Kaprao: Recruit some more players.

[flowerwhisperer]

So you have recently learnt that your half your session somehow went and died one way or another and you are all POSSIBLY REALLY BONED now. For some reason a part of you isn't really surprised that it's come down to this, but then again you are already used to bad things happening.

But that is besides the point! You are going to go and try RECRUITING NEW PLAYERS and hopefully avert everyone dying horribly. You have some people in mind, which is to say there are people you'd really rather not die from meteors because they don't deserve it. You just have to...figure out how to explain that it's either a potentially really dangerous game or imminent death by meteor.

Damn.

PS: urm
PS: he||o

Clearly you will not be interrupted in your efforts.

[flowerwhisperer]

oh
urm
thank you very much
for doing that

[mapmaking]

Im sorry abouT The flowers--x......

You take a deep breath and bury your head in your arms for a moment before continuing. Something about the way this conversation is starting is telling you that you should probably just give up hope now.

....but you've got to be brave, because what if you have to put out fires or something?

buT sure--x.
I promIse noT To freak ouT--x.

[flowerwhisperer]

urm
what if i to|d you
there might be a way to escape the meteors
which is to say
there's sti|| a pretty high possibi|ity of doom but at |east it's not definite

[mapmaking]

.......--x.
you mean--x
noT everyone on alTernIa Is goIng To lIve afTer ThIs--x?

Not that you can say you're entirely surprised (meteors, after all), but still. This is a highly distressing thought.

buT rIghT noT freakIng ouT--x....
uh--x
sure Tell me whaT IT Is Then--x.

[flowerwhisperer]

urm
it's a game
i know this sounds rea||y si||y but
my former moirai| apparent|y started seeing the end of the wor|d
so he convinced a friend to program a game
the game wou|d transport its p|ayers into another wor|d to escape
urm
she tried to keep a secret because it can on|y support twe|ve peop|e max
except
now ha|f of our team is
dead
or gone
and we're now missing p|ayers for important ro|es
so un|ess we can fi|| those p|aces again we're apparently sti|| in troub|e anyway

[mapmaking]

no--x
no I donT wanT The end of The world to come--x!

Okay, so maybe you lied about the panicking thing.

how many oTher people are you TryIng To Talk To abouT ThIs--x?

....and do you have room for nine? You get up and dash into the hive, trying to find your siblings first.

[flowerwhisperer]

Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck how do you tell him that even if you weren't inviting other people, there already wouldn't be enough room for his hivemates? Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck why did you make yourself the bearer of bad news --

You are beginning to understand what Phaest might have felt, back then.

you
and four other peop|e
we a|ready
have four |eft from the orgina| group

[flowerwhisperer]

...Wait a minute.

HOW DID YOU FORGET THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT ALL THIS.
