AVISPA: Cease puzzling nightmares, yes.

All things considered, things are going great! You've successfully prototyped your sprite once, your lusus is still alive and protected in your hive, you have more puzzles than you could ever ask for, and you'd finally decided to rest. After some planning, you'd decided that some exploration of LOSAR was in order and after plotting out a path, a plan, and preparing back-up plans for your plan the only remaining thing to do was to sleep.

So you slept. That was your first mistake.

Your eyes opened to neither the golden, bright moon you'd heard about nor the darkened, twilight moon. Instead, you are somewhere you'd never imagined even in your wildest dreams. Bright, blue skies with fluffy white clouds. You stand before an endless, clean landscape of white and black with green trees. You've never, ever laid eyes on living trees, though as awing as they are the skies above draw your eyes to them and don't allow you to look away.

That was your second mistake.

You'd only seen clear, blue skies for only a few moments twice before, when the darkened clouds you were so familiar with parted for only a moment. But the clouds here were fascinating, amazing, and... there... was something in them. You couldn't tear your eyes away, especially when the blur of a troll appeared.

That was your third mistake.

The troll hopped around, making short work of what you assumed to be Imps. She was using her arms, no, her sleeves as weapons to utterly decimate her foes. There was something familiar, something that made you think you knew her but you just couldn't place it. Sleeves for weapons, crescent horns, no glasses, and a very, very rage-driven fighting style. As you watched, you were paying so much attention to the clouds that you don't watch where you're going...

That was your fourth mistake.

You sit bolt upright, woken pre-emptively from your slumber, and the very first thing you do is open a memo. This was puzzling.


-- apiaryCryptonaut [AC] RIGHT NOW opened memo that dream was scary! --

AC: I h4d 4 very... puzzling 4nd confusing dre4m!
AC: It w4sn't on the... um, wh4t were the... n4mes of the moons.
AC: Um um um um
AC: I know them I... just c4n't remember, no.
AC: Oh, um, Prospit, yes!
AC: 4nd um, I think... the other one was... Derse, m4ybe, yes yes!
AC: Um, I'm very very... very very confused, yes.
AC: Bec4use, um, I dre4med... 4nd it w4sn't 4t... 4ll wh4t I thought... I w4s expecting, no!
AC: There were trees, yes!
AC: Living, green, t4ll trees!
AC: I've never seen trees... 4ll green like th4t!
AC: They were re4lly, re4lly... re4lly, re4lly pretty, yes!
AC: OH! 4nd I s4w... 4 troll, but I... don't know who it... w4s, not 4t 4ll.
AC: But she h4d, um... clothing, sort of, um... on her 4rms, yes!
AC: 4nd she w4s super... strong 4nd be4ting up... 4 lot of imps!
AC: It w4s 4 dre4m... within my own dre4m!

oh!!
sorry, mIsunderstAndIng..
ActuAlly

dIfferent AlIen specIes sorry, nothIng to do wIth the moonfolk
Also, not pArtIculArly shelled
humAns Are pretty squIshy In All
And not reAlly monochrome

oh my god i wrote a response almost a week ago where did it go

[personal profile] defensivealchemist 2013-01-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
youre almo5t too agreea6le
only one out of three of the de5criptor5 i u5ed and you 5aid ye5
5o you are an alien
6ut not a carapace alien
a human
not 5he11ed
> not monochrome -< whatever that mean5
and youre a player in a different 5e55ion of the game
=:|
that doe5nt even make 5en5e
what are the chance5 of meteor5 de5troying two different planet5 at the 5ame time
twintimes: (Default)

I have no idea but this one works!

[personal profile] twintimes 2013-01-10 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
not A cArApAce AlIen And neIther from derse nor prospIt
I fIgured before you Assume I'm A blAck-shelled AlIen I'd rule thAt out too
As fAr As I know neIther of those ActuAlly even know About the gAme lIke we do
let Alone plAy It
I've never seen suffIcIent technology on prospIt but grAnted I wAsn't lookIng All thAt thoroughly
but I'm gettIng off trAck here
no It doesn't mAke much sense
neIther does the fAct thAt we're evidently from completely dIfferent cultures And stIll somehow communIcAte vIA some chAt clIent
defensivealchemist: up and down (Default)

but in the first one durian angrily demanded to know if ria knew what nazis were

[personal profile] defensivealchemist 2013-01-10 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
you already e5ta6li5hed that you dont have a 5he11
i appreciate that youre 6eing clear a6out it now though
...
communication over our chat client5 doe5nt 5urpri5e me
i think ive talked with an adult or two on tro11ian
5o may6e a 5hip i5 clo5e enough to your planet for you to piggy6ack on their communication 5y5tem5
with 5ufficient programming it could even 6e tran5lating for u5
i wouldnt 5wear to that idea though
i havent thought of any 5ufficient explanation for why we have meteor5 or tho5e dream5 in common =:/
twintimes: (Default)

l m a o beautiful. Oh well.

[personal profile] twintimes 2013-01-10 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how much sense It would mAke for A chAt clIent thAt should be hooked up to the eArth-wIde network bAsed on eArth technology to pIggybAck on AnythIng It's not supposed to
especIAlly If It's, y'know, AlIen
but I'm not thAt good wIth technology AnywAy so who knows
so do you hAve An explAnAtIon for how we both hAve the gAme yet?
becAuse AppArently one of you guys mAde It but someone wholly else creAted It here??
defensivealchemist: up and down (Default)

:'( i shed a tear for the loss of that moment

[personal profile] defensivealchemist 2013-01-10 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
it could if our fleet i5 eave5dropping on your planet5 communication5
6ut they wouldnt hook it up with our tro11ian
5ome of u5 are pretty 5tupid
wed ju5t 6e giving you information too
5o i dont know
it doe5nt make 5en5e
=:o
are you 5ure they didnt ju5t copy the file5 from our people?
twintimes: (Default)

And now I did too, it really is quite the tragedy.

[personal profile] twintimes 2013-01-11 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
see, so thAt explAnAtIon Is full of holes AlreAdy
I don't know where the gAme cAme from but wouldn't It Imply the communIcAtIon wAs somehow prevIously estAblIshed?? And In thAt cAse, why would Any of you gIve the gAme to us If nobody knew we'd need It to survIve??

defensivealchemist: up and down (Default)

ria why so critical of his theory, don't you know only trolls could come up with this solution?

[personal profile] defensivealchemist 2013-01-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
how long ago did you fir5t me55age me
communication ha5 6een open at lea5t that long
...
i dont know
you figure it out
a5k the earlie5t people in your chain who ha5 it
if theyre even 5ti11 alive
twintimes: (Default)

she will just continue to throw logic at it and hoping something will make sense.

[personal profile] twintimes 2013-01-12 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know
A whIle Ago
I'm not sure you were the fIrst troll I tAlked to eIther
....
I suppose I'll Ask chrysI, then
or mAybe cherIour
we'll see If they've got AnythIng..
defensivealchemist: up and down (Default)

it probably won't, but good luck to her

[personal profile] defensivealchemist 2013-01-15 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
youre not the fir5t to claim to 6e an alien to me
doe5 >- year -< mean anything to you
they 5hould
the fir5t per5on in the game 5hould know where the file came from
if they dont then theyre 5tupid for in5ta11ing a my5teriou5 file

and try again
