DDD: Party for no discernible reason other than the White Text Guy having said so.



Whether you were invited, came of your own volition, were dragged here by some weirdos in green, or just popped up in the classic "community made you do it" fashion, you are now in THE FELT MANSION. And since Doc Scratch is and will always be an excellent host, you can count on having good food, drinks, and party games aplenty.

There isn't much he can do about the TIME SHENANIGANS, though. But you can steer clear of those if you know how. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid the mansion's collection of A THOUSAND CLOCKS.

(Speaking of time shenanigans, you may also want to refer here for a rough explanation of what those shenanigans might be. But don't worry about it too much, really. You can just say something if you want to run into a Felt NPC and, hopefully, the shenanigans will be immensely fun for all.)

You should also feel free to START ANY NEW THREADS.

That makes basically no sense at all. Which means it's not surprising for a duck party.

[grimdarkseer]

It has something to do with maintaining the timeline. My understanding is that the future affects the past just as the past affects the future. That the future dictates that we have attended this party, for us to have not attended would have caused a paradox.

Which isn't to say our host doesn't have another agenda for inviting us here.

[bittymatou]

That's even more stupid than what I'm doing back home.

Oh well. [He sticks his hand out for a shake.] Matou Shinji.

[grimdarkseer]

And what might that be?

[She accepts the offered hand. At least he has manners]

Rose Lalonde. A pleasure, circumstances excepted.

Virtual reality tournament for the holy grail, taking place in a high school, where you summon dead heroes to fight for you. On the moon.

[grimdarkseer]

Oh, and here I was expecting something unusual.

[Feel the sarcasm]

I'd like to say that strikes me as unbelievable, but considering I'm playing a video game that destroyed my world and serves to create a new one, I'm not really in much of a position to protest the ridiculous.

[bittymatou]

Personally I think the weirdest thing I've encountered is this community, but hacking the moon is pretty close.

[grimdarkseer]

I'd be quite surprised if anyone thought hacking the moon was an everyday occurrence.

[bittymatou]

Maybe if you - nah.

Anyway, nice to meet you.

[grimdarkseer]

Please, don't feel you have to hold back on my account. You know of a world where that sort of thing would be classed as anything other than weird?

[bittymatou]

I was thinking that maybe if you were an alien, that'd be closer to normal.

[grimdarkseer]

I suppose that would depend on what kind of alien.

[bittymatou]

I haven't met too many kinds.

[grimdarkseer]

How long have you been part of the community?

[bittymatou]

About two months now, I think.

[grimdarkseer]

Hmm. Long enough, I suspect, to appreciate that not every member is human.

[bittymatou]

I guess so. It's still pretty weird.

[grimdarkseer]

That I won't deny. Still, it sounds as though you're at least used to weird.

[bittymatou]

I can't imagine anyone here being normal.

[grimdarkseer]

I expect that very much depends on your definition of normal.

[bittymatou]

...I'm not even sure what that is.

[grimdarkseer]

Well, there must be some base line you consider to be the average for your environment, around which you can discern what is weird and what isn't.

[bittymatou]

Then we get into a whole conversation about apocalyptic scenarios and it's really boring.

[grimdarkseer]

You too, huh? That seems to be remarkably common around the community.

[bittymatou]

We should have a club. Share tips and everything.
