You know what? Close enough.

That's as close to comprehension as I'm going to ask of you on this matter. Stick with that assessment, it'll serve you fine.

NOTICE:

The Chantry's goodwill visit to the Hollow One's open house seance and poetry slam has been cancelled due to a lack of sign-ups.

It's always tigers and spiders and the graceful predators you guys choose for your allegories.

Just once I want to hear one of you day something like "Have you ever seen a toad hunt? They stay buried in the mud like a piece of crud until the gross bug comes along. Yum yum."

Oh another that needs jammies to sleep, huh?

This is interesting to me. I'm actually working on a thesis about fixation on symbols of "coziness" as a manifestation of Clarity.

Do you see a lot of "dad moustaches" where you are? It seems to be a pattern since you loosened your rules on facial hair.

Oh well if she's okay by the lady who lives in a fishbowl full of nutrient sludge then she's gotta be normal, right?

Please don't say the word "predator" to me, I can hear the perverse glee it gives you from here.

I know that. I'm not running from morality actually. That's very much a you problem.

lol IT-X get rekt.

When the disbelief comes crashing in all at once.

Died. By failed you mean died, the thing that humans do. The ones that still have their souls in tact. Those humans.

It took a while but actually a workaround WAS found? Kinda became a whole thing though. We don't generally talk about that guy. Actually glad this one WASN'T on us in the Order... largely.

IMMORTALITY SPELLS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE VITAE!

YEARS OF DIABLERIE yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for not just using a Time/Life effect or making a pact with a faerie.

Wanted to become a creature of living death anyway for a laugh? We had that it's called ENTROPY.

Getting multiple interested parties so I'm just going to let the sympathetic magick decide.

I'll hand it off to a Hollower geek I know and he'll take it to resell at the next con. Just keep checking the booths and retro retailers with the must putrid resonance you can and it'll find you.

Alright. I can admit when I've made a mistake. TBH, the "you die in the game, you die in real life" thing is hackneyed to begin with. I just wanted to prove I could.

But this just isn't worth the paradox. I'm pulling the plug. Anyone here who would want what is now a VERY haunted Game Boy Color?

Oh I... I really thought the "Biological supercomputer" thing in your bio was just you being cute but... ah.

If I promise it's just because I like messy hot goss and won't use it as kompromat will you tell us?

Do they all name their AIs either "Daedalus" or "Helios" in a reference to that one game? The VA do that and it's always so cringe and also kinda disrespectful to Helios worshippers.

If you think about it: dying is the best wellness of all?

Or uh... seek not to not be dead, lest ye be alive but sick?

Yeah I don't really do the mantras thing but they'd tell you they're helping... I'm told we have to accept that now that Janissary is gone :(

You'll never catch him. We have hidden him beyond finding. Even we don't know where he is.

I like to think we could have kept him safer by holding on to him but... we were so done listening to that guy talk. Let me tell you.

Still working to discern if today's outage is a sign that our ongoing efforts to mindfreak the sleepers may have rendered this platform temporarily vulnerable to paradox, or if it's just Iteration-X trying to make coincidental AI happen again.

Give it up guys, it's never going to happen.

//Cut to:

Did I register as Bonisagus4ever by mistake? Do you see "Tweeting from my (now permanent) vacation in a Horizon realm?"

I think the people who know our House know we aren't the one with all the archmagi. Well... there are a few old Verditius Merlins now, but I'm not skeeting about making pendants.

Woah woah. I mean I'm all for wielding phenomenal cosmic power, don't get me wrong. But telling the stars in the sky to go the other direction just because it serves our personal convenience is DEF the kind of Dark Ages hubris that we probably shouldn't be returning to.

Is it still on it's way? We got impatient over here and one of the Brothers started playing the True Name of Pigeonkind over a high-frequency amplifier?

There's like... at least five hundred pigeons in the chantry now. What does yours look like? Can we narrow this down?

I'm not saying you invented Marauders like you did the Marks and all the other horror shows you tote around!

I'm saying you're yanking the umbrella away and telling us it's a good thing you're here when it rains! And like... stuff isn't going good? Do you think people feel safe? Grateful?

Ya. Sry. I'm skeeting from my crystal ball right now and I'm getting bad service because Mercury is in retrograde. Sent a reply.

See what I did there? We can be self aware.

I'm not going to fight against character limits to try to explain the metaphysics to you, let alone frame it in a language your stilted worldview can understand. Suffice to say that the universe has mechanisms for dealing with Marauders.

Mechanisms that are broken. Because YOU broke them.

Do you think I'm saying Marauders are good?

Do you not grasp the situation we're all in here? Your people blew up the dam, the town is flooded, and you are standing here, waist deep in water, saying: "The PROBLEM is all this flotsam floating around. Someone could get hurt!"

The THING that is supposed to make people like you and I "Enlightened," as you call it, is that we don't just see manifestations, we see causes. We know that things DON'T happen at random, not even Marauders, as chaotic as they seem.

Wanna guess what the "cause" of 90% of our problems are?

Okay. I'm actually trying very hard NOT to laugh right now, and given the circumstances I hope you appreciate it's not without effort. But you're sharing a story where comrades of yours were killed, and even if they're no comrades of mine, that's nothing to snicker at.

But you're missing my point.

Suggestions like this would be useless if there weren't people like us out there developing systems of translation to represent GPS coordinates in a language angels can understand.

Just sayin'
