Worlds Apart

@ask-selenium (from x)

On Cedric's end, a video feed springs to life showing...

...wait. Something's not right...

That's a World Machine, sure, but... not the one that Cedric knows.

[...all right then. Before I answer any of your questions, I feel like some information will definitely help you here. You've... somehow gotten into contact with a completely different New World. I am Hazel, its World Machine. Events in my world happened much differently than they did in yours... as a matter of fact, my world is completely stable right now. The Sun has been restored, and I've fixed the corruption that I've caused.]

Hazel starts pacing a bit, concern clear to see on their face.

[For the Barrens and the Glen to succumb to the acidic gas... what on earth HAPPENED in your world...?]

It's kind of awkward to be talking through text like this, and I would rather not if I could... but we need to consult someone and find out exactly what is going on. I'm sorry that this is a really abrupt and unprompted message, but not doing anything is worse than trying to do something, I think." > "I just have a few questions for you and your settlement, if that's okay. I've been trying to figure out how to read your blog using the terminal but all it reads is '403 // FORBIDDEN'. Actually, I don't even know if this will reach you. It might sound stupid if it doesn't." > "We've been holed up in the refuge for a long time now and we're looking for any signs of outside life still, but we haven't really gotten answers in a long time. So if you'd be willing to sit down and have a chat, that'd be really... I mean, extremely, helpful? I guess? I don't want to guilt you into doing it but it's pretty important." > "Thanks for your reading, and thanks for your time, regardless of if you choose to accept or not.

Connection request approved. Now establishing communication with 'Hazel'...

...

[Ah, my apologies. It seems that there are still access protocols that Sunlight hasn't covered yet... I'll be sure to let him know about that. Regardless... your situation certainly seems dire if you're trying to make contact with any world that you can. I'd be more than willing to have a conversation - I hope you don't mind if Sunlight sits in on this too.]

ooc// Sorry if I end up 'necroposting' on a blog that you've already abandoned, but as a fan of both OneShot and Hacknet, this blog caught my interest and intrigue. If you're not feeling the motivation to do stuff here, I understand, but I'd definitely be willing to give this blog a chance at some point. (from @of-the-new-world)

// hi! this blog is pretty dead right now because of finals week and lacking motivation because of how disastrous the plot is (which i might just rewrite a lot of because... it's BAAADD...) and how the whole mechanic of the blog needs a rewrite

// rest assured though i do answer asks whenever i get them on all of my blogs. feel free to send one at any time.
