See you at the Black Parade!
[Video opens up and its the Disaster house...isn't it? Or maybe its Halloween somehow making its way into the house. There are skeletons and zombie facsimiles all over the front of the house, ravens and colors of orange and black all over the top portion. Someone is very much using their ability to fly to make sure the house looks as complete as possible.
The backyard has a faux cemetery because of course it does, and currently putting up tombstones is one Luz Noceda, in a cat skull mask, and she waves to all of you].
Hey! Sooo...in light of getting back into my regular sleeping pattern, I learned that we have something like a certain festive holiday back home, except its all about hiding your face! There's folklore that reminds me a little of Samhain with the whole keeping away bad spirits, so I figure: why not get into the spirit, and meld that sentiment with Halloween from back home?
So over at the house I'll be doing my best to keep things creepy: eyeballs, fake blood, creepy music, the whole deal. Kinda helps with the ambiance, and so far? Nothing really bad has happened yet!
Granted, gotta keep it that way too! Part of this is for the fun, part is for, well, you never know? In case spooks around here aren't just made up.
[Look, she had a whole ordeal on a boat with dead bodies. Letting her naivete fool her is just dumb at this point].
Hope I see you guys getting into the spirit too! Do you all have a version of Halloween where you come from?

D --> She is the living embodiment of a celestial object
D --> And the manipulator tidal forces
D --> Wonderful
D --> Are you aware of the most e%pedient method to contact a planetoid
no subject
I mean, gods? Don't you usually attempt an offering related to their attributes?
no subject
D --> I will slaughter a beast upon her alter to appease her
D --> That should usually be sufficient
D --> Now I just need to cause a monster to e%pire within range
[That was ... better than before?]
no subject
I kind of hope they're the type of gods who don't need animal sacrifices, but I think that's probably impossible. Everything around here seems to be centered around blood.
Can you take out a monster that easily?
no subject
D --> I can probably pummel one to e%sanguination with my bare fistkinds
D --> And yes that is precisely why I assumed that sacrifice would be e%pected
D --> It seems fitting with the operation of this region
no subject
[Better to know who she was dealing with, but signs certainly pointed to yes].
Really wished I could give more concrete information on all this, but I've only been here roughly about two months.
no subject
D --> I could in Asgard for a time but that was because of the e%perience of having my potency reduced
D --> So I am generally forced to beat things to death with my bare fists
D --> I am quite g00d at this
[And way too proud of doing that.]
D --> Two lunar cycles you say
D --> That would indicate that this issue has only begun
D --> These Pthumerians may not even have established the rules of this game
D --> Lovely
[He was still convinced this was all an elaborate game.]
no subject
You must be pretty strong!
[Whoa. That is already bringing some pretty extreme images in Luz's head. Yeesh].
That's the hard part to judge. I've only been here two months, but the people in this world have been here much longer, and already established their beliefs and have scholars and acolytes. There's no way of truly knowing when the Pthumerians established themselves.
no subject
D --> My muscles bristle in anticipation of the ne%t strife
D --> Oh that is no real issue
D --> It would not surprise me if they were here for centuries before they began this game
D --> That seems entirely normal
no subject
Yes, I thought the same.
Why do you keep calling it a game?
no subject
D --> But I will have to wait for the ne%t participation
D --> Because that is what it is
D --> As Asgard was a game played by the gods and giants with the gods as victors
D --> And our world was destroyed in a game before that and eventually reborn through the completion of the game
D --> This is simply another game in which I e%ist
D --> I am attempting to decipher the game rules at this time
no subject
[Luz would really hope they never wound up as opponents. She wasn't sure how she'd fair against a guy that liked punching things to death that much].
Oh, well, I'm not sure how accurate it is to call it a game, but if it works for you, who am I to complain?
no subject
D --> So I am unsurprised that you would not
D --> In the end it is a framework for understanding our purpose here
no subject
no subject
D --> In Asgard it was e%pressly clear
D --> We brought color back to the world and fought in a war
D --> Not e%actly complicated
D --> These Pthumerians are less informative in this regard
no subject
Unless they want us to pool our strength together to get to the bottom of all this blood corruption stuff.
no subject
D --> And I mean more in the sense of purpose and less the mechanical
D --> The latter can wait for later to verify
D --> Wait
D --> What e%actly do you mean by bl00d corruption
no subject
Oh, the thing that happens when you get overwhelmed emotionally and mentally and you become a monster version of yourself.
I should really sound more bothered by that. Maybe I'm getting jaded? Oh boy.
no subject
D --> This e%istence and its purpose will reveal itself in time
D --> I have learned a certain amount of patience
D --> You are definitely jaded if the idea of your bl00d being corrupted does not concern you greatly
D --> I know that humans are less concerned about their bl00d than my people but still
D --> This is e%tremely bad and I require as many ways to avoid it as I can
no subject
I mean, I CARE. I know that it can happen and I don't want it to, but I try to take some of the precautions, like meditation and staying with my housemates and trying not to get overly stressed out in a less than ideal situation. Those all seem to agitate the process.
I'll start caring even more if I see it happen to someone I know, or if something out of the ordinary triggers it. For now I'm still trying to manage the new abilities the blood has given me and whatever strange curveballs that happen every month.
no subject
D --> That is simply socializing with other people whose bl00d may be getting corrupted
D --> This makes absolutely no sense
D --> You are making no sense at all
D --> Bl00d corruption is a medical condition
D --> Make sense!
no subject
If you're such an expert on blood corruption you figure it out!
no subject
D --> But considering the comple%ities of my species and bl00d types
D --> I think I may need to become an e%pert
D --> Besides I am also informed bl00d is used in artifice
D --> There is something deeply wrong about this place
[At least he was calming down a little.]
no subject
And I'm definitely not as smart as the locals with this stuff. I'm just trying to deal with whatever I hear.
That's something we can both agree on. Coming here as squids should have been our first clue.
[Luz is calmed some too. She was just sensitive to being insulted].
no subject
D --> I was never the sort to dabble in such things
D --> Simply being the heir of Void was e%cruciatingly difficult to understand
D --> My approach is not arcane in nature though if I must understand it again so be it
D --> It would beh00ve me to study this magical mumbo jumbo
D --> Please do not remind me
D --> I was e%tremely embarrassed
D --> I am not a sea dweller
D --> That is the place of royalty in my people
