psychic bridge II (main jaunt --> humans)

[leftbehindagain]

I think we can all agree everything this jaunt chooses to be sucks, yes?

This is Naoki. I'd have checked in sooner, but I'm half-infiltrating, we didn't have reason to think there was a network divide until just now, and it's... already been a very busy week.

So. We know the midges are cameras, we know there are at least a few actors among us - it's far from everyone, but I think we've pinpointed at least two - we know everyone was delivered here from space after unknown time spent in a lab, and we know this is Earth. If anyone remembers whether Karachi is India or Pakistan, that's apparently roughly where we are, going off stuff someone found underwater. We have about twenty minutes to compare notes and start working on a plan.

(OOC: Up to fourteen Beastfolk-side investigators can join in on this discussion!)

With a good chunk of Brave New World, sounds like.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yup. So far it's just adult dystopias, but I'm honestly wondering when The Giver or The Hunger Games is kicking in... oh. Wait. Returning to the gods is probably being released to Elsewhere, isn't it?

[helborn]

It's been a while since I read The Giver, but I don't know what The Hunger Games is.

[thornsofmalkav]

Shit, right. Probably past your time. It's about kids being forced to fight to the death on television, kind of like Battle Royale...




I take that back. This place really fucking is every dystopia rolled up into one fucked-up furry ball.

[helborn]

Battle Royale I've vaguely heard of.

... Yeah, it really is.

I don't want to think about the fandom.

[thornsofmalkav]

Some people are really into the whole monster people thing. And, you know, there's furries.

[helborn]

My uncles are a wolf and a snake, I am very aware of this.

[thornsofmalkav]

Gods are usually furries. And you aren't exactly immune either, Mr Demigod.

[Laughs. She means Laughs.]

[helborn]

Just because I can turn into two different dogs doesn't mean I'm a furry. I didn't pick that!

[thornsofmalkav]

I meant in the sense that your boyfriend was a wolf, dude.

You and Ignis can be the furry club.

[helborn]

... Okay but his human form was really hot.

I'm not a furry...

[His tone is a little whiny.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Not on purpose. You can't help your divine heritage showing through.

[She's definitely teasing.]

[helborn]

Thorne...

[There's that warning tone.]

[thornsofmalkav]

[Okay, fine, shutting up now.]
