[ He was wondering why this forum post was bumped until... oh... ]

i wanna know too
so i can sock them in the face
are you okay?

[ It could not be so serious, but considering what Oria has seen and received, it could be devastating... ]

[gluttoning]

[God he really does not want to talk about this in public.]

I'm fine. Not hurt. It just reminds me of people that aren't around anymore.

It's also covered in runes I can't read. Every part of it. But if I touch them, it just makes me remember things I don't like to remember.

[dissimulative]

[ fucking yikes dude ]

dude.....
can you store that thing away?
in a guild storage or something
use a different weapon
out of sight
out of mind
yeah?

[gluttoning]

Yeah. I'm gonna try it on a dungeon run later to see how good it actually is. Maybe a skin will help. I don't want to fall behind Levi.

It doesn't really make me feel like playing, though.

Maybe if people know where else to get higher gear?

[dissimulative]

ive been doing some dungeon stuff
the stats cant match my special set either
no matter how many times i run across new gear
dont force yourself to keep playing with something you dont like
you can put a skin over it
but youll still feel the effects
take it from me

[ Whether it be for real or just in your head, either way, it still affected Oria and he thinks it could do the same for others too. ]

[gluttoning]

Yours is something uncomfortable too, right?

I wonder why it's only some of us. Some people seem really happy with what they get.

[dissimulative]

yeah
thats what im trying to figure out too
happy for them
but for people like us
it got deeply personal
and i kinda hate what this implies

[gluttoning]

They know stuff I think they shouldn't know.

The memories I see are vivid, too. No way it could just be a cutscene or something. Everything's how I remember it. Even how I felt.

[dissimulative]

really invasive isnt it
just wondering what did we do
to get these sorts of things
i dont think we did anything bad in the beta

[gluttoning]

You think it's a punishment?

Wouldn't they just ban people who were doing things wrong?

[dissimulative]

i just cant really think of why
these gears are so divisive otherwise

[gluttoning]

[He really... really hates that idea.]





I hope not.

Maybe if they can figure out where it's coming from, we can ask for a change.

[dissimulative]

me too
wish the admins would say something to at least put our minds at ease

[gluttoning]

Is Zelkova still the only one that responded to you? [He sees Zelkova out on the post, of course, but the silence that's lapsed since then speaks for itself in a way.]

[dissimulative]

yeah
nothing from the head admin
or anyone else

[gluttoning]

[Ugh.]

I'll go ask.

Even if they don't know what's going on, maybe they can give us a way to turn the weird feelings and effects off.

[dissimulative]

i asked zelkova is he can adjust the armor
but he cant
and hes an admin too isnt he

[gluttoning]

Yeah.

But Zelkova said during that logout incident the other day that he has restrictions.

Maybe Hien doesn't.

[dissimulative]

i guess so.......
he did something about it didnt he?
i saw him being referred to several times on that post

Me threading with haki only to return for more haki

[gluttoning]

Yeah, I think so. It felt kind of weird that Zelkova had no idea what he was doing, though.

[A long pause in response here while he goes to email Hien unsuccessfully.]

Hien said they're looking into it. But he's not going to say anything else.

I think we're on our own.

:bongocat:

[dissimulative]

i think its more that he didnt know what to do
as opposed to not having any idea what he was doing
theres a difference!
"looking into it" is very corporate speak for
"we're gonna delay this as much as possible"
i expected about this much anyway

[gluttoning]

Oh. Sorry, that read really wrong didn't it? I meant Zelkova didn't know what Hien was doing. He seemed like he was trying his best on his end. Sort of.

I wanted to have some hope for it, but he said he has reasons for the actions he's taking and how he's deciding things. I just don't understand why he isn't talking about it.

[dissimulative]

hes probably under a nda
he seems prickly though
so i wouldnt doubt it if its just him being an ass

[gluttoning]

He mentioned an NDA. It wasn't about the armor situation, though.

But I guess he could have more than one.

[dissimulative]

yeah
those things span a lot of things under it
sometimes under the whim of the one who made it
depending on how the contract is written anyway
it sounds like you had a lot of faith in him though
were you two friends before this?
