[Open] ====> Eighis: Flip your shit

[notyouraigis]

No. You will not flip your shit. You will not freak out. You will not panic. You will remain perfectly calm. You don't even have anything to freak out about anyway. Although Arinna hasn't been answering when you try to troll her. Your last contact with her was when she gave you your copy of the game, and you haven't heard a word from her since. It's not too worrying. After all, it hasn't been that long since your last contact. You'll start worrying when it's been a perigee since Arinna last answered your trolling attempts. Or when giant flaming rocks start falling from the sky. Which ever is sooner.

You suppose that you could pass out copies of the game in Arinna's stead. She probably wouldn't mind.

So, I guess this end of the world thing really is happening.
It's too bad we won't have time to actually try out any of our plans for revolution.

[notyouraigis]

they wouldn't h^ve worked, ^nyw^y.
...
w^|t.
the end of the world?
you me^n |t's ^<tu^lly h^ppen|ng?

Apparently this is what happens when you don't look out your window for a few hours. The world starts ending. When you look out the window now, you can see that there are meteors still coming down.

Giant flaming rocks.

Falling from the sky.




...Oh. Fuck.

[austereastronomer]

It's funny how that sort of thing works out, I guess.
It's a bit stupid, but I've started feeling like there are things I'll miss about this place.

The meteors haven't gone unnoticed by you. They seem to be quite distant from your area for the time being, but who knows how long that will last.

[notyouraigis]

You cannot be Mandya, because Mandya is asleep! She may or may not be actively trying to sleep through the apocalypse.

====> Eighis: Panic.

No. What's the point? You failed to keep one very important person alive. There is no point anymore.

It takes all your willpower to not throw in the towel right then and there. They may not be as important as her (Bharal being the exception to that rule), but you can't just ditch them. Especially since Arinna is nowhere to be found and you're pretty much in charge.

If Arinna was still around, you'd ditch them all in a heartbeat.

[chroniker]

Hey, my unhuman friend!
Which I still don't quite understand, but that's not the point!
Have you heard anything about the end of the world?
Because there is a lot of hullabaloo about it from my friends, and I'm wondering if you've heard something about it. 8I

[notyouraigis]

|'ve he^rd ^bout |t.
everyth|ng you've he^rd |s true.

[chroniker]

But how do you know?
Are there signs?

[notyouraigis]

[soundtricks]

okay so I don't think they've started coming planetside yet
and I'm pretty sure I'm kind of late to the party on this one
but those sure are some ~fucking meteors~ in the sky right now Eig

[notyouraigis]

ye^h. | <^n see them.
| never thought |'d s^y th|s, but merzet w^s r|ght.
the world |s go|ng to be destroyed by meteors.

[soundtricks]

the words 'Merzet', 'right' and 'death by meteors' are not a good components to a sentence
fuck all, 'death by meteors' isn't good in any sentence, really
so what the fuck are we gonna do♫
