Hello
If we have not met my name is Octavian
I am an alchemist and as always I am accepting small amounts of blood for a personal project
But that is beside the point
[Just, you know, getting it out of the way that he's always on the hunt for blood samples to save, anyway—]
The point is during our mutual excursions to maintain the integrity of this world
In the ruins I was set upon by a manner of vision
Very abrupt
not entirely welcome
In the water I experienced memories that were not my own
Something about a breed of serpentine people
Where are they
?
The recollection suggested they were not always serpents but perhaps once like us
A group brought to this place and changed
Was this previously known
and
has anyone else experienced these visions
?

...But why would you suspect they were once like us? 'Tis a bold theory.
no subject
It was in the vision. A group of people were infected. Corrupted perhaps is the term. Then they were changed...
It seemed intended to help. To excise the damage.
no subject
It certainly sounds as though your visions were more illuminating than mine! I saw myself dying. And, honestly, how useful could that be?
...Now, as for our serpentine neighbors...
Was there aught to suggest they were Chosen? Or were they once merely hyuran? For I could well see the people of Aldrip growing so corrupted that their code intermingled with a snake's... Come to think of it, I am rather surprised that this did not happen in all of that nonsensical chaos we just endured.
no subject
[Would he want to be a snake? Hm, no.]
Regardless. It is of course unconfirmed. The best description I could offer is that it felt- [a pause, and a quiet hmm,] -akin to a failure. To rehabilitate.
no subject
We possess them and they do not.
So, to suggest that we became the serpents... Or that Chosen of the past did...
Hm.
Mayhap another experiment is in order.
[He needs to get a Rumpiturian on his table.]
no subject
[Honestly, he's still not that into murder, but if the threat of turning into a snake or something else is on the table...]
How would you go about it.
no subject
[Trapping one in a near-death state for a while to see if they have some sort of near-death experience.]
If they have souls, they should possess aether or at the very least something equal in nature to it.
no subject
In that case. I would like to see it.
no subject
You are about to be an accessory to something most fun!
[Kidnapping and torture!]
no subject
no subject
And foul!
Ah, but not untoward, never!
...Worry not, I'm prepared. Do you recall where the Facility is?
no subject
And. I believe I do. Will your chipper assistant let me in.
no subject
That little contraption is becoming quite the security hazard.
Ah, well.
no subject
[But it's also kind of funny, so.]
no subject
Imagine my confusion when I returned from errands and found rodents clambering all over Marvyn.
