Oh...? [He assumes Daan just means he's a naturally pessimistic person so he was dealing doubles, but that is such an ominous way of phrasing things.]
Well... I suppose so. "Paranoia" seemed to be one of the later emotions that was common among the afflicted, though. I don't recall experiencing much of it, myself.
I wouldn't say paranoia didn't apply to me, but I do think it's hard to discern affliction from my regular state given everything I'd been through up until that point.
[ Sometimes you see horrible cat demons in your peripheral vision by default! ]
I'm feeling more back to my old... usual self, whichever term fits best for the situation.
And distinctly lacking in any unpleasant mental effects caused by the ditto, yes. The ability was somewhat convenient, but not enough for me to wish it back.
Essentially, yes. Granted, I feel like the timing of my boons could've been better, but glad I could help fill out the remaining of your handy list once I got here.
The only ability I feel I was able to make full usage out of was the golem's. Everything else, I either didn't feel inclined to or it was effectively useless for what I wanted to achieve -- such as gaining the bloodthirst curse, or becoming able to fabricate evidence.
Oh... [HIS BLOODTHIRST CURSE he's tired.] Yes, it does seem as though there were quite a few abilities that were specifically designed to be harmful or a nuisance. Unsurprising, given the source, but...
[STOP IT'D BE SO FUNNY i should have buttdialed it in during my kill.]
A good thing, indeed... As far as good fortune goes, it does feel a bit strange to say "I'm quite lucky that this or that thing didn't happen while a monster was possessing me", but it's very true. For my part, I'm glad that the ability I had was relatively useless for my monster...
[It would have been so funny though. SO FUNNY. i aki think that, Lucas just thinks it was gross.]
There's a little soft huff of laughter and a faint feeling of wry amusement.]
That's true. Many of us since long before this place, I suppose. [When being kidnapped by a cult is just a continuation of your cult life or your kidnapping life or your cult kidnapping life or the 50 other flavors of bullshit going on here.]
A rest would be nice, for everyone. Though I suppose that's what Wednesday was for.
[DON'T BECOME HAROLD or do and join larry karl beth and dad]
It was... And I do agree. [He could barely manage it over here but it had been such a healing experience.] They seemed to hold themselves together well enough during theirs, but their energy is certainly dropping.
Energy's been low for a while now. Barely could even muster showing up for the fourth one, just plain didn't for the fifth. Especially once it occurred to me that there's no objective reward for doing them outside of prank goods.
At least the ones over here do seem to have a bit more worth in that regard.
[beth here since before we invented the bethless hotsprings... ALSO LISTEN. I WILL.]
...Oh. [WELL. That does make sense compared to being like "my god, people keep turning randomass fuckers into children at the worst times for no reason".] I suppose I've gotten lucky, in that case. I still have all of mine...

[ Dropping his gaze a little, looking at some nondistinct corner. ]
After all, in a sense, I was doubled up on it and while my skepticism would've possibly been less, but nonetheless remained.

Ah. ...Well. [WELL!!!!] Perhaps it just takes advantage of the feelings you may have already been harboring, in that case...
no subject
...I'd say that's likely, yes...
no subject
...That and the bloodthirst, I suppose. [HE'S ASSUMING THAT ONE WAS UNIVERSAL AT LEAST.]
no subject
Well, anyway. I assume you're free of it now.
no subject
[Of the monster bloodthirst... anyway......]
As you are, certainly? Given our ties are all severed.

no subject
No, the negative effects were certainly not worth any of those abilities... Yours allowed you to borrow anyone else's, correct?

A good thing in the grand measure, of course.

Small blessings, Mr. Proust. [ This is on purpose. ] We've been forced to count them where we can for a while now.

It was a surprisingly pleasant Wednesday, wasn't it?
Rewarded for drinking and dancing. Only could've happened on this side, I wouldn't have mustered the strength to over there at this point.

Yes... We do have our tomes and the strange charts, at least. [Which is enough incentive for him to participate even if the charts are fckin WEIRD.]
And the prank goods, too, though I'm not very fond of them. I do wish people would stop using them...
[HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BUTTDIALINGGG.]
no subject
I'm pretty sure you can just end up using them accidentally. They're fickle that way.
[ START BUTTDIALING, AKI. ]
Noticed one of mine went missing one day abruptly. Not that I cared much about it, forgot what it was about. Parrotry, I think it was.
