[Davesprite's post does not go up until a couple hours after the obituary.]

sup everyone
so i visited andromedas place again since she dropped some info on me before
i told her about whats been going on recently from the escher dreams up to the anomalies that were just following us
and asked her about the lights and why she and samantha were trying to help each other
she didnt answer things directly
but i did get an sd card from her with this on it

[The message has been uploaded to the public data record, but he copypastes it here:]

"I have to keep going. This part of the town is so dangerous, the people here are the worst affected, but I have to keep going through, or Winter died for no reason.

I told Samantha which buildings to avoid, and she told me to avoid the church and the high school.

I can fix this."

so like
it kinda falls in with the audio file i found before
the one where she was telling winter that the cultists didnt know what they were doing and she could fix it
and both watson and i talked to the admin recently too
she told me she didnt have any recordings of the whole turning into monsters thing
and when watson asked it turns out we just looked like usual
like people
not the things we turned into
and suggested that it was mn poisoning making us see shit
we already know mn poisoning fucks people up from what happened to jia xu
but the other part of this is obviously places to look out for and be careful about
the high school hasnt been found yet has it
and im guessing the church is separate from the chapel if people havent found anything unusual there

im going to be scooting along to my last stop for the night but if yall got extra thoughts slap em down

id say more than a little
i already knew a friendly floating pink thing
a tentacled princess cat sprite
and he made a hell of a lot more sense than morph

thanks for not risking it

[swatsflies]

He used to be able to shape shift into whatever he wanted.
That power seems to be sealed or whatever with everything else.

Whoa. Tentacled princess cat sprite?

[mrcreamsicles]

not surprised
the admin is a pain in the ass like that
anyway
his name was jaspersprite
you know how im a weird orange crow dude
i dont think i ever explained sprites to you but like
theres this game me and my friends played
one that affected reality directly
and if you put stuff in this thing called a kernel it would turn into a sprite which was a guide for the game
mine had the crow and then me so thats how i happened
but for my friend rose her sprite got prototyped with this tentacled princess doll she had and her taxidermied dead cat
hence
tentacled princess cat sprite

[swatsflies]

WHOA
That sounds really weird

[ Forget pink flying chewed gum. Taxidermied cats mixed with a tentacle princess. Now that is strange. ]

How can a game even effect reality directly?

[ And why would you play, dude? ]

[mrcreamsicles]

if you want to ask me how the technology works the answer is a big fat shrug and a fuck if i know
but if you want specifics
it was stuff like altering our environments
a big part of the game was building up our houses taller
deploying equipment for making the game happen into them
and transporting us and them off our planet into the part of reality the game took place in
not like in a computer or anything but a literal different location
it was also responsible for us existing in the first place
my whole universe was created in a different session of the game

[swatsflies]

WHOA
That sounds pretty crazy, mann
Must have been one hell of a surprise for your family.

[mrcreamsicles]

shrug
thats one way to put it

[It's a lot easier than explaining the whole thing, and like hell does he want to deal with trying to handle the sympathy for Bro's death that would inevitably come.]

I have zero memory

[swatsflies]

Did you get busted?
Did you have to deal with monsters immediately after?

[ That would suck for whatever parental unit. Surprise guests that want to kick your butt. ]

[mrcreamsicles]

what do you mean busted

[swatsflies]

You know for moving your house and that stuff.
I don't about my Ma, but most folks wouldn't be happy with that.

[mrcreamsicles]

we would have literally died if we didnt so that mitigates things just a little
not to mention he sliced a meteor in half to buy me more time to get into the game
im not actually sure how much he knew about it ahead of time
i didnt see him after entry for a while

[Not once in the alternate timeline, and that lasted months, maybe a year from his perspective. Time to change that subject.]

monsters are a standard part of the experience once youre in the game

[swatsflies]

Whoa. Sliced a meteor in half?
Man, that's pretty cool!
Yeah, I remember TZ mentioning them before.

[ And Jade, but too soon to bring her up. ]

We had monsters where I'm from. It was an every day thing even before shit hit the fan.

[mrcreamsicles]

i feel like we talked about that before
did we talk about it before
let the record show my memory is a jank ass piece of shit
anyway what counts as shit hitting the fan

[swatsflies]

Wouldn't surprise me.
The talking about it before not the memory part.
I know mine can't be trusted.

Evil Sorceresses trying to destroy all of reality kind of shit.
Well it actually started with a mission going wrong.
Then an assassination mission which
also went wrong
A lot of things went wrong and she wound up at the end of it.

[mrcreamsicles]

well shit
we had this green skull demon dude trying to destroy reality too
and like another one who was basically a superpowered monster dog who was blowing shit up and killing people
which kind of led to a mission where two of my teammates were going to blow up the dog dudes source of power except because of weird time shit they would up creating it instead
so "a lot of things went wrong and skull dude wound up at the end of it" is pretty much the summary of my world
high five for hella wacked out lives i guess
except im a bird now and youre still a person
good job on that

just whip that tail back and forth

[swatsflies]

Shit, man.
Sounds like things didn't let up for you.
Did you get to kick the demon dude's ass?
Huh. Could you glide?
I know you can hover.
But can you climb up high and glide down?

[mrcreamsicles]

not yet at the point in time im from
i dont know how they take care of him in the future
but i could fly
full on regular fly
didnt even need my wings for it since it comes standard with being a sprite
which is why im colorful and got no legs btw

[swatsflies]

Oh cool! You Maybe it could work for the scrap walls.
Without touching them.
They seem pretty sharp!

Wait they take care of him?
You don't get to fight him when you get back?

[mrcreamsicles]

dude no
house already asked me before and the answer is the same now as it was then
powers get nerfed here remember
i can float two inches off the ground and thats it
i cant just sail over the scrap walls for you
and listen i dont know all the details
this is future stuff i heard from somebody else

[swatsflies]

Oh. Bummer.
Man that's not fair.
Morph and Dumpy can kind of fly. Not that high or far, but can still do it.
Guess it doesn't really matter.
Anyways
You mean from Jade?

[mrcreamsicles]

yeah
from her
not really up to talking about it right now though

[Not with the obituary still fresh.]

[swatsflies]

Yeah alright.
Sorry, man.

[mrcreamsicles]

not your fault
but hey
ill talk to you later yeah
good luck figuring shit out over there in the meanwhile

[swatsflies]

[ It takes a while for him to respond thanks to rewriting the message several times.

He finally decides it's better to concentrate on the last bit. ]

Thanks. I'm sure we'll get it done.
Talk to you later. Stay safe, man.
