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

the bubbles at least give someplace for all the dead people to go
but i wouldnt call the horrorterrors pleasant no
theyre creepy as shit and they kinda possessed my sister once from what ive been told

[warriorscribe]

Is there no better place for these poor souls to go than in the company of these things? They sound like demons to me, possession and all. Demonic possession is one of the worst things one can be subjected to. Was your sister able to be freed?

[mrcreamsicles]

no afterlife besides that one
i dont think theyre demons in a normal sense
the details arent really my thing and i dont want to go digging into their freaky tentacle secrets
but yeah rose was fine in the long run
like this is going to sound bad and i suppose it is
but she wound up dying from trying to fight this dude and after she got revived she was back to normal
and now shes a god tier so she cant die as easily anyway

[warriorscribe]

So you had a means of revival? Only two people in my world can say as much. Death isn't pleasant by any means, but I'm glad it didn't take her from you.

[mrcreamsicles]

its kind of complicated
normally a dead person stays dead especially just for regular people back when earth was a thing
but sburb carries some ways to get around it
each player has a dream self that they can be revived into if their regular body dies
and god tier players can only die permanently if the death can be judged just or heroic otherwise they come back automatically
i saved someone once by time traveling back to stop him from dying
and probably a player with the right aspect could revive people too
aspects are part of titles were given that determine our abilities and roles btw
how did it work in your world for those two

[warriorscribe]

Who judges them?

I, one of the two, have help from a time traveler, myself. The other died, in truth, but was allowed to reincarnate with full memory of her previous life.

[mrcreamsicles]

its not a who that does the judging
and its not really a personal force either
more like
i dont know
some inherent part of the game
knowing the how and why wasnt part of the info i got imparted just that thats how it works
but hey youre a time traveler too huh
so was i
tell me about that

[warriorscribe]

Not myself, in truth. My dearest friend is an Archangel with control over time. When I am on the verge of death, he rescues me by freezing time and removing me from danger, or returning me to an earlier time.

[mrcreamsicles]

dearest friend
so he knows you appreciate it?

[He has to ask.]

[warriorscribe]

[And because he associates with a time traveler, he knows why. Or can guess, at least.]

Of course. I don't think I always remembered what happened in the events that never came to be, when he pulls me from the brink of death, but I remember without fail now.

[mrcreamsicles]

ok good
thats all i needed to know

[He's not going to say it, but it sucks to save someone only to get treated ungratefully for it.]

[warriorscribe]

It must be maddening to come to someone's aid in such a way they won't even know you did it. I take it that must be a problem you face?

[mrcreamsicles]

no he knew
the problem is different
but its not really important right now

[It's the root of many of his issues, but shhhhhh.]

[warriorscribe]

[That means he doesn't want to talk about it. Oh well - he can guess, he thinks it must be this person took his abilities for granted.]

Surely you will find a friend who appreciates your skill, as well, when we escape this place.

[mrcreamsicles]

[He could argue about that, how he's no time traveler anymore and... Well, he doesn't have a lot of faith in his own skills. But that's depressing, and not an issue he needs to reveal to someone he barely knows.]

yeah maybe
its a nice thought
im gonna try to keep helping people here while i can
