:// september 8th, 10:12amsometimes the outcome you end up with isn’t quite what you expect.
oh, sure, you hope for the best. everyone does. but hope don’t pay the bills.but you make do. or try to make do. because what else can you do? you don’t have a choice. so you muddle through as best you can, and keep hope alive for that much longer.

r: it’s been like two days and it’s still glowing.
d: freakshow…
l: guys, my gut instinct is telling me ‘bail, and bail right now and fast.’
d: wait… it’s changing.
r: are those… is that writing?
d: it doesn’t look like regular human writing…?
r: that’s definitely not the king’s alphabet.
l: we should go. we should go now.back / start / forward
:// september 5th, 11:28pmd: well. here we are. you guys ready?
r: as we’ll ever be, i guess.
l: you absolutely, positively sure about this, dae? like… there’s still time to bail. just say the word and we’re outta here.
d: i… no. let’s just… let’s do this. before i totally lose my nerve.
r: … okay. let’s go.back / start / forward
[ 3 / 3 ]w: nana and i spent the better part of a week taking notes on those things; everything we learned i wrote down in this book.
l: learned how exactly?
w: nana knows things. lots of things.
l: that’s not really –
r: not important. tell us what you two found out, will.
w: ah… well. basically. whatever those things are, they can be… spoken to. kinda like ghosts but they’re not ghosts.
r: how do you know they’re not ghosts?
w: i… don’t, i guess. but ghosts don’t have the power to alter reality like the Disturbances do. or make people disappear entirely. that kinda power isn’t something you come by in your regular, garden variety ghost.
d: you said they can be spoken to. how, exactly?
w: ah, yeah. you can interact with them but you have to be attuned to do so. like nana is.
l: we’re boned.
w: not quite. there’s another way, but… it’s risky. basically, you have to… strike a deal with the thing.
l: a deal? what is this, a game show or something?
w: i wish. instead of scoring a new car, you end up possessed.
r: wait, what?
l: you said it wasn’t a ghost!
w: it isn’t. but whatever it is, it can inhabit a living body. as far as nana and i can tell, it’s not like spirit possession. the thing can’t control you or override your personality. you just kind of… gain the ability to sense the things. see them.
d: so what you’re saying is… if we want to get to the bottom of this, one of us has to… be possessed by the thing.
w: long story short, yeah.
r: well… fuck.
[ 2 / 3 ]w: so… lemme get this straight. there’s some kinda… Disturbance out at the old cupcake factory and instead of doing the typical oasis springs thing and steering clear of it for, like, ever, you’ve decided to… check it out. again.
r: i mean… yeah. that’s about the size of it.
w: you’re all nuts. and i’m nuts for helping you. but i did agree to help so let’s get to –
l: i thought nobody knew what those things were.
w: nobody does. but nana and i have been… experimenting with some things; we have a general idea of what’ll work and what won’t.
l: so we are going to die. good!
d: nobody’s going to die, luka.
l: you don’t know that! one second it’s all chill, we’re skulking around the cupcake factory, next second – boom, factory’s been teleported to fuckin’ nega-space or something and we never –
w: okay, so you guys don’t want to know what i know, then.
r: ignore luka, he watches too much innsmouth stories.
w: you can never watch too much innsmouth stories. anyway. let’s start, shall we?
what's up, you cool baby
