un: UTA - 10/30

[tot]

Congratulations on your victory everyone!

Thank you Macha. Thank you Tarvos. I will never forget the two of you. However, you all must realize, Death is certain for the born. Rebirth is certain for the dead.

You should not grieve for what is unavoidable; in dying you will be reborn and given a new life.

I'll be waiting for you.

ΔHidden Forbidden Dead Wood.

( uta will not be responding to this post or to any messages via her inbox marked after 10/30 (but feel free to spam the fuck out of it and this post to make me regret my life choices). players won't be able to find uta within the game despite appearing online and available. for any and all who warp to the aforementioned area before the next announcement will also not be able to find her nor will they see anything different/out of the ordinary about the area.

see you all on the flip side ♥ )

Paly you're giving me a stress headache I genuinely thought when you turned into a big boss fight monster you were gonna be for real dead

[gluttoning]

Oh. Sorry.

I don't know what else to tell you, though. I though I was dead, too. Or, I guess, Tarvos thought that.

[conjecturecycle]

I'm trying to figure out how any of this was coded the way it apparently was. I guess they could do this with a state machine I just don't see why it'd even be a feature.

Unless this was a glitch and you weren't supposed to pull a boss instance as a state in the first place.

[gluttoning]

I don't know what any of that means.

[conjecturecycle]

yeah sorry I'm just kinda talk-typing? out loud I guess. Even if you did understand it's not like you'd know the answer.

You don't like, remember anything you did to trigger it, right?

[gluttoning]

No. I didn't realize I was changing at all until I started feeling angry all the time.



Though, I guess there could be one thing.

But I don't know if it would explain what happened to Mithrun.

[conjecturecycle]

Tell me anyway, one potentially wrong theory is better than no theories at all.

[gluttoning]

Lily gave some of us special cores. I think it's how I use my bracelet. But they're not the same as what people got from Zelkova. I think Swallow said theirs were "Strange Cores"? Ours aren't.

Mithrun doesn't have a bracelet, though. I don't even know if he has a core like that. So I don't know if it means anything.

[tablescraps]

1) Stop calling him Lily.

2) What core did he give you.

cubia's overwriting people's personalities, too.

that kind of capability shouldn't have been anywhere in the code to begin with, right?

they were convinced they weren't themselves. they took on new names and identities, even if bits of their original personality remained.

basically i don't think we can expect anything to follow any known logic anymore

[tablescraps]

There's been evidence of Cubia's tampering from the start; Areas that inflict changes of personality and inclination, for example; glitches that affect you offline... and then the elements that had to be patched out, like past memories displaying on mirrors or playing in the wind.

The capability has presumably always existed in the code, and CC Corp isn't off the hook for creating this technology. But CC Corp didn't want to show their hand so obviously; Cubia weaponized it while CC Corp tried to keep it hidden.

yikes...

[bleatingedge]

yeah we legit thought that too

they just sorta materialized out of thin air and washed ashore

but their irl counterparts it seems??

un: Mithrun1

[tablescraps]

I forgot what it felt like to have hair this long...

( looking a gift horse in the mouth? maybe, )

[bleatingedge]

it looks good on you!

[tablescraps]

Thanks, I guess. I've never really thought about my own appearance. It just gets in the way when I try to do my combos.

( Mithrun, who can't use his legs again in full yet, trying to do his combos somehow, )

[bleatingedge]

i think the best combo you should do right now is 'rest' followed by 'snuggle with misteaks'

that chain doesn't require much eyesight tbf

[tablescraps]

( this is so cute wtf leo...... )

I can't sit still when there's more Waves coming. For his sake, too.

[bleatingedge]

i'm sure he appreciates your dedication

but he also appreciates you still being alive

in your current state, i fear that you running into battle against the next wave of... waves would prove fatal

and you've already been given a second chance

i don't think there will be anything beyond that...

[gluttoning]

[preach it brother]

[tablescraps]

I don't intend to die.

This is the third chance I've gotten, if I count reality. I'm going to use it this time instead of hiding away, or being deathward bound.

[conjecturecycle]

Like their avatars were changed to look exactly like they do in real life?

[bleatingedge]

that and like, it even grabbed their current irl injuries and stuff

like misteak's leg is broken and in a cast

it's weird as hell

[conjecturecycle]

What kind of enter the matrix bullshit is going on now????

[bleatingedge]

dude i don't fucking know

as long as we don't learn that lily is using our brain power to power himself and we're inside goop tubes then i'm fine
