I've been thinking about what to do about the giant spider everyone's been getting eaten by lately, and I think I came up with something. I'm going to ask the admins to get rid of it in the suggestion box. They keep saying they want to help us, so they should put their money where their mouth is.

To anyone that was wondering what it is, someone posted saying it was a lusus? Which is like a big animal thing that acts as a guardian for a troll. Not that that explains why it was eating people, which brings me around to--

Okay, I hardly know you, but Vriska Serket, what the heck where you thinking?! If it's your lusus, you can't exactly have missed what was going on! How could you just let it eat people? I don't care if they came back, it still ate them.

Are all of you that got attacked okay?

Would anyone like to have another friend?

[Short, sweet, and to the point - she's very tired of having more accidental enemies than people she can rely on.]

[ooc: translated - Hello! I'm Feferi! Feferi Peixes. So, as you can probably guess from the confused tone of voice, I just woke up here.

So what is the deal with not being able to move when you wake up? That was glubbing scary! I mean, it takes a lot to scare me like that, but this did it. PLEASE tell me that doesn't happen every time you fall asleep?

I'm curious about this collar, too, but I think I can live with it. Unless it's the reason I woke up all frozen. In which case, I would really like to get it off me.

Oh cod, here I am carping on about otter things when I forgot the most important one! Is there anybody else from Alternia here? I know there's probably not a whole lot of it left, but I really want to be sure everybody is all right.]

SEE, I KNEW WE WERE TOO CLOSE TO THAT GODDAMNED NEON GREEN HEAVENLY BODY.
AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING TO ASSUME THIS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE MISSIVE REFERS TO
SINCE WE ALL KNOW THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE PLANET DESTROYED, BUT THE ENTIRE FUCKING UNIVERSE.
THANKS A LOT FOR THAT ONE, LALONDE, IN CASE YOU'RE FUCKING READING THIS.
I SINCERELY DOUBT THAT THE MEDIUM IMPLODING ON ITSELF OR WHATEVER HAPPENED TO IT COUNTS AS SOME HEROIC DEATH.
THOUGH I DON'T KNOW, I COULD COUNT AT LEAST SIXTY WAYS IN WHICH IT COULD PASS AS A JUSTIFIED DEATH SO WHO THE FUCK EVEN KNOWS ANYMORE.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS IS HOOFBEAST SHIT.
I DON'T CARE WHO THE FUCK YOU NOOKBITING BULGE HUMPERS ARE, BUT YOU DIDN'T SAVE SHIT.
ALL OF THE SHIT WAS ON ITS WAY TO BE FIXED AND PACKAGED UP NEATLY WITH A PRETTY RIBBON ON TOP
THEN AWAY IT WOULD GO TO BE LODGED UNDER THE HUMAN CHRISTMAS TREE.
THERE WE WOULD WAIT IN EAGER ANTICIPATION, KNOWING THAT ALL OF OUR EFFORTS HERE WOULD
*MOTHERFUCKING FINALLY*
BEAR SOME SEMBLANCE OF FRUIT.
BUT OH NO! OH NO NO NO!
CAN'T HAVE *THAT* NOW CAN WE?
ONCE THINGS START GOING RIGHT THAT MEANS SOMETHING *OBVIOUSLY* NEEDS TO GO EVEN FUCKING MORE WRONG THAN BEFORE!
THE POWERS THAT BE IN EVERY OTHER UNIVERSE SEEM TO WANT TO CONVERGE ON THE SINGLE MOMENT OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY AND SHATTER IT WITH A HUGE ASS HAMMER.
OOPS! THERE GO THOSE SHARDS, SMASHED INTO A FINE POWDER THAT BLOWS AWAY IN THE FAINTEST OF BREEZES.
ALL I CAN REALLY SAY ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS
WHAT
THE
FUCK.
 
 
If anyone's looking for Xander, Dawn, or Aradia, they've left. I'm sorry.

I need something to do, so. If anyone who's run into a demon-slash-monster in the tower could reply with what they know about it, I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to try to put together a list of all the ones we know of, so we can be prepared and maybe know their weak spots in advance when we run into them.

You can use this form if you want, but you know, whatever you want to say is fine. If someone else has already described it, could you reply to their thread and say where you saw them, and add anything they missed? Thanks, this'll really help.

<b>Floor Encountered On:</b>
<b>Physical Description:</b>
<b>Methods of Attack / Special Abilities:</b>

[Hey there tower- you know this face? She doesn't make it a point to use the network often, but when she does, it's usually for a good reason. Today's reason seems to be making announcements, settled in the library with tea beside her and her sketchbook in hand as ever.]

Strega- we will have breakfast tomorrow. All of us. Please don't make me have to come and bring you down. It would assuredly not be worth the trouble.

[Don't make her do it boys. It'll be ugly. Or at the very least, unpleasant.]

Willow- I have more things ready for you, if you would care to come try them on. I feel I may need to request a few more types of fabric from the tower if I am to continue, however. I would like to get the rest of these done properly or not at all.

[Because so many projects, so little of the necessary fabric to use- but half-assing things isn't her style.]

There is one more matter I'd care to bring up, if I may. Her Imperious Condescension, if I might request your attention a moment.

[She picks up her tea then, fingers curling delicately around the cup. It's not an actual request of course, because she takes another sip and continues on regardless-]

It has come to my attention that you have taken issue with the fact that one of your subjects is in a moirallegiance with me. While I am certain you have nothing but his best interests at heart- [she's absolutely sure of the opposite, actually]- I feel I must implore you to kindly mind your own quadrants. Presuming of course, there are any more of your subjects here loyal or willing enough to enter into them with you. If not, perhaps you should look into finding a quadrant-mate outside of the limited number of your people- it seems to be working out just fine for some of the rest of them, after all.

[She takes another sip of her tea, then sets it aside and reaches forward toward the console.]

Ah- and if you should hurt him again like you did before, I believe you will find that not everyone is quite so willing to let you do as you please, Highness.

[Chidori out, yo.]
 
 
HEY, THIS IS THE SIGNLESS.

I HAVEN'T REALLY POSTED TO THE NETWORK IN A WHILE, AND I'D APOLOGIZE, BUT I REALIZE THAT NONE OF YOU PROBABLY TAKE MUCH JOY IN SEEING MY EYE-BLEEDING BIG-LETTERED CANDY RED TEXT, ANYWAY. SOME OF YOU, PARTICULARLY THE TROLLS, ARE PROBABLY WEEPING FROM YOUR OCULARS ALREADY, REACHING FOR THE KEYBOARD TO SPEW YOUR VITRIOL AT ME FOR EXISTING.

BUT DON'T WORRY. YOU'RE SUFFERING FOR A REASON.

Her Imperious Condescension
Orphaner Dualscar
The Grand Highblood Subjugglator.

If you know these names, then you know that to encounter any of these trolls is dangerous at best, and very likely to be fatal.

To be honest, I feel partly responsible. Since they arrived in the tower, I have tried to show them that the hemospectrum doesn't give them the right to cull indiscriminately, that there are other ways of dealing with people that are more constructive, and even beneficial to them. All three of them have rejected this notion, and while I do have hope that they might come around eventually, we cannot allow them to simply continue to treat the tower - and the people here - as their own personal sporting arena.

But I'm just one troll, and I'm not a very big one. I need help, I need a plan. And taking revenge upon them is not going to make a positive difference in this situation.

So please. Is there anyone here who can do something to, at least temporarily, make them stop killing? Maybe if they can start to feel what it's like to be powerless, they can begin to relate to those of us whom they have held down for so long.

I don't want to hurt them, and I believe anyone else in this tower who engages in violence should be dealt with in the same way. This tower is our home, at least for now, and if we are all going to live here, I think it's time to lay down some groundrules, and figure out how to enforce them.

okay soooooo
oh if anyone does not know
i am echidna! just btw
so back home we have these kind of games we play called tabeltop games!
which are basically roleplaying and strategy games that you play using a guide book, and you make up your own character to play as and you play through a story
one person is called the game master (or dungeon master since one of the most popular modules is called dungeons and dragons) and they design an adventure for the other players to act out through narration. the game master controls the enemies and the non-player characters that you can meet and talk to on the adventure, and combat is based on rolling dice and each character's individual stats.
it is really fun! :D
my friend ammy and i played a lot with our friends back at home
so we were wondering if anyone here wanted to play a campaign with us!
we are going to play with one of our dm's really old homebrew modules called problem sleuth
its reeeaaaaally old
and about detectives!
i mean seriously the pictures are in black and white and everything O_O
except the candy is colored for some reason :?
idk
but it looks really cool and we have been wanting to try it out!
but dick was all like nooooooo were playing sburb you babies
weh
if you do not know anything about tabletop stuff that is ok!
and me and ammy can teach anybody that wants to learn! :)
and i think this module is basically like easy mode stuff
at least there is not much math
but if there is ammy will probably do it for you :V !
so yeah you guys should try it. itll be reeeaaaally cool!!! <3



p.s. does anybody have a baseball cap i can borrow???
and/or a potato

My name is Ken Ichijouji. Eleven years old, Tamachi Elementary student from Odaiba, Japan.

I was brought to this tower about a week ago. I'm not exactly unfamiliar with travelling to other worlds but this is certainly the first time I've woken up in one like I did. The collars are a little...close to home but other than that I've yet to experience any sort of discomfort.

I've already figured out the part about being trapped here, and quite frankly I'm a bit disappointed the cafeteria food is uncannily like my mother's cooking.

If anyone knows anybody named Daisuke Motomiya, Takeru Takaishi, Hikari Yagami, Iori Hida or Miyako Inoue, could you please inform them that I'm rooming in 2-10. Thank you in advance.

You know what, I am so sick of this. Completely sick of this!! And look at me, repeating myself and using multiple exclamation points (two!) like a rebel. Because I am a rebel!

I'm tired of all these embarrassing personal incidents. When they aren't embarrassing, they're deeply horrifying and disturbing. I just want regular old test taking anxiety again! I want worrying about whether Anya is going to ask Giles if he has a new orgasm friend yet in public! And all that demon stuff, even that was familiar.

But here it's like, oh, here's that troll kid I'm friends with and he got his arm torn off. Here's me turning myself into a troll and going creepy stalker over Aradia. (Which by the way, oh Goddess am I sorry for and eternally mortified about.) Or here's me picking up the bloody scraps of the clothes of the double of someone I'm friends with!

And don't tell me I'm using too many of's there, I told you I'm a rebel today! I just want my test taking anxiety back, darn it. I'd even take worrying over when I'm going back to college, and that was a lot of worrying.

... Okay, whining done. End whining. In other news, who's still having wacky collar-induced sickness and power-tampering shenanigans? Cause frankly I'm finding this really worrying and I want to get to the bottom of this.

Um, guys?

One of the floors is a forest.
[For most this is a rather insignificant statement, but for someone who has never seen trees outside parks and plastic containers this is new. He is use to steel beams holding up tons concrete, not greenery or forest creatures strolling about. Old media did not prepare him for what real nature is like.

Not at all.

He does not know what to make of this discovery. It brings him no closer to finding a way out, but it is not something he can brush off as nothing. Especially seeing how the room does not meet the same measurements as the other rooms he has seen. He believes there is some explaining needing to be done because physics do not work that way.
]


How in the hell does that even work?




 
 
oka wait this isn't going to work >:(

um, is this better?? wait wait ta-da!!!

oh right, um! this is amadeus! i want to ask something that has to do with font!

i know there's a lot of AUs
or OUs
or...whatever you'd prefer i call you!!

but, why does everyone use the same font? doesn't that strike anyone else as weird??? i mean, i don't know why dick (our DM!!!) was insistent, but i'm just curious, is all!

maybe if we didn't all type in courier we wouldn't have all those sad accidents of people mistaking others by fonts or whatever!

not that i think anyone is entitled to keep theirs over anyone elses!

okay maybe this was a bad idea

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?

Something tells me that my world’s not actually been destroyed. Because my world? It’s pretty destructo-proof. We’ve proven that. A couple times, actually. We’re like cockroaches, cut off our heads and we come right back. And some letter saying that you saved me from the big bad--

[ a beat ] Hold on. Who are you supposed to be, anyway? You and your little letter with your little words. Because if you’re not Buffy then i’ve gotta wonder if you’re trying to be her and i’m not sure she’s ever been too big on imitation or flattery being the highest art of anything.

And anyway, if my world had been destroyed, you would’ve saved Buffy, not me. Probably Will, too. I’m not usually the guy that gets picked for these sort of things -- it’s like how I always picked last for dodgeball and put on the bench. I’d probably get picked last for who gets to live in the brand new world order, too.

So, uh, you maybe wanna tell me what’s actually going on? ‘Cause the fake letter really isn’t gonna cut it.
 
 
08 February 2012 @ 05:22 pm
[...] Hello.

Scientists: I know you're most likely not listening, but is there a reason you've suddenly decided to destroy our worlds too? I'm unsure if I believe that, for starters, though the sudden change in environment-- recompensation, perhaps?

I've yet to recognize anyone, which surprises me a little... Everyone else is here too, right?



[pause.]

Does anyone have a hairbrush I could borrow?
