[this, like most of the posts that anna makes, comes in the middle of a sleepless night. she's gone as anonymous as she possibly can, at least. maybe that will stop people from calling her out. maybe one day she'll learn how to talk about her emotions without sounding like a theater kid turned supervillain.]
How are we all feeling in the wake of January? Are we feeling whole? Normal? Like ourselves? Suppose you aren't. Suppose you walked, or flapped, or slithered away from the shedding ceremony feeling extremely different. Could any of you pinpoint that change, do you think? Would any of you even still be aware that you used to be someone different?
And on the other side of the coin, for people who returned to "normal". Do you remember what happened? Do you remember who you were? Or is it all turning into some kind of soup within your own brain? Do you have any way to stay that gnawing feeling of dread inside you when you think of the way you're losing touch with your own identity?
And if you have no idea what I'm talking about... call it a thought experiment.
everyone post cute pics of your omens here or other pets if you have them those are fine too
[There is literally no ulterior motive here. Sunny really just wants a collection of cute animal pics. And maybe it'd be good for keeping people calm, eyebleach style. He includes a picture of his own omen, Mewo. Apparently he's taken a picture of an already existing photograph.]
also is there any way to make physical prints from the omni camera? so the pictures could be put into a photo album thanks
[Huaisang doesn't know how to make it anonymous, but he knows how to make a funky new name, so— close enough. This isn't even important enough to be anonymous, he simply has... overbearing brothers. Of a sort.]
[Okay, surely that is a good enough attention-grabber, so moving on to the real (not that urgent) problem:]
Hello! I have a problem, and I need someone to solve it!! I'll owe you one!! Please don't look away or new and worse problems will undoubtedly arise next!!!!
How do you get corruption out of a thing? You know, an object? Can I do that? I've already read about how to get corruption out of a person, but this is different. It's starting to stain my floor...
If it helps, it's something from my home. I don't know if that matters, I really don't know anything about this stuff.
Obviously, I don't want to touch it!! But it's going to be a hassle for me if I can't clean it up. If you help me out, I'll be in your debt!
[The device that lets him communicate with people over long distances is interesting, but Trevor's seen magic achieve something similar before.
No, what holds his attention is the several different vessels of water available in houses. He's standing in a bathroom where the shower, sink and bath all have the water running.]
...I feel like an idiot talking to myself, but if this really works.
[He looks directly at the camera and then attempts to straighten it out (it isn't) before he clears his throat.]
So citizens of this fine shithole, what do we need this much running water inside for?
The well I get-- [He points at the toilet.] But this all seems a bit much.
