snowblindrpg | [network] @Mnemosyne; text Day 122, after the obits;All return to nothing [open]

I'm assuming you're talking about the dream states we experienced.

[It's the only way this mess of a statement fits into anything relevant around here.]

Why do you think it's something extraterrestrial?

My own first assumption is supernatural, actually. Angel suggested the alien option. It makes more sense in the context of her world.

What's your reasoning for that, then? From either of you?

You still have things you can do.
You know that, right?

[Screw everything else at the moment, that is the important part.]

Yes. But I couldn't help Angel and Rhys. So I may need some time before other things seem important.

[There you have it, candidly as anything.]

[He knows that feeling all too well.]
I understand.
Take your time, man.
Try to remember there are others who still need you, too.

pretty sure all we learned is that robots don't dream of electric sheep, becky
you say supernatural or extraterrestrial
i see computer program gone awry
aliens didn't build the pyramids
people are just better at engineering than you think sometimes

I'm inclined to agree with Dr. H here. While technically any explanation is possible, given that all worlds are possible, the simplest explanation is more often correct. Anything you all saw in your dreams could easily just be your mind trying to interpret something too complex to translate.

["You," not "we." He didn't have any of those dreams.]

Like a computer with programming you weren't equipped to interface with correctly.

Did either of you experience the ocean dream? I very much doubt that what I encountered there was a human creation. But as I said, I'm no longer sure of my own judgement.

Nope! Unpronounca8le-name OP is right. Cloaky McProphet was all "8luh 8luh the administr8tor is one aspect of a gr8ter whole 8luh" when I called them out on str8 up making a horrorterror their empress. So it checks out!
And I dou8le-checked that it IS a monster, fyi. 8ecause you never know with prophets and the way they squirm out of giving any answers that actually count for shit. It 8n't no computer!
Trust me. I spent like two whole days ready to 8arf up everything I have ever eaten 8ecause I could see through the floor and it was all eyes and mouths and tentacles and pulsing and shit. Super gross.
I also made sure to check that we can kill it. And we can! So you guys just call me when the puzzle crap is over so I can do the REAL work, ok. ::::)

[They don't respond immediately. They're reluctant to respond at all. Their opinion of Beckett is... not the highest, even under the best of circumstances.

But in the end, they still do.]

How does that make any difference?

[Thinking along the same lines as Brian and Zell here.]

Huh.

I can see your reasoning, Fangs, but this would make the Administration System what, exactly?

A way to distribute or disseminate the resources afforded by the being, I suppose? The Norfinbury admin is clearly an interface of some sort. Perhaps the entity's power was used in a number of cities, each of which had its own interface. It would explain the many hands.

[ Well, that's comforting. Like JENOVA all over again... Something prickles under Zack's skin at the thought. ]

people really need to stop messing around with what they don't fully understand. I guess to add on to what you're saying though if what we were dreaming definitely has connections to this place we have a time limit too.

[Oh no, not you. And not throwing that kind of philosophy at him.]

Understanding only comes from messing around.

[But he doesn't have the mindset to take this forward. Not even with Zack.]

Something about half our time being up? It's not surprising. We're all being slowly poisoned after all.

[Aliens... again. Rydia shakes her head before turning on the comunication, trying to sound as neutral as possible.]

I wouldn't be surprised if she's a fellow prisoner, when we all collapsed during the hackign attempt Admin sounded in pain, as far as we know she may be forced to take our own wounds on herself... or something. Or being one of the biggest liars I've ever seen.

That being said, this is still all speculation and we still need to dig deeper to find out what she really is. And you may say you're no longer good for this game but I still consider you one of our better players- and it seems like I'm not the only one.
... Beckett, do you need to talk?

Edited 2016-05-30 08:16 (UTC)

She is expending energy, no doubt there. Though considering the scale of what I've witnessed, I'm surprised we could even make a dent.

[There's a pause there. Does he need to talk? She's being kind - under normal circumstances her comment on him being one of the better players would tickle his pride. But now, what would talking do?]

I'm thinking in circles, Rydia. The more information we get, the more I find myself speculating, the more I wonder if I truly want to try. It feels too late for answers to matter much.

the admin reminds me a lot of the denizens from my world(s)(??)
one lives in the center of every players planet, and they can be very helpful if you dont fight them!

[ She sees you being a shitbird, Vriska. ]

mine was particularly important in our session. we needed her help in a veeeeery risky plan that probably would have gotten us all killed
uhhh, PERMANENTLY killed, that is
but it didnt!! i think she knew we would cheat our way to another universe before this one destroyed itself
in exchange for one of her quills, i promised to bring the battlefield and all of our planets with me if we escaped
as in literal planets
at least the size of earths moon
this would be impossible even in sburb, unless you could somehow shrink them to a more portable size.....
which is the kind of thing that a witch of space like me can do! 8)
to get that kind of power, though, you have to die
denizens are all about giving you a Choice that makes you face your own mortality

[ There's also the deal John made with Typheus, but she doesn't want anyone to go for that kind of solution. ]

ummmmm......
what i mean by all of this is that i think trying to fight the admin wont do much good
and that maybe helping her would help us

oh! there is also a finite amount of resources like food and nima
which we are apparently also halfway through

The riddling beast - yes - very common mythic trope. Which in my world is often as not based on fact. Not surprising. Does this mean that you were able to save al

[The writing stops abruptly. No. No. He doesn't want to know.

Something else.]

If the town could reach some kind of consensus about not fighting the admin, that would be welcome.

That is the first I hear about a finite amount of food, though. How would that align with the existence of so many previous sessions? Does each session get an allotted amount?

Strength in you. I can believe it. I am not you, Enoch.
