welp
looks like we found the new october

[Immediate kill bill sirens at the lack of sunrise tbh.]

if you're not stocked up on supplies do it sooner rather than later
before the other shoe drops and it gets too dangerous to go outside
last time the sun didn't come up it it came with everyone's running water all turning to blood and nobody could sleep while monsters were prowling around anywhere you could get food and attacking your place if you ran out of incense
just because it's quiet now doesn't mean it's gonna stay that way
be careful

[About ten minutes later, the post gets edited with an addendum:]

also i guess if you can't fight and end up needing shit, lemme know

[Look he can't just offer help publicly and not act at least a little grouchy about it. Who do you take him for, Ruby?]

[Oh man, what a question. Qrow wonders if Peter's old guide to Deerington is still floating about somewhere on the network or if it was lost with the dream. He'll have to look for it later.]

that's kind of a long story
the short version is that this world used to be different, before this kid sodder was born of a pthumerian and a human, with incredible powers that the people of her town were afraid of
her grandmother, a pthumerian called mother superior, thought she could contain her power by having her put in a coma

which backfired and made a huge mess where the kid and all the people in the town were trapped inside her nightmare
along with a bunch of us from different worlds

and sodder split up the nightmare world into a number of layers to protect herself
if i remember right, the "october" layer with all the blood and no sun was the one mother superior was stuck on
she wanted to kill all us sleepers off to keep sodder asleep
because we made her more powerful or something?

you could probably get more details from people who were in deerington longer
there's a guy named shiro who's been around for years, i think

That is the short version! Thank the heavens, any more than that and my eyes would grow heavy.

That was more than enough for me, thank you, Harbiger. I will attempt to sniff out a source, then, that I’m assuming may be of Pthumerian origin.

[bolstafir]

heh that's deerington for you
complicated and confusing in context and even more out of it

name's qrow, by the way
when you say "sniff out" do you mean that literally?

[That might be legitimately a new one for Qrow. That's kind of exciting, wen these worlds have a way of making you feel like you've already seen it all]

[brushy]

You may call me whatever you’d like. “Ammako” or “Ammy” has become quite popular.

How else do we smell things going amiss? Certainly it’s not with our eyes! Unless, you are what your name sounds, then I’d agree you’re more of a See-er than a Sniffer.

[bolstafir]

[He is in fact occasionally a literal bird, but he doesn't generally announce that over the network. Always good to keep a few cards close to the chest.]

ammy works
but nah i'm just a human
sight's always done more for me than smell, personally

[Though there is probably someone out there in Remnant with some kind of sniffing-based semblance.]

[brushy]

Then that makes much more sense, Qrow the Human.

[bolstafir]

out of curiosity, what are you?
dog? wolf? or something else?

[One time he met a talking bear who asked him for self-defense lessons, it was wild. So he's particularly intrigued what manner of being she might be.]

[brushy]

A wolf. Did my sniffing give that away?

[bolstafir]

those are usually the animals i'd associate most with sniffing, anyway
guess i'd have egg on my face if you were just being metaphorical, though

[Or perhaps he would be. eating crow. :') Those kinds of dad jokes are mostly for embarrassing his niece with tho, so Ammy is spared.]

[brushy]

Does that mean I would throw an egg at your face?

sorry for the delay again lksjdf

[bolstafir]

oh no, it's not literal
though that'd be pretty hilarious
just means it'd be embarrassing, basically

[brushy]

If you think it funny, I will give it a go, one day. I just cannot tell you when, to keep such a semi-surprise still surprising.

[bolstafir]

[oho. oho. now this sounds like an invitation to play. he shall have to keep on his toes for a possible egging! he's thrilled.]

how egg-citing
but you'll have to catch me first
i'll look forward to it, ammy

[brushy]

Your challenge shall be a pleasure to conquer!
