I REALLY want to kiss Laios right now and be held in his strong arms. I want to be rambled to and info dumped

Within the room of the apartment, a rift has appeared.

The rift begins to glow. Something is making its way through…

Zzz... *snort* Huh? Oh shoot, I overslept. Rowie! Rowie, what day is it?

A voice from the living room calls out. [It is April 1st, the next morning after you went to sleep. You did not show signs of another coma, so I simply let you sleep in.]

Well, that's a relief. Hey, any chance you can help me into my chair?

Again, the voice called out. [Unfortunately not. I am... occupied. If you are capable of joining me, you will see. There is not presently any danger but it is... concerning.]

Intrigued, Jaye took a few minutes to lever herself into her wheelchair & roll across the hardwood floor of her bedroom out to the living room. What she found was indeed concerning.

Uh. What the fuck.

[trashrats-world]

UGH WHY IS HE LIKE THIS?

Knock Out is making me feel all sorts of things that he is actually making me write something with he and my OC in it. I am not sure how to feel about that since I haven’t felt that way with a character in years

[orions-starryeyes]

Also wanna make things clear and admit that I ddooo ship Laios x Senshi but alas.... I feel as though it is the least popular ship of the main group

[orions-starryeyes]

Soooo... Anyone in the mood for a Holm x Kabru fic? I have it in the works, but I was curious if anyone would even be interested

[orions-starryeyes]

Laios is honestly so smart, actually understanding and empathetic, clean, healthy, organized and selfless.. I know it's silly but I do find myself cringing a little when I see people go 'All these characters are problematic in their own way' because... It feels like such a stupid and superficial way to look at a person who makes mistakes or has a flaw or says/does something stupid

Laios is such a good person and I feel as if people judge him purely on an analytical side vs seeing them as peopl

[orions-starryeyes]

I miss Kabru. I know he's always with me but I still miss him

[jaye-of-the-glen]

[ @os-mapmaker ]

Greetings. You may call me the Mapmaker. I am on a mission to learn about all currently known timelines and their residents.

…Huh. I don’t think I have yet come across an Avian Character that resembles you in the other timelines I have visited.

Anyway, I hope you would not mind answering a few questions.

Interview: Jaye

[START]

⠀

So, I’ve heard you have a tendency to fall asleep for several days or even weeks. Is that something that is common of all Glenfolk in your world, or is that unique to you?

[Video Connection Available] [Engage Asynchronous Link?] [Initializing...] [You may now engage in asynchronous video interview. Video link may be paused at any time for your convenience. When paused, time will not pass for World Machine ███-████.]

A webcam flickers on. You see an avian with white feathers & a cracked yellow beak. She's wearing a shawl & tattered purple top bearing the symbol of the Sun. You note the tired expression on her face, visible even in her avian expression. You also notice that she appears to be in a wheelchair. The link appears stable, for now.

Good morning! A mapmaker, huh? That's new. I'm not going to lie, it would be very nice to have a better idea of all the differences between the worlds. There are wayyyyy too many Nikos to keep track of.

While cheerful, you note that Jaye cannot hide her fatigue. Every few sentences, she has to pause to catch her breath.

Speaking of, please tell me if you ever find another me! I'd love to talk to her. Maybe figure out more about my... condition. Jaye gestures towards her wheelchair. Also, I've never been called Avian before - that's a first. Mostly we call ourselves birdfolk or glenfolk.

By the way, why Mapmaker & not like, Cartographer or Archivist? Do the timelines have, like, a shape you can actually map out? Or is it just a figure of speech?

Oh, & I also wanted to mention, there are other blogs in my timeline, actually! Magpie was the one who set me up with a tumblr account to begin with. I know George & Kip are on here. Oh! And so is Niko! Here's the blog links: ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

You attempt to examine the links but they appear to lead nowhere. Even the Niko blog returns no results. It seems those blogs cannot access your Singularity - to put it in simpler terms, you cannot see them from the Inversion. Yet Jaye says Magpie introduced her to the multiverse. Why is Jaye's blog in the Singularity but not the others? Are there other Singularities you don't have access to? Perhaps you are going about this all wrong. A better question: Is it Jaye's timeline that is unique, or Jaye herself? Querying Jaye more closely about the differences between her timeline & others may be instructive, in addition to learning more about Jaye herself.

Anyways, sorry I'm rambling. To answer your question, the sleep thing is a problem pretty unique to me. It actually used to be a lot worse - I fell asleep for over 2 years at one point. It's been a long-term issue, but the events leading up to the return of the Sun exacerbated it. It's... a very unusual & unnatural condition to say the least, & a long story that involves my World Machine. I don't have all the answers but... I think I'm ready to talk more about it, if you would like to hear.
