[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.

absentUltima has signed on.

WE'LL BE A HUGGING FAMILY OR SOMETHING
THAT SOUNDS ALREADY SO GREAT

[absentultima]

<>

[appleful]

YEAH THAT'D BE GREAT
I REALLY HOPE TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH HIM
oh right have you made any new friends lately

[absentultima]

i've /\/\et s0/\/\e pe0ple th∧t i'/\/\ civil with?
friendship is c0nfusing.

[appleful]

no it's not
see how easy it is between us
but i'm glad maybe you'll be soon friends with them

[absentultima]

i'/\/\ gl∧d y0u're s0 c0nfident.
/\/\∧ybe friendship isn't ∧s c0nfusing ∧s qu∧dr∧nts but it is.
i'/\/\ never sure wh∧t ex∧ctly t0 d0 with either.
it's y0u th∧t /\/\∧kes 0ur /\/\0ir∧llegi∧nce s0 e∧sy, eric.
<>

[appleful]

i'm always confident that's just how i roll
do you mean quadrants or hydrants
heh heh heh heh heh no it's easy because we like each other right
if you two people like each other everything works out by itself
<>

[absentultima]

i think y0u /\/\ight be right.
it is w0rking 0ut. <>
∧nd i /\/\e∧nt qu∧dr∧nts.
i guess y0ur uncle didn't tell y0u ∧b0ut the/\/\?
/\/\0ir∧llegi∧nce is 0ne 0f the f0ur.
the 0thers ∧re he∧rts: /\/\∧tespritship, sp∧des: kis/\/\essisitude, ∧nd clubs ∧uspistism.

[appleful]

no he never told me of them
are they very important
that's funny the signs for them are like the card symbols

[absentultima]

they're very i/\/\p0rt∧nt!
with0ut th0se f0ur kinds 0f r0/\/\∧nce, s0ciety w0uld f∧ll ∧p∧rt.
i guess i sh0uld expl∧in but i'/\/\ n0t sure where t0 st∞rt. u/\/\.

[appleful]

wait i thought there are only 3 kinds of romance
like being friends or hating each other or being in love with each other
what's left hten

[absentultima]

i ∧ssu/\/\e by friends y0u /\/\e∧n /\/\0ir∧llegi∧nce.
there's ∧ difference, between just friends ∧nd /\/\0ir∧ils.
but yes, y0u're right.
just ∧uspistis/\/\ left.
th∧t 0ne is re∧lly co/\/\plic∧ted.
b∧sic∧lly, it's s0/\/\e0ne stepping in t0 keep pe0ple wh0 ∧ren't g00d f0r e∧ch 0ther fr0/\/\ trying ∧ rel∧ti0nship th∧t w0uld hurt the/\/\ ∧nd their qu∧dr∧nt/\/\∧tes.
the ∧uspistice keeps the 0ther tw0 fr0/\/\ getting int0 destructive r0/\/\∧nce.

[appleful]

yeah moirails are like very important super hyper friends right
so auspistism is like good cockblocking
okay i got this
doesn't sound so complicated to me

[absentultima]

u/\/\, /\/\∧ybe?
i've never he∧rd it defined like th∧t, but i guess.
friendship isn't ∧ r0/\/\∧nce th0ugh.
∧nd it c∧n be very c0/\/\plic∧ted!
∧n ∧uspistice h∧s t0 be ∧ble t0 see the difference between he∧lthy ∧nd unhe∧lthy rel∧ti0nships, ℙnd be ∧ble t0 successfully st0p the/\/\ devel0ping.

[appleful]

being an auspistice sounds difficult though
i think being a relationship meddler is tiresome
but that's maybe because i'm more of a friendship person
oh and a moirail person heh heh heh heh heh
when i say moirail takes friendship to a whole new level is that right

[absentultima]

u/\/\ yes?
i d0n't kn0w if i'/\/\ expl∧ining right.

0h!
d0 y0u like n0vels?
i h∧ve 0ne th∧t illustr∧tes /\/\0ir∧llegi∧nce very well.
it's ∧ little dr∧/\/\∧tic but it c0vers ℙll the i/\/\p0rt∧nt p∧ts.
i c0uld send y0u the pdf 0f it!
/\/\∧ybe th∧t w0uld help y0u underst∞nd better.

absentUltima is trying to send In_which_a_noble_highblood_falls_into_deepest_pale_throes_with_a_soft-spoken_and_clever_lowblood_and_they_must_face_many_trials_to_be_together_including_a_midblood_seeking_the_same_quadrant_culling_attempts_and_blackrom_used_as_a_tool_of_manipulation.pdf

yes, Komesh share your romantic novels with everyone

[appleful]

whoa
that's a long title man
BUT I'LL DEFINITELY READ IT
MAYBE IT'LL HELP ME TO BE A EVEN BETTER MOIRAIL PAL

and then Eric can share them with everyone he doesn't

[absentultima]

re∧lly? i th0ught it w∧s sh0rt.
i h0pe y0u like it!
the sh00shing ∧t the end is especi∧lly w0nderful.

it'll be famous among the scrib players

[appleful]

OH NOW I'M ALL EXCITED
but question
what's a midblood
i can make out what's highblood and lowblood i think
but not midblood
shouldn't it be normal blood or something

[absentultima]

they're kind 0f in the /\/\iddle 0f every0ne?
i d0n't kn0w h0w better t0 expl∧in it.
th∧t's why they're c∧lled /\/\idbl00ds, ∧nyw∧y, bec∧use they're right in the /\/\iddle 0f s0ciety.

[appleful]

in the middle of society
sounds sorta stupid to call them midbloods then
i wouldn't want to be referred to somethingblood
wait
someone called my highblood once
what does that make you

[absentultima]

i'/\/\ ∧ highbl00d.
u/\/\, except /\/\y /\/\ut∧ti0n c0/\/\plic∧tes things ∧ little.
i d0n't re∧lly fit in ∧nywhere.
