I mean, I think there was something in the hole? A huge mouth or something.
The entities don't really work on human logic. Jon always says they work on Nightmare logic. And another avatar I met said... rituals are just what feels right.
Yeah, it gets weird. When me and Jon were walking through the apocalypse he kept trying to explain it, but I'm pretty sure he was actually working on a different level of reality to me at that point so...
He told me a little, but I understand it hasn't happened for him yet. If it's an apocalypse tied to the Eye, I suppose that makes sense too. I imagine it'd be...I don't know super powered? On it's home turf, as it were? That can't be easy for a mind to handle.
The closest thing to a god in a world that doesn't have them, I guess.
They honestly sound like the sorts of Great Powers that are just a step down from gods back home for me, the kinds that make pacts with mortals and grant them powers similar to the types gods can for clerics. I'm pretty sure they're only not gods because they're relegated to cults and niche focuses that just don't net them enough power and influence to reach godhood.
[...]
If you'd rather not discuss it, there's no need. Jon shut me down early on that sort of theorizing and discussion cause he didn't like I said it made him a warlock by my world's standards.
I thought they might be gods at first, just evil twisted ones that took over your world, but I'd be inclined to agree now they're not. Gods are people and your entities in their own form are not, to my knowledge.
I'll remember the offer. And ask you things he gets dodgy about maybe.
Yeah, they're not. I mean, one of the avatars I met, he doesn't believe they think at all, not like we'd understand it. All the avatars are just guessing because the entities... they sing. Sort of. it's weird. The conversation ended with him thinking about throwing me off a roller coaster so... weird.
Oh the poem was- sort of? But about me too. And the situation when I was living in the Archives.
That makes sense. I suppose you'd have little else to think about. Did you read statements too while you were down there? They don't do anything for you, right?
I don't think he meant it literally. But... call people, try to transmit their desires to people.
He said something like... it's like trying to recreate a piece of music you heard in a dream, when you have never heard music before.
I read a few statements. Got the same weird feelings as Jon, but I never read as much as him, so no, I don't need them to live or anything. If I was going to feed on trauma I'm pretty sure it would be making people feel really lonely.
Oh! It's a kind of... You know the trains here? Like those, but smaller, open-topped, going really fast, on a track that has steep drops and sometimes goes upside down.
No. I mean, you can take a car or there are buses, but the trains and the tube are really convenient and if you drive in the middle of the city you're an idiot.
Oh... planes are flying machines? They transport people through the air.

Yes, he did. A while back now, but I recall the broader strokes. That it was a servant of one of the entity things that came after you all.

no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 04:16 am (UTC)At least I think.
I've heard a little about the Corruption, but I don't know anything about The Flesh. Though, I suppose I don't have to guess too much.
[But he's gonna.]
Big floppy ball of meat and skin? Maybe with a mouth?
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 03:06 pm (UTC)...that is not actually entirely wrong. I mean, I read a statement about the Flesh ritual, which was just... throwing meat into a hole.
no subject
Date: 2022-08-20 11:30 pm (UTC)isn't that just a massive waste? or is it about quantity of meat in one place..?

no subject
Date: 2022-08-22 12:55 pm (UTC)Well, then that makes sense. The mouth thing.
And the rest, I suppose. If you figure the avatars are nightmare-based beings, then their logic in doing what 'feels right' would be nightmarish.

Just for clarification: was that poem about Jon?

That sounds like a fucking nightmare. What is it, a torture device for enemy forces or something?

Date: 2022-09-10 01:56 pm (UTC)Flatterer.
...uh... no? It's a ride at fairgrounds and theme parks. You pay money to ride them. For fun.
no subject
Date: 2022-09-10 02:19 pm (UTC)These are on fairgrounds? You pay money to hurtle quickly through the air in a metal box with nothing but gravity and faith to keep you from dying?

no subject
Date: 2022-09-10 02:32 pm (UTC)For record, I'm not worried about dying, I'm worried about turning green from being so ill.
The trains here are not kind and we don't get on.
no subject
Date: 2022-09-10 02:33 pm (UTC)You don't use the trains? Really?
You would not survive London.
no subject
Date: 2022-09-10 02:41 pm (UTC)Does London exist solely on train transport?
And I dread to ask but what are aeroplanes?
no subject

no subject
Date: 2022-09-10 02:53 pm (UTC)See? Now that sounds useful and like a wonderful idea. It would open up so many places to people who can't or won't take months to travel.
