The Adversary

Any/Pronouns An ancient entity born in the chaos of old, as universes began to form from one another. It possesses natural strength and “abilities” as you might say, making them nearly invulnerable.

Apparently I can sleep for weeks at a time now. That definitely isn't concerning.

At least my cat has an automatic feeder and water bowl, so she's fine.

And my ship is still in the middle of nowhere!

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

Speaking of, do you think your little kitty will be safe now? If so, I can return her to replace the… cardboard cutout of a cat? You must have weird dreams, Lyf!

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

Yes, you can bring her back. I'm not going to question the cardboard cutout thing.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

Don’t worry too much about it! Just, don’t have any dreams with lots of people…

…there’s only so much space for cardboard cutouts on your ship…

But the pizza is genuine sustainability :{

I don't care. I'm immortal, I don't need it.

I don't even think I need to eat anymore.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

I’ll gladly eat it!

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

You'll find it in the void of space, then.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

Nope!

The void of space begins to warp, as the Adversary forces the pizza back inside to eat.

Are you the one people were insisting were dead?

Thanks for the pizza, I suppose.

You— you are not dead, correct?

— @lyfrassireddatsct

I’m not dead.

Well- I’m not dead. But I’m not exactly Lyfrassir anymore, according to The Adversary. It’s complicated.

[lyfrassireddatsct]

Oh.

I.

Stell passed over the phone, when the pizza arrived. I was hoping--

I don't know what I was hoping.

What's it like, whatever you're. . . going through?

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

I have Lyfrassir's memories, I still kind of am them? What's left of them, at least. But now I'm also an Outer God.

I don't really know what to do now.

[lyfrassireddatsct]

. . . I am very tired today of people insisting that they aren't themselves anymore despite having the memories, bodies, emotions, and/or mental states of the people they used to be.

Nastya keeps doing it, about her and the ship we're docked with. Which is apparently her girlfriend. I have heard far too many conversations about it. Ship of Theseus metaphors. Commentary about a new person coming on board, too. It's gotten a bit much.

You are who you choose to be, identity wise. Make the most of it. Your past self is just about as dead as you would be if you'd transitioned. Congratulations. What would you have done with your life without the identity crisis?

Apologies. I. I am not having this conversation with Nastya herself. Not right now. But I could probably have phrased that better.

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

I'm both Lyfrassir Edda and Yog Sothoth now. It's not fun.

Apparently The Adversary knew the whole time and didn't bother to tell me.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

I’m noticing the tension in the room, so I’ll just watch at a distance.

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

Why are you here?

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

I SUMMON LITERALLY HALF OF EVERY SINGLE SLICE OF PIZZA FROM MY WORLD AND DROP IT UPON YOU

(Don’t worry, that’s only about 60,906 slices)

It crushes Lyf under the weight. They are temporarily dead.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

NOM!

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

The Adversary looks at life, her mouths stuffed with pizza:

Are you having fun?

NO!

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

Too bad, you’re missing out!

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

Pizza again? Okay! Throws a full pizza box at you

(This should become a tradition when a mechanisms blog hasn’t updated in 5 days)

PLEASE STOP WITH THE PIZZAS. I HAVE ENOUGH.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

Maybe I should stay quiet for 5 Tumbling days.

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

Gives Lyf a blended slice of pizza :]

And doesn’t blend them. Because they’re dead

- @blender-anon

I- this looks disgusting.

And I’m still not dead!

[blender-army]

We too, contribute some blended pizza slices. There’s one per each, and there are 20,000 of us!

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

I’ll eat it if you don’t want to, Lyf.

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

That it is! ;)

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

Ooo! Free pizza! Can I have some?

Please take as much as you want. I'm downing in it. Help.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

That’s ten slices for me! Oh, did you want help?

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

THANK YOU. People think I'm dead and are giving me pizza because of it. You'd think it'd be nice until you have so much pizza you don't know what to do with it.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

Btw, I’m getting another Lyf to eat the pizza! ;)

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

I don't care what you do with it, as long as I don't have to deal with it.

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

BRB, Im being summoned by a medieval wizard.

Suddenly, you get a vision of where the people in red disappeared to…

https://youtu.be/QDCPKBF7a1Q?si=zoh9TCpOvHqSUXmr

...what did I just witness.

@donkeyheadedadversaryofman is this something I have to deal with now? Weird visions?

[donkeyheadedadversaryofman]

. . .

Maybe.

[formerinspectorlyfedda]

You cryptic bastard. I don't know why I bother asking you.
