hey guys what are your favorite planets?

AA: there will be a l0st planet, flung free fr0m its star, spinning f0rever in the endless star-spangled night. it will have 0nce held a thriving civilizati0n, which will die 0ut with a tender sl0wness. its atm0sphere and 0ceans will freeze, until 0nly its well-insulated c0re h0lds any heat. there will be pe0ple there, still, living 0ff that heat deep in the crust, praying. it will be beautiful.

AT: i SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THIS GREAT PLANET OUT IN THE… uH, i THINK YOU HUMANS DON’T HAVE A NAME FOR IT… iT’S SEVERAL TENS OF MILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS AWAY, uH, aNYWAY, iT’S NICE, i LIKE CAMPING OUT UNDER THE MYCELIAL TREES AND LISTENING TO THE LIZARDS SING ME TO SLEEP AS THE SUN RISES, tHEN AT NIGHT I ROAST SOME JUICY WORMS OVER THE FIRE AND JUST WATCH THE LIGHTS OF THE AURORA ORIENTALIS, sOMETIMES I INVITE A FRIEND FROM AMONGST THE LOCALS AND WE TELL STORIES AND FLY AROUND, iT’S NICE,

TA: anywhere wiith wii-fii ii2 good enough.

CG: I HATE THEM ALL EQUALLY. I’D SPEND ALL MY TIME IN THE INTERGALACTIC VOID, BUT I HATE OUTER SPACE JUST AS MUCH.

AC: :33 would you believe i can’t remember the planet’s name? i had a lot of fun there, though! the people there had this fascinating romance system where each purrson was flushed with two other people, who were also flushed with another shared purrson, making a square. And they were pale on the diagonal. i introduced the concept of blackrom to them, and it was purrfect chaos. >:33

GA: It Is Impossible To Choose Just One. Every Planet Is Unique, Precious, And Delicate. Like A Shard Of Crystalized Precipitate.

GC: M4RS.

AG: It’s called “Areani”, and it’s got a diamond in its center that’s 8igger than two Earths! It’s mine, of course. Won it in a game of craps. ::::)

CT: ▉▉▉▉▉.

TC: AnY sPoT tO cRaSh Is GoOd, InSeCtIsIbLiNg. I bRiNg My FaVoRiTe PlAcE wItH mE. :o)

CA: planets are planets, and people are people. all places tend to blur together ovver time. that’s just as true for the others, too, though they don’t wwant to admit it.

CC: You probably t)(ink I'd say Kepler 195-4, or some ot)(er planet wit)( only oceans, but my favorite was actually K2-219-5 because it )(ad so many islands! Islands are definitely t)(e best. I liked it so muc)( I actually settled t)(ere for a w)(ile, before we all came to -Eart)(. Too bad it's gone now.

[thegodshavehorns]

did any of you ever meet players from other universe frogs/other sessions

GA: I Imagine They Must Exist, Considering How The Game Propagates Itself. All Of Us Have Wondered, At Various Times, What Happened To Those Gods Who Must Have Created Alternia. It’s Possible They Just Never Found Us, But Considering That We Hosted Sgrub, I Find That Unlikely.

CC: T)(ere's my old Lusus to consider, but if s)(e was a goddess t)(en s)(e N-EV-ER told M-E. A part of me does wis)( we )(ad t)(oug)(t to ask t)(e )(orrorterrors for wisdom before we left t)(e Medium. It would )(ave made t)(e early years a little tidier.

TA: ii know they’re out there. iit’2 maddeniing

OOC.

so Equius's heir of void powers went overboard leading him to be an antimemeitc field or walking black hole.

((It's slightly more complex than that, but you're on the right track.))

((Consider: What could "Do the Void-y thing" mean?))

[thegodshavehorns]

hello Nepeta do you still see Equius?

AC: :33 You're a cruel one, aren't you? AC: :33 Where did you even learn that name? AC: ... AC: 33: We do not speak of him anymore. AC: 33: He nefur arrived in the unifurs we all made, and nefur became a god. AC: 33: Happy, now?

[thegodshavehorns]

Hi Eridan! Do you ever have nightmares about the game? About how you became a god? Do you wish youd gotten to grow up a bit more first?

CA: nightmares?

CA: i havve more nightmares about my mortal life than about the game. and stress dreams about evverything that’s happened since.

CA: that’s not to say i nevver dream of it. there wwas one part in particular my subconscious mind likes to torment me wwith. there’s a mistake i made, that i shouldn’t havve.

CA: but i’m glad i played the game wwhen i did. better to rip that wwound patch off sooner than later.

Hi Vriska! I wanted to know how it was when you and Rose were getting closer- when did you realize you had a palecrush? How long did it take you to put your pale seduction plan into action? How often do you get to visit her?

AG: Oh, it wasn’t something I intended from the get-go. I mean, I liked her spunk and gall, 8ut I don’t just go around with a crush on every mortal who dares look me in the eye. That would 8e really stupid!!!!!!!!

AG: I was originally hoping to turn her against Eridan. Or ruin her so she wouldn’t 8e useful to him anymore.

AG: 8ut then our mind-games started turning into

AG: a real feelings jam.

AG: She pro8a8ly had no idea, 8ut it was a classic way to 8uild a pale relationship. I didn’t want to get involved, though. I meant to keep her at an arm’s length, 8ut I was aware of that pale spark early on.

AG: Then we 8oth learned she was eventually going to ascend, so……..

AG: Suddenly it didn’t seem that 8ad, to give in to it.

AG: 8ecause she’d be a goddess soon, too

AG: As for the ‘pale seduction’, that was kind of… One night I just lost patience and wanted to do it. So I did it. Not much of a plan, ha ha.

AG: I visited her that summer as often as I could. At least once a week.

AG: Then Eridan started up teaching her again in Li8ra, and we had to switch to long distance. Them’s the 8r8ks!
