Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

what can i say

i just couldn't handle life on the outside

i need the peace and focus that twitter jail gives me, specifically the peace and focus of not having to read twitter for a while

@Phorm That's Not How Any Of That Works(TM). :D

Today's mood: fighting the urge to argue with sweeties because their pessimism ain't helping anybody and it comes dangerously close to retriggering my own case of despair in remission.

C'est l'amour. It ain't you unless it is, and if it is, I still love you and am mostly mad at the forces that are doing this to us. Shrug.

@001zlnv there's a cyberpunk story about GMO cats with hypospray claws in here somewhere but i am not the one to write it

The ultra-seedy bodega down the street turns out to be running ELEVEN ghost kitchens on DoorDash, none of which have over a 3 star rating. FOUR of them are wing places with virtually identical menus.

I ain't even mad. I am impressed by their audacity.

my vaxx side effects totally disappeared while i was giving artie Epic Pets

and now they're coming back

truly cats are magical

(or maybe i was just distracted by warm nuzzly beige fluff, sweet bast, artie's the nicest supervillain 've ever met <3 )

actually i've been pretty happy with how not horrible this has been, it's just been some body aches and general yuck feeling and it might already be fading

@monsterblue this would probably be old-school BBS/message forum style RP, with (very very very roughly) biweekly or so posts of several paragraphs, so scheduling is not an issue-- I really want to return to my own personal RP roots here, and that was all freeform forum RP stuff

@zx3 this is very emphatically intended as a slow-paced "pose when the mood strikes you, and if it sinks it sinks" message board kind of deal. i sure don't have the executive function for a weekly appointment left. :>

@zx3 this is a VERY encouraging sign >:D

Oh, be warned that the base material I'm dealing with would definitely be in the horror genre. How intense it is can be geared to the players, but at the *very* least you've going to be captive lab specimens for a corporate cult.

This could get pretty dark but I can easily keep it to, say, DC Animated Universe levels of "dark" with most of the nasty stuff off-screen and an emphasis on cartoon TF "peril" instead of actual gritty danger.

But I'll be honest, I could use some catharsis and would be delighted if I got 4-8 volunteers whose hearts were all as vile and depraved as mine so we could go Full Cronenberg on this. XD

OK, I'm bored as hell and need a creative project that isn't Parallax. And I get the vibe that people could kind of use a distraction and an excuse for some social contact right now.

I have a campaign concept I've been rolling around for years. I've mentioned it here a couple of times: it's a "hauntological" furry psi-horror lab escape scenario inspired by the Prisoner, Scanners, Videodrome, and high-concept techno-horror movies.

I would be willing to do a really lazy attempt at running this, for anyone who's desperate enough to put up with the world's flakiest GM. :)

I generally trust anyone here to know how to RP, so this would all be storygame-style, with a lot of narrative flexibility. I have a half-assed idea for a quick and dirty system, or I could just break down and learn the FATE system. We'll talk out the details if it gets to that point.

Zero guarantees, but I wanted to at least start gauging interest. This is kind of a Hail Mary play, but it sounds like we might need one after the last couple years. <3

(non-joke cw: surgical tools and a faint air of menace)

@LexYeen I consider that one of my core skills and am really happy other people value it. It comes fast when >50% of your media tastes are... deliberately hard to love. You learn not to judge. :)

@001zlnv Is that in the legal sovereign sense, or is Wayne Manor defying basic laws of physics?

@Soreth

I did at least leave you a poem in their place...

This Is Just To Say

I have spared
you from
the obligatory
WC Williams reference

that which
you were probably
expecting
from me

You're welcome
it was too easy
so obvious
and so trite

@Soreth That was me. Don't hit or yell. 🐯​

@Soreth Sinister dopplegangers of oneself from the dark void count! I'm shocked to see this kind of prejudice out of you! D;
