==> Lyndis: Be productive.
Well, it took awhile, but once you stopped FLIPPING BULGES and distracting yourself from your WEIRD TIME SHIT with a lot of GRIST GRINDING and ALCHEMIZING WAY TOO MUCH STUFF, you finally started actually BEING PRODUCTIVE. The grinding allowed you to GAIN SOME LEVELS, which as far as you can tell is just a DUMB NICKNAME SYSTEM that gives you periodic infusions of BOONDOLLARS, but you assume it will be useful at some point. (What kind of game doesn't require you to get ALL THE LEVELS? But REAL LIFE doesn't have ABILITIES measured in NUMERIC STATISTICS that are increased upon LEVEL UP, so you're not actually sure how this is helping you.) More to the point, YOUR SERVER PLAYER has had enough grist to build up your CLIFF to the FIRST GATE - which was EASIER THAN IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN, since, you know, cliffs tend to be NATURALLY HIGH TO START WITH.
You went through it A LITTLE WHILE AGO, which accomplished NOTHING OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE except getting you kind of LOST. It's just as well there are plenty of CAVES on your planet, and also that you ALWAYS CAPTCHALOGUE YOUR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS before you go anywhere; you haven't left ANYTHING back at your CAVE except, well, MEMORIES OF A SENTIMENTAL NATURE you would NEVER ADMIT to having. You're pretty sure you can ACTUALLY SEE THE FIRST GATE way off in the distance whenever you are AT THE TOP OF ANOTHER CLIFF, since there is A HUGE AND EASILY VISIBLE STRUCTURE leading up to it; part of you wants to head RIGHT BACK THERE, but as of yet you HAVEN'T GIVEN INTO THE TEMPTATION. You swore you were going to PROGRESS in this game, dammit, you can't just go RUNNING HOME LIKE A HIVESICK WIGGLER.
That, and you CAN'T ACTUALLY SEE IT ANYMORE, thanks to a bunch of FUCKING INEXPLICABLE STATIC that seems to be LOCALIZED TO YOU; no matter where you go, your FIELD OF VISION seems to cut off into A BUNCH OF SHITTY STATIC WHITE NOISE about THIRTY FEET AWAY in every direction. It is SO FUCKING ANNOYING and it honestly makes wandering around KIND OF IMPOSSIBLE AND DANGEROUS.
You are currently holed up in ANOTHER CAVE; it beats FRYING under your planet's godforsaken SUN(the light of which is COMPLETELY UNAFFECTED BY THE STATIC, dammit). It isn't as fierce as the sun on ALTERNIA, at least in that it doesn't CAUSE YOU ACTUAL BODILY HARM to be out in it, but it's still FUCKING UNPLEASANT. No wonder your quest involves BRINGING SOME GODDAMN SHADE in ways you are still COMPLETELY UNCLEAR ON. From what you've gathered, you're supposed to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUN ITSELF - but that's COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. How the fuck could you do something like that?
But you're getting DISTRACTED. You've got a PURPOSE right now, as much because you're not sure HOW TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR PLANET QUEST and whether or not you should be working toward your SECOND GATE or STAYING PUT to meet up with other players as because THIS IS IMPORTANT SHIT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAILED DOWN A LONG TIME AGO.
To that end, you OPEN A MEMO.
-- artfulTransgressor [AT] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board so done with playing blind. --
AT: alright so
AT: dunno how many of you actually open your sponge clots when cs is talking
AT: i wouldnt really blame you if you just sort of let that shit wash oVer you without bothering to process any of it
AT: but belieVe it or not he actually had something important to say about sequences a memo or two back
AT: specifically that all our planets may be connected through our gates
AT: probably just through our own indiVidual sessions but honestly who the fuck knows at this point
AT: but he also said that despite working out there is a sequence
AT: he has no fucking idea what the sequence is
AT: or eVen who is in what session
AT: and you know who else doesnt know
AT: me
AT: i kinda wonder if ANYBODY fucking knows
AT: this memo is to remedy that shit right now
AT: so
AT: lets get this shit sorted out
AT: i want you
AT: no matter who the fuck you are eVen if weVe neVer talked
AT: or eVen if you cannot fucking stand me
AT: put your hands down kids
AT: to sound off here
AT: i want you to giVe your name
AT: along with who your serVer and client players are
AT: i dont care if your serVer and client haVe already spoken up by the way
AT: you damn well sound off anyway
AT: this is as much to get people straight as sequences
AT: and it gets eVeryone checking in
AT: if we get eVeryone to do this then we should be able to figure out the sequences
AT: along with how many sessions weVe got here
AT: and once weVe got the sequences and sessions straight maybe we can come up with some kinda plan
AT: ill eVen set up a format
AT: its gonna be serVer - you - client
AT: so in my case kaprao - lyn - zirreh
AT: as far as i know the three of us are all part of the original session phaest started
AT: were gonna call that the alpha session for claritys sake
AT: i know theres another troll session that sorta squeezed in
AT: well call that beta
AT: and so on down the line if theres more i honestly dont know at this point
AT: theres a human session as well i know that much
AT: theyre just gonna be the human session
AT: if theres more than one of their sessions too i guess well figure out names
AT: but does eVeryone get the idea of what were trying to figure out here
AT: good
AT: now sound off

We 4ll le4rned differently.
Which m4kes 4ll of... us very different, yes.
4nd we m4y not... underst4nd everyone else, no.
Bec4use some others 4re... very complex puzzles themselves.
But sometimes we c4n.
4nd eventu4lly we'll 4ll... underst4nd, we will, yes.
I'll underst4nd slowly, Lyn.
One thing 4t 4... time, you'll see, yes.
Don't worry, no, ple4se?
4nd I'm not humoring... you, Lyn, no, um.
I underst4nd it, th4t's... 4ll, don't worry, no.
Th4t's wh4t I did.
no subject
patience has neVer exactly been a thing im good at though
also humoring me wouldnt actually be a bad thing
especially since youd haVe to understand the concept to do it
so you understanding wasnt something i was calling into question
but it does make it feel less like i was completely wasting my time
so thanks
no subject
M4ybe you c4n try... something to help th4t?
Like solving 4 puzzle?
To distr4ct yourself, m4ybe?
4nd um, oh, then... I w4s humoring you!
M4ybe, um, I think.
But yes, you weren't... w4sting your time, no!
no subject
distract myself from what
being impatient?
thats not exactly how impatience works
thats honestly all i need to know
iVe neVer actually had the chance to make a difference in anything before this game
except
well
in other games i guess
but not games like this that actually matter
just Video games that dont mean anything outside themselVes
i dunno if i wouldVe eVer chosen to do something like this
where the things people do can literally be matters of life and death
for themselVes and other people
but if any of us want to surViVe we all actually haVe to do things that will be important in the long run
and i guess before now i didnt know what it felt like for the things you do to actually be important
or how fucking useless and helpless you can feel when you know you NEED to do useful helpful things and it doesnt seem like youre able to do anything at all
no subject
It couldn't hurt to... m4ybe try, I think!
4nd, yes, ex4ctly, Lyn!
Th4t's something you le4rned!
4nd now you know... to remember, to win!
But you're not 4lone!
We're 4ll in this... g4me together, we 4re!
You're 4ble to do... things yourself too, 4bsolutely!
But you c4n 4lso... do things with everyone!
So we c4n win!
no subject
since my aspect is time
but i dunno if the games message is for me to slow my roll
or if its giVing me the tools to fast forward shit to be more my speed
or at least potentially giVing me said tools
i honestly cant do much with it yet
i guess
youre way more optimistic than i am though
iVe been swearing up and down im not gonna fucking die here
but mostly i just mean im gonna do whateVer i can to make sure that doesnt happen
but it wouldnt honestly surprise me in the least if nothing i do matters in the end and we all die anyway
no subject
Even if you c4n't... use it yet, m4ybe.
You c4n 4lw4ys le4rn!
No no no no!!!!
We're not going to... die 4t the end!
4bsolutely not, no, Lyn!
Honestly you were momentarily tempted to bop him with a pillow or something if he'd been near you in-person. Why would he say that!
We're 4bsolutely not going... to die in this... g4me, none of us!
Or, um, no more... of us, no, um.
We're going to try... to m4ke it out!
4ll of us together!
Wh4t we're doing m4tters!
