Once uppon a time this was an ask/RP blog for the character Nue Houjuu.  Now it's mostly just my ramblings about D&D.

"Did you know there's a service that will anonymously send glitter bombs to your friends?"

[magicaldreaming]

"Homosexual."

[asknueidentified]

"Okay... and? This is Gensokyo... isn't that the norm? Isn't that why Yukari needs to keep importing more Youkai? Cause we're not exactly making more?"

[madharemuses]

@asknueidentified replied to your post “"A new hex! When cast upon someone, it multiplies...”:

"So wait.... you're saying that it forces the universe to define 'you' with perfect precision? Merging all possible quantum states of you into 1 singular timeline? Making all of the various versions of you that exist in your head merge into some kind of theoretical eigen-self?"

​

"Um... what?" Too many big words for her.

[asknueidentified]

"...And that assumes the mathematical construct of 'you' is a whole number, and not some infinitely repeating decimal that would be prone to some kind of floating point multiplication error on the universe's part. Which would have to violate thermodynamics... which I suppose isn't a big deal, supernatural creatures like us violate thermal dynamics all the time... but you'd still functionally be changing the previously defined perfect form of you slightly due to the floating point error. Or maybe more horrifyingly it implies that all personal identities are possible to represent with whole numbers which while preventing the floating point problem, would implies that there's only a countably infinite number of possible personal identities, which means they'd all be possible to arrange and sort. Which sort of shoots the whole idea of free will in the foot."

"Never thought I'd see the day where a fairy invented a hex that could destroy the concept of free-will."

[madharemuses]

"D-does anyone here understand what she's going on about? W-what? H-help?"

This is the sort of thing that keeps the treasure chest guild so secretive, weirdos with questions like this.

[asknueidentified]

"What? Oh right. Sorry. I got a little distracted by the nightmarish possibilities your hex introduces. Anyhow... I wanted to know, does the treasure chest guild take requests? Do you do chest-adjacent things like drawers and other household containers? How much would it cost to have you load every drawer, chest, and similar container in Gensokyo with glitter?"

"Hi, NaN."

[asknueidentified]

"After 10,000 0.54 years I have awoken! Time to shit post and maybe throw dumb asks at people!"

[thathermitwiththehairpin]

"'tis a skill issue, they just gotta learn how to fly. Or at least float. Drops the mortality rate to two percent."

[asknueidentified]

"I mean sure? But I'm more interested in why someone's bothering to be that precise."

[asknueidentified]

"Did you know that the survival rate of a human walking unassisted through the forest of magic is exactly 50%?"

"Like... EXACTLY 50%... I've been keeping track for the last while... every time a human survives, the next one invariably does not. I'm pretty sure there's a youkai who either has a terrible or an amazing grasp of statistics messing with things..."

[asknueidentified]

"I don't get it. It's a story about a grubby street urchin with a poison fetish keeping a bunch of bumbling ignorant idiots from dying."

((Finished watching Apothecary Diaries. It's very good.))

[mountainofhistory]

"Huh? Well, no, that would require me to know how to make zombies in the first place..."

"I do know how to make a jiang shi army though. But you don't have to worry, because I'd never become a villain in the first place."

[asknueidentified]

"Hey now. Don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure you'll manage villaindom someday. You know that whole phrase 'die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain'? Well you're not dying anytime soon right? So have faith, you'll be a villain one day! Everyone who lives long enough achieves it sooner or latter!"

[mountainofhistory]

"Does that mean you know where I buried those bodies twenty years ago? Because I've completely forgotten and it's been frustrating me."

"...Of course this is the first thing you'd think of to ask. Once a youkai, always a youkai."

"I can't tell you where, I'm afraid. But I can tell you this, they're not in Gensokyo. If they were, I would know."

"I know where all the bodies in Gensokyo are buried."

[asknueidentified]

"So what you're saying is that if you ever decide to go full villain you'll be able to make a zombie army quickly."

[magicaldreaming]

"The best is getting a cream pie and the sticky filling squirts right in your mouth when taking a big bite." That's what everyone is talking about right?

[asknueidentified]

"My dear, sweet naive black/white witch... they're speaking in outside world euphemisms."

"They're arguing about which is better for general shenanigans, squirt guns or literally throwing cream pies at people."

[paradise-in-k4]

“Funniest thing actually. Turns out that, according to a couple of uni students that dropped in here last year, a gap’s recently opened up to a parallel Gensokyo. It’s currently in orbit around the peak of a mountain that’s appeared on the far west side of our Gensokyo, but the details are very fuzzy. The only things we could piece together out of it so far is that their Reimu’s been gone since that fight with Junko, and that their isolated world’s been slowly becoming unstable since their Lady Byakuren was unsealed.

According to a lot of the big names, this parallel Gensokyo could collide with ours if that gap collapses further. So… yeah, big incident might happen if we all don’t do anything. If it gets resolved, we might be able to close the breach. However, there’s already been notes of overlap happening, so… best thing we can do is hope we find a few rift-controlling beings that could stabilize it… or ask a group of fairies that’ve armed themselves with stuff from the outside world.”

[asknueidentified]

"Of course I'd wake up just in time for some apocalypse. And it's not even one that's in anyway my fault. I assume that whatever it is we need to do is somehow awful or difficult else we would have done it by now?"

[asknueidentified]

Did you remember to do your laundry?

"If by 'do my laundry' you mean 'weave new ones out of shadow, illusion and stitch it all together with seeds of unknown form' then no I didn't do that, too much work."

"But I also certainly didn't do my own laundry either. If I haven't done my own laundry in the countless years gone by, why would I start now?"

[asknueidentified]

Lily White has been placed into Nue's inventory. She grants the following properties to Nue,

When ever another object in the inventory is being grabbed, have a 25% chance to grab Lily White instead.

When trying to intentionally grab Lily White, have a 75% chance to grab a different object in the inventory instead.

"Wha... who dares disturb my slu.... bah... no matter... what's going on now...."

"Oh we're doing inventory mechanics now are we... well, that at least saves me from having to answer where I keep all my stuff in this pocket less mini-dress."

"I suppose the first thing to see is if the swap function allows for any RNG manipulation... next would be to see if I can use it for any item duping effects...."

[letsspringintoaction]

While there is an item duplication glitch Nue could do, the only item she can duplicate is Lily White herself, which serves no real practical purpose baring the potential to flood the world with enough Lily Whites at once to surpass the object limit cap that leads to Gensokyo hard Crashing to desktop. Good luck

[asknueidentified]

"I wonder if this is somehow tied to fairy respawning... could we potentially make a fork bomb fairy?"

"Buuuut, I sort of like living here. As interesting as it'd be to see what would happen after a hard crash. I'd best file a bug report with the gap sage."

[paradise-in-k4]

“Anyone’s guess, really. If I were to guess on who started this, I’d put some mon on Flandre Scarlet being involved to any extent. She has been seen splitting into four different sentient beings before, each with their own personalities. While useful for doing many things at once, it’s also really annoying if you’re trying to talk to her and you happen to find the ‘wrong’ Flandre. You’d be better off trying to take your matter up with the mistress or her head maid.”

[asknueidentified]

"Well, I suppose it's hardly my business what other people do with their other selves anyway. So anything change about Gensokyo while I wasn't paying attention? We still under the boot of our glorious red/white overlord? The taoists still causing problems?"

"At least SAY WHAT THE 'OTHERS' ARE"

[asknueidentified]

"You know... this is an awfully tempting opportunity to remove something from my bucket list.... but that'd require me instancing firefox... ehhhh not worth it just to add twenty illegitimate votes to the "other" column."

[asknueidentified]

"Then again... that whole swimsuit contest is apparently a thing again this year.... so maybe I should brush up on my ballot stuffing skills..."

"Meh... procrastination first, shenanigans maybe latter."
