Through the Living Hope Posted September 7, 2025 Posted September 7, 2025 2 hours ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: She nods. "Where are you from? Is there anyone like that there?" “A smaller city called Falcon Claw. I doubt you’d have heard of it.” She thought for a moment. “No, no mermaids. The closest we had were meif wa and werewolves.” 1 hour ago, Edema Rue said: “That’s not…that makes no sense. Nothing about this makes sense.” 49 minutes ago, mippo said: After watching TV for a couple hours, which he could somehow do despite having no face, he decided to get to work on the papers the receptionist gave to him. He got up, stretched and walked over to where he had laid them on the table. Surprisingly, they were gone. He looked around, and just caught a glimpse of them disappearing under the door. He froze for a second, then slowly walked over to the door and opened it. Again, he just got a glimpse of it going up the stairs. He started to run after it, but stopped, rushed back and put on his face, then ran back out and up the stairs. This time he didn't care to clap, as it was faster to jump up 3 at a time. He soon emerged into a small-ish room with a pool it it, and three women and an old man. "Uh, hi, have any of you seen any, uh, papers? Maybe on the ground?" @Edema Rue@The Aspiring Archivist@Spark of Hope@Ancient Elantrian “No, can’t say I have.”

Even here there are more people gathered together than I’ve seen in a long time.”

"I've never seen such magic!" It seemed awed. The left head, Pherid, did not try to bite again. It seemed to have learned its lesson. He turns around. "My name is Dirutio. And I was the only survivor of a world with trillions of people. I had to learn how to survive, and if necassary? How to kill. I killed a god, and took up its power. Now I am destined to kill and be killed. But not by you. I killed a god. I would have no trouble killing you." He turns back and starts walking. "Oh, and Reasonable One? Try not to die." He walks away.

Her long robe fanned out and drifted, revealing that it actually had two parts, first the robe itself in a deep teal, then dozens of strips and tendrils in all variety of bright colors connected at her neck. Both were made of a thin, flowy material that had apparently been somewhat stuck to itself while out of the water.

"We're done dealing with PUNY, PESSIMSTIC, DUM MORTALS LIKE YOU!" He spat before forcing both of them into another hallway.

And to find Ftrell later, to have a nice talk, if, of course, he could find a way to shut up that Pherid fellow.

Quote You don't have to be concerned about room numbers, you can safely assume you'll be able to find a room if you're looking for it. Edit: I was partially wrong, they do have numbers according to an earlier post. Just don't concern yourself too much with who should be nearby or far away according to them, I guess?

Spoiler Any tips on how to deal with a single head at a time? Or is it some sort of bulk package, where you can only have both at once? And if I were to cut of Pherid's head, would 2 new Pherids grow back, or would 2 new head (with blank personalities) grow back?
Immortal Platypus Posted September 7, 2025 Posted September 7, 2025 On 9/5/2025 at 9:39 PM, InfiniteInsanity said: The worker carried the platypus through the lobby, down the first hallway on the right all the way down to the last door. Through the door was the Olympic sized pool. The worker set down the platypus by the edge of the pool and sat down next to it. ”Here you go.” The platypus jumped into the water (it was more of a hop, actually) and started swimming.

He wasn’t who she was looking for, and didn’t look like he needed any immediate help. So she turned and kept wandering, checking rooms, until she eventually stumbled on…a tiny, indoor pond? A hot spring, maybe, or a public bath? @The Aspiring Archivist @Immortal Platypus Quote I'm probably late, but i'll still respond. There was a platypus swimming in it. 2
