[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.

[appleful]

YEAH THAT'D BE PRETTY AWESOME
I NEED TO ASK MY UNCLE LATER IF HE CAN ORGANIZE THAT FOR ME

[absentultima]

gre∧t!
but wh∧t's ∧n uncle?

[appleful]

sometimes i wonder why you don't know such simple stuff
but it's okay i explain!!!!!
my uncle is my parent
i don't have a papa or a mama so he's both for me
and he's the coolest grown-up ever

[absentultima]

s0 y0u're ∧n 0rph∧n r∧ised by ∧n ∧dult t00.
i'/\/\ gl∧d th∧t he see/\/\s t0 h∧ve r∧ised y0u /\/\0stly 0k∧y th0ugh.

[appleful]

huh
i think it's pretty normal to be raised by an adult
isn't that some form of law
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOSTLY OKAY
HE'S GAVE HIS BEST AND NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG

[absentultima]

i'/\/\ s0rry.
i'/\/\ sure he's excellent.
just.
i've never /\/\et ∧ny0ne r∧ised by ∧n ∧dult bef0re.
i've never even +seen+ ∧n ∧dult.
it's just re∧lly, re∧lly str∧nge t0 think 0f s0/\/\e0ne n0t r∧ised by their lusus.
i w∧s t∧ught th∧t th∧t w∧s n0r/\/\∧l.

[appleful]

how can you never have met an adult
surely you live on an island but there must be grown-ups on the mainland everywhere
a lusus can't raise you
you're not mowgli are you
is your lusus a wolf

[absentultima]

∧dults get t∧ken ∧w∧y by the /\/\ilit∧ry.
i'll get t∧ken ∧w∧y s00n t00.
∧nd he t∧kes very g00d c∧re 0f /\/\e.
he brings /\/\e fish still, even th0ugh i've been hunting 0n /\/\y 0wn f0r sweeps.
he's n0t a w0lf th0ugh.
he's ∧ tw0-be∧ked flipperbe∧st.

THAT'S DEFINITELY A GOOD PLAN
MY UNCLE WILL BE UP FOR IT TOO

[absentultima]
