to: all; a warning

[princessvegas]

Hey, so I'm assuming at least some of y'all found that sparkler thing in your domain? If you haven't already, maybe..... don't touch it? Like at all. Except to bury it or throw it in a trash compactor or something.

Also probably do a quick sweep around your domains and check for anything else weird or out of place or creepy. Or with the Fool arcana. Just a thought.






Selfies might be a bad idea right now too.

Why, what happens if you touch the sparkler?

[princessvegas]

It's not the sparkler, really. Just... didn't your mama teach you that you shouldn't touch things you don't know where they came from?

You don't know where it came from. Could be something bad.

My mom taught me how to boil used needles she found in gas station bathrooms, which is ironically the exact opposite concept.

It's just that you kind of sound like you know what they do, or what they mean, or something?

[princessvegas]

Christ on a cracker, you're depressing. And I grew up in the armpit of Kansas, it ain't like I'm a stranger to depressing. Do you have some kinda weird trauma attachment to gas stations?? She coulda had you finding needles on the playground, but no, gas station bathrooms. At least junkies are less likely to blow up houses like tweakers do.

Look, do whatever you want with it. Stick it up your dickhole for all I care. I'm just saying that MAYBE it's a bad idea to mess around with some shit that you don't know where it came from or why it's in your house — store — or how much evil circus juju it's got on it. But that's just my suggestion.

[earthborn]

...Why.

[princessvegas]

You make it a habit to go around playing with suspicious shit people leave on your doorstep? It's good practice to avoid it.

[earthborn]

That's not an answer to the question, Julie.

[cryptsleeper]

Can confirm it appeared, beside the leavings of a previous Herald.

Which, if you missed it, we have a potential name.

[princessvegas]

Oh, I know his name.

[cryptsleeper]

I won't ask sources, but I believe you utterly.

I'm trying to figure out how to anticipate the next round of...whatever this brings, but far too much is in the air on that front.

Sannleikr's mirror was waiting for me, not where I left it.

I saw what that person Julia said about the Singularity's feelings. How are you doing?

[princessvegas]

My mirror too, though that never bothered me too much. It's always just sort of been mixed in with my stuff.

[ She told him before, she'd missed most of the Heralds' worst ills. Having a strange little mirror didn't mean very much to her. ]

Tired, mostly. Imagine sitting next to a kid having a tantrum, except like 22 hours a day and it can drown you out completely and also there's full-on sandstorms and lightning storms all the time for real, too. So, yeah. Pretty tired.

It feels a little calmer when Julia is with it, though. Enough that I can get some sleep. So that's been helping.

[ushiri]

I don't like that they can just go through our things.

[ He worries about Rousma. ]

I'm sorry, though I'm glad you've found help.

[ A slight pause. ]

I don't know if anyone told you yet, but Rhy vanished.

[divinityfrompain]

I KNEW it was that fucker, I felt it in my bones.

[princessvegas]

That asshole was fucking mugging for me, Julia. Peace signs and bunny ears and heart hands like he's Taylor fucking Swift.



Julia. He did the k-pop heart fingers. HOW DOES HE KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, JULIA?

Private forever

[divinityfrompain]

I have NO idea. I mean, the only thing I can think of is that the gods in my world can jump between realms without any trouble. So it's entirely possible if the gods here can do that, he's been to a modern world and gotten used to the slang and culture there. But it's weird if that's the case he's the ONLY one who does that.

He definitely wants attention if he let you see it though. What is his deal? Just playing games or is he trying to communicate too?

private.

[wiedzminka]

You all right, Julie? Did it do something to you? The stick.

[princessvegas]

I'm fine. In like, relative terms.

The actual sparkler didn't do anything to me, but. It's not something that just spawned in there. None of them. They were put there

[wiedzminka]

The other thing appeared too. From before, with the Heralds.

What do you mean, put there?

[thoughts]

why is it the fool?

[ she is also a "fool" this is concerning. :( ]

[princessvegas]

If it's not your sign, there shouldn't be stuff outta place with it in your domain. It would be like wearing initials that aren't yours.

[thoughts]

it is my sign but i don't have a domain. does that mean i'll be okay?
