um anyway sorry
i know this has been a really bad day
but there's new stuff from thursday going around
shu probably saw it right?

[dendroculi]

It's definitely going around.

Livio, Shen Qingqiu, and Netzach all showed it to me. Separately.

[frogzoned]

What is it?

[roseoftexas]

[ shows frug phone: ]

it looks like they're really going for world erasure. they're really stubborn that way, aren't they? at least the winner can use their points to also bring others back to the realground, but i'm afraid i don't really think they'd be able to save too many unless they really work for it with how much it costs. what a shame, isn't it? i hope this group won't be anti-violence.

[honkinbigteeth]

so that makes it sound like we can save our worlds if
we get enough points to save everyone else too!

[dendroculi]

The problem is earning the points.

[honkinbigteeth]

i mean
well what do you mean by that nahida?

[dendroculi]

The bit about hoping we won't be anti-violence at the end...

It more or less confirms what people have been saying: that the points we earn from our tasks are much less compared to the points earned from erasure. If we're too pacifistic, we may not have the points we need to save anyone.

[frogzoned]

Oof.

[honkinbigteeth]

isnt this good?
we didnt know we can save other people
but we can!

[frogzoned]

If someone wins. And it sounds like you have to win by a good deal. Apparently the cost is high.

[roseoftexas]

Yeah. Oof.

[vibes silently in Upset]

[roseoftexas]

[ so same as usual then ]

[ohthehumanities]

Did we manage to confirm anything with the reapers about these messages?

[or were we all too insecure to ask]

[squirt]

i asked ruby if shed heard form her bosses about the last one
and not yet
ill try again tomorrow

[ohthehumanities]

Thank you, haru

[He'll let someone else answer Gerard for now because he doesn't want to think about it]

[dendroculi]

They told me that anything they had to say would be guesses, since their bosses aren't especially communicative with them. But that they did think that the winner's world should be safe even if someone who lost came from them... unless there were "alternate timelines or other variations".

But I'm going to be checking in with them to follow up later on as well.

[squirt]

[ well... he'll just ask. ]

you mean for cases like shenhe

[dendroculi]

For cases where anyone came from the same world. The way it only mentioned what happened to the worlds of those who didn't win was concerning.

[squirt]

what do you think alternate timelines means

[dendroculi]

My best guess would be if two or more people came from the same world and seemed to be plucked out of different points in time.

As an example... let's say that Kaveh and I didn't have memories that lined up with each other's. Let's say the last thing Kaveh remembered was the Interdarshan Championship, but the last thing I remembered was the Sabzeruz Festival.

Since we would both be here, it would be an undeniable fact that we both died. However, if Kaveh remembered me being alive during the Interdarshan Championship, that would be a contradiction. Our timelines would not be able to coexist, because in order for the me that only remembers up until the Sabzeruz Festival to be here, she would have died before any of that happened. But for Kaveh to remember me being alive and well would mean that our timelines would have separated.

It's only an example, though. I do remember the Interdarshan Championship.

I talked with Aika about mine. She offered a few ideas. One was that it could just be ... fuel for the fire, so to speak.

The other, of course, that it's real. So you know! One or the other.

[ohthehumanities]

[...........]

So we know nothing.

[great cool wow amazing]
