that place is never cool so we agree

[princess_of_ida]

It tried to pull me into it when I neared its entrance. Reached for me with tongues. I looked directly into it once. My brain has decided it won't allow me to comprehend what I saw.

[cacotopia]

sounds about right
you say tongues but i'm gonna pretend it was tentacles
tonguetacles

[princess_of_ida]

A lot of teeth, too.

[cacotopia]

regular people teeth?
hope not because that's kinda cringe

[princess_of_ida]

All kinds in bizarre places. Along the tongues, in them, and the edges. Fucked up.

[cacotopia]

weird shit
well
glad you made it out

[princess_of_ida]

Thankfully I never went inside and was deft enough to avoid capture. I'd rather not repeat the experience.

Sometimes I wonder if this is where we are, on the other side of that stoma.

[cacotopia]

still have no fucking clue how we end up here
like, it's one place
everything around it is more fucked if we can even get there
you think the duchess is a goddess?

[princess_of_ida]

I've always believed that a god was just an extremely powerful being that could perform works vastly beyond the capacity of others, with a very good PR team, that limited their contact with the common person. By that definition, she is one.

By the definition others have presented... I don't know. I don't think it matters.

[cacotopia]

to me it does
but i get your point

[ If she was, all the devotion Rubeans give her would probably have made Petre explode by now. Somehow he feels that he can't be sure until he goes beyond that. ]

maybe someone trapped her in here

[princess_of_ida]

Most assuredly she's not here by choice. I wouldn't be surprised if she was banished. She certainly doesn't want to stay here.

[cacotopia]

she told you that?

[princess_of_ida]

She told us all in August when we first met her in person, that she is void-touched like us. She came from somewhere else and has been trying to ensure that the Rubean people will be able to survive without her presence.

[cacotopia]

[ Well then. ]

huh
guess that's one step closer to the banished theory
did she describe the place she came from

[princess_of_ida]

No, but I suspect she expects a fight when she returns.

[cacotopia]

and we're helping her power up

[ The eyes, or whatever that was. He only remembers the search for her heart and made sure he did absolutely nothing to contribute. ]

sounds about right
i wonder if ihutne would've done something like that
would that john guy do the same you think?

[princess_of_ida]

Absolutely.

[cacotopia]

figures

[ They're all the same. Sigh. ]

thanks for the chat ianthe
have fun doing whatever you're doing right now

[princess_of_ida]

I'm watching a goat. It's not fun.
