Mods can move this if it doesn't belong in this section, but this needs to be posted so that folks know and considering how purely pants-shittingly terrifying this is, it seemed like it belonged here.
The Angels have changed. We've had four confirmed reports that I know of that they've gone quiet and have started following players around when the player moves and actively moving towards them if they stop moving. They're also covering their eyes if you look at them - but don't let that fool you into thinking they can't still see you with the eyes they don't have. One confirmed case where they actually swarmed a player's Fake House while they were in it and jammed their ability to use [Homefree]; the guy made it out without being corrupted or anything, and they stopped swarming after several minutes - but before that, they were actually knocking at the door.
It's never been safe to quest alone in this game, but this shit? Do not go down to the Underworld alone. Do not go down without telling every co-player that you're going down there and when you expect to be back. Do not go down without being heavily-armed enough to take down the fucking Black King.
I seriously can't emphasize this enough: DO NOT GO DOWN TO THE UNDERWORLD ALONE!!![/b]
Ideally, take every co-player you have with you. It'll make powering up the Clockwork Contrivances awkward, sure - but if you can't handle crying in front of your co-players, suck it up: the feathery bastards have been sighted lurking just under the openings. Don't go getting corrupted just because you're "too cool" to cry in front of someone.
Also make sure that everyone in your session knows the Law in the Underworld. They've gone silent, so there probably won't be any screechy warnings if you break the Law - just sudden swooping. If the section on the Underworld Law in GG's guide hasn't hit your timestamp yet, then ask someone here. Easily-corrected ignorance is no reason to get corrupted.[/color]

I just came back from the Underworld. The Angels in there were all staring at me. Not moving, even if I looked away. Not singing, although I could hear the song in my head. This may be a problem, even if it's just for me.

[Rrangoon warrning.]
Thhat is verry alarrming.
I am verry good at obeying thhe Law, so if anyone hhas any questions thhey would do well to ask me about thhem. Thherre arre a few thhat arre most commonly trrespassed on, so let me tell thhose to you hherre.
Do not dirrectly addrress thhe Angels, even underr yourr brreathh. Do not interrupt thheir scrreechhing withh any noise louderr thhan a footstep. It is fine to talk in thhe gaps between scrreechhes, hhoweverr. Thhis shhould be obvious, but do not attack thhem.
Enterring thhe Underrworrld withh Othher corrrruption is not techhnically against thhe Law, but it is still inadvisable.

They do not sing any more. You do not need to need to worry of interrupting them.
The Host's sudden silence may be linked to their sudden urgency to find their 'Stolen Hymns'. I do not know what those are. Only that they are searching every session they can for them.
Be on your guard.

Seriously? Fuck. As if those creepy bastards weren't enough of a problem already. (Maybe it's just the fact that I can understand them, native Rain aspect and thus fluent in Broodfester and all, but I find Horrorterrors far less disturbing than Angels.)
I suppose I'd best hope that I end up being the resistant sort of Hope this time around rather than the susceptible sort of Hope.
Thanks for the warning SA.
It could just be version drift in action. I recall hearing mutterings about their behaviour changing at least once a long, long time ago, but I never learned any of the details.

It is okay. There is nothing to be alarmed about. The Host is nothing to be afraid of.
Should you need anything, just come and speak with us. Our bellringer will be more than happy to listen to you, now that his true self has finally come home to us. We will not judge or discriminate. No matter what, we will be there for you, and you will not be alone.
It's okay. We'll wait.

The Angels are behaving strangely? And this is universal or cross-session behavior? And I'm temporally predestined to survive the remainder of this session? Sounds like a party to me. All's I gotta do is crack these Clockwork Contrivances, and then it's time to totally fuck with these creeps.
EDIT: hang on what's this noise VD's spouting now

EDIT: hang on what's this noise VD's spouting now Rick has just fallen to the Angels. Don't go down there alone, for God's sake. I'm begging you. Just because you're temporally predestined to survive doesn't mean that it's all going to be fun and games.

We'll be together again soon, and then you will never be lonely again. We promise.

Actually yeah it's as likely as anything else that doing something like that would be a doomed timeline sort of action. Although... come to think of it, intentionally breaking loop and checking out incredibly dangerous shit knowing I'd have to die anyway, and posting my findings to the boards... does the connection work for beta selves, or is their knowledge trapped in their timeline? Worth looking into. I bet Sages of Time are all about scouting stuff with doomed selves.

Also, ignore the angelkids, folks. (I shouldn't need to say it, but just to be safe...)

This behavior sounds oddly familiar. Isn't it from that old TV show? About a doctor who travels the universe and is also an alien? The name escapes my mind at the moment...

It is.
If this is a prank, it isn't very funny.

It's not a prank. This is actual, verified shit that's been happening. Trust me, I don't find it any funnier than you do.
