I spent some time looking through the network backlog and tracking down the posts that the tower administrators have made before, and I have to say, I'm underwhelmed. A whole lot of ambiguous morals, incoherent and vaguely creepy requests for user log in, and a distressed child. Not a whole lot of answers.

So who's been around for a while? Is there anyone that's been here the longest? And do you have anything to add to the above, because I'm all ears. Even if we can't find a way out, it's worth trying to pool our information.

Before anyone asks why I'm saying this on the network that they presumably monitor, hey, I'd love to talk to them.

In the meantime I'm going to see if I can find out what keeps putting this thing on the fritz every so often, because it's majorly annoying, and also may be connected to something. Anyone computery want to help me out with that?

It's nice to meet you, too!

Someone else mentioned the experimenting, but could you tell me about the phantoms? I don't think I've heard that part.

tHE POWER FAILED, oNCE, aND THERE WERE PHANTOMS THAT WE COULDN'T BEAT,
aND, uH, tHEY MADE YOU FEEL POWERLESS, aND TOOK YOUR ENERGY,

[also they killed him but DETAILS]

[guiltapalooza]

Well that's nice and horrifying. Did they take powers away or just make you feel that way and suck up all your life force?

[pchaaair]

iT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE OF THE SECOND,

[guiltapalooza]

That's a relief. I mean yeah, still terrifying and ending in death and mayhem, but I think if I lost my magic I'd really lose my marbles.

[pchaaair]

yEAH, fOR THE MOST PART, iT IS KIND OF A RELIEF, bUT ALSO NOT REALLY, aT THE SAME TIME,

[guiltapalooza]

It's funny how often that happens.

Do you have any abilities you'd be afraid of losing?

[pchaaair]

uHH,
aNIMAL COMMUNING, i THINK,

[guiltapalooza]

Oh so you're at least a little like the Summoner! Can you control monster types, too?

[pchaaair]

yEAH,
i CAN CONTROL A LOT OF THINGS, fOR THE MOST PART,
i DON'T REALLY LIKE DOING IT, tHOUGH, uNLESS i HAVE TO,

[guiltapalooza]

That's really impressive. But I can understand not wanting to do it.

At least for me, mind control stuff is pretty... murky. Definitely on the darker side of the force, if that reference makes any sense at all to you.

[pchaaair]

uH, nO, i DO NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOUR REFERENCE,
bUT, yEAH, iT IS DEFINITELY KIND OF MURKY, i GUESS, dEPENDING ON HOW IT IS USED, sINCE, i THINK THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT,

[guiltapalooza]

I suspected you wouldn't get a Star Wars reference, but it's still sad to see. Tragic, even. They have the movies on the media level, you should totally watch them sometime!

I agree with the "how it's used" being the important part. I've used it to help before, and I've used it to hurt. You have to be careful with it. But you seem like you do a really good job of that!

[pchaaair]

i THINK i WILL, sINCE, iT IS NOT LIKE WE USUALLY HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO,
aND, yOU SEEM LIKE YOU DO A GOOD JOB WITH THAT, tOO,

[guiltapalooza]

They're a whole series-- six of them. But definitely start with episode IV and go through to VI before watching I - III. Just trust me on that one.

Me? Oh, no no. I do better now but I'm very much not good job girl with the magic using. I make mistakes all the time. I'm trying to get better!
