plot shenanigans + new icons (canon - sam & max: the devil's playhouse)

[doncalamari]

It would appear I have much work to do.

I know you believe this to be an ironic position for me, but it is nonetheless serious! I meant when I said I would prefer the people of this world not to be afflicted with disastrous fits of insanity... whether I am the cause or not.

And do have some confidence, honestly. If you wish for the rest of my images to be updated as well, simply ask. I will certainly manage either way, but what you fear is quite absurd.
Your studies are what you should be far more concerned with! I will handle things. Do NOT forget what is truly of the utmost importance!

I never thought I would see you saying that.

oh hey you ;D

[doncalamari]

[Oh. Hey Cthulhu. Sorry, Uncle Yog-Sothoth isn't all that happy to see you right now Mun is though!<3]

You would be surprised at how much inconvenience it genuinely causes when you are in a situation such as I.

<3

[Cthulhu however likes trolling Yoggie.]

Aw well I guess that's true. Haven't been put in a game yet but I imagine it'd be kind of stressful if everyone devolved into babbling lunatics when you're trying to get things done.

[doncalamari]

Precisely.

[He sighs]

My apologies for my informality. How are you faring otherwise?

[He is still family, after all, and would like to know if he's getting along alright]

[old_one_hero]

It's alright Yog, I know how you can get.

[He gives whatever the equivalent of a smile is for him.]

Pretty well, been seeing a lot of those trolls piling into the headspace.

[doncalamari]

Trolls? ... Of what sort?

[Hah, you're dealing with trolls and he's dealing with gnomes. That's funny]

[old_one_hero]

Oddly enough they're like us, just less terror and insanity inducing to humans.

They're aliens from another universe and they created the universe their humans live on.

[doncalamari]

... Are you certain?

I was aware the creation of the human's universe was due to a stable time loop, involving a time-travel device colliding with its singularity.

[No really, that's how it happened in his canon. It was a time-traveling spaceship, too!]

[old_one_hero]

Yeah I'm sure, I watched it happen with the mundane. He likes to have us look at other universes. It isn't the human universe like we know it though so maybe that's why we're confused Yog.

[doncalamari]

Oh, a divergent human universe from the one I am accustomed to then. My mistake.

[He's admittedly gotten a little too used to considering Papierwaite's universe as the default human one]

[old_one_hero]

Oh been staying in one universe for a few hundred years or so Yog?

[doncalamari]

Were you not aware? For nearly the past century and a half, my essence was summoned and adhered to the torso of a human necromancer!

[old_one_hero]

Yeah I had no clue. Think we're from a bit of a time discrepancy between the last time I woke up and when you were summoned to that world.

Also that explains why you're in that body.

[doncalamari]

I am in this form of my own choice. It is certainly not his body, if that is what you happen to be assuming.

[old_one_hero]

Oh okay I just kind of assumed from that explanation. Mun says I might end up doing that to someone of my own choice. Or at least the cultists will choose for me. Put some of my consciousness into some unsuspecting kid to try to bypass the waiting for the stars to align.

Normally wouldn't care but I've been hanging out with more humans on their level lately.

[danmakuboundary]

Pff. My mun truly needs to get on top of things. Two days you've been left without anything more than your actual family to discuss this with.

The way I see it, there's a clear border between the disaster and the insanity here. The disaster was perpetrated by someone quite sane, after all, if notoriously greedy... the puzzle-related problems should clear up nicely. Of course, if you mean the affliction you've stricken your own mun with...

In that case, I'm afraid to say it's a terminal condition with muns; they seem to refuse things that are crucial to survival in favor of their RPs... and Tumblr... and video games.

[doncalamari]

You appear to be rather well-informed about the situation. For how long have you been following the events of the City?

Also, I believe you just described my Mundane rather immaculately. Despite my encouragement and attempts to serve somewhat as compass to her, such nonsense unfortunately still continues.

[phantasmgap]

The boundary between mundane and muse is surprisingly easy to manipulate. I know what mine knows, and from that it's easy to connect the dots. To properly answer your question, though, I've been watching since before you shifted dimensions, though now I'm watching far more intently on account of nothing better to do.

[Translation: her mun dropped her from her own game.]

The problem is not in her morals, sadly, but in the very existence of muses. I've learned that this duality... makes a mun rather flighty in the head, let's say.

in which I fail completely at replying on reasonable time

[doncalamari]

While compared to certain others I have become acquainted with in her mind my essence had not been present quite nearly as long, I have more than become accustomed to her usual patterns of behavior... as well as her specific habits aside from what is merely common for young women such as her.

Of course, I cannot always read her completely without fail, as no human is irrevocably predictable. However, she claims we have a certain uniquely special connection... though her implications of that I find rather unsettling, and I am beginning to believe she is not just simply teasing.

boundary between fashion and lateness? ^w^

[phantasmgap]

Oh, it goes without saying. Those such as ourselves simply cannot be handled by those without that connection.

You of all people should be exceedingly aware of that - between herself and dear Anton, the only ones able to handle your power had already given up their sanity long, long before attempting to contact you.

I suppose so |D;

[doncalamari]

Unfortunately, that is most correct. Even my circles of followers who do still retain their sanity, relatively speaking, their behavior oftentimes range from disappointing to completely, utterly despicable and humiliating.

I can sense you are a being of great power yourself, as well.

[phantasmgap]

Naturally.

There is a reason I have interest in your world and at the same time enough sense to stay away, after all.
