[acceptedoblivion]

So, "rescuees".
We've known what we really look like for the last few months. So I ask, have any of you even wondered what our so-called "administrators" look like without the glamour?

Well, now that the monthly distractions are over, I have one thing to show you. Say hello to your favorite scientist.

[Ira smirks, holding up a picture to the camera of a certain drawing that his friend drew from his sister's memories.]


Some of you may remember another person sharing this sketch, and it's true - even the admins aren't what they seem.

Now Jason, I ask you directly: How do you call yourself human?

[Can't even say that it's the way he claims to be human, either.]

[[ooc: The visible sketch is a WIP because Jason literally crashed photoshop four times when I tried to load it. Will update it later when it lets me finish.]]

[And one of the infrequent times this replica checks the network, he's greeted with that thing.]

That's...do all of them look like that, or just him?

[video]

[acceptedoblivion]

[It is their infamous crappy luck stats or wonderful timing stats; he's almost sure of it.]

Pretty sure just him, but who knows what the others look like?

[There's this girl staring at the art work.... and she doesn't really react that much.]

A-actually, I know someone who's human that looks like that sometimes.

[video]

[acceptedoblivion]

But is it their real form or just something they turn into?

[He is seriously wondering about you other worlds.]

[animusnpcs]

If we're to base what everyone is on what they look like under the glamour, what would that make all of you?

voice

[acceptedoblivion]

What. You consider us human? [Gee, can someone not take the sarcasm at face value?]

[idkworldruler]

Omg, it's slenderman

[acceptedoblivion]

Who? [You are confusing the eight month old...]

[integrous]

W.. what's with his face?! And those arms-- t.. that isn't human at all..!

[ And it makes Asahi freak out. She's already bad with ghosts and the like and this thing looks like it came right out of a ghost story.. she honestly prefers the way Jason usually looks, and her face goes pale now at this sight. ]

[acceptedoblivion]

I think it may be a mask... but that might be wishful thinking.

[You know, he'd feel bad for the girl, but he knows what it's like to not be told the truth or fooled.]

[silencetoreason]

[France's voice is halting and tentative, like it's just a second away from full-on trembling. He's immediately regretting his decision to check the network today.]

You are... certain that is what he looks like? That face...

voice

[acceptedoblivion]

Yeah, I'm sure. I don't see a reason to lie about it.

*Enoch looks strained, his features tight, and there's a hint of indignation in his tone.*

Aren't you and I human?

"Souls in our world are defined as the self."

It's true in my world as well. Does it matter what his body looks like? Or are we only golems of metal and film and nothing more?

*There's a noticeable shift in his look - he's playing back replies as he records and he realizes Jason has already said the same thing. Oops.*

[acceptedoblivion]

May be true for yours, but it isn't for me.

video - private

[acceptedoblivion]

[Congrats on parroting the mad scientist, though - gold star for not checking the responses beforehand. His response is bitter with a side of vitriol.]

Just because someone looks human doesn't mean that they are. And to answer your question: Yes it does matter. Or would you like anyone to go unprepared into the unknown the next time the glamour glitches and they accidentally come across him?

Nice answer, regardless.

[flamingjustice]

Wow, he looks like the kind of thing you'd try and kill before it could kill you. Has someone tried setting him on fire yet?

video

[acceptedoblivion]

No idea. Wouldn't put it past some of the people here, though.

[Video]

[great_king_of_evil]

Disappointing. I have seen lower class demons that look more threatening. Hopefully this is just you lacking any drawing skills.

[Video]

[acceptedoblivion]

It's not my drawing, but someone from my world drew it.

[He shrugs, though were it in person? It'd be obvious that he's seething. That's his personality-mother the person-he-still-cares-about you just insulted.]

[Video]

[blackestomen]

That's ghastly.

[She shifts uncomfortably, and delicately rests a hand upon her cheek, eyes not on the video camera but apparently still studying the drawing.]

But somehow, I'm not surprised...

[Video]

[acceptedoblivion]

I'd be surprised if you were. [After all, it's Jason.]

[video]

[sacrament_of_blood]

So that is the face of one of our enemies. The appearance matters not, though, as the flesh is only temporary housing for the immortal soul. Still, I much appreciate being shown this. The knowledge shall prove useful should I encounter him outside the illusion.

[video]

[acceptedoblivion]

Exactly why I shared it. [That, and his sister didn't want to share again.]

[voice]

[mywayofhelping]

I'm afraid not all of us have been here for a few months. How exactly do we look?

[voice]

[acceptedoblivion]

What - never saw yourself during a glamour glitch? There've been several this month as is.

[rememberscarlet]

...That is one of the administrators?

[He's just asking to be sure, because wow...]

[acceptedoblivion]

Yeah. It's what Jason really looks like.

[For almost a minute, David doesn't say anything on his end. He's intensely staring at the sketch, head moving slightly as he takes in the details—but from the way he's holding that cigar tightly in his mouth, lips pressed into a frown, it looks like he's glowering.]

[When he finally does speak, his tone of voice removes all doubt.]

... Dat reminds me a lot of a villain I've tangled with back home.

Two villains, maybe.
