TO ALL SUMMONED

Soooo this is weird and my first post on here hi.

Has anyone gone to the Singularity and tried to talk to it? Because I just did and I'm going to try to describe it but I'm not sure if this is relevant.

First of all oh boy does it have strong feelings! It threw a whole lot at me all at once, all negative, it's not having a good time.

I couldn't get like an exact thought or explanation, it was all emotions, but one thing that struck me is that it felt jealous and spiteful about something, but I have no idea what. The jealousy was clear but unspecific, so I don't know who to, or what about, I'm sorry. It's generally upset.

I don't think this is helpful because I couldn't convince it of anything or make it stop, but in case you were like 'hey is the Singularity going through something' the answer is 'yeah it's full of feels.'

I don't know if it would talk to everyone so I don't know that I'd advise it, but yeah. IDK.

Yeah, just wait until it keeps you up until four AM cause it doesn't wanna stop the conversation, and every time you try, it gets all pouty and huffy, like you're trying to fall asleep next to someone who keep giving these huge overdramatic sighs every few minutes.

Sorry, sorry, I'm not trying to dump on you. I don't even know you.

Ok, first off, use the higher plane thing as your explanation, NOT a special connection. I've been in Abraxas a really long time. Since the second summoning, in Thorne. Don't let your little cult over there fool you. We aren't "welcome guests" or "heroes" or whatever. We're tools to them, ALL of them. Do you know the name Relena?

When you touched it, did anything happen?

It sounds like a few gods I've met who really thought they were entitled to people listening to all their complaints regardless of time or interest.

No it's okay! It's good to know. I'm Julia, hi.

I don't think I'm special, I can just talk to greater powers sometimes. Which okay is special technically but in this case, it's mostly doing the same thing from what I can tell. Who is Relena?

Nope it just pounded feelings at me. Maybe it was at me. I didn't want to speculate too much but have you ever had someone who pisses you off and you are petty about them even if it's unreasonable? That is legit the sense I got from it toward someone or something. Like it's jealous and bitchy about this thing.

Yeah, except it can't really talk like we do, so YOU'RE the only one talking the whole time. Sometimes you get something you can sort of translate, but mostly it just FEELS at you while you just keep going and going.

[ Which, honestly, is generally not a problem for Julie. Left to her own devices, she can ramble for hours and hours about every thought that passes through her head. It's one of the few things that kept her from going entirely insane when she was isolated after Captain Trips ravaged the world — she can carry on a conversation by herself with no difficulty. At the moment, she's just being bratty and mean out of spite. ]

That's funny. I'm Julie. You're Julia. It talks to both of us.

Being able to talk to it is special, though. There's only ever been a few of us who can do it. Some people get like, the worst headache in the world, though I think some of them can be with in the Horizon okay. I've seen both. Some people can feel a tiny twinge when they get close to it. Most people don't really feel anything special outside of the weird stuff we all seem to get as a group. I can count on two hands how many I knew over the years that could actually like, TALK to it. And a lot of them lost their connections quick. None of us really know how it works.

When the first two summonings happened, they called a bunch of us "mistakes". As soon as they pulled us out the well, they said we committed crimes and shouldn't be here and they'd have to have a trial to decide what to do with us, then they threw us in the dungeons. Relena was one of us down there. She was taken away one day, they said for her trial. There hadn't been any other trials until then, either. Obviously it wasn't a trial. The queen of Thorne and her mages wanted to do an experiment and see if they could transfer our connection into an Abraxan person, so they could get to the Horizon and try to control the Singularity. It killed the Abraxan. They thought it killed Relena, I guess, but they must not've checked close enough, cause some guy found her and saved her. I don't know who he is but he's crazy powerful. Him and his girlfriend are like, gods or something. He saved Relena, healed her near the Singularity. Broke into the dungeon, freed us all. Froze all of fucking Thorne for an HOUR and opened the portals to Solvunn and the Cities, and then they just fucking poofed. Absolutely fucking WILD, and I personally don't care if we never see them again. As far as I'm concerned, they're the best friends the Summoned have ever had. Oliver and Elizabeth.

Anyway, my point is, THAT'S what these people really want us for. They want our connections. And they want control over the Singularity even more than that, all of them. Thorne's the only one that admits it, but they all do. If they figure out some of us can actually communicate with it... I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to put a target on my back. I can't be sure that Oliver and Elizabeth will be there to save me again.

Oh, yeah, it's been throwing a big bitch fit since John Wayne Gacy decided to get all up in our shit for no reason. I don't know why it cares now, it's not the first time some asshole god decided to fuck around with us. And I woulda tried to help except it won't stop LIGHTNING and it knows I HATE LIGHTNING and I HATE DUST STORMS and I AM NOT DEALING WITH THIS BULLSHIT UNTIL IT STOPS BECAUSE I HAVE A FUCKING HEADACHE

Sorry, that last part wasn't really for you.

Hi Julie! Juli- club, haha.

I mean, I'm happy to talk to it if it wants to continue doing that, even if it sounds like it can be a real headache for you. I think what it's possible it is reacting to is that I'm a goddess in my world and we're connected to a higher state of being (called the "old gods" which gets funny in Solvunn), technically the kids/spawn of them. So maybe it feels like I'm similar to what it knows here?

IDK, whatever the reason, if I can help take some of the load from you? I don't know if I can do that, but it sounds like you've been dealing with a lot of this mostly alone, and I'm sorry. You can feel free to do the equivalent of keysmashing or capslocking here to me any time.

That's all a lot of info but yeah, seems like a good idea to keep that quiet. Also I was thinking it was related to that clown god thing, but I didn't want to say out loud that in case I was making stuff up. But that was sus af.

I don't know. Some of the others who could do it, the Singularity had sort of... replaced?? something that couldn't come with them. Something that they couldn't really exist without, I don't know how else to explain it. But it's not as simple as being brought back from the dead, cause not everyone who gets brought back from the dead can do it. I didn't have anything special like a spell or curse or whatever for it to latch onto, so I don't know why me. But also I think some others are more like you, some kind of —
higher being or whatever.

I'm just a regular old human.

Usually we get along ok. It sleeps a lot more, usually. Well, maybe it's not sleep, but that's how I think of it. It's just so fucking worked up that it won't stop right now, it's like when you put baby in a crib and they just stand there screaming with their face all red and wrinkled up like a baboon's ass for three hours until they pass out. Except the baby is a big frickin rock that's in charge of the whole universe or something.

[ Julie was not raised with "gentle parenting". ]

If you can buy me a few quiet nights, you'd be a lifesaver, honestly. I don't always feel when it pays attention to other people, but maybe the tantrum will drain it out some. Knock on wood.

Yeah, the gods pretty much suck. People are mostly mad at Nikodaemus because he (I guess, maybe they) cause he helped Josselyn hide the island, but I actually think he was just fulfilling a pact or whatever. Those other three gods messed with us on their own. And one of them MIGHT have fucked Jaskier but I'm not real clear on all that. I'm not exactly an expert on gods, though. I come from a world with regular old Christian God, and He's a complete asshole.

Maybe the why you is it just likes you. Gods used to pick favorites all the time and there didn't need to be a rhyme or reason, although usually there was something. But it could be because you let it into your life/brain/heart and listen to it. I know it's not a god, but it could play favorites like anyone else.

The vibe I was getting was you know when someone is getting really worked up and they're yelling and then they seem to be calming down and then suddenly scream AND ANOTHER THING and get even angrier than before so it goes up like three notches? That's where I felt I was coming in, on the 'and another thing' moment.

I'll go sit with it, it can yell at me for a while. I can't promise that it'll help, but if it does, cool. It completely covered my domain in snow so it's not like I can hang out in there right now. I had to send my baby dragon to another part of the Horizon so it wouldn't be cold.

The gods VERY MUCH SUCK in my world. They're just the worst. I used to be human and I was turned this way because a goddess felt bad her son was a predator and psycho murderer so she took his god power and shoved it into me without asking. With no explanation, I had no idea what was happening to me, and then didn't bother to train me either. And she's one of the "nice" ones! Most of them just fucked off to other worlds or abandoned their own and started a new one.

Pretty much my primary thought since this all happened was doing whatever I could to be the opposite of those assholes. I was able to commune with one of the goddesses out here, the spring goddess, she's not so bad so far but we're really early on.

I don't know. Seems to have happened before I ever met it, though. The first time I went to the Horizon, when I didn't even know who I was, my whole domain was already there for me. I just had to find it.

Oh yeah, there's some real bitch-eating-crackers vibes to this one. I mean, I already knew the Singularity is connected to at least some of the gods. It took me to Nikodaemus's domain once. Or at least that's what I think it is. He wasn't there. But it didn't feel anything about him. I've been some other places that may be connected to other gods too, but I don't know who or why.

Are your world's gods like, religion-y ones who there's no proof of until they pull some real punk ass shit no one believes, or more like mythical ones that are like, real guys people would meet and know, like Hercules or whatever? Thor, the thunder god, he was here for a little while, out in Solvunn. I never met him, but I saw him across the Horizon once, and giiiiiiiiiirl. I could be a nail for that hammer all night. But he was gone in a fucking blink. A true cryin shame.

Come to my domain tomorrow. If I can sleep, it should be held up pretty okay — I almost never lose control over it unless I'm running on empty. It's a club, follow the music until you see pink and you'll find it. If I'm not there yet, Steven will be. He's my bartender, he takes care of everything. You can bring your dragon, too, if you want. Mine is a grown-up, but he's still real small, plus there's my unicorn and my t-rex.

I've been told the Chosen don't always have answers for why they are, sometimes they're born that way, sometimes it's fate, and sometimes there is no answer, it just is. The Singularity chose you. Maybe the why isn't important, what's important is what you do with it.

You've been to their domains? It makes sense though, gods are attached to every part of the world that they're in, they'd have access to the Horizon. And they're Greek gods, actually, I've heard about Thor. I did not hear he was hot, damn, although vikings. Not that big a surprise. The goddess who turned me into this is Persephone, Goddess or Spring and Queen of the Underworld. And a real bitch.

Okay. I'll be there.
