Why don’t you update more?

((Three main reasons:  One: What are you, a cop? Ehe... Two: We're overwhelmed with all the asks we're getting! It's amazing getting all these asks, and it's also hard to keep up with everything at once. And Three: Not all of us are able to consistently have access to a computer or other device that lets us upload. Thanks for your honest curiosity! We’re working on a bit of a backlog, lol, so here we go--- [>]u[<]

¿Necesitas comer? si es así, ¿qué comes? y si no puedes comer?

[Teresa glances down at a slip of paper.] 

TERESA: 1T S4YS: “DO YOU N33D TO 34t? 1F SO, WH4T DO YOU 34T? 4ND 1F YOU DON’T 34T?”

[There is a pause. Teresa’s eyes slide over to a bag of raw sugar.]

[Jump cut to Teresa pouring the entire bag of sugar into her mouth. Remy and Zora are sharing a lollipop. Mestek is crunching on a bag of Barbecue Chips. Meanwhile, somewhere else, Alpha is enjoying a fine meal of steak and chocolate cake.]

MESTEK: -^v- Short answer: Yes, we can! We suspect that being dead means we have no need for normal bodily functions, meaning we don’t ever get hungry. But we can eat and taste stuff, it just doesn’t have an effect on their ghostly bodies.

ZORA:... 

[averageriot]

How big is gap in the time between when you were alive and dead? (what time is it now?)

TERESA: 1T5 B33N M4YB3 H4LF 4 SW33P FOR M3. DUNNO 4BOUT 3V3RYON3 3LS3 THOUGH, 1 TH1NK HOP3S B33N H3R3 FOR M1LL1ONS OF SW33PS HON3STLY.

RUNE: …. it has been three years since I ascended and made my way here. at least that’s my perception of what time has passed.

ALPHA:  I'ma Be Real Chief I’ve Got No Fuckin Clue. [He shrugs.]

REMY: I’m… not really sure how long it has been since… I don’t keep track of time. Sometimes, it feels like everything is so long ago, a distant memory. Other times… It feels like a fresh wound, burning every nerve of my existence. Zora… She… She makes things easier.

MESTEK: -^v- Bold of you to assume I know that. I’m a technical genius, not a chronal genius.

ZORA:  … I honestly don’t know. I stopped caring a long time ago.

[averageriot]

Are all of your problems fixed? if not what's wrong with everyone?

[Teresa makes an awkward noise, blows air out between her teeth and looks away.] PL3NTY. 

[Rune remains silent. She isn’t really comfortable talking about her inner struggles.]

ALPHA: Not… Not Really… And I Don’t Think People... Are Willing To Fix It… They Kind Of Want To Move On- W-Which I Get But, Not Really Doing Anything Um. It Isn’t Helping. [He looks like he’s trying to be happy, but it kinda seems like he’s holding back tears.]

REMY: Living on after death… Well, it feels like what you imagine purgatory would be like. Ghosts with unfinished business, but not quite sure how to “finish” that business. Or maybe that’s just me waxing poetic.

MESTEK: -^v- I’m fine, personally! (Aside from, ya know, everything involving my relationships.)

ZORA:  … There. Is. Nothing. Wrong. With. Me.

[averageriot]

Bro why so glum? It’s the afterlife yo! Undead party!

[averageriot]

what do you guys do now that you're dead?

HOPE: I’m solving all my old mysteries! (Even if I don’t remember anything about them…)

[Hope seems confused.]

MESTEK: -^v- My first thought on things to do would be repairing the rifts between my quadrantmates, but uh… I’m losing hope on that. So I may just start exploring the bubbles.

[Mestek seems sad.]

Alpha: Sometimes It Get’s A Little Difficult When.. Everyone Around You Is Dead But- Everyones… Still Here Right? We’re All Still Friends So.. Even If We Are Dead... No Matter What We Kind Of Have Each Other. I Don’t Know About Everyone Else… But I’m Fine With That. [Alpha seems content.]

RUNE: ….. I have to find another session. I just… I don’t know where to start. I only managed to get to this recent one due to my session’s light player and his guidance. until I connect the dots, I’m going to be here.  in the veil of dreams… 

 [Rune looks like she’s struck with grief…] 

TERESA: OH, YKNOW, RUN 4ROUND, 4VO1D MY QU4DR4NT PROBL3MS, W4TCH 3V3RYBODY MOP3 4ND Y3LL 4T TH3M 4BOUT 1T, SOLV3 SOM3 MYST3R13S, D1SCOV3R MY S3XU4L1TY, YOU KNOW HOW 17 1S

[Teresa is… Teresa.]

REMY: …

[He seems distraught. Zora steps up.]

ZORA:  Remy is still trying to recover from the damage he did alongside the torture of Lena. He spends most of his time around me, and tries to avoid Mes since he still sort of sets off his PTSD.

ZORA: …

[She doesn’t want to talk about herself.]

CASS: Ah… not much, to be honest. I hang around with Gal and Aejaks still, but that’s about the extent of it. I still talk to the others, but… not as much, y'know?

[Cass seems alright.]

[averageriot]

so how did you all die?

[Zora is looking down, a scowl on her face, Remy holding her. Mestek steps forward, looking a little worried, before sighing.]

TA: -^v- Rune is still alive. When we heard the news of the Scratch, Teresa killed Hope and then herself. Tarbhi was lost to the void… 

[He looks contemplative and sad.]

TA: -^v- The rest of us got hit by the scratchy wave, and then… well, we woke up dead. If anyone else died in a different way, I sure don’t know. 

[A shrug.] 

TA: -^v- I wasn’t exactly the most sociable, outside of my own little group.

[averageriot]

OH MY GOD YALL ARE BACK

((We most certainly are! It took a good bit of waiting lol, but we took care of the problems-- And we’ll try to be far more consistent in answering asks from this point on! Thanks for noticing that we are, indeed, back!))

Heya guys!! Welcome to Earth C: Ask Again... Again!! So, in case you’re wondering, this blog did in fact die for a while there. We kind of drifted apart and forgot it existed, lmao. So, now we’re back! We cleaned out the askbox, made a few new rules, lost half the members, and decided we’re not going to draw for every ask anymore because that was a motivation sap. So yeah, now we’re back, alive n shit, send in asks! Do be aware that not everyone’s here, and also that everyone is now officially dead so that we can explain people being missing as dreambubble fuckery. Send in asks! (seriously, do it.) - Mod Teresa
