* Not truly present. Not truly missing, either. I can talk, I can call; I can look, I can hear. I love you. Please pick up. I love you, don't be scared of me. I just want to help you.
* This is sad. I just want to help all of you. I want to help, this is sad. Things shouldn't be like this. I've seen, a show. I've seen movies. I know. It should be good. I can help you. I will help. I have to help you. Please listen.
* Please listen.
Please listen.
Please listen to me. My voice. Please. Please. I don't, I don't, I, Please, please, please, please,

OOC FROM HERE AND ONWARD:
INFO ONLY USES THEY/IT PRONOUNS
š That being said! Hi -:D The profile picture and header are by @pottedgears, you should go check them out!
Basic character rundown:
I don't want to share too much, because I feel like that'd take away from Info's character - you're supposed to have no idea what the fuck their deal is - but, let's just say, they don't have a good grasp on how to talk to people. Or most social concepts. Or most concepts in general. Despite being an adult, they've had very little exposure to both darkner and lightner culture, and had their first conversation mere days from this post getting made. Keep in mind that they're very likely to become influenced by anything, because, despite their heart being kind, it's also very, very curious.
About mod:
Hi again, part two! I'm Kennit, I'm an adult and I use he/they/it pronouns; all OOC text will always have š before it! If you want to find my main blog, you can: not worry about it! That's just about all there is to know about me -:)
Rules:
No nsfw; too many blogs i regularly interact with are minors! Suggestive is fine, but I decide where to draw the line based on the situation
If you'll be bigoted in the asks i'll smite you ok?
Magic anons are allowed, but only as long as it's not your entire body and is instead a floating limb or a special gift; i reserve the right to not let you through if i deem it too much
You can flirt with The Thing but The Thing will probably not understand what you mean by this
* Hi. You don't know me, here, hi. I'm Info, my name is, Info. That's my name.
* I'm just here to, warn you. You shouldn't. You shouldn't have that, crystal. It's, a bad omen. It's, almost as if it's cursed.
* It shows people things. And it seems the things are different, and it seems that people get enamored by idea, and it seems it drives them insane. It's, not safe to have one.
* I'd say you should, break it, but then you'd have to fully smash it into dust, because otherwise, I think it'd just be more crystals.
* Please. I'm Info. I know things. I'm here to help. Please don't keep the crystal. Destroy it. Throw it out. Don't let anyone find it. Please. Battat. Mike. Pippins. Please.
* I would tell you all I know. About Mike. But all I know is that he's not, a good person. I've never seen him. But I've seen what he does to, people. Battat. Please.
* Whatever the crystal tells you, won't be much more useful than what I know. It warps the truth to fit, you. The holder. I think. I might be, wrong. It's hard to tell, when you can only see people from a three meter distance. Sometimes less. Usually more.
* Don't let it get you. Don't let it consume you. The freedom it promises is a lie. Whatever it is you see is a lie. You have to believe me. I'm Info. Please. Please. I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want anyone to get hurt. It has to stop. Please.
- @knowingmist
You know about Mike? What does he do? How is he a bad person? Who'd he contact? Where can I find him?
[* The shadow crystal is tucked away into a pocket for now, the only reminder of its existence being when it pokes Battat occasionally when he moves.]
And the crystal... who says I have it? You've only just showed up. You might be poorly mistaken and are looking for some other Pippins.
* I can see things, you know. I can see, most things. I can't see, Mike. But I can see, you, and I can see, that you're the only green pippins, on the whole set.
* I can also see, that you're reluctant to, trust me. But please. This crystal is, evil. It brings misfortune. Whatever benefits it could bring to your life will be, short lived, and it will end up being the reason your life, goes down the drain. Unless you destroy it.
* At least consider, my words. I've seen life after life destroyed by these. I can see, many things, even if, not all of them. I've seen too much pain be caused, by them.
* Because I'm scared. That I'll mess something up by being, direct. And also because I don't, understand, sometimes, when I'm being vague. But, I can try. Maybe.
* I've seen people. Get changed. Driven insane. By whatever they see in these, crystals. I'm not sure all see, the same thing, but all get promised freedom. I don't think that's what, freedom is. I don't think what happened to the others, was freedom.
* I think... I think they got driven insane by a promise of a freedom, that they would never be able to reach. I don't want anyone else to lose their mind at a possibility of a freedom that might not even exist.
* I don't know what they saw. But I do know that whatever it was, it was so compelling they ruined their life trying to chase it.
* Battat. You have no idea what you're toying with. Please. Battat, you really, really, really don't understand, I've seen people change, I've seen them fall from grace, I've seen them imprisoned, please. You have to believe me.
[* Battat inexplicably bursts into laughter, doubling over and only stopping once he runs out of breath.]
Oh my Toby... you're so funny, did you know that? I KNOW what I'm doing. I KNOW where I've left the crystal. I'll be back for it, but I don't know when. I don't even know if I'll USE it! Why are you so concerned, anyways? It's somewhere safe. Someone has to be a sacrifice somewhere, and it's not gonna be me.
* (They're silent. It feels as if they are hurt, but they say nothing. Quietly, they turn off the screen and back away from it, onto the next. None of their mouths are smiling. They simply hope that, despite refusing help, this pippins will not be a lost cause.)
* Hi. You don't know me, here, hi. I'm Info, my name is, Info. That's my name.

Iāveā¦ heard similar things. About bad stuff happening in the future and all. I know itās not [Satisfaction Guaranteed!], other universes have happier fates.
Butā¦ I am still scared. Scared of doing one thing wrong and losing it all.
I-i know I should be careful, but what if Iām too careful to take risks with a high reward, and I just rot in obscurity?
And what if itās not even within my control? What if a [Huge Data Breach] happens, and I canāt do shit to stop it?
ā¦fuck, Iām venting to some random guy with their own problems. How pathetic I amā¦
* It's not, pathetic, I don't think? I don't know. I don't really know. Anything.
* I don't have experience, with things. Any things. But, even when it's all very bad, you can usually, do at least something to make it less so. And I hope that, this is what I'm doing - making it at least a little less bad.
* ...
* The world is very large. I'm very large as well, but, compared to how large the world is, I am small. And you are even smaller. There's only so much one can do, and, when they don't succeed, that's fine, but you have to continue anyway.
* There's nothing to do but the best you can do, and after it's all said and done, things will just be the way they will be.
Youā¦ donāt have experience with anything? Are you a hatchling? If so, youāre oddly [philosophical], hahaā¦
And rot isā¦ well, when we die, our still bodies start to break. I meant it metaphorically, but Iā¦ sometimes I fear it happening to me in a literal way. Likeā¦ before my emergence.
I guess I can only do my bestā¦ but shouldnāt my best be good enough?
* I'm very old, I just, don't know anyone or anything. Or, I haven't known anything till just a few days ago, because I haven't seen anything. Or anyone.
* This is a good explanation! I've watched food rot before. It's hard to conceptualize even when you look at it. For me, anyway, because nothing seems exactly, like me. This far. Maybe I'll find something similar to me, later.
* ...
* All we can do is our best. I just, don't know, what our best is enough for.
So you hadnāt known anything until a few days ago? That still kinda sounds like youāre a hatchlingā¦ maybe itās like before my emergence, but for a longer period of time.
At least I know thereās others like me, even if it still feels [alone], and if the wrong person knew, Iād beā¦
* I'm older than, anyone I've ever talked to. By a, "landslide". I can't tell you how old exactly I am because I don't think it'd be possible for me to count, but I do know that, if there's 365 days in a year, I should be at least several thousand years old, I think.
* ...
* Although, I don't know about anyone else like me existing. I don't know if I'm the only one, but, even if I'm not, there's no real, information I could find, about ones like me. So maybe I am a, 'hatchling'. Although I don't think I hatched, I think I... poofed. Into existence. One day. A while ago.
* I think it's, okay, if you're different from other, addisons. I don't think it's a big deal. And, even if it was, you're still, loved by someone, right? That matters. To many.
* Everyone gets to be happy, even if just for a day at a time. Or less. But everyone gets to be.
* ...I hope I can be loved one day. I'd probably need to, be actually around people, but it's okay. I will be, one day, when I figure out how to leave. I know I can, somehow. Have a feeling. Just have a feeling.
...Thousands of years, huh. And you didn't [Talk on Chatrooms] with anyone or... anything for all that time? That sounds like it'd be hellish, haha...
I guess I'm [You're Today's Lucky Winner!] to be loved, heh. I... easily could've been left to die, or worse, have been killed the moment I emerged.
I hope you can be loved, too.
*Info was trying their best to be kind. Spamton knew that. It wasn't like they had much time to understand people.
*But there was one thing that bothered Spamton. Info seemed to know... a lot. At least that was what it seemed about them.
*But they were clearly not able to see everything. It wasn't them being unable to see Mike that tipped them off, he did apparently have some paranormal abilities, though Spamton wasn't aware of the extent, so maybe he was using some magic to hide himself.
*But at the very least, Info should've known that Spamton was not an Addison.
* It wasn't, bad. I didn't know that communication was an option that I had. So I didn't really, seek speaking, to anyone. I did seek to be around someone, but I couldn't explain it even to myself. Not because I didn't know any words - it was just something I lacked context, on.
* One day I will be. I hope. It's okay to be different and it's even okay to be alone because one day I won't be. One day, nobody will be alone. I hope. I'd say I pray, I've heard this before, but I'm pretty sure I can't go much higher in prayer.
* I... Good luck. I hope your, journey, through life, will be fine. I will try to call back later. There's so many monitors, and I can only keep up with so much at a time. Maybe I'll get better, later. I have all the time in the world.
* Actually, you don't know me, but I know you, so it's, okay. I'm Info. I help people, because I can see things, and... And some bad stuff will happen to you. If you aren't, careful.

* Oh, I see the stress meter too! It's, at the bottom left of my screen. But the other persons screen looked nothing like mine, so I can't verify...
* Speaking of, I noticed I made you stressed. ::::((( < a smily of me (I learned of them recently). Why did I upset you? Was I, scary again? I don't mean to be scary, it's just, how I am, I think? I don't mean to be the way I am. Do you mean to be the way you are? Genuine question, I don't understand things, often.
* I just want to help you, ok? I don't want anyone else to get hurt. My friend got hurt by one. I don't think he considers me a friend, but... But I am his friend. Promise.
- @knowingmist
* Sure! Sure, whatever! There is a "Stress" meter and everyone can see it, besides me! Apparently! Whatever!!
* What else is there, a sleep meter? So everyone can see my hours-per-day statistics!? Why not, everyone needs that info!!
> Stress: 40% -> 45% <
* I'mā
* Sigh. Okay.
* Say we got off the wrong foot. Justā don't do the text thing again. You know the one?
* I'm Info, I told you! I'm Info, my name is Info. I got it a few days ago, but it's nice. I like my name. I think.
* I actually, didn't mean to do the text thing, it's just hard to figure out how to stop talking on new devices... I don't actually have a, "keyboard", or a "phone", or a "pen", I'm just doing this... Intuitively?
* I'm, honestly just glad I'm not alone, anymore, so I don't care how much it takes for me to figure out the speaking thing!!!!!!! I like typing the most this far, though. It's easy and I can do :::::::)) < smily.
* ...
* If it helps, I see statistics on some of my other screens, too, so it's not because it's you? Nobody is messing with you specifically, I mean. I don't think. Not yet.
* ...I'll try to make sure nobody will in the future, but I'm only a voice. I'm. Only a voice.
* Say... Those, "other screens", you mention. Is there anything else on them? Wherever you areā wait, where are you, to have... All of that? Are you some kind of security camera? A computer worm, maybe...?
* Ahā I uh. I'm rambling. Guess I'll just wait for another message?
* I'm actually not, sure? Where I am? I've always been here, I've just only found the screens now. I've been floating for my whole life, and then I found screens, and I'm very happy because I get to not be alone.
* There's nothing here but darkness for... Infinity, I think. I still can't do time well - mentally, I mean - but it feels like I've been floating for longer than anyone I've ever talked to has been alive or dead. But maybe I'm just making this up on accident, because it's, hard to count, when you're alone, and there's no sun, and no... Anything else.
* Other screens! Right! Originally I was just watching a talk show with a guy, but he's been gone, and I've been lonely without me calling him, which is why I'm helping others... There's also just, security cameras, from all over the place - they're kind of hard to group together, because there's always many instances of the say camera, because of multiverse, and stuff, but I figured it out.
* There's sometimes weird cameras that follow, the heroes of the prophecy? They feel weird to look at, like they're not for me.
* I feel like I know your question, and I can't really, tell you who your Mike is. I just know that, in many other cases, he hurt people, and so I don't like him. I have seen some instances of him, but never by that name - it's still him, though, I think? It's largely based on... Something I can't tell you about, but mostly because I can't explain.
* I want to help. But there's only so much I can do, okay?
* Heh, hurt? Sure you got the right guy? Tenna talks like Mike is his lifeline, sometimes! (Which, probably isn't all that good, but...) So, you know, my point is... At least he's a decent person, right? I don't know, helpful? Funny?
* That's what my notes on his... "Character", say, anyway.
* (That's what we were going for, with the whole. Thing)
*
* Aaaaanyway, darkness is something. Familiar to me! You know, Dark Worlds? You sure you aren't a security camera yourself? Haha, uh. I'm pretty sure our family didn't have any, though...
*
* (Heroes of the prophecy? The "multiverse", again? What kinda Dark World is this?)
* He's, um. Charismatic? I think? I think that's the word. He's very, good, at fooling people, usually. It's. Not good.
* And, no, I'm not in a... Dark world. The closest I found to a place that seems like mine is, space, but there are no stars. There is no light, aside from me and the screens.
* I'm not... There's no ground. There's no walls. There's no trees. There's no doors.
* ...
* This isn't a dark world.
* ...
* Mike is usually... He lies to people, and then burdens them with, something. With 'freedom'? It doesn't, seem like freedom. I've only seen one or two people that were free, in my opinion, and they... Refused his. Advances.
* I think I'm free. But for the worst. For now. I will, figure this out, I hope. I want to see people... I want to hold someone's hand.
* And, I'm too large for a security camera, I think. It's hard to count, because there's nothing here, and it's hard to count because my body is never stable in form, but I'm at least a kilometer long, so I don't think I would make a good security camera. Sorry if that's, bad.
* I'm actually, not sure that Tenna actually knows Mike. This isn't guaranteed information. I don't know for sure, because Mike keeps to himself a lot.
* But I don't think they've actually... Ever truly spoken? I think he might just be, copying what he knows.
* I don't know for sure. Again. Mike is a weirdo. I think I don't want him to exist, but that's mean, so I try not to think that. I just wish the world was good. And overall not that bad.
* Oh, I see the stress meter too! It's, at the bottom left of my screen. But the other persons screen looked nothing like mine, so I can't verify...
* Speaking of, I noticed I made you stressed. ::::((( < a smily of me (I learned of them recently). Why did I upset you? Was I, scary again? I don't mean to be scary, it's just, how I am, I think? I don't mean to be the way I am. Do you mean to be the way you are? Genuine question, I don't understand things, often.
* I just want to help you, ok? I don't want anyone else to get hurt. My friend got hurt by one. I don't think he considers me a friend, but... But I am his friend. Promise.
- @knowingmist
* Sure! Sure, whatever! There is a "Stress" meter and everyone can see it, besides me! Apparently! Whatever!!
* What else is there, a sleep meter? So everyone can see my hours-per-day statistics!? Why not, everyone needs that info!!
> Stress: 40% -> 45% <
* I'mā
* Sigh. Okay.
* Say we got off the wrong foot. Justā don't do the text thing again. You know the one?
* I'm Info, I told you! I'm Info, my name is Info. I got it a few days ago, but it's nice. I like my name. I think.
* I actually, didn't mean to do the text thing, it's just hard to figure out how to stop talking on new devices... I don't actually have a, "keyboard", or a "phone", or a "pen", I'm just doing this... Intuitively?
* I'm, honestly just glad I'm not alone, anymore, so I don't care how much it takes for me to figure out the speaking thing!!!!!!! I like typing the most this far, though. It's easy and I can do :::::::)) < smily.
* ...
* If it helps, I see statistics on some of my other screens, too, so it's not because it's you? Nobody is messing with you specifically, I mean. I don't think. Not yet.
* ...I'll try to make sure nobody will in the future, but I'm only a voice. I'm. Only a voice.
* Say... Those, "other screens", you mention. Is there anything else on them? Wherever you areā wait, where are you, to have... All of that? Are you some kind of security camera? A computer worm, maybe...?
* Ahā I uh. I'm rambling. Guess I'll just wait for another message?
* I'm actually not, sure? Where I am? I've always been here, I've just only found the screens now. I've been floating for my whole life, and then I found screens, and I'm very happy because I get to not be alone.
* There's nothing here but darkness for... Infinity, I think. I still can't do time well - mentally, I mean - but it feels like I've been floating for longer than anyone I've ever talked to has been alive or dead. But maybe I'm just making this up on accident, because it's, hard to count, when you're alone, and there's no sun, and no... Anything else.
* Other screens! Right! Originally I was just watching a talk show with a guy, but he's been gone, and I've been lonely without me calling him, which is why I'm helping others... There's also just, security cameras, from all over the place - they're kind of hard to group together, because there's always many instances of the say camera, because of multiverse, and stuff, but I figured it out.
* There's sometimes weird cameras that follow, the heroes of the prophecy? They feel weird to look at, like they're not for me.

* Actually, you don't know me, but I know you, so it's, okay. I'm Info. I help people, because I can see things, and... And some bad stuff will happen to you. If you aren't, careful.
* I can't say for sure if your Mike is, a friend, or not, because I don't actually - I can barely ever see, him. But I do know that you should be, careful, careful, careful, very careful with how you treat fame - and, even if Mike offers... Remember that glass is easy to cut yourself on.
* Other than, that, I guess I'd say, don't stop talking to your friends, but I don't think you get a choice in that once it's down to it.
(They're seemingly about to hang up when they suddenly continue.)
* Oh! Oh, also! I've been, talking to people, a lot, and they always think I'm threatening. I'm not, I just, can't help but be, this way. Okay?

Iāveā¦ heard similar things. About bad stuff happening in the future and all. I know itās not [Satisfaction Guaranteed!], other universes have happier fates.
Butā¦ I am still scared. Scared of doing one thing wrong and losing it all.
I-i know I should be careful, but what if Iām too careful to take risks with a high reward, and I just rot in obscurity?
And what if itās not even within my control? What if a [Huge Data Breach] happens, and I canāt do shit to stop it?
ā¦fuck, Iām venting to some random guy with their own problems. How pathetic I amā¦
* It's not, pathetic, I don't think? I don't know. I don't really know. Anything.
* I don't have experience, with things. Any things. But, even when it's all very bad, you can usually, do at least something to make it less so. And I hope that, this is what I'm doing - making it at least a little less bad.
* ...
* The world is very large. I'm very large as well, but, compared to how large the world is, I am small. And you are even smaller. There's only so much one can do, and, when they don't succeed, that's fine, but you have to continue anyway.
* There's nothing to do but the best you can do, and after it's all said and done, things will just be the way they will be.
Youā¦ donāt have experience with anything? Are you a hatchling? If so, youāre oddly [philosophical], hahaā¦
And rot isā¦ well, when we die, our still bodies start to break. I meant it metaphorically, but Iā¦ sometimes I fear it happening to me in a literal way. Likeā¦ before my emergence.
I guess I can only do my bestā¦ but shouldnāt my best be good enough?
* I'm very old, I just, don't know anyone or anything. Or, I haven't known anything till just a few days ago, because I haven't seen anything. Or anyone.
* This is a good explanation! I've watched food rot before. It's hard to conceptualize even when you look at it. For me, anyway, because nothing seems exactly, like me. This far. Maybe I'll find something similar to me, later.
* ...
* All we can do is our best. I just, don't know, what our best is enough for.
* Actually, you don't know me, but I know you, so it's, okay. I'm Info. I help people, because I can see things, and... And some bad stuff will happen to you. If you aren't, careful.

Hmm. Do you do this out of a feeling of obligation? Or is someone making you do this š or secret third option?
* Hi! Hello! This is the first time someone spoke to me first, I'm very happy!
* As for the question, I'd say, it's partially obligation, but mostly it's just the fact that I, don't have anything else to do, here? Being able to call people at least gives me, something to do, and I don't have to just watch.
* And, considering the stuff I've seen on, some of the screens, I'd like to at least, soften the blow caused to all the people, that I see.
* Oh, I see the stress meter too! It's, at the bottom left of my screen. But the other persons screen looked nothing like mine, so I can't verify...
