(Allen has decided to search for his wren again looking through statements for clues.)

-@allendeller

what are you doing?

[allendeller]

looking through statements

(he has leg braces now.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

what uh, what happened to your legs? And why are you looking at statements?

[allendeller]

(he hasn’t turned around yet.)

electrocution incident and I’m looking for a person named wren.

[wren-of-the-flock]

the, other me, correct? Trust me, I want to go home as much as you want me gone

….whos are you reading?

[allendeller]

oh hello other wren…. I think I need to call you something different. Right now I reading something about the extinction.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….

Don’t see why you’re reading something that doesn’t exist.

what file even is that

[allendeller]

grandfather’s trapped in some extinction realm….. also what do you mean it doesn’t exist.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I mean, it doesn’t exist. If it did, we’d all be dead at this point

[allendeller]

I don’t think that necessarily true.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why not? It’s basically an aggressive End, and The End is already bad enough

[allendeller]

Because the threat is more existential, but if you want to be technically correct none of the entities exist and they’re one cohesive entity

[wren-of-the-flock]

yeah color wheels and all that, but a fear like The Extinction would be a big enough threat if it truly gains any avatars, the other fears wouldn’t allow it

why do you think your timeline is a closed loop?

[allendeller]

…..the extinction doesnt want to do anything, if it wanted to do something my entity would’ve taken care of it

[wren-of-the-flock]

how do you know?

Also what even is your fear?

[allendeller]

my fear is the frozen… fear of stagnation and cold. If something were to ever overconsume it would try to put that entity on ice.

[wren-of-the-flock]

that’s, new okay

it’s not one of ours

not right now dusk okay so, objectively is The Cold more powerful than the others? Or is it your pride talking?

[allendeller]

I’m not saying it would work I’m just saying that the extinction does exist but if it were ever to try and kill the world I would be freeze a lot more avatars than I could….. and currently I can’t

[wren-of-the-flock]

what do you mean you can’t?

[allendeller]

I can’t freeze avatars for long…. My entity doesn’t allow me to permanently freeze an avatar unless I’m in real danger.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why don’t you just, kill them?

[allendeller]

why would I ?

[wren-of-the-flock]

if this they’re truly a threat, knives work just as well

[allendeller]

I’m not good at fights, there’s a reason I have scars and a gun….. besides it’s not like I can control my entities powers when I’m threatened.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why can’t you?

[allendeller]

because the frozen owns my powers and essentially owns me.

[wren-of-the-flock]

same with The Dark, but I can control my powers?

[allendeller]

Got unlucky I guess…. Maybe it’s because it wants nothing to change… I don’t know

[wren-of-the-flock]

it wants nothing to change, but it can’t give you the power to stop the change? Your patron sucks man

[allendeller]

well think of it like this change is constant making it a pattern if I interfere in mundane change like death I would be causing change. I’m just saying if there’s an entity that actually wanted to destroy the world I would be freezeing a lot more avatars because the change they would make is bigger than the change I would make by freezeing them. But at any rate the extinction doesn’t actually want to destroy everything or else it would starve and that’s why that reasoning is faulty in my opinion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

wouldn’t that logic also apply to The End as well then? And it clearly wouldn’t mind a ritual

[allendeller]

Most entites don’t want a ritual it’s just people who think that. The only reason the end doesn’t care is because it is death itself. It doesn’t care what dies only that it meets its end. The extinction cares about the existential ramifications rather than the death.

[wren-of-the-flock]

if you say so man, if we’re arguing hypotheticals

whatcha reading anyways?

[allendeller]

grandfathers statement on the time he got transported the the extinction realm I think it might tell me something about universal travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

hmmmm

what’s the realm like?

[allendeller]

decrepit……there are apparently “new humans”, like the ones miller believed in. You know the guys who started the religion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

vaguely. The, inheritors correct?

[allendeller]

correct.

[wren-of-the-flock]

huh, interesting. Stranger I think, right?

[allendeller]

no extinction….

[wren-of-the-flock]

Anddddddd you’re still in The Extinction thing, great

[allendeller]

what?

[wren-of-the-flock]

it doesn’t exist

[allendeller]

read the statement yourself.

(he hands it to you.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

*she reads through quickly, her face scrunching in a confused recognizance*

….Stranger or End

[allendeller]

it's extinction. It can't be the end because there is someone to take the mantle and it can't be stranger because it doesn't focus on replacement, it focuses on change

[wren-of-the-flock]

it’s still an end. Still something inhuman replacing us

[allendeller]

But it’s also destruction of what humanity had ever achieved. It’s more than death it’s the end and forgetting of everything a human has ever done….. but that’s besides the point this might help me with dimensional travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

…okay, how?

[allendeller]

if entites can transport between these two related so Willy nilly what’s to say they can’t be harnessed to go to a specific place.

[wren-of-the-flock]

but, isn’t this a different realm, not a different timeline?

[allendeller]

don’t know until we try.

[wren-of-the-flock]

fair enough, what’s the plan?

[allendeller]

I don’t have one.

[wren-of-the-flock]

you have the, concepts of a plan?

[allendeller]

yeah….do you know anyone who can ask a favor from an entity?

[wren-of-the-flock]

not, anyone on this timeline but I can try uh, which entity?

[allendeller]

I’m sure any will do.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….any entity? Really?

[allendeller]

well the web does have something to do with travel more than others but I assume any works.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I could uh, I could talk to Charlie?

[allendeller]

don’t know who that is but whatever works

[wren-of-the-flock]

I uh, okay…

[allendeller]

What?

[wren-of-the-flock]

sorry, just, he’s, difficult….

that’s a way to put it! -🕸️

[allendeller]

…….whatever works

[the-caterers]

you called?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

not explicitly…..

[the-caterers]

close enough. You need something?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

was wondering if you could help

[the-caterers]

ohhhh with what? What could you need a poor little starving artist like me for?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

……could your entity do timeline travel?

[the-caterers]

hmmmmmmm, it depends it depends. The mother is, nothing if not picky. Where exactly would you want to go?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

The timeline where this person is in

(hands him a photo.)

[the-caterers]

hmmm let me see

*he takes the photo and studies it carefully*

ah, the Rature’s little ward. Possibly….the mother has many different forms….

*he closes his eyes, his face going through a myriad of uncomfortable expressions, before opening them again in a brief flash of shock*

ah. Sorry, can’t help you there. Timeline you’re looking for is a closed loop

-🕸️

[allendeller]

I’m sorry

[the-caterers]

sorry for what?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

closed timeline?

[the-caterers]

yeah bud. Timeline’s closed off to the rest of existence. No one gets in or out unless the entities want them in or out. And they don’t usually. Any idea why your friends would’ve been pulled in?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

no……

(why would he believe him, maybe he’ll get somewhere with his.)

[the-caterers]

okay, wanna narrow it done? What was her entity?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

because the sea if often associated with isolation like how my entity is associated with ice and snow?

[the-caterers]

i don’t know, who was the first avatar?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

of mine I don’t quite know…. I think it was an ancestor of mine from a while back though.

[the-caterers]

did they have any connection to ice or was it just the most obvious metaphor?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

Oh well back before mass heating in households was probably one of the most common fears. Eventually the two fears were integrated when people started doing The metaphor.

[the-caterers]

ah metaphors. A fears best friend

-🕸️

[allendeller]

yeah but anyways, what does this have to do with that timelines extinction.

[the-caterers]

okay so, from what I’ve gathered, that’s timeline’s Extinction has a first avatars who’s idea of the apocalypse is the fears coming into the world. So, they would be able to channel from other powers. Not good. -🕸️

[allendeller]

(sigh.) what am I going to do now….

[the-caterers]

don’t ask me~

-🕸️

[allendeller]

ok…

[the-caterers]

good luck~

The timeline where this person is in

(hands him a photo.)

[the-caterers]

hmmm let me see

*he takes the photo and studies it carefully*

ah, the Rature’s little ward. Possibly….the mother has many different forms….

*he closes his eyes, his face going through a myriad of uncomfortable expressions, before opening them again in a brief flash of shock*

ah. Sorry, can’t help you there. Timeline you’re looking for is a closed loop

-🕸️

[allendeller]

I’m sorry

[the-caterers]

sorry for what?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

closed timeline?

[the-caterers]

yeah bud. Timeline’s closed off to the rest of existence. No one gets in or out unless the entities want them in or out. And they don’t usually. Any idea why your friends would’ve been pulled in?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

no……

(why would he believe him, maybe he’ll get somewhere with his.)

[the-caterers]

okay, wanna narrow it done? What was her entity?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

because the sea if often associated with isolation like how my entity is associated with ice and snow?

[the-caterers]

i don’t know, who was the first avatar?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

of mine I don’t quite know…. I think it was an ancestor of mine from a while back though.

[the-caterers]

did they have any connection to ice or was it just the most obvious metaphor?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

Oh well back before mass heating in households was probably one of the most common fears. Eventually the two fears were integrated when people started doing The metaphor.

[the-caterers]

ah metaphors. A fears best friend

-🕸️

[allendeller]

yeah but anyways, what does this have to do with that timelines extinction.

[the-caterers]

okay so, from what I’ve gathered, that’s timeline’s Extinction has a first avatars who’s idea of the apocalypse is the fears coming into the world. So, they would be able to channel from other powers. Not good. -🕸️

[the-caterers]

Oliver Ramao. Might send him your way idk

The End kid? Interesting

-🔪

*ominous wind*

-🦋

[oliver-analog]

"Wrong Oliver"

[the-caterers]

hmmmm. Who’s this kid?

-🔪

*the wind is gone*

-🦋

[oliver-analog]

"I'm Oliver Ramao, usually go by Ollie though... kinda for the reason of for some reason there is an absurd amount of Olivers. Like I don't think it was as common as it is here where I'm from."

[the-caterers]

Oliver’s, Micheal’s, John’s, etc. common names.

so, what’s the deal kid? You here to order? Should I get honey?

-🔪

[oliver-analog]

"I actually... Wait why am I here... that is a good question."

[the-caterers]

….don’t ask me?

[wren-of-the-flock]

(Allen has decided to search for his wren again looking through statements for clues.)

-@allendeller

what are you doing?

[allendeller]

looking through statements

(he has leg braces now.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

what uh, what happened to your legs? And why are you looking at statements?

[allendeller]

(he hasn’t turned around yet.)

electrocution incident and I’m looking for a person named wren.

[wren-of-the-flock]

the, other me, correct? Trust me, I want to go home as much as you want me gone

….whos are you reading?

[allendeller]

oh hello other wren…. I think I need to call you something different. Right now I reading something about the extinction.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….

Don’t see why you’re reading something that doesn’t exist.

what file even is that

[allendeller]

grandfather’s trapped in some extinction realm….. also what do you mean it doesn’t exist.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I mean, it doesn’t exist. If it did, we’d all be dead at this point

[allendeller]

I don’t think that necessarily true.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why not? It’s basically an aggressive End, and The End is already bad enough

[allendeller]

Because the threat is more existential, but if you want to be technically correct none of the entities exist and they’re one cohesive entity

[wren-of-the-flock]

yeah color wheels and all that, but a fear like The Extinction would be a big enough threat if it truly gains any avatars, the other fears wouldn’t allow it

why do you think your timeline is a closed loop?

[allendeller]

…..the extinction doesnt want to do anything, if it wanted to do something my entity would’ve taken care of it

[wren-of-the-flock]

how do you know?

Also what even is your fear?

[allendeller]

my fear is the frozen… fear of stagnation and cold. If something were to ever overconsume it would try to put that entity on ice.

[wren-of-the-flock]

that’s, new okay

it’s not one of ours

not right now dusk okay so, objectively is The Cold more powerful than the others? Or is it your pride talking?

[allendeller]

I’m not saying it would work I’m just saying that the extinction does exist but if it were ever to try and kill the world I would be freeze a lot more avatars than I could….. and currently I can’t

[wren-of-the-flock]

what do you mean you can’t?

[allendeller]

I can’t freeze avatars for long…. My entity doesn’t allow me to permanently freeze an avatar unless I’m in real danger.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why don’t you just, kill them?

[allendeller]

why would I ?

[wren-of-the-flock]

if this they’re truly a threat, knives work just as well

[allendeller]

I’m not good at fights, there’s a reason I have scars and a gun….. besides it’s not like I can control my entities powers when I’m threatened.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why can’t you?

[allendeller]

because the frozen owns my powers and essentially owns me.

[wren-of-the-flock]

same with The Dark, but I can control my powers?

[allendeller]

Got unlucky I guess…. Maybe it’s because it wants nothing to change… I don’t know

[wren-of-the-flock]

it wants nothing to change, but it can’t give you the power to stop the change? Your patron sucks man

[allendeller]

well think of it like this change is constant making it a pattern if I interfere in mundane change like death I would be causing change. I’m just saying if there’s an entity that actually wanted to destroy the world I would be freezeing a lot more avatars because the change they would make is bigger than the change I would make by freezeing them. But at any rate the extinction doesn’t actually want to destroy everything or else it would starve and that’s why that reasoning is faulty in my opinion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

wouldn’t that logic also apply to The End as well then? And it clearly wouldn’t mind a ritual

[allendeller]

Most entites don’t want a ritual it’s just people who think that. The only reason the end doesn’t care is because it is death itself. It doesn’t care what dies only that it meets its end. The extinction cares about the existential ramifications rather than the death.

[wren-of-the-flock]

if you say so man, if we’re arguing hypotheticals

whatcha reading anyways?

[allendeller]

grandfathers statement on the time he got transported the the extinction realm I think it might tell me something about universal travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

hmmmm

what’s the realm like?

[allendeller]

decrepit……there are apparently “new humans”, like the ones miller believed in. You know the guys who started the religion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

vaguely. The, inheritors correct?

[allendeller]

correct.

[wren-of-the-flock]

huh, interesting. Stranger I think, right?

[allendeller]

no extinction….

[wren-of-the-flock]

Anddddddd you’re still in The Extinction thing, great

[allendeller]

what?

[wren-of-the-flock]

it doesn’t exist

[allendeller]

read the statement yourself.

(he hands it to you.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

*she reads through quickly, her face scrunching in a confused recognizance*

….Stranger or End

[allendeller]

it's extinction. It can't be the end because there is someone to take the mantle and it can't be stranger because it doesn't focus on replacement, it focuses on change

[wren-of-the-flock]

it’s still an end. Still something inhuman replacing us

[allendeller]

But it’s also destruction of what humanity had ever achieved. It’s more than death it’s the end and forgetting of everything a human has ever done….. but that’s besides the point this might help me with dimensional travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

…okay, how?

[allendeller]

if entites can transport between these two related so Willy nilly what’s to say they can’t be harnessed to go to a specific place.

[wren-of-the-flock]

but, isn’t this a different realm, not a different timeline?

[allendeller]

don’t know until we try.

[wren-of-the-flock]

fair enough, what’s the plan?

[allendeller]

I don’t have one.

[wren-of-the-flock]

you have the, concepts of a plan?

[allendeller]

yeah….do you know anyone who can ask a favor from an entity?

[wren-of-the-flock]

not, anyone on this timeline but I can try uh, which entity?

[allendeller]

I’m sure any will do.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….any entity? Really?

[allendeller]

well the web does have something to do with travel more than others but I assume any works.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I could uh, I could talk to Charlie?

[allendeller]

don’t know who that is but whatever works

[wren-of-the-flock]

I uh, okay…

[allendeller]

What?

[wren-of-the-flock]

[allendeller]

[the-caterers]

you called?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

not explicitly…..

[the-caterers]

close enough. You need something?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

was wondering if you could help

[the-caterers]

ohhhh with what? What could you need a poor little starving artist like me for?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

not, anyone on this timeline but I can try uh, which entity?

[allendeller]

I’m sure any will do.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….any entity? Really?

[allendeller]

well the web does have something to do with travel more than others but I assume any works.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I could uh, I could talk to Charlie?

[allendeller]

don’t know who that is but whatever works

[wren-of-the-flock]

I uh, okay…

[allendeller]

What?

[wren-of-the-flock]

sorry, just, he’s, difficult….

that’s a way to put it! -🕸️

[allendeller]

…….whatever works

[the-caterers]

you called?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

not explicitly…..

[the-caterers]

close enough. You need something?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

was wondering if you could help

[the-caterers]

ohhhh with what? What could you need a poor little starving artist like me for?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

……could your entity do timeline travel?

[the-caterers]

hmmmmmmm, it depends it depends. The mother is, nothing if not picky. Where exactly would you want to go?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

The timeline where this person is in

(hands him a photo.)

[the-caterers]

hmmm let me see

*he takes the photo and studies it carefully*

ah, the Rature’s little ward. Possibly….the mother has many different forms….

*he closes his eyes, his face going through a myriad of uncomfortable expressions, before opening them again in a brief flash of shock*

ah. Sorry, can’t help you there. Timeline you’re looking for is a closed loop

-🕸️

[allendeller]

I’m sorry

[the-caterers]

sorry for what?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

closed timeline?

[the-caterers]

yeah bud. Timeline’s closed off to the rest of existence. No one gets in or out unless the entities want them in or out. And they don’t usually. Any idea why your friends would’ve been pulled in?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

no……

(why would he believe him, maybe he’ll get somewhere with his.)

[the-caterers]

okay, wanna narrow it done? What was her entity?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

because the sea if often associated with isolation like how my entity is associated with ice and snow?

[the-caterers]

i don’t know, who was the first avatar?

-🕸️

[the-caterers]

Oliver Ramao. Might send him your way idk

The End kid? Interesting

-🔪

*ominous wind*

-🦋

[oliver-analog]

"Wrong Oliver"

[the-caterers]

hmmmm. Who’s this kid?

-🔪

*the wind is gone*

(Allen has decided to search for his wren again looking through statements for clues.)

-@allendeller

what are you doing?

[allendeller]

looking through statements

(he has leg braces now.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

what uh, what happened to your legs? And why are you looking at statements?

[allendeller]

(he hasn’t turned around yet.)

electrocution incident and I’m looking for a person named wren.

[wren-of-the-flock]

the, other me, correct? Trust me, I want to go home as much as you want me gone

….whos are you reading?

[allendeller]

oh hello other wren…. I think I need to call you something different. Right now I reading something about the extinction.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….

Don’t see why you’re reading something that doesn’t exist.

what file even is that

[allendeller]

grandfather’s trapped in some extinction realm….. also what do you mean it doesn’t exist.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I mean, it doesn’t exist. If it did, we’d all be dead at this point

[allendeller]

I don’t think that necessarily true.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why not? It’s basically an aggressive End, and The End is already bad enough

[allendeller]

Because the threat is more existential, but if you want to be technically correct none of the entities exist and they’re one cohesive entity

[wren-of-the-flock]

yeah color wheels and all that, but a fear like The Extinction would be a big enough threat if it truly gains any avatars, the other fears wouldn’t allow it

why do you think your timeline is a closed loop?

[allendeller]

…..the extinction doesnt want to do anything, if it wanted to do something my entity would’ve taken care of it

[wren-of-the-flock]

how do you know?

Also what even is your fear?

[allendeller]

my fear is the frozen… fear of stagnation and cold. If something were to ever overconsume it would try to put that entity on ice.

[wren-of-the-flock]

that’s, new okay

it’s not one of ours

not right now dusk okay so, objectively is The Cold more powerful than the others? Or is it your pride talking?

[allendeller]

I’m not saying it would work I’m just saying that the extinction does exist but if it were ever to try and kill the world I would be freeze a lot more avatars than I could….. and currently I can’t

[wren-of-the-flock]

what do you mean you can’t?

[allendeller]

I can’t freeze avatars for long…. My entity doesn’t allow me to permanently freeze an avatar unless I’m in real danger.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why don’t you just, kill them?

[allendeller]

why would I ?

[wren-of-the-flock]

if this they’re truly a threat, knives work just as well

[allendeller]

I’m not good at fights, there’s a reason I have scars and a gun….. besides it’s not like I can control my entities powers when I’m threatened.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why can’t you?

[allendeller]

because the frozen owns my powers and essentially owns me.

[wren-of-the-flock]

same with The Dark, but I can control my powers?

[allendeller]

Got unlucky I guess…. Maybe it’s because it wants nothing to change… I don’t know

[wren-of-the-flock]

it wants nothing to change, but it can’t give you the power to stop the change? Your patron sucks man

[allendeller]

well think of it like this change is constant making it a pattern if I interfere in mundane change like death I would be causing change. I’m just saying if there’s an entity that actually wanted to destroy the world I would be freezeing a lot more avatars because the change they would make is bigger than the change I would make by freezeing them. But at any rate the extinction doesn’t actually want to destroy everything or else it would starve and that’s why that reasoning is faulty in my opinion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

wouldn’t that logic also apply to The End as well then? And it clearly wouldn’t mind a ritual

[allendeller]

Most entites don’t want a ritual it’s just people who think that. The only reason the end doesn’t care is because it is death itself. It doesn’t care what dies only that it meets its end. The extinction cares about the existential ramifications rather than the death.

[wren-of-the-flock]

if you say so man, if we’re arguing hypotheticals

whatcha reading anyways?

[allendeller]

grandfathers statement on the time he got transported the the extinction realm I think it might tell me something about universal travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

hmmmm

what’s the realm like?

[allendeller]

decrepit……there are apparently “new humans”, like the ones miller believed in. You know the guys who started the religion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

vaguely. The, inheritors correct?

[allendeller]

correct.

[wren-of-the-flock]

huh, interesting. Stranger I think, right?

[allendeller]

no extinction….

[wren-of-the-flock]

Anddddddd you’re still in The Extinction thing, great

[allendeller]

what?

[wren-of-the-flock]

it doesn’t exist

[allendeller]

read the statement yourself.

(he hands it to you.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

*she reads through quickly, her face scrunching in a confused recognizance*

….Stranger or End

[allendeller]

it's extinction. It can't be the end because there is someone to take the mantle and it can't be stranger because it doesn't focus on replacement, it focuses on change

[wren-of-the-flock]

it’s still an end. Still something inhuman replacing us

[allendeller]

But it’s also destruction of what humanity had ever achieved. It’s more than death it’s the end and forgetting of everything a human has ever done….. but that’s besides the point this might help me with dimensional travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

…okay, how?

[allendeller]

if entites can transport between these two related so Willy nilly what’s to say they can’t be harnessed to go to a specific place.

[wren-of-the-flock]

but, isn’t this a different realm, not a different timeline?

[allendeller]

don’t know until we try.

[wren-of-the-flock]

fair enough, what’s the plan?

[allendeller]

I don’t have one.

[wren-of-the-flock]

you have the, concepts of a plan?

[allendeller]

yeah….do you know anyone who can ask a favor from an entity?

hmmmmmmm, it depends it depends. The mother is, nothing if not picky. Where exactly would you want to go?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

The timeline where this person is in

(hands him a photo.)

[the-caterers]

hmmm let me see

*he takes the photo and studies it carefully*

ah, the Rature’s little ward. Possibly….the mother has many different forms….

*he closes his eyes, his face going through a myriad of uncomfortable expressions, before opening them again in a brief flash of shock*

ah. Sorry, can’t help you there. Timeline you’re looking for is a closed loop

-🕸️

[allendeller]

I’m sorry

[the-caterers]

sorry for what?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

closed timeline?

[the-caterers]

yeah bud. Timeline’s closed off to the rest of existence. No one gets in or out unless the entities want them in or out. And they don’t usually. Any idea why your friends would’ve been pulled in?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

no……

(why would he believe him, maybe he’ll get somewhere with his.)

[the-caterers]

okay, wanna narrow it done? What was her entity?

-🕸️

[wren-of-the-flock]

(Allen has decided to search for his wren again looking through statements for clues.)

-@allendeller

what are you doing?

[allendeller]

looking through statements

(he has leg braces now.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

what uh, what happened to your legs? And why are you looking at statements?

[allendeller]

(he hasn’t turned around yet.)

electrocution incident and I’m looking for a person named wren.

[wren-of-the-flock]

the, other me, correct? Trust me, I want to go home as much as you want me gone

….whos are you reading?

[allendeller]

oh hello other wren…. I think I need to call you something different. Right now I reading something about the extinction.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….

Don’t see why you’re reading something that doesn’t exist.

what file even is that

[allendeller]

grandfather’s trapped in some extinction realm….. also what do you mean it doesn’t exist.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I mean, it doesn’t exist. If it did, we’d all be dead at this point

[allendeller]

I don’t think that necessarily true.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why not? It’s basically an aggressive End, and The End is already bad enough

[allendeller]

Because the threat is more existential, but if you want to be technically correct none of the entities exist and they’re one cohesive entity

[wren-of-the-flock]

yeah color wheels and all that, but a fear like The Extinction would be a big enough threat if it truly gains any avatars, the other fears wouldn’t allow it

why do you think your timeline is a closed loop?

[allendeller]

…..the extinction doesnt want to do anything, if it wanted to do something my entity would’ve taken care of it

[wren-of-the-flock]

how do you know?

Also what even is your fear?

[allendeller]

my fear is the frozen… fear of stagnation and cold. If something were to ever overconsume it would try to put that entity on ice.

[wren-of-the-flock]

that’s, new okay

it’s not one of ours

not right now dusk okay so, objectively is The Cold more powerful than the others? Or is it your pride talking?

[allendeller]

I’m not saying it would work I’m just saying that the extinction does exist but if it were ever to try and kill the world I would be freeze a lot more avatars than I could….. and currently I can’t

[wren-of-the-flock]

what do you mean you can’t?

[allendeller]

I can’t freeze avatars for long…. My entity doesn’t allow me to permanently freeze an avatar unless I’m in real danger.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why don’t you just, kill them?

[allendeller]

why would I ?

[wren-of-the-flock]

if this they’re truly a threat, knives work just as well

[allendeller]

I’m not good at fights, there’s a reason I have scars and a gun….. besides it’s not like I can control my entities powers when I’m threatened.

[wren-of-the-flock]

why can’t you?

[allendeller]

because the frozen owns my powers and essentially owns me.

[wren-of-the-flock]

same with The Dark, but I can control my powers?

[allendeller]

Got unlucky I guess…. Maybe it’s because it wants nothing to change… I don’t know

[wren-of-the-flock]

it wants nothing to change, but it can’t give you the power to stop the change? Your patron sucks man

[allendeller]

well think of it like this change is constant making it a pattern if I interfere in mundane change like death I would be causing change. I’m just saying if there’s an entity that actually wanted to destroy the world I would be freezeing a lot more avatars because the change they would make is bigger than the change I would make by freezeing them. But at any rate the extinction doesn’t actually want to destroy everything or else it would starve and that’s why that reasoning is faulty in my opinion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

wouldn’t that logic also apply to The End as well then? And it clearly wouldn’t mind a ritual

[allendeller]

Most entites don’t want a ritual it’s just people who think that. The only reason the end doesn’t care is because it is death itself. It doesn’t care what dies only that it meets its end. The extinction cares about the existential ramifications rather than the death.

[wren-of-the-flock]

if you say so man, if we’re arguing hypotheticals

whatcha reading anyways?

[allendeller]

grandfathers statement on the time he got transported the the extinction realm I think it might tell me something about universal travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

hmmmm

what’s the realm like?

[allendeller]

decrepit……there are apparently “new humans”, like the ones miller believed in. You know the guys who started the religion.

[wren-of-the-flock]

vaguely. The, inheritors correct?

[allendeller]

correct.

[wren-of-the-flock]

huh, interesting. Stranger I think, right?

[allendeller]

no extinction….

[wren-of-the-flock]

Anddddddd you’re still in The Extinction thing, great

[allendeller]

what?

[wren-of-the-flock]

it doesn’t exist

[allendeller]

read the statement yourself.

(he hands it to you.)

[wren-of-the-flock]

*she reads through quickly, her face scrunching in a confused recognizance*

….Stranger or End

[allendeller]

it's extinction. It can't be the end because there is someone to take the mantle and it can't be stranger because it doesn't focus on replacement, it focuses on change

[wren-of-the-flock]

it’s still an end. Still something inhuman replacing us

[allendeller]

But it’s also destruction of what humanity had ever achieved. It’s more than death it’s the end and forgetting of everything a human has ever done….. but that’s besides the point this might help me with dimensional travel.

[wren-of-the-flock]

…okay, how?

[allendeller]

if entites can transport between these two related so Willy nilly what’s to say they can’t be harnessed to go to a specific place.

[wren-of-the-flock]

but, isn’t this a different realm, not a different timeline?

[allendeller]

don’t know until we try.

[wren-of-the-flock]

fair enough, what’s the plan?

[allendeller]

I don’t have one.

[wren-of-the-flock]

you have the, concepts of a plan?

[allendeller]

yeah….do you know anyone who can ask a favor from an entity?

[wren-of-the-flock]

not, anyone on this timeline but I can try uh, which entity?

[allendeller]

I’m sure any will do.

[wren-of-the-flock]

….any entity? Really?

[allendeller]

well the web does have something to do with travel more than others but I assume any works.

[wren-of-the-flock]

I could uh, I could talk to Charlie?

[allendeller]

don’t know who that is but whatever works

[wren-of-the-flock]

I uh, okay…

[allendeller]

What?

[wren-of-the-flock]

sorry, just, he’s, difficult….

that’s a way to put it! -🕸️

[allendeller]

…….whatever works

[the-caterers]

you called?

-🕸️

[allendeller]

not explicitly…..

[the-caterers]

close enough. You need something?

[allendeller]

was wondering if you could help
