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.

[faithkept]

[A bit of exhaustion as he thinks of how weird and useless his own ability was.]

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

[recession]

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.

[faithkept]

Oh, yes, that was very good to have... [THEY'RE ALL SO INTO COMPLETING THIS CHART.] The timing, though?

[recession]

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.

[faithkept]

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...

[recession]

Mhm. And then of course, the week I became convinced to join the proceedings, my ability wasn't as disruptive as it could have been.

A good thing in the grand measure, of course.

[ Imagine he had bloodthirst on his kill-week. ]

[faithkept]

[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.]

[recession]

[ If I had it I definitely would've used it to cause some disruption. Probably on like Friday though. ]

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

[faithkept]

[valid of you it's a hilarious power.

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.

[recession]

[ Smiles... in pain... becomes Harold... ]

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.

[faithkept]

[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.

[recession]

[ Who the fck is Beth if it's not Boothill!! ]

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.

[faithkept]

[BETH WAS BETH BEFORE BOOTHILL WAS BETH.]

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.]

[recession]

[ OK ]

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.

[faithkept]

[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...

[recession]

Best keep an eye on them just in case. Never know when they'll just decide to find a life of their own.

[faithkept]

Thank you for the warning... [Takes another bigass sip of his stress drink.] Really, I wonder what the point of them is at all. I'd have thought they were solely related to the cult, but if we're still getting them here, that can't be the case.

[recession]

For a jocund moment?

I think I've only gotten affected by one of them once, and I was in a good mood for about half a day, albeit forced.

I've also used an item to create some food for Izutsumi, so.

[ His experiences of curse have been mild at best. Nothing interesting has happened to Daan. ]

[faithkept]

Ah... Someone used that on me, as well.

[But there's a sharp spike of something unhappy because they used it on him at a hilariously inopportune time.]

And that curse on Wednesday that made me so cold. [WHY!] The timing is frustrating, but I suppose comparatively, we've both gotten off relatively lightly.

[recession]

Both of mine were relatively early. Izutsumi's hatred curse, and the cheeriness both happened on the two earliest Mondays.

[ W0 and W1... funny. But he's thinking about... Lavi... ]

Good to not be a popular target. Juggling three or so at once must be a nightmare.

[faithkept]

[HELP sweet Daan... He's also thinking about Lavi though. Good lord.]

...Yes. Even just the one was a headache... I wonder how many of those are accidental and how many are intentional, when it comes to the people who seem to be hit more often.

[recession]

I'd rather not think about that too hard.

[ ENMITY... IN THE CAMP! ]

[faithkept]

[MAKE A NEW MORTAL NEMESIS TODAY!]

Fair enough. There are bigger issues at hand, anyway, outside of who's willingly making someone else's day just that much more tiring...

[recession]

Let's just presume it's all accidental, for our own sakes. Unless you want a distraction from everything else by finding which bastard... I don't know, took your eyebrows.

[ Gale getting punished for bullying a teen is still so funny. ]
