sup norfinbury
for those who dont know me the names davesprite and ive got some questions
first off im wondering if any of yall have any info or stuff youve seen or just weird shit that has happened that you dont think is marked down anywhere
or that has since been forgotten about but youre still wondering what the fuck
because ive been doing a lot of reading up on this place and the vast array of nonsense that goes down on the regular to try and consolidate it all a little better
partly to write a guide to help catch the newbies up to speed and part because i want to find out whats going on
so if theres anything
some little factoid that you dont know how it links up but is too weird to ignore
something no one talks about anymore but might have a part in this
anything youre just plain curious about
go ahead and list it off and we can get ourselves a discussion going

secondly
who here can tell me about the trolls that were around
i know there were at least four because ive seen them in the morgues
theyre related to the place i come from but it seems like they were all gone before i showed up
and its kind of weird to think about
on that note
was anyone by the name john egbert rose lalonde or dave strider ever here before
jade might have mentioned them so dont worry about that
im asking if they were in the town at all
thats all

Aren't you the one who complained that the guide was too long?

audio;

[mrcreamsicles]

Yep, but that's why I'm doing this. Consolidation, Alfie. There's going to be some necessary linking to what other people have written for the people who want to read it, but I want to condense the facts into something that doesn't take hours of diving through link after link full of like 500 comments to comprehend.

It's not nearly that bad.

theres only been four trolls i think
terezi vriska tavros and eridan
they all showed up after me and i am pretty sure i was the first person from our world(s)(???)
so far you have been the only other human :(

[mrcreamsicles]

ive been saying world
its easier than explaining the whole paradox space plus two universes thing every time
for the trolls can you match them up with their old chat handles
i know which one terezi is and john mentioned vriska before
but i never talked to them as much as the rest of you did
they didnt contact us any in the other timeline and im pretty sure they didnt give a shit about me once i became a sprite

[eclecticbassist]

ok uh.....
vriska is arachnidsGrip, tavros is adiosToreador, and eridan is caligulasAquarium
ive had the pleasure of blocking them all on pesterchum before we even played the game remember? :P

There was a stone. I threw it up a few times. It had an eye on it. Mister Alfie, Duster, and Miss Tifa couldn't see it. I tried to leave it behind, but it would always come back.

It was when everyone was blurry and fuzzy.

audio

[mrcreamsicles]

Question: threw up like tossed it around, or threw up like gagged it outta your own throat? Because one is considerably more fucked up than the other, just sayin'. You're not the only one who went through weird stuff that day, though, even aside from the static and the eyes everywhere. Have you got any idea why a stone, not something else?

[empireofrats]

My stomach would feel all funny suddenly, and then I would start sweating, then I would feel like I had to throw up. The stone would come up out of my stomach.

I don't know why it was a stone... It looked like one of the pieces of bone I found at the Hound Pits. I don't know what they were called. It was bone and some metal, and it had some carvings on it.

My stone didn't have metal, but it reminded me of the bone except smaller.

Peter said he saw people with one eye on their faces. They were following him.

Although I wasn't here for it, I'm curious about the incident where the nanomachines stopped working for period of time. If you have information on that, I'd appreciate it.

[Zach isn't in the mood to show his face on video, even if he's feeling slightly better than he did, just by way of managing to talk to Steph a little. Still.]

i told you about lil t already
what else do you want to know
vriska was a douche
i didn't meet the others

[mrcreamsicles]

are you sure youre the one who wants to tell me
because from what ive seen my opinion is hanging pretty low
one heavy ass branch all laden with the fruit of doubt
drooping down so far its nearly brushing the dirt below

[majorlazer]

your opinion of what? of me? why?

there is a house in the old tunnel where the walls bleed
it tasted like real blood but then disappeared

the troll that was here was named Vriska
Vriska was bad at not dying because Vriska agreed to be murdered
it was not a good survival strategy

[mrcreamsicles]

ecks
why the fuck did you taste the wall blood
thats like asking to get sick
dont do that
but youre the second person now whos told me vriska agreed to be murdered so whats up with that

[ecks]

I wanted to know if it was real blood
scientific observation
I did not get sick.

Vriska allowed Handsome Jack to murder her on the network

Welcome to the guide-writers' guild of Norfinbury. Have you seen my collected notes?

voice

[mrcreamsicles]

Yeah, I saw them when Brian first posted them a while back, but I couldn't say anything since I didn't have my words back yet.

[Y'know, post death.]

Al's got a link for them in his guide now too. They're pretty useful.

So what benefits do I get? Do we get fancy hats? Dorky robes? There had better be a secret handshake or I'm boycotting the whole institution.

[bookofnope]

[Despite himself Beckett gives a dry chuckle. The kind that sounds more like a cough, but hey, he tries.]

I wouldn't say no to a nice set of thick robes. But mostly you get to ram your head repeatedly against a brick wall of missing information, contradictory evidence, and reluctant sources. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you really have something new to offer.

[mightypirate]

Trolls?

There were trolls?

audio

[mrcreamsicles]

Yep. Probably not the kind of trolls you know, unless you happened to know a bunch of horned space aliens that type like tools.

[mightypirate]

[A pause.]

...What?

I don't recall seeing it in the guides, but shortly after the Beacon was first made available, those who turned it on began behaving oddly, almost like feral animals. They wouldn't speak, they would crawl instead of walk, and would attempt to hide in and guard dark places. It only lasted the day. I didn't realize the Beacon was the only thing they had in common until later.

[mrcreamsicles]

i heard about that one
steph told me when she was giving me the rundown of stuff thats happened here
but i figured she might not know everything so thats why i went and posted this
so thanks still

[warriorscribe]

I see. We've both been here since the first arrivals, so I doubt there's anything more that I would know.

It's strange, I've spent as long as I can remember collecting the smallest of clues for the vaguest of puzzles. But there's something about this place that wears on the soul. It's frustrating.
