My sister asked me for a characterization question what conspiracy theories (if any) they actually believe, and I've been mulling it over, and thoughts are as follows:

Elliott: a lot of them. I think you could probably talk him into most paranormal/supernatural entities existing, because he and ACD are shaking hands on being fooled by Houdini and little girls with paper fairies, but also and much to the chagrin and vexation of those around him, he is 100% sure hay-fever is NONSENSE

Warren: I feel like she has SO many theories about the Surface and how things work up there compared to the Neath. First thought was that cats there can talk, too, they just choose not to because no one's earned it yet

Arthur: ghosts, for sure. When you see a bug or a shadow out of the corner of your eye and turn and nothing is there? ghost. undeniable proof and he won't tolerate slander on the topic

Florence: Loch Ness Monster truther. She KNOWS it's real and is out there, just fucking. Lurking!! she makes no bones about it, it's definitely for real

Surgeon: he wouldn't classify it as a superstition or as anything other than completely normal, but he's somebody who Has to do things in the same order every time or else the routine is thrown off then something will Happen

Bolormaa: big into shagai and other fortune telling, and, despite claiming to think it's nonsense, you could definitely find him at a seance, "just to check it out"

Rhoda: ghosts. Hands down, ghosts are real. She will not admit to thinking this, but she is deeply convinced that ghosts are real and you definitely have to remain on their good side and leave little offerings (completely outside and separate from any religious offerings or obligations)

@ resident meme expert Hallie: The apples I bought have very little taste. They're not rotten or anything but they're still low quality. Can I still call them Bad?

"Sounds pretty bad to me. Though I think the Bad Apple is bad as in evil, not just bland."

"You think?"

"The song's in Japanese, I don't actually know the lyrics."

"You have got to get on those lessons."

[elakha-house-cube]

Hey Hallie, ready to give your dad another beatdown?

"Not in this timeline!!"

"Sure, but it's not happening in this timeline. That request was obviously meant for you in the Maris timeline where this is a thing that's happening."

She makes a fair point. Let's connect to the Hallie of that timeline real quick...

Connecting... Transmitting... Receiving... Server response: 418 I'm a teapot

... I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this isn't it.

"How is this worse than all the dark ride stuff?"

☹️

[elakha-house-cube]

Periodic OC fact, while "the tradition" is to refer to the Bazaar with she/her pronouns if you are male and he/him pronouns if you are female, Inessa refers to it with she/her, because I interpret "the tradition" as meaning to view it as the gender one is most attracted to.

meanwhile i refer to them inconsistently, because i'm just an inconsistent person. the creditor would hate me, probably

[elakha-house-cube]

Hallie, any songs you like to dance to? I had a hard time coming up with meme songs because I live under a rock :<

"Sadly I don't think even ΧMÆR∀ would have Perfected Fight Money."

"Isn't that just an edit of Kimono Princess?"

"Yeah, but the original isn't a meme. ... still a banger, though.

"But Planet of the Bass is unironically a banger in addition to being a huge meme."

[elakha-house-cube]

Skyward!Hitomi I'd say good luck, but let's be real, it'll probably be a piece of cake for you

"Oh, is this related to the other ask?"

No, Kira writes Maris Stella, the one where you have a Miraculous.

"Ah. ... Well, I guess I'll see which battle is shorter, then. Or. I guess I won't, since the other one is an alternate universe?"

Nah, this is a cube, you're aware of whichever timelines I feel like making you aware of at any given moment.

"That sounds like an existential nightmare."

[elakha-house-cube]

Marisverse: Hallie, Hitomi, big things are bout to happen, get ready!

"Hm. Don't like the sound of that!"

I should probably actually catch up on those last two chapters already, huh.

"You still haven't read them? I can't believe you don't even know about the thing!"

Look, you can try all you want, but I physically can't write you taunting me with information I don't have.

"Oh yeah, that's definitely the words of someone who doesn't know."

[elakha-house-cube]

Daren, anything to say to your colleagues now that they know the Produgious is real

"I told you! I fucking told you! Why didn't you just listen to me, for once?! Now I've lost it all..."

[elakha-house-cube]

[elakha-house-cube]

Astra, Leaf, do you ever exchange adventuring tips when you hang out in the cube?

Astra's not here right now on account of... I kinda fell out of Terraria a bit. But the mind virus will inevitably come back, and when it does so will she.

And I'm sure she'll like Leaf. =)

... honestly, looking at my notes I can feel the mind virus already wanting to take hold. Astra might be back sooner than expected.

[elakha-house-cube]

So what did Daren do with his wife's body? I assume that keeping her preserved in a glass coffin is out of his budget

He didn't go completely off the rails until she had already been dead for a bit, so when it was time to make that decision he was still reasonable enough to follow her wishes.

..... whiiiiich I'm not sure what they are. Maybe she'd like the thing where you plant a tree over the grave. Did I mention anything in ERAH, actually? I don't think I did, but you know how my memory is.

[elakha-house-cube]

Daren, what was your idea (if any) after wishing your wife back? Did you want to keep the Miraculous? If yes, what would be your next step? And if no, who you think would make for a good Holder for them?

"Uhh... I didn't really care what happened to the magic jewels after that. I kinda thought they'd scatter to the winds like in Dragon Ball. But if they didn't I guess Emilia and Hallie could wield them. They'd deserve it."

the long overdue "the fallen london characters on this multimuse blog" post

It's mostly Inessa. She's my main FL blorbo. She likes to do science. This mostly involves making very bad decisions to see what happens. But she writes it down, and that makes it science!

Those who've been paying attention may have observed that Inessa has a headmate. He doesn't have a name, he's just filled with exasperation. He wants Inessa to explode fewer things when she does science. Or at least a more carefully-selected set of things.

Lucky, my recurring cat OC, is also in the Neath. He's not specific to FL but he is here. Behold cat. He fuzzy.

I also put Lila Rossi from Miraculous in here mostly as a gag on that she would probably be really good at Hearts' Game. But I also put her through Nemesis which means I have to make up a dead OC brother for her. More details TBA maybe.

Oh, right, the webcomic time thing. We were responding to that based on when the ask was sent.

"It could have been implausibly prescient advice based on future vision!"

"Why would Maris need that, especially an entire year before the game even existed?"

"No idea, the Lucky Charm works in mysterious ways."

Maris to Hallie: Soooo uhhh, Lucky Charm just gave me a candy cane. Not sure what that means. I might need Tigris? Maybe? Please remain on stand by if possible

"It's possible. Needs more candy canes, and all that. Or it could be pointing you to actual candy. Magic is mysterious that way."
