Hey @interdimensionalburnout your absolutely necessary suggestion that was the basic premise of this whole plan won me my own plane of reality and a lot more breathing room, I owe you several. Pick a type of candy you can't go wrong with. I'll go wild. And then also let me know whatever you would /actually/ find useful.

Is the burnout in your name the same way I feel after I'm being rushed through what feels like years worth of experiences within the span of seconds only because I'm too stupid to figure out how to do a better way?

Also no it is not that kind of multitool my bad name's Jamie.

You'll never believe this, but the outcome was decent this time. Maybe even favorable.

@interdimensionalburnout ♥'d for a starter!

"Hey! Kid! Do you always dream in flashbacks like this? This isn't a complaint; I'm just curious! If you do, that's pretty cool for me! Memories are fun to dive through!"

they weren't very good memories, but that didn't matter in the slightest. memories were memories, and memories contained secrets and information... not just on the person, but on the world they were from...

this was fun for him.

@interdimensionalburnout can you tell me what the fuck this is

[creepy-crowleys]

Now Honestly, if you weren't held hostage by your employers, how much collateral would you accept to bring them down?

Now Honestly…

I’m not… The situation isn’t that bad. It isn’t like I’m not allowed to leave or anything.

I’m not interested in ‘collateral.’

If I did accept, then what? My employers are one leg of a few propping up a broken system. We’d just end up caught between the other players rushing in to fill the void and not being strong enough to hold off the bigger threats on the board.

Beyond whatever threats they make, my employers need to exist. I can’t do any of this on my own, and none of the other powers in play are any more likely to treat me any better.

I’m better off with them than without.

[Delivery! An ask arrives, reads as follows: "To receive your de-cursified (and non-sentient) gauntlet, first turn your screen brightness all the way up, and press [THIS] button!"

[> What arrives when the button is pressed, is a floating box, conjured by flecks of light emerging from the screen. Tiny cubes, pixels that form mass from light, emerge from the extra-bright screen, forming the gift-wrapped box atom-by-atom. It's a metal box, lined on the inside with the rough-cut padding of some old coat; the box itself is wrapped in silver wrapping paper and tied-off with a dark-blue bow.

[>Inside the box, the Gauntlet has been returned, unchanged physically, but the air about is lighter, the freezing chill reduced to a minor cold that puts a bit condensation across its shimmering surface, like can of cola pulled from the fridge. The glove itself feels lighter, and causes no more pain to wear, no compulsion to wield. A note is written, from Maria, that reads:

[> "So we ripped the curse out of it real clean like and kept it as a kind of informal payment for services we otherwise would've rendered for freesies. I tested it myself, post curse-extraction. Thing's ahhhh pretty nice. Wish I had a soioa mold, or something that could make mirrored duplicates of weapons and gear- this thing would be insane with as a matched pair. Enjoy-" the note is signed "M, B, and Y," and is written on yellowed but fancy stationary, poorly folded and crammed between the liner and the box to keep it from getting wet.

[After their first morning class, Madison Rook checks their messages in an empty classroom, still sitting behind the front desk with their recently turned-in to-be-graded classwork. They certainly haven't been looking forward to this, so it's particularly nice to observe the ask heralding the arrival of something they /have/ been deeply anticipating.

Clearing off an area of the desk, they summon the item, a fascinating manifestation to watch, arriving as a container more ornamented than they'd expected. Quite lovely, though; if this were a different scenario, they might tip for the aesthetically additional service.

The tiefling's eyes glitter as they land on the gauntlet inside the box, lid set carefully aside. Before touching anything, Rook runs a quick scan of a distanced Identify; they entirely trust the de-cursing to be complete, but it doesn't hurt to ensure every positive trait remained intact. Seemingly they have, and as Rook scans the tucked-away note, sharp fingers drumming against the paper, they nod to themselves. A job well done. These expert crafters in question sure did add "ahhhh" in writing to the note. The offside comment at the end of the note certainly gives them some inspiration, but that's to work on later.

Picking the gauntlet up gently, Rook slides it on over their thin black glove, the freezing aura emanating from the inside now a gentle chill. Perfect. The obsessed arcanist's pulse can't help but pound in their chest as they think of all the magic and art they can create with this newly harmless artifact. It's great that the others had removed the curse to keep, but Rook still intends to owe them a favor. At the bare minimum, they owe a thank you note, and pick up a piece of their own stationary with which to begin such a task.]

@interdimensionalburnout replied to your post “SPILLLL ITTTT”:

speaking from experience it aint worth it

​I know it isn't. I know. That is why I keep mulling it about in my mind, but not acting on it. But I think about it, wondering if maybe, maybe something will change...

[sugarstarlights]

..Wait, /have/ I seen several versions of this person's alternates' blog or is my memory just so bad that I've been going through cycles of feeling like I'm meeting them for the first time. Parts of the last few years are a blur and that in particular has not remained the clearest sequence of events. Time is fake, guys.

@interdimensionalburnout replied to your post “writes you a poem so abstract it’s nonsense”:

Still felt something reading it! Good poem!

​thank youuuuuuu

im gonna be so for real the words were chosen at random. (by which i mean specifically the end-line words, not all of them.) that's how i like to do this specific poetic form. i just grab some words and start playing.

@interdimensionalburnout

Jesus. Uh. Is everyone okay?

[sugarstarlights]

Well I can cancel your unfortunate jinx with an Angel Blessing so I'll be crossing my fingers for your 43rd run. Geez that sure is several attempts though huh. It's so cozy though! I really appreciate that, Berri, coming from you it sure is an ego boost and I'm genuinely touched. 💜 Not that I'm in desperate need these days, I do try to believe I deserve it. I have a lot of help with that.

No way dont worry about my antics they literally just got unwritten by the reset, and I already jinxed the last run by saying I wont NEED to do another so the odds are still strong that I'm gonna have to do this a 44th time lmao.

But holy crap that sounds so cozy. I'm really happy for you, mads, i cant think of many people who deserve a happy life like you do. You and your boo deserve it, you know?

Hello. You are my second follower. Luckily, I don't believe in the phrase "second is the first to lose." So you're just as valuable as the first, to me.
