un: tabibito | Dead World of Indieglut Lugh Unlocked!

[tinged]

This notice is a little overdue, my apologies ww

@ fandaniel, @ Oriade, @ tylorific, and I (@ tabibito, hello!) were sent these beautiful keywords from a very suspicious and generous nonnie.

Δ Hidden Forbidden Dead Wood

Unfortunately, our screenshots would not save, but please look forward to it when you visit.

Here are the results of our exploration:

1) The stalactites and stalagmites decorating its waters were not wet. They disappeared into data once they touched the ground.

2) When we were there it was pitch black underwater, though that was not the case for anyone looking above water. Shining a light source did not help. There was also this strange pull. Is there something sleeping down there, awaiting company? They must be lonely if the pull was so insistent.

3) The beautiful tree! Touching the tree and picking the leaves caused Master to hear a loud tone ringing in his head. It seemed to give him quite the headache. The leaves, when plucked, also disappeared into data.

4) The area's music had lyrics, but I could not understand them. I was told it got louder the closer you are to the tree. I could not save a clip of the music, which is a shame as I'd like to know what the voices are singing. The beginning of the song seems to say something like, "Ah Fuu Wa Si."

I doubt any of the strangeness we found will still be there. Whoever (or whatever!) leaves us these little clues is quick to vanish into the digital aether. But I do hope they send us another message. I'll be waiting.

If you have any updates from this area, please comment down below.

I don't know. They're trying to get our attention, certainly. But there must be a reason, don't you think?

What they want and why they want it. And how long they've been here wanting it. A lot of things!

[ganymed]

...There has to be, yes.

I just wish there were a safer way of verifying whatever it is they want to grab our attention for.

[tinged]

I'm not worried for myself. I'll be safe.

[ganymed]

And how do you know that for certain?

[tinged]

Because there are people I won’t let go of. And I can’t hold onto them if I’m not safe.

[ #logic ]

[ganymed]

[ Incredible ]

The conviction is admirable but you can understand why I'd still wonder, right?

Given how unpredictable things can be...

[tinged]

I understand. So we'll counter it by being even more unpredictable!

[ganymed]

...Finding a way to lure it out of the water should be unpredictable enough.

[tinged]

What do you think would catch its attention?

[ maid dresses?? ]

[ganymed]

Fish.

Big sea creatures usually like to eat some kind of fish.

[ Yeah. That's his idea so far. ]

[tinged]

Mermaid skins!!

[ganymed]

There's mermaid skins now?

That still sounds like trouble if it involves someone posing as a mermaid!!

[tinged]

I don’t know! But I think it would be fun. We’d make lovely mermaids.

[ #fact ]

[ganymed]

Well...yes, we would.

Not that I'm agreeing to it, but I wonder if a skin like that would actually improve our swimming capability in-game.

[dissimulative]

then will you promise not to dive into waters that try to pull you in again

[tinged]

Not even to say hello? What if I don’t go all the way down?

[dissimulative]

youd be pulled in!!!
so that wouldnt matter!!

[tinged]

Just because there’s a pull, it doesn’t mean I have to listen if I don’t want to. My will is strong and my heart is stronger! ٩(＾◡＾)۶

hani
i hate to be the one to break it to you but
the laws of physics dont care about your will and heart

[tinged]

Two can play that game as I don’t care that it doesn’t care. We’ll see who wins out.

I won’t be unsafe about things though. I don’t want to force you to make that worried face again, even thought it was very cute. But you should only make it when you want to.

[dissimulative]

[ Instead of the usual reaction of blushing when complimented of being cute that some people would do, Oria feels so turned off right now that he just stares at the computer screen for maybe ten minutes with dead eyes so strong that he doesn't notice his parrot trying to nestle in his hair while trying to process this unworldly creature whose name is Hani. ]

you think people WANT to be worried??

[tinged]

Yes. And no.

I wasn’t sure which you were, but a choice is always better than none.

Isn’t it nice to feel it sometimes, as a confirmation that you really do care for someone? It’s helpful when one’s hold on emotions is as shaky as a newborn fawn.

[dissimulative]

are you talking about me or yourself about the emotion fawn thing

[tinged]

Me! But I think I’ve gotten a little better at it.

You can be a newly emotional fawn, if you’d like Oriade-kun.

[dissimulative]

no thanks
that would be like an insult to me
its different when its you though
it always does
