[OPEN] KOMESH: PANIC

[absentultima]

Panic is something you can definitely do. In fact you have been doing that since Chrysi told you that THE WORLD IS ENDING, according to Merzet. It corroborates with Merzet's distress earlier and you have no reason to doubt either of them. This is COMPLETELY TERRIFYING, though you feel like you might have FORGOTTEN SOMETHING in your sheer panic.

Your hive is a little bit of a mess from your outburst, and part of your precious pile of pretty stones is on the other side of the room. You throw another at the wall just for good measure, because the computer isn't turning on quickly enough for your tastes and it's better than destroying something that can't just be put back in its place later.

You need to talk with Eric and Sparks and Nikkal and you need to talk with them all NOW. Who knows when this ending is going to go down? What if they're already-- Oh god, you're definitely panicking. You can't even focus enough to decide who to contact first. This is not a good day! How will you even say what you need to say?!

Oh, trollian finally started up.
