uh... is this message reaching anyone?

[innerDesign]

Testing, testing, k it’s working. Great.
So, um. Hi, how are you? How’s where/whenever you are holding up?
K so I’m sending this out for a couple of reasons.

1. I need some help. Like seriously. I need to find and chat to people from my first two sessions. I now know I’ve experienced some “memory lost” I guess, Memory whip might make more sense. I will send out a recollection of my first session as best I can while I wait. Which leads me to reason #2.

2. I’m stuck on a meteor floating in the void or null or something. I’m in a lab with tons of broken computers & stuff with little left to eat. I estimate I have about 2 weeks of food here.

All I know is that in my last session I was a Seer of Doom & I’ve had some visions/memories of events I don’t remember. A girl screaming, a guy fighting with a guitar, three people standing around me in a circle with their arms raised & glowing. Gods I’m scared.

So if someone is out there & reading this please. Help.

Sincerely.

innerDesign.

We read you but have little idea how to help. Do you still have functional classpect abilities? Reconnecting with your regular players could prove difficult if they don't get on here independently.

Are there any magicant entrances on your meteor, or can you see any in the void you're floating in? What color is the empty outside? Is there anything in it? Grey empties are usually Void or Flux spaces, while black empties could just be a particularly deserted section of Ring or a different voidspace. Look around for Void players or their dreamselves comatosely floating around or void displacements doing the slippy thing, if you see a player that seems to be asleep or not able to see you try to hang onto it because it's gonna move hella fast out and buggy aspect detectionform can drag you with it. Do space and time seem to be behaving normally?

Most veiloid meteors have magicant entries tying them to the host session's spacetime unless it gets scratched or decays or something, did you check the whole thing first? If you're on such an irrelevant one it doesn't even have alchemy equipment to recycle garbage into grist for food, that's not good. Check the entire area of the rock you're on.

[Nefer Nightbug]

Well then.

It looks like you'll have to science the shit out of this.

Is there any food you can grow?

There was a pretty famous Terran movie, The Martian (2015) on some Terran timelines: you should make like him if there's any potatoes.

[smashingBrawler]

Dude! You're alive! Is the lab a skaianet one or an ectobiology lab? If so there could be an appearifier, so you might be able to get a hold of some food that way.

Either way, glad to know you're alive.

[innerDesign]

I REACHED SOMEONE WOOO! Wait, OMG! HENRY? THAT YOU?

Okay, ok. Um, um. This computer I cobbled together transcribes voice recordings so if you hear anything else don’t worry.

First off I’m in a tiny as fuck lab on a small ass meteor. I have access to four rooms with a fifth that I know of stuck behind a wall of rubble that I can’t shift so I don’t know how large this lab really is. My current Classpect is Seer of Doom, and I receive visions… no more like memories I’ve loossst… Ga, Fuck not now. Aahh *THUMP*

*Shuffle*

*Shuffle*
Ga ha ha. Okay just had one. Fuck why are they so random? Well I do another memory log for that vision. Where was I?
Right, when I started this session I was in a coma. Don’t ask how, still searching, still kinda physically weak, don’t need my canekind any more though. This session was really weird too. Three void players, me & the time/space pair. One of the void players were testing their abilities when they suddenly teleported. I stepped forward to get a better look when I got teleported as well. That’s how I got stuck here about three weeks ago. The void or whatever around the meteor is Void Godtier blue-black.

[horrorTerror]

Well, you're in the big V id itself most likely. Can you *tunnel* *up* or *down* to the Furthest Ring or the Strata by trying to doom at a patch of spacetime? It seems old Isn't is breaking their stride by bringing *materials of is* into it. Doom and Void have been cooperating lately, so...Whisperings say anything?

[smashingBrawler]

HT, innerDesign is from back in that first session I told you about - it seems like he's getting visions of things which happened after the doom cataclysm back in the day, but he also seems to have visions of players he seems to have forgotten - both the Scout of Breath (who did have the guitarkind specibus) and Witch of Rain (screaming or cackling?) from that session...

But yeah ID, any help from the Blight?

[innerDesign]

Huh huh huh sorry just coming off of a vision. Mmm ow, wish I'd crafted a helmet before this. So I now know why I coma'd into this session. Was going through the door of the great reward when the scratch caught up. SB & HT I believe these visions are from The Blight but I am having a hard time understanding. I think their showing me the hardest/scariest parts of my past. Maybe if I was a Seer of Mind I could Hurk! Gah…
*THUNK*

Transmission Lost

[horrorTerror]

...oh jenna this is bad

Anyone both here and with server perms so they can trace his connection? Or a strong enough voidsense to figure out where this guy is?

Connect dropped out with a finished post, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe when he fell it knocked out the audio-STT but not the transmitter. Or the server just calls it a day when the signal for a broken computer is received (yes, Sburb-explodable computers have that prepped). Hope for the best, brace for the worst.

Any Void scryers with time, do us all a favor the next time you take a trip to voidspace or a Skaian magicant check for an interruption in Is Not and see if that one's still around? Maybe a displacement could at least recover the veiloid for analysis and the corpse for a Doom/Flesh/Life-related intervention?

[smashingBrawler]

Alright let's do a head count of everyone who's active around here and fits one of those qualifiers:

My session:
smashingBrawler - I'm a Seer of Blood (At the least I can check around Skaia for a bit to see if there's anything in the clouds).
faultyCoordinator - Thief of Hope right now, so that's a displacement option. She's got her AI trying to see if it can break in and trace the connection.

absentAbsolute's session:
gapingGlass - She's a Seer of Heart right now, which means she might be able to see something if it's relevant.
absentAbsolute - Dame of Void (do Dames get any scrying abilties? It's been a while)


trepidatiousPacifist's session:
disillusionedGrove - Guard of Life, healing option if he's a corpse.
gentleLocomotive - Waste of Void (Sounds like an emergency option if nothing else)

Others:
Anybody who comes back.
Maybe one of the players from my first session or one of the other sessions in the double-scratch set.
Somebody horrorTerror is in contact with.

Anyone I forget?

[horrorTerror]

Guh, I'm so sad the Seer Network is no longer monitoring here, LGI more or less absorbed the survivors into technical and they're all jammed in a big summoning right now to test some important denizen deregulation ideas with a primary serpentbody and that'll take months.

Were there any landmarks beyond Skaian light where that big doomhole is if it wasn't scratched out? I might be able to get a servitor or ring candy on ring curvature to check it out to see if it's still open and check if there's anything much in the void. Could you see any colored bubbles dotting the sky from Derse before you all scratch-and-bombed?

EDIT: innerDesign was sighted online a minute ago. Good sign? Can't verify gotta deal with some immigration passes first but thought you'd like to know

[smashingBrawler]

Dunno if the second scratch would've gotten rid of the doomhole or not - weren't some of your colleagues looking into the doomhole/void tunnel? Or was it just that big Rhyme thing? The people from our session weren't really near derse at any point - we'd need one of the players from the pre-scratch, after claiming the reward the first time my ectobiological sibling and I managed to end up in the same session, but after that I haven't heard from any of them. Oh! Wait! Hold on let me message FC - if nothing else Adam might have a record of it!

[faultyCoordinator]

While I wasn't out that way, luckily, I'd already set up the recorder on SC - and she duplicloned all over that session. horrorTerror, how would you like me to send you the info? I've got a pretty detailed map of the area around the session. (Putting a camera on every Rain player I meet was the best idea I ever had.)

[innerDesign]

Come on, come on. Gotcha! Audio recording looks good. back in business. Uh, I need some Advil or something. Hit my head on the desk & passed out visioning. Knocked the computer over cutting the transmission. Sorry for the scare.
Fuck that vision was rough. I think I might now know the cause of my memory wipe, but not the why. In my second session right near the end three of my group performed a memory wipe; a Seer of Mind, a Heart player & a Rage player. Worked together for the wipe.

Mmm, gunna rest for awhile. Maybe grab something to eat first.

Love a rescue anytime guys.

Ow ow. Slow movements, ow.
