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.

what if i to|d you i am a part of a group
p|aying a game designed specfica||y to escape the meteors
which apparent|y entai|s having my hive transported to
uh
another dimension
i don't know how it's possib|e but it is it seems
and right now
ha|f of the orgina| group is dead or otherwise gone
and now i'm here trying to recruit more peop|e to save from meteors and to a|so try and ensure the surviva| of the remaining members

[elaphaea]

( ...what. )

( i'm sorry, that was very rude of me! )
( but... that is... sort of a lot to take in... )
( are you being serious right now? i mean... it is unlike you to tease... but i'm not really certain if you are just speculating or fantasizing... )
( ...or if this is something that is actually happening. )
( or at least... that you believe is actually happening... )

[flowerwhisperer]

i am
very serious
and i have no sense of humor anyway
as ridicu|ous as it sounds and i cannot be|ieve i tried to exp|ain that
urm
if you know austereAstronomer or artfu|Transgressor they can confirm this

[elaphaea]

( okay, i am going to try to believe you... )
( especially since this is so important to you... and you say that others' survival depends on it... )
( i don't really know AT but i have spoken to AA from time to time... and it is true that she seems extremely trustworthy... )
( but all of this... a game? )
( how on alternia did you ever find out about something like this in the first place? i don't know that it ever would have occurred to me that a game could stop a meteor... )

[flowerwhisperer]

to be honest i'm not sure how this is even possib|e
my former moirai| started having visions of the meteors
and managed to persuade a friend into |ooking for a way to escape them
somehow her answer was to program this game
and it works
apparent|y?
and i somehow got invited

[elaphaea]

( wait... kaprao... your "former" moirail? )
( why didn't you ever tell me about this? i... i'm really sorry to hear about it... )
( are... are they still around... or did they... die? )

[flowerwhisperer]

it was kind of
recent
and i had a lot of things to worry about besides
he's
gone

[elaphaea]

( oh ... oh gosh i am so sorry... that's really awful... )
( i guess... well, with everything that's happening now... a lot of trolls are going to die, aren't they... )
( probably me too... )
( i mean... unless... i guess, unless this thing you're telling me about works... )

( i'm sorry, i should be comforting you... believe me when i say i know how painful the loss of a quadrant can be, like a whole part of yourself... )
( my mind is just so scattered right now; i don't know how to handle all of this at once. )

that is okay
i'm just trying
to keep some peop|e from dying
even if we can't save a |ot of tro||s

[elaphaea]

( that's really brave of you... )

( ...okay. )
( i'm going to do my best to pull myself together. how can i help? )
( i... i don't want anyone to die, even if it is already too late for some of us... )
( how many trolls can play the game? )

[flowerwhisperer]

You do not think you are actually being very brave. In fact, you kind of figure you're actually being kind of an asshole, considering you are only trying to save people you feel don't deserve dying.

urm
twe|ve maximum
and there are four p|ayers remaining, myse|f inc|uded
i'm going to try and recruit more peop|e

[elaphaea]

You're actually a little bit hurt that all this was going on and Kaprao never told you.

But you don't say anything, and you try not to be very hurt. Things are difficult enough, and he's already doing so much; you don't want to pressure him or make him feel bad...

( so few trolls... )
( so there's you, and AA, and AT, who i don't know... and one other? )
( who else were you thinking of contacting, besides me? and... are you absolutely certain that that's the most we can take? )

Not that you actually know very many trolls, yourself. And a part of you can't help but be a bit nervous at the prospect of trolls you don't know, who are probably violent jerks — but you shouldn't judge them for that! They're better trolls than you are, after all.

[flowerwhisperer]

You didn't exactly have a choice in the matter, to be honest.

i was going to contact misguidedProtector, careeringCartographer, apiaryCryptonaut and ga|axyCigarette

iiiiii am the queen of backtaaagsssss

[elaphaea]

( oh... ah... okay. )
( i'm familiar with cc, ac, and gc; they're all very kind... and i'm sure if you trust mp, then they're a good troll to have around... )

( are you sure there's no one else you can think of? )
( we should absolutely do our best to save everyone we can... )
