CHANNEL THIRTEEN

TCHHHHHK-!

If you talk into your walkie-talkie, it won't just be the person who shares a truck with you who can hear you... But, hey, at least that means you can keep in touch with more people from a distance? Maybe this will be useful somehow!

Or maybe you'll just shitpost. That's valid too.

All communications on this post can be heard by everyone it is filtered to. Although, ICly, you won't know who that is until they talk back.

w2 thursday morning

[reconnective]

[well.]

Hey. If anyone can hear me, I want to know...how are people leaving the other side? Are you receiving weird messages too?

[aethertect]

Ah. Hello, Sora. Now I remember what I had forgotten.

[comes hyth's scratchy radio voice.] ... Shall I tell you what that is? It may answer your question.

[reconnective]

Oh! Hythlodaeus! [hello!! he sounds a little eager and also a little confused.]

...if you could, I think it may help all of us.

1/2

[aethertect]

[well, he takes a deep breath so he can just, gently sort of explain, except--]

[fionafancypants]

[In an oddly deep, but ... still obviously accented voice, in butts Jester. She’s yelling loud enough that the radio squawks and crackles, as she does her best DEATH METAL impression]

SOOOOOOORA! It’s MAIMING AND KILLING! Blood’s gotta be spilled! People gotta double die! We’re all gonna stand in a circle and murder each other!

[reconnective]

[....what if he just.

hangs up.


goodbye.]

[reconnective]

[in all seriousness:]

What do you mean "double die?" How? All of us, or just all of us on that list or what?

[fionafancypants]

I don’t think so?

[Hythie probably. Knows way more. But still!]

I think just us dead people.

[aethertect]

[after a moment of patting jester like okay thank you please go sit down:]

If I may - the list, I believe, is just an example. Of all those on the list, each but Leo has killed someone whilst here. Including you, Sora, though you do not remember it.

[reconnective]

[help.]

So we have to bring you guys back, and then kill you again? [...

...oh wait.]

What about people like me, Riku and Artemy? [that's to jester but oh there's hyth.]

...I really did kill someone? [really! would love to remember!] Whoever it is, can you tell them I'm sorry? [let him get his braincell in gear.] But if it's just an example, then...what, everybody else has to kill at least one person?

[aethertect]

I think that is far more complicated than is necessary. [he says, bemused.] We have discovered... ah, murdering each other seems to allow us back on the living side.

I have told you of my aetheric sight, yes? A return to the star oft means your soul is broken apart and scattered to the lifestream. That - is not the case here, so far as I can tell. It seems to me that whether you have "died" or not does not make a difference.

[a beat.] And your apology is accepted, my friend.

[hira]

[ static and then ]

What.

[ that's it i'm sorry, he's just been listening in. ]

[aethertect]

[sorry, he chokes on a giggle he's trying to muffle SORRY ARTEMY]

[fionafancypants]

Artemy you totally bogarted the really good guy to murder ...

[ stop dunking on poor [redacted] ]

[hira]

I murdered someone.


[ blinking noise goes here ]

I murdered someone?

[ blinking noise x 3 ]

[fionafancypants]

Uh, yeah, it was pretty cool, he was all like, ooooh, you’d never violate your HEALER’S OATH and you were like, nu-huh, I put the HARM in PHARMACIST and then ya killed him.

[hengtian]

[there's walkie talkie static, like he was going to say something, but then -

sorry, he chuckles at this.

and then realizes he's chuckling and turns his walkie talkie off.]

[reconnective]

[...exhausting. all of it.]

Yeah, I remember. So death really doesn't matter here at all. If that's the case, then...you guys have to keep murdering to come back, and then we can all leave? [he would love that. that sounds easy, but:]

Hythlodaeus, it's Thursday. What about if more people die between now and then?

[...except...oh.]

...you? [OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.]

[aethertect]

I could not say for certain - only that this is my observation over the time I have been here. If more people die... well. We shall have to see.

[a beat.] I am not opposed to letting people use me to get to the other side, should they deem it necessary.

Worry not, Sora. I encouraged the plan that led to it.

[reconnective]

People shouldn't be using you just for that. How would we get you out if that's all we did?

[he feels so bad, please end him.]

[aethertect]

[WELL,]

My own escape is unnecessary. There is naught else to return to, so far as I'm aware, and I would much rather be of aid.

[fionafancypants]

You guys I think Sora got the bloodlust from killing one guy and now wants to kill even more ...

[reconnective]

Stop, it's just that usually when people die I remember! And it's way less complicated...sometimes. [this is not helping his case.]

[fionafancypants]

Eh, yeah, kinda. At least it seems like we can go back and forth no problem?

[reconnective]

That's good. [...] So we'll see you soon?
