The Aspiring Archivist

"That seems bad. We're going to die? What's going to kill us?"

Went to school, then cross country practice. 3 cats, 2 geckos, 1 bearded dragon, 1 snake. Not all of them are technically mine, though. Math (Just kidding, math is useful... sometimes.) I'll say retaining pointless information. Right now? Probably roleplay right here on the Shard. I also do enjoy playing videgames, reading, listening to audiobooks. If you want to see a full interests list, plus a bunch of stupid jokes, check my Interests section on my profile. Tough one, especially with my aversion to favorites. The Magic Maze is a really fun and hilarious game for sure. Minecraft. Portal 2 is a close runner-up. I don't know any. Does roleplaying count? If not, than I don't know. The sandwich game that's going on right now is quite fun. Pretzels, probably. These dang music questions. I really don't know. Not only do I not listen to a lot of music, but I'm terrible with favorites. Uh... piano? Oh baby, don't hurt me, Don't hurt me, No more. Did I get it? Did I get the meme? Because if it's not the meme, then I have no idea. Literally? That's debated, but it usually means a bunch of systems trying to maintain a chemical imbalance. Figuratively, that's something I'm still trying to find out for myself. Not just considering the species itself, probably stuff like metacognition. People will say empathy but that's not exclusive to humans as far as I know. To be able to find something to pursue that is fulling to me, I guess. Pretty vague, I know. Motivation. Halloween, I think. Day before my birthday and all that. This is tough. Probably being able to listen is a big one. People far more intelligent than I have tried to answer this question and we have yet to reach a conclusion. I think it is very subjective based on a number of factors, so it's probably not worth answering.

"That seems bad. But really, it—she's—right here!" He reached over and grabbed Tors. As soon as he touched the trident, a burst of light erupted from it. The bones around TAAron were left charred. Ow! A bit hasty there, buddy.

"What? You can't see the— AHH!" As TAAron followed her through the portal, he collapsed to the floor in agony. "The— the trident?"

"Woah. I'm not sure..." There you are. TAAron yelled, spinning around. Hovering in midair in the doorway behind him, a trident had appeared. "How did you get here? Are you... you're Tors?" Indeed.

"Do you mind if I come with you? I've been wondering where she is myself."

TAAron felt an odd sense of intrigue nearby. He almost missed it, due to all of the confusion he was feeling himself at the voice's words. But no, this was from another person. "Haly, you okay?"

The voice went silent, and TAAron sat tensely for several minutes, watching as the festivities came to a close. Hopefully, they do the speeches soon. I've got to deal with this soon. Deal with me? That's a bit rude. I'm someone to be appreciated, not dealt with. I'm not listening to you. I don't believe you. My, you're stubborn. Tristan was always much more receptive. TAAron felt some kind of non-verbal signal from the same source as the voice, reminiscent of the emotional feedback he felt around him constantly. Was that... grief? After a long pause, the voice spoke again. I've arrived.

2. They can be fun. I don't have any, though. Ted Lasso, Firefly (RIP), Burn Notice, and All Creatures Great and Small are all ones that I've enjoyed. There are probably more that I can't remember. I don't actually watch a ton of TV, though. No. I'm terrible at it. No, unless you count wearing a Harry Potter robe for Halloween. Probably my hardcover of Heroes by Stephen Fry. It's nice and shiny. There might be one I'm forgetting. I don't actually own too many physical books, unfortunately. Okay, I'm going to answer this the nerdy way. If I spent too much money, It'd cause inflation to spike. But I'd probably donate a good deal to charity and then go to an amusement park with a fast pass. Maybe go on one of those zero-gravity plane flights. Many, many things. I have this one odd thing where my brain tries to reconcile everything with the law of conservation of energy. Don't really listen to music a lot. I'm really bad at thinking of stories about myself, but I'll do my best. I guess one time I was at a restaurant for a birthday breakfast and I started talking about random science facts and everyone thought it was really funny for some reason. I guess that's not typical? I had a very good one at an Italian restaurant one time. Ice cream encased in chocolate with brownie-type stuff under it. Don't really listen to music, so I can't give a decent answer on this one. Never had one, as far as I can tell. Unsure... This question feels like a trap. I guess any time someone asks if I have something that I should have but I don't it's pretty awkward. "Christopher." Not my real name, people just started calling me that for some reason. I don't care much, but I usually have pepperoni. Favorites again. Copy+paste answer from earlier in this thread: I'm chronically indecisive, and I'm terrible with favorites. I like them all, pretty much. Probably that last one.

I'm pretty sure that's present tense.

I switch the thread to 2nd person and, being the innocent bystander that I am, watch terrified a ninja runs around with a sandwich. Suddenly, I see Archivist attack the ninja en-route, tying him up with a large ball of yarn and stealing the sandwich.

TAAron was looking around, confused. People kept disappearing. First Nameless, now Ranryu. What is going on? I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. He jumped, looking for the source of the voice. It was feminine and soft, almost seeming to speak from inside his head. I'm not here yet, silly. It's hard to manifest in a new dimension. "Who are you?" TAAron whispered aloud. You don't need to talk. I'm Tors. Does that ring a bell? It did indeed. Tors... where do I remember that name? Suddenly, it hit him. You knew Tristan. In a sense.

That sandwich was a fake and evaporates in Wizard's hand. Archivist has now run to the opposite side of the planet with the sandwich.

I am hiding in your landing pad and I phase my hand through it and grab the sandwich when you land.

I sabotaged your parachute, so you begin falling to your death.

I would develop a fear of paradoxes. WWYDIYF lemons, water and sugar in your pocket?

Looks like a mildly angry scholar man. 7/10

I sic my royal guard on Wizard. They attack him and steal the sandwich to bring it back to me.

So, is that everyone? TAAron wondered. No, one was missing. Nameless. Where is he? He couldn't see the man anywhere. I hope he's okay... @Nameless

I take out my wand and yell "ACCIO SANDWICH" very dramatically, taking it from Cellist. I then put it in my impenetrable vault that I got from being king.
