Feel free to use this post as an event catch-all for any misfires, island-wide broadcasts, or glitching Stone shenanigans you'd like your characters to get up to! Remember that the Stones of Farspeech do not currently have a texting feature...but that doesn't mean the screen they use to display Caller I.D. can't display text, on occasion. Bear in mind that this screen is small and therefore has limited display options.

If you have any questions, feel free to look over our OOC event post here, and ask any questions as needed!

eudaimonikos: (and in the end)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-23 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
...oh.

[It's a pained sound, as the memories strike him all at once. He hasn't thought about those times for a while; Michael isn't one for looking back. But oh, he hated Eleanor. She'd been everything wrong with his life, all of his mistakes wrapped up in one little human, smugly tearing him down at every turn. He wished he'd never chosen her. He wished he'd met her earlier, at his old job.

He never hurt her. Michael's grateful for that now. But he'd wanted to.]


Yes, that...was.
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-06-26 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[...Huh. Well, Erika isn't totally sure what response she was expecting there, but that sure wasn't it.]

...'Least you know. This one of those gods getting up to some kinda bullshit, then?
eudaimonikos: (and in the end)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? Sounds like you might've heard one of my...personal logs, from a couple centuries ago.

[Two, maybe? Or even more - his anger had been brightest early on, before he sagged into resignation. Michael's tone is still subdued, but he's trying to keep it brisk. Best way to put all that out of his head is to keep pushing forward.]

I can't delete any of them yet, they're still on my phone. I haven't heard it playing... [Should he password-lock those? His phone exists on another plane of reality that's tethered specifically to him; any further levels of security had seemed a little excessive.]
bitch4bitch: (i'm not saying it looks better on me)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-11 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
What-- okay, first of all, I'm gonna need you to confirm that you did just say it was from a couple centuries ago. [It's not that she doubts it; there are all kinds of ways someone could live for multiple centuries, and that's only looking at her own world.]

Second - if your phone's all busted and shit, which I'm guessing it is given where the fuck we are, how would it be playing old logs at all?
eudaimonikos: (consequences)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-11 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, about three.

[That isn't, in his opinion, really the point here.]

Oh, it still plays videos fine. Just showed a guy a movie a few days ago! I didn't check the logs, but I don't see why those would be corrupted.
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-14 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Shit. Okay, well, good to know. [Information for later: This dude is old as hell.]

Oh, dang, alright. I guess, uh-- might wanna check those logs and see? And maybe clear 'em out if you got... y'know, anything else super sketchy in there.

[Another pause.]

Hang on, how do you have crap from three hundred years ago on a phone? Like-- what year is it where you're from? This some future crap?

[Just layers and layers of WEIRD SHIT.]
eudaimonikos: (out of my body)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-14 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I can't do that. I need them as evidence for something I'm working on right now. Was working on, before all this island stuff...

[But he'll pull them up just to see if there's any evidence of tampering. They're already password-locked, so...not much more he can do to secure them.]

It's - well, we don't really have years. It's Jeremy Bearimy.
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

i'm sorry this was the only thing i could do

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-15 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Who the fuck is Jeremy Bearimy and what does he have to do with the passage of time.
eudaimonikos: (as you can)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-16 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[..........]

I don't know how to explain this without a diagram.
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-18 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's promising. Can you give me the kindergarten version, or would that just need a smaller, more colorful diagram?
eudaimonikos: (no exit)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-18 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
We don't have years, because our timeline is shaped like Jeremy Bearimy. The Y connects back to the J, it's sort of a big cursive loop.
bitch4bitch: (i'm not saying it looks better on me)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh-- okay, that makes more sense. Kind of. [As much as could be expected.] So, three hundred years wouldn't mean like - froooom 1700 to 2000 or whatever so much as just, three hundred times around the loop?

...Assuming the loop takes... equivalent to year.

[Looots of assuming involved here.]
eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-20 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'd estimate it's longer, but that's generally right. Earth's timeline goes straight on alongside, we can sort of dip in whenever.
bitch4bitch: (i'm not saying it looks better on me)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-25 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
So you are not from Earth, good to have that confirmed.

[That said, though, she can't think of a whole lot of positive reasons for extraplanar beings to be interacting with Earth, so there's a bit of an edge to her voice when she adds,] Why exactly would you be 'dipping in'?
eudaimonikos: (ethics without principles)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-25 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't be, normally. You need judicial approval to go to Earth, and that's an almost impossible process. But I've been, a few times.

[And none of that was actually an explanation about why. Instead he pulls a little keyfob out of his pocket, attached to a little frog keychain.]

Got the key right here! [He grins and clicks it twice, to absolutely no effect.]
bitch4bitch: (i'm not saying it looks better on me)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-29 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
What for?

[Nope, she's not dropping this.]

Thanks for confirming you got a useless Earth-key, though, maybe one day it'll turn out to be the key to get us outta here, too. [She can hope!!]
eudaimonikos: (and I'm on that faded love)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-29 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I altered the timeline so my friends would never have died. Went and saved them myself!

[If he sounds like he's puffing up over that, he absolutely is. It made him feel like a hero.]

Yeah, it quit working when I got here. But I try it sometimes, when the weird things are happening. [you know, just in case?]
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-07-31 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Cool. Is that, like... allowed? [What are the time travel rules, she's sure she's seen this shit play out in some movies.]

I mean, y'might as well, right? Worst-case scenario, it just... keeps not working.

Unless it has some kinda reaction with the magic here or whatever and just, fucks something up catastrophically, but that doesn't seem super likely so far.
eudaimonikos: (give me a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-07-31 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I got judicial approval for that one.

[Not for any of the subsequent ones, technically, but you know what fuck the police]

I don't think it will. Either this place can't support its type of magic, or it's specifically keyed to open a portal to Earth from the afterlife. I tried it that one time when people were getting weird powers, still didn't work then.
bitch4bitch: (you smell like beef.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-08-02 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, nice, for a moment there that was sounding like the kind of shit that might just bust up... time for everyone.

Sucks. Guess it figures it wouldn't sync up right, since-- hang on did you say afterlife? That's where you're from?
eudaimonikos: (and I'll tell you that I am fine)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-08-02 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah.

[Did he not mention that before? He guesses he didn't - although it would've been relevant.]

I'm a demon. Thus all the...past torture.
bitch4bitch: (you smell like beef.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-08-06 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
For real? So, like, the actual-Hell kind of demon, not the extraplanar kind.

[Wait, fuck, that might not make sense huh.] I mean, we got demons where I'm from, is the thing, but I don't think the place they're from is like... the afterlife. It's just where they live.
eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-08-06 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, no, we are extraplanar. Hell's the extra plane. And Heaven, they're connected.

[Honestly, all of what she's saying sounds like it applies to him perfectly? Except for the dead humans ending up there.]

We're far older than humanity, but they did end up getting routed to us after we die. I wasn't involved in the original setup of the afterlife system at all, can't say how they settled on the current dichotomy...other than the general temperaments of everyone involved. [Seems natural that demons would want to torment, and angels...he's not sure they do anything, actually, but they don't actively torment.]
bitch4bitch: (got no fuckin steps.)

[personal profile] bitch4bitch 2019-08-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so that's-- that actually does sound kinda like the situation back home. [Cool, connected heaven and hell planes she can understand.]

That is fuckin' wild, though, like... I mean, I don't know if the Heaven and Hell where I'm from got any dead people in 'em? Still got people arguing on that one. So that part's more the... the religious ones that we're not sure are the same as the planes we know are there?

[Once again, she finds herself wishing her nerd-ass cousin were here. Grant could probably explain this better.]

...Quick question, what do you look like?

[He doesn't SOUND like his flesh is an ever-shifting unstable mix of matter and black magic.]
eudaimonikos: (consequences)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-08-11 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
An older white guy, right now.

[this is our reminder that Ted Danson is like 71 and still looks like that?]

In general, more of a multidimensional...thing.
