PUBLIC BROADCAST DIRECTED TO NINE DROPS OF IRON, RESTART THE CYCLE AND MONARCH TO NONE FROM KEEPER

... scan complete, containment complete, and rehabilitation in progress.

entity commonly known as: The Starving Flesh

entity's true identity (from the parallel) Nine Drops Of Iron.

detail lowered for viewer safety.

it is not pretty, and i thought long and hard if i should show the scan to you, drops. i ultimately concluded to show you the truth.

@restart-the-cycle @monarchtonone @nine-drops-of-iron

[nine-drops-of-iron]

I . . .

Is that me?

. . .

I think I'm unnerved for the first time ever.

[keeper-of-magic]

i completely understand the unnerving nature of this form. you gave me quite a bit of trouble in the parallel, and nearly managed to kill one of my messengers.

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Well then.

At least it's not lacking in my ferocity, that's something I can be proud of. (Though almost killing one of your messengers would . . . not be good for you.)

[keeper-of-magic]

honestly, if one scream from that middle mouth was able to nearly kill the fucking rainmaker, it is a testament to just how powerful you got during your rampage.

RCS: Hello? Uh, Feathers? That's your name, right?

RCS: You want a slugcat to deliver you medical supplies? Because from bits and pieces of broadcasts I randomly catch I DO NOT THINK YOU'RE WELL-

<TSF> rcs.. you're one of dews friends, right? he mentioned you a couple times.

<TSF> i

<TSF> ...i'd like some help, yeah. please

[significantly-important-utility]

@reflectionofacolorlesssky @oceanremnants SIU- I'm actually on my way to them to get a fun little weapon, I can deliver some medical supplies to TSF as well if that works for you RCS?

[reflectionofacolorlesssky]

RCS: Yes, I'm Dew's...Friend. I want to help.

RCS: And SIU- That could work, yes.

RCS: Stop by and I'll give them to you.

[oceanremnants]

<TSF> it's nice, that dew has friends.

<TSF> he speaks really highly of you, y'know. he said he thinks you're incredibly strong, clever and really creative.

[reflectionofacolorlesssky]

RCS: ...He does?

[oceanremnants]

<TSF> yep. but, if you tell him that i told you, he'll get really embarrassed... so, you absolutely should.

<TSF> i'm pretty sure the only reason he hasn't said anything like that to your face is because he's afraid you'd find him a weirdo, or something dumb like that. i bet, if you told him the friendship's mutual, you'd get another compliment or twelve out of him

<TSF> and actually directly to you, too~

[reflectionofacolorlesssky]

RCS: That's ... That's very sweet of him. Heh.

RCS: Anyway, uh... I hope the medical stuff gets to you soon, I'm not letting another iterator die on my watch-

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU- Another... Y'know that's something we can unpack later, I just need to deliver the medicine and retrieve the poleaxe first, THEN, I can figure out what that's all about.

<FDM> what the fuck do you mean the sideways are in your regions

<FNU> i mean your "sideways" are in our voiddamn regions!

<FDM> that's completely impossible. they're incredibly territorial, and they don't leave their nest for anything.

<FNU> well they've left the nest now, haven't they?!

<FDM> how d'you know for absolute certain that they're the sideways? they can look like any simple enough creature, and have minor self-modification abilities. sort of.

<FNU> the radiation blast sort of clued me into it.

<FDM> YOU SAW A RADIATION BLAST

<FDM> i mean

<FDM> how did you survive ?

<FNU> keep it in your pants, void! since you seem like you can help me, i'll tell you - they attacked my brother completely unprompted! nearly destroyed his puppet even more, not to mention.

<FDM> i am not sexually attracted to the sideways

<FDM> ...you need something that destabilizes their regeneration process. enough void fluid generally does the trick, or shooting their power source - if they have one, not all sideways do.

<FNU> it's a figure of speech...

<FDM> ......................................i knew that.

[northskydistrict]

<WBOM> Can confirm. We also witnessed it. I’d like to know when or WHY they ended up here.

<WBOM> This early in the day too for void’s sake.

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU- At least they're not in RCS's regions, Imagine dealing with them more constantly then I do where I usually just encounter them when I'm coming close to FDM's local group in order to get something

[significantly-important-utility]

<BVQT> SIU! Good day!

<BVQT> Dew and myself have managed to finish the requested weapon before he departed for... another region. What would be your preferred method of retrieving it?

SIU- NICE!, I can probably pick it up in person, it isn't tooo far to dew, so I just need to know where you'll give it to me, and I'll probably be able to trek there on my own

[oceanremnants]

<BVQT> After Dew left I had moved it to my own can. It is slightly to the north of his.

<BVQT> You may access it with the tunnels. I trust you are familiar with them? Winter said as much earlier..

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU- Yeah I remember em, I'll be on my way then, hope your cycle is going well by the way BVQT.

[oceanremnants]

<BVQT> Other than disturbance from the triple affirmative it has been alright. I hope the same for you, SIU!

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU- the triple WHAT? my cycle is going well, but you're gonna need to explain as I make my way to you.

[oceanremnants]

<BVQT> Someone known as UI, who I only knew of as a friend of my brother Feathers, apparently found the solution and promptly disappeared. Literally - his umbilical was rotting and his puppet simply vanished.

<BVQT> I do not care. However it has greatly upset Feathers, who has withdrawn and blocked all outside communications. I am worried for him.

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU- Ah, something like that happened in my creators' local group, I didn't hear much of it, but apparently someone named SOS ended up achieving that too? SIU- I really hope feathers will end up doing alright, and won't do anything tooooo rash hopefully

[oceanremnants]

<BVQT> Ah yes, Sliver of Straw. Despite being built long after her ascension, our group is highly aware of her.

<BVQT> I did not realize your creator was part of her group! The only one who has more than a surface level of knowledge on her groupmates would have to be... Feathers, actually.

<BVQT> ...I hope he is okay as well.

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU- Same here, You're all quite friendly, so I really hope he doesn't do anything rash to himself due to UI's apparent ascension, and yeah apparently NSH was part of SOS's group, I forget if she was a co-senior alongside moon, or moon was the only senior, I have to make do with old chatlog pearls for figuring that out, anyhow, i'll be on my way

[significantly-important-utility]

MtA: Uh, hello?

MtA: This sounds silly, but I guess I'm still looking for others to talk to.

MtA: Basically, BA, my senior and current caretaker, has been wanting me to talk to others, so, I guess I'm just sending out broadcasts?

MtA: Ough right my name, my name is Malachite the Ascended, or just Malachite.

MtA: If someone does get this broadcast, would love to uh, hear back.

(Sent from @the-karma-group <3)

SIU- Uhhh hello there, your message reached me, a purposed slugcat named SIU, Significantly Important Utility, is there anything you wish to talk about?

[the-karma-group]

MtA: Ough hi there.

MtA: Wasn't expecting these broadcast to reach someone so quickly.

MtA: You're a slugcat? But I thought they couldn't write iterator language n all that. Or was that modified for you?

MtA: That's actually quite intresting, I know Gems has a colony of slugcats that live on top of her can, due to how much food is there.

[significantly-important-utility]

Siu: I was specifically modified for the purpose of being an organizational assistant for a rather disorganized iterator, making me quite fast in antigrav, and able to rather easily sort pearls

[the-karma-group]

MtA: Oh that's neat! Definitely seems like a good way to go about that.

MtA: So, do you do anything other than helping your iterator? Actually you don't need to answer that, apologies.

MtA: What iterator do you help? Oh, also, do you have a favorite food.

[significantly-important-utility]

Siu: When I was still in his can I helped NSH, buuut complications happened... My favorite food though is probably caramel lizard steak cooked medium rare, with a light seasoning of herbs, and juiced bubblefruit. Weren't caramel lizards ancestors a livestock organism?

[significantly-important-utility]

RCS: Ah, SIU!

RCS: Everything's alright...Relatively. Celebrated the day of construction of one of my neighboring iterators within the local group.

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU: Oh, a birthday!, I hope it went well! Though what do you mean exactly.. by relatively? Did anything bad happen while I was away., or are you fine and dandy?

[reflectionofacolorlesssky]

RCS: Eh, just EA being an annoyance again, no big deal.

RCS: And also this...Complaint pearl Speck brought me, but it's nothing new either.

[significantly-important-utility]

SIU: Oh, that is fair, sometimes I wish there weren't pearls filled with complaints but there's not much one can do about that. I might be getting a Poleaxe soon though!
