2023-01-31 08:06:53 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve got a theory. See, I didn’t notice it before because I got distracted by the soot child, but now that I’m actually looking at it—unlike the rest of the city—the castle isn’t on fire. Sniff sniff sniff sniff. If my hunch is correct, then that is where that so-called herald is.

2023-01-31 07:57:16 +0000 UTC View PostA puff of perfume hits my face the second I enter. The intense light makes me squeeze my eyes shut, but on account of this not being a very strategic choice all things considered, I force myself to open them again, letting my gaze fall on the bizarre sight in front of me.

2023-01-25 10:25:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo, in other words, that experiment was a bust. Since I can’t learn how the feeling of having magic power can be described, I can’t exactly tell when I have it myself. Isn’t that just a bummer?

This way, the snakes will go for me. Some of them have really annoying effects, and it’s starting to remind me of floor two and the ladies all ...
2023-01-25 10:17:38 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few minutes, my eyes recover enough for me to be able to see again, but I keep them closed in order to continue meditating. Since I’ve got a feeling my situation is somewhat precautious, I use moving meditation as well just to speed things up a bit.
Nevertheless, after some time, ...
2023-01-25 10:14:33 +0000 UTC View PostMy body fizzles and fuzzles and bubbles and churns. There’s no air in my lungs anymore. There isn’t any air at all. Wherever I look, a status message pops up.

Actually, that was a lie, my head feels pretty alright. My tolerances must be undoing the effects of the hangover I would otherwise be having. Neat!

Sometimes I would actually reach a shore, b...
2023-01-19 08:07:52 +0000 UTC View Post…Yeah, thanks. Appreciated.
The second I’m back in the lobby, I collapse to the floor. Carefully, I place my head in my hands.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to say. Is there anything to say or do?

2023-01-18 09:41:05 +0000 UTC View PostDays go by. I can practically taste the paranoia in the air, surrounding the base camp like a thick cloud.
Once the defensive trench around the base camp was complete, they apparently felt confident enough to branch out into more, smaller bases in the hopes of pushing me to the point where ...

Ah, my good work has already been discovered, huh? About time, if you ask me.
Even though there’s no real need to, I go over to the base camp, just to watch the shades scramble. Some of them ar...
