hey so anyway
about the how we got here mystery im not sure any of us ever thought wed solve
time to praise me because i solved it
i got annoyed and backtracked
warper portals + warpers are the answer
and precurser tech or wtfever i guess
which
i guess warpers might be precurser tech anyway?
did we decide one way or the other re that
i cant fucking recall
but anyway
ill answer questions i you have them but i mean i literally just went back in time
and spied on us
because not knowing was stupid
it not having occurred to me sooner was also stupid but like
whatever
the more you know
pretty sure you cant avoid this bullshit nonsense when it occurs
given what i saw
but whatever
now were all aware of the inevitable possibilities huzzah for us

in other news
i will have been a mother for a year on the ninth next month
which is to say itll be the magisters birthday
what do you think alien fish want to do on their birthdays
because roses ideas so far wig me out ever so gently
which i assume is the purpose behind them so gold star for rose lalonde
you successfully creeped out your brother
actually no i dont want to give her a gold star itll only encourage her
and she doesnt *need* any further encouragement
anyway the topic was the magister and birthday things
i mean obviously ill ask him
but i feel like polling the populace cant go wrong
and i feel weird leaving this so short
there was like more to the first thing originally but i got informed that
basically the first part up there was what i needed and stopping there would be good

and now
i am not stopping there
shit ok im ending this bye

oh one more thing tho
egbert wtf do you wanna do on the 13th?
you have a week to decide jackass
ive had experience planning parties now i can make that a thing
w/out cake lest you have a mental breakdown in technicolor
i guess i could have just texted you this question but whatever
everyone else should know about your coming of age too just in case they somehow missed the alert

also @ everyone maybe be careful about handing nancy live samples
like
animals
im not 100% shes the most ethical scientist around so just like
strongly consider that as you do ig?
i could be wrong of course
but i think its worth being a little paranoid when it involves actual living creatures
and not just plants
although ig plants have souls here
so id be cautious about them too
dirk hurt a rock once it was sad
but it got better
but maybe that means we should also be cautious about plants????

also i think its fairly obvious by now and most people know but
my sleeping quarters are now @ hephaestus tower and have been for a few months
because best browser
but anyway no solicitors allowed not that itd be easy
b/c i didnt see a need to put in doors or accessible entries
but like
just so people know that tower is hella occupied
and to leave it be
tho i think most of them are still like free to take over if you really want

anyway later
i think i circumvented what editing was done to this mostly on accident
oops

edit: thats how we get kicked out too fyi
the precurser tech and warpers
for at least 2 people i checked
so hey

Dave, thank you for telling all of us.

Do you know why we can't remember any of that?

Also, I think you should get the Magister new clothing or a new toy!

[parodeity]

not sure i couldnt really crossquestion anyone who like
disappeared to see if they were mindcalled but i assume they were
like
the ocean has sung @ people and made them think things before
it isnt totally unlikely we werent brainwiped with magic ocean songs
but i cant really hazard a solid guess at it tbh
or i can but its just guesstimates
rather than knowing for sure

i was gonna say hes a fish and doesnt do clothes but he does we have dressed him up
maybe ill ask the reefbacks if they do birthday things too

[ex_resound725]

That would explain it. A powerful spirit like that can cast illusions on memory easily.

Is he a baby Reefback?

[alienates]

IF IT'S THE PRECURSOR/WARPERS/WHATEVER THAT'S BRINGING US IN, ARE THEY THE ONES SENDING US BACK TO?
ALTHOUGH I GUESS THAT ONE WOULD BE..... HARDER TO TRACK DOWN?
ANYWAY CONGRATULATIONS ON SOLVING A MYSTERY.
I AM CLAPPING ENTHUSIASTICALLY RIGHT NOW.
OR I WOULD BE IF I WEREN'T TYPING.

[parodeity]

oh
i should edit that in
yeah its how theyre sending us back
i doublechecked two people

[alienates]

I AM METAPHORICALLY CLAPPING EVEN HARDER NOW.
GRANTED APPARENTLY NO ONE ELSE THOUGHT TO SUGGEST YOU DOING THIS SO WE'RE ALL IDIOTS I GUESS.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

[guidance]

That does not match other facts I know, regarding arrival. That cannot be so for every case.

[parodeity]

tell me when you arrived and ill doublecheck my work

[guidance]

It is not a flaw in your work that I suspect. Rather, a fact of my being. To be here via a portal would lead to very ill effects for the world I know. Unless their portals can be refined to that of a spiritual nature, it does not follow.

[she did not agree to sleep for thousands of years for this]

[splinten]

Dude.

[parodeity]

i forgot not everyone knows nancy is potentially shady

[splinten]

Surprisingly, I was not criticizing you for including highly relevant information that everyone else might want to be let in on before deciding to help a stranger.

aw crap. i knew something was happening this month that i was forgetting. i mean, it's not like i didn't celebrate it the last several years but those were complicated years full of complicated feelings.

i think i just want a chill day, cakeless would be nice, but i will refrain from freaking out at the sight of cake. so much exciting stuff happened over the the course of several years that i think we could all use some chill birthdays.

how about we invite all our friends over, including the ones we made here, and have a barbecue or something.

...ok, wait. i want a silly hat party and barbecue. i don't think i'll ever get another opportunity to demand others to wear silly hats.

[parodeity]

what kind of silly hats are you enforcing here
like im sure we can make whatever kind you want but
otherwise a bbq would be easy enough to set up i think
we will even prekill the meat for you
i say we because im gonna make dirk help

[fullofgusto]

well, i'm thinking either somewhere between creepy trilby to classic dunce cone. silly!

sweet. anything i can do to help?

[bloodings]

you talk way too much

[ she read literally 0 of that tbh ]

[parodeity]

i get told that a lot
like
every time i post anything actually

[mistimed]

Salutations, Dave. This is all very helpful. I believe the warpers and the Precursor technology are deeply connected in some way. Either the Precursors or responsible or they adapted a previous technology to their own devices.

They were designing guns with similar schematics. I've retrieved some samples.

Most importantly, I believe the Magister's birthday will be best celebrated with a large special meal!

[parodeity]

sup horo
also i concur re precursor tech & warpers tbh
so
sign me onto that theory

whats this about warp guns though

also yeah that IS more important
do you want to attend

[lamortespoir]

So those who have left... they are safe. Or at least, returned home, yes?

[parodeity]

probably
cant say since following them seemed like a dumbfuck plan
mostly because
no way to be sure i could get back if i did?

[timexposure]

whoa you really found that all out when you went back??

[Look, she's. Still very interested in what other people do with time travel powers here.]

but dumb it down for me here, dude. you're saying people leave the same way we get here? like they just people backwards instead??

[parodeity]

yeah p much
like i saw someone go through a warper portal
and someone else go through a precurser basically stargate thing
i just hopped back to whenabouts i knew a few people ollied the fuck out to see how they did
same for how people arrived

[quadjumps]

you sure talk a lot.

[parodeity]

ive never claimed to do otherwise tbh
