Video | UN: aweful

[She’s been here for over a week now. Time to get the lay of the land. The video opens up to a particularly tall blonde woman with a golden skeletal arm and a smirk. She's here to cause problems on purpose.]

Greetings, hello, salutations. My name is Ianthe Naberius. I’m new in town, twenty two, a princess of Ida, unfortunately single and dreadfully bored!

Now, I come to you today, not only to introduce myself, but to ask something of all of you.

Who do you hate most in Trench and why? I’m trying to meet people, network, but it’s so hard and overwhelmingly positive! So consider this an open invitation. Warn me about that dangerous scoundrel who kicked your puppy, seethe about how much you despise me for whatever reason, tell me about your parasocial hateful fixation on one of the local divinity. It can be a minor slight you want to complain about, a friend of yours who owes you two perfectly intact human skulls, or it can be an actual danger to this lovely little community of ours.

Now, before you try to say “this is childish and stupid!” You’re absolutely right, but it is a necessary part of self care to allow oneself to be an absolute cunt once in a while. [Or all the time, if your name is Ianthe.] So let’s not make any grand claims to being above something like this, mm?

Feel free to use the anonymity feature. Or the privacy feature, I guess, if you’re shy or worried about being fileted like a fish.

I was only there for the last year of it, and I had about six months to catch up on everything before the dream started falling apart. If you want a good idea of what happened, I'd say you should talk to one of the people who was there the longest, like Shiro.

Anything is better than encouraging her cult to get stronger. So yeah, it's probably a win!

[kaientai]

Shiro, huh? I'll remember that! I don't like being in the dark about things if I can help it.

So you just woke up one day and realised you were here? I mean... that's what happened to all of us, but finding out you've been in a dream for a long time is a little different, I'd think.

[justoscar]

Those of us from Julia's dream chose to come here, actually. We had the option to go home if we wanted, but it didn't fit for a lot of us anymore.

We made a lot of choices when we found out that Julia was dying. Those choices led us to the sea that brought us here.

But, we did kinda just wake up and find ourselves in that little town somewhere in a place called Maine. It was spooky, but it was kinda nice too. I sometimes miss the parks, and the animals that I made friends with.

[kaientai]

Yeah, that I can understand. Once you've outgrown where you come from there's no going back. I think it's the most natural thing in the world, but some folks have a hard time letting go.

And at least you got choices. I think the scariest part about realising you're in a dream is not being able to control it and just getting swept along until it ends.

[ but then ryouma has always objected to anything that he can't choose for himself, so that tracks. ]

Maine is a place in my world too. Not anywhere I've ever been myself, but I've seen the word before on a map. Sorta makes you wonder how it's all connected. Hehe, time travel was already tricky enough, so all this multiple worlds stuff is way above my pay grade!
