public then private;

[mrcreamsicles]

good

[private]

house told me you were like that
nat too kinda but from the sound of it that was before you actively tried anything
but considering its jade who killed me i really doubt you were in your right mind
i mean
its you
mr im competing for the world medal in dadding strangers
mr tell me your issues because im nice and im gonna help you
doesnt really imply murderous intent
did you
uh
you know
did you hurt anyone
are you ok

@Spoiler ; text

[spoileralert]

I don't want to kill anyone and I don't seem to be dead anymore.

[mrcreamsicles]

ok
good
how did you die though
were you prophet eye people going after each other or was it
you know
self defense
sorry to ask that way but i kinda have to

@ordo, text - sort of private

[hangfire]

what the hell even happened

all of it sounded like the damn cult all night

the fuck was wrong with all of you

[And then, filtered to Davesprite a couple minutes later:]

they caught you too then

half public half private;

[mrcreamsicles]

im getting the impression it wasnt actually them wanting to do it
just from what people are saying
like i know clint and he wouldnt want to do this normally
but as for what really happened ive got no real clue
basically fuck this prophet nonsense
im tired of it

[private]

yep
my friend from my world did
which is the other part of why im saying i dont think it was their own will driving it

[swatsflies]

All murdering feelings were gone when I woke up.
Didn't die, but I did get into a fight.
Found no marks or blood.

[mrcreamsicles]

that answers something i was wondering about
i got into some stuff before i died
nothing serious
but the scratches and stuff were gone just like the actual thing that killed me
so i had to wonder if it was gone because i died or what
but it looks like we all got a soft reset

@jwatson; text

[jumpthegun]

No. I don't want to kill anyone anymore. I think it would be a good idea for everyone who had the Prophet eyes to identify themselves, though. In case whatever it is that took us over hits again. My eyes are back to normal, as well.

[Or rather, his eye, singular.]

[mrcreamsicles]

wait wait hold up
your eyes are normal
i checked mine and theyre still glowing
are you with anyone
do you know what happened to their eyes
if theyre normal again or not and what were they last night

@godsend, text

[termineur]

I'm alive and kicking, and I sure wasn't a few hours ago.

Hey, do people still have the weird eyes? I'm still feeling like a flashlight.

[mrcreamsicles]

yep i got mine
watson says his went back to normal though
but his were prophet style
are you with anyone where you are

@hotstud_xxx; text

[rubikscomplex]

alive again
no signs of murder
no signs of anything
just a reset
eyes are still glowing

public then private;

[mrcreamsicles]

same here
i ran into nat at one point too
there was a pair of scissors she gave me that i dont have anymore
its like last night didnt happen at all
do you remember running into me

[private]

by the way
when i talked to nat we got to discussing andromeda
its the glowing eyes you know
made us think of her
im going to be heading to her old house to see if i can talk to her
or her network ghost or whatever

[mrcreamsicles]

interesting yes
but also fuck you for that entire stupid exchange
whats your actual name kid

[eclecticbassist]

[ It happened again; someone messed with her conscience and made her do something unforgivable because she couldn't fight it. Not even to stop herself from killing one of her best friends. ]

[ She's always been a danger to everyone she cares about, though; if it isn't mind control, it's her own incompetence. When will the latter finally get someone killed here? ]

im sorry

private;

[mrcreamsicles]

[This here is the hard part. He knew it was coming, and of course he'd have to talk to her one way or another, for better or worse. He doesn't even believe it was her who wanted to hurt him, and what he's heard so far from others has borne out that conclusion. It's Jade, she's his friend, she can't have wanted this to happen.]

[But he still remembers flashes of it: her face, the texture of the snow beneath him completely devoid of chill, the shock of the wounds she left. He hasn't really stopped to sit down and deal with it yet. He hasn't really known how to start.]

[It takes longer than he'd like before he finds something to say.]

i know
i dont think this was your fault
just know that much

@icedragon; text

[toushiro]

Are your eyes back to normal, Davesprite?

[mrcreamsicles]

nope
still glowy
what about you

[He would have asked before he left, but he didn't even realize it was a variable thing.]

@itsybitsy; text

[redrooms]

I'm fine. Not a scratch, but my eyes are still glowing.
Are you alright, Davesprite?

[mrcreamsicles]

im dealing but im alive and unharmed
glowy eyed still
check your stuff because im pretty sure you got your scissors back

@jphawkins, text

[rattlingthestars]

No more murdering urges.


[ Awwwkward. ]

[mrcreamsicles]

everyone whos answered me so far has said the same

[Yep.]

if you want to be helpful then heres a question
what were you actually feeling then
im not blaming you because i really massively doubt most people here would just go on an impromptu murder spree like that
and weve spoken all of twice before that happened
but someone brought it up earlier so now im curious
like what was it about me
was it just a raw urge or

@zachtastic; text

[majorlazer]

no more
i don't know what the fuck happened


but what the fuck

[mrcreamsicles]

its this place messing with us
dunno why or what prompted this specifically but the rest is just more of the same
are your eyes still weird

@notasidekick; text

[nursetemple]

is it safe? I don't feel like I need to...punish anyone anymore but. I don't want to hurt anyone.
i kept myself away from most people all night and as soon as i woke up, i don't - i've been fighting this all night, but i have no idea why. What happened?

[mrcreamsicles]

honestly i dont know if it is
but no one ive talked to who had the prophet eyes still feels like killing from what theyve said
i dont know why this happened either
who got which eyes seemed matched to whether we drew or crossed out eyes during the static from a while ago but i know some of you werent there at all then
and ive seen newbies with both effects so its not like the prophet claimed them all

@LELRIC; text

[armoured]

It's over.

[Not his usual enthusiastic response, but this is a special circumstance.]

[mrcreamsicles]

yeah
seems like it from what people are saying

sorry for leaving so early this morning
it was just too many people there
didnt want to wait for an anomaly to show up
hitsugaya left for the same reason so if you were worried hes fine

@standardissue; text

[deus_ex_phs]

Back to normal, as far as I can tell. And I don't have the prophet eyes anymore.

But for the record, my eyes normally glow.

[mrcreamsicles]

pretty sure the normal glow doesnt matter any
unless you somehow didnt want to murder strangers last night

@IAmLegend; audio

[definingfuture]

No, thankfully. But just in case, I think we should all keep watch for any more bad effects.

text, half private;

[mrcreamsicles]

yeah pretty much
especially since some of us still have the weird eye effects

[private]

so what was going through your mind when you were creeping at me last night

@ofcorpse; text

[exequies]

None of it was real; just a particularly vivid shared nightmare.

[mrcreamsicles]

yeah i think it got that
teal deer our perceptions were getting messed with like they have way too many times before
but i cant just call it a nightmare when we all still remember what happened and some of us got brutally murdered

text; @dreamsnhonor

[heroproceeding]

I never wo--

it finally stopped.

[ Maybe he should elaborate, but he finds he really doesn't want to.

Hell, he doesn't really want to talk to anyone right now for that matter. But..

>private; ]

are you still with Sora?

private;

[mrcreamsicles]

[He won't press. It's been a rough time for most people.]

no
i left the group this morning
so who are you

@ketximq; text

[mightyratslayer]

[Charlie is content to just lurk in this post. Davesprite doesn't sound very happy (not that Charlie blames him...) and outing himself as one of the would-be murderers is not something he super wants to do. But then he sees Watson's post and, fuck, it probably is a good idea to lay all the cards on the table. What if this happens again? People should know to stay away from him.]

I don't want to hurt anybody. But my eye still looks weird.

[mrcreamsicles]

at this point im taking it as a granted thing that no one who had the prophet eyes wants to kill anymore
everyone seems pretty rattled by it
which is putting it lightly but you know
just be careful charlie
if some of us still have our weird eyes then this cant be over yet
and im not looking forward to whatever happens next

@Ecks | text

[ecks]

i died
i do not still want to murder you

[mrcreamsicles]

im pretty sure no one does anymore from all the responses ive gotten
are you ok

@donner; audio

[imgonnatouchit]

Confirming that the intent to cause bodily harm has passed. But in the interest of community safety, I think it best I come forward as a guilty party.

text;

[mrcreamsicles]

if thats what you feel like you need to do
but for what its worth im not bothering to be angry with the people who were like that last night
town was messing with you
do you still have the weird eyes though
some of us do so all this weird stuff cant be over yet

@Enoch, text

[warriorscribe]

[The response comes in the clipped text Enoch has taken to using when he's too upset to type a full paragraph or speak it aloud.]

No.

I "died" too, and also woke where I had been before.

My eyes have returned to normal now.

I don't remember whether I went after you or not. I try not to think of what I did last night. I'm sorry if I did.

[mrcreamsicles]

i ran into a number of people but you werent one of them
dont worry about that
for what its worth youve got my sympathy

@mynameisdug | video

[andiloveyou]

[A very wilted-looking dog appears onscreen, his eyes no longer glowing. He "speaks" softly, forlornly.]

Where did you go, bird?

video, private;

[mrcreamsicles]

[Poor Dug. He should have thought of that. He did at least leave behind the things he had carried for him—the dog bed and the food and water dishes—but he didn't exactly stop to say bye. For him he'll use video, though not without turning the conversation over to private.]

Aw, hey, sorry Dug.

[His own eyes still have their glow, obscured somewhat by the dark lenses of his sunglasses.]

That house was just full of people, you know, and after last night I was feeling pretty rattled about everything. I needed some space. Plus, I've got an idea I want to check out. You're a good finder, aren't you, Dug? It's like that. I've got my own thing to try to find now.

Are you okay? Did you stay safe last night?
