THE SECOND TRY.

THE CURRENT KNOWN BEINGS:

OOC NOTE:

// Hi, sorry to break the mysterious factor, but I want to make it clear that this blog will contain heavy topics. Here is your content warnings:

Major gore (Seriously.)

Existential horror

Eldritch horror

Unreality

Abuse and Traumas

(TBA as needed.)

// Character interaction with other blogs is allowed, but Rat cannot leave where they are. However, if powerful enough, other characters visit in person. Keep this in mind. The world they are in is hostile to every person, including visitors.

// If Rat sends you an ask, imagine it as just a window with a video feed. You can see them, they can see you, but you can't really touch them unless you decide to visit.

[r4tinacage]

// quick OOC note to remember: rat uses they/them, please remember to use them!!

So, no screens or distorted voices? Got it! Thanks for the advice, B. I'll make sure to keep an eye out for those things and try to steer, uh... Rat, away from them if possible. I don't want something this avoidable to happen again...

However... I know we just met and I'm not trying to push any boundaries here, but... are you okay? You look tired, and you've got bandages all over. You're not hurt, are you?

Is the answer to the riddle, perhaps,

fear?

the inside of your eyelids?

gettin a bit abstract, but if it has to be somethin you can stare at, then thats the one that makes sense to me. If your eyes are closed, that's everything, if they're open than its nothing, they haunt you whenever you blink, and when you sleep your eyes are closed.

Hey, B? I- I think I can call you, B? Please correct me if you'd want to be called something else, your name is very important and I don't want to be disrespectful-

Uh, what's gonna happen to- god I feel bad calling them this- Rat? You seem more than aware of the... resets?- but I don't think they are. Are they going to forget everything when they come back?

Also, if it's okay for me to ask, who or what is 'it'? Should we be cautious of it?

[ ..If you even can. It's kind of.. well, everywhere. ]

[ Just don't trust any screens or distorted voices, and you'll be fine. ]

[ ..does anything.. scare you the most..? ]

- @r4tinacage

[ tw, fast moving image + eyestrain. ]

[ For a moment, BLUE is dead silent. There's a long pause between the question and when he actually speaks. ]

[ “ ...what? wha-wha-wha?? something that scares me the most? what kind of question... ? ” ]

[ The screen dyes itself in a sickly purple hue. Textures paint themselves across it, creeping and unwelcome. ]

[ “ something ... ” ]

[ “ that...scares me ... ” ]

[ “ the most ... ? ” ]

[ “ ... ” ]

[ “ ...nah. im used to everything by now. ” ]

[taking a shot at the riddle here- would it be a shadow? something always nearby, always dark, made up of nothing but cast by everything.]

[i had to consult some friends to try and puzzle this out, im not exactly the riddlemaster ^^']

[r4tinacage]

um... oops. i guess curiosity really did kill the rat...

but uh- hi! nice to see a friendly (i hope) face around here. you must be the "B" who left the note for rat! do you know what's like. Going On??

[ And, uh.. yeah. But I don't know if my name's that important. Everyone ends up forgetting it, anyway.. ]

[r4tinacage]

[ THE ROACH is available for questioning. ]
