(More stuff than most people are gonna care about ahead, you have been warned. [BRACKETS ARE FOR THE ADVOCATE] "Quotation marks, as always, for Tinrag himself.") TLDR: Two people now, a hatless Tinrag, and an Akrus advocate. ========================================= [WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---] "*ahem.* Do you mind?" [BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW THIS FEELS] "No, but I would rather have, and your rubbing it in certainly doesn't help the situation. May I begin?" [SURE SURE NO PROB] "So, for anybody wondering, there was a whole thing with the fish, where basically--" [MAYBE CROP OUT THE FISH THING WE DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ALL DAY] "...fine. Go watch Comment Adventures III on @Klabss profile for what happened." "...Watched it? Good." "So, the fish didn't just bring me back to life, it brought 'all past selves' back. So, here I am, an echo of the Tinrag that died against Blue. The Advocate filled me in, so I'm pretty much up to speed." [IT WASN'T EASY AMIDST ALL THAT SCREAMING] "I WOKE UP WITHOUT MY HAT -- THE THING THAT KEEPS ME ALIVE MOST EVERYWHERE ELSE -- AND FOUND A GIANT CRAB STARING AT ME. WHAT SHOULD MY REACTION HAVE BEEN, PRAY TELL?" [I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE RECOGNIZED OUR OLD BODY] "...which brings me to my next point. It seems that the form I SHOULD have taken when I first entered was the form of my species. At least, my species before the ascension (or whatever really happened back then)." [IT'S FANTASTIC I HAVE LIKE A JILLION DIFFERENT LIMBS AND MY MIND IS RACING LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND THAT'S A COMPUTER PROGRAM SAYING THAT] "But, due to my own stubbornness, I witheld myself from full emersion into candleworld. I kept my hat, my implant, my solitude, but lost the birthright of a pilgrim." [FORTUNATELY THE FISH'S DOMINION WITH THE DODECAHEDRON CRUSHED TINRAG'S PSUEDO-LAW STUBBORNESS TO A PULP WOOHOO] "... in a manner of speaking, yes." [SO WHY ISN'T TINY HERE A CLASSIC ASCENSION-ERA MODEL LIKE M'SELF HUH] "I was GETTING to that, Crab Cakes." "Unfortunately, there's only so much pilgrim to go around. I... think..." [REALLY THIS IS ALL SHOT IN THE DARK STUFF YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND FOR THE ACAE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED] "So, we've got a battle-ready pilgrim with all the fun and games that go with it--" [AND A TEENSY WEENSY ANTHRO-WANNABE THAT'S STUCK BETWEEN CRAB AND BIPED] "Who also has a lot more modesty, if you don't mind my saying." [MODESTY IS ALL YOU HAVE] "*grr...*" "On the bright side, that means I don't have to risk life and limb if I go out again. And with my new perspective on Candleworld, I'm knot about to go blow up needle-lessly again." [YOUR QUOTE UNQUOTE SLANG IS SHOWING] "Yeah, those depressing thoughts Blue sent me are mostly images of home. Skein alive do I miss those two..." [CLOCK'S TICKING BIMBO WE GOTS TO GO CHECK OUT THAT ONE THING] "Which, again, would be easier if I could move my hands." [OH CALM DOWN I'LL GET YOU SOMETHING MAYBE I'LL USE THE COMPONENTS OF THAT ONE MACHINE THAT UNCAREFUL PERSON MADE ME]
