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
?

After looking over some of the responses you gave to others, I can't help but think we were lucky.

Maybe that's not the right word with all the glitches, but it's better than that. The snake thing sounds irreversible. At least if I was reading all that right.

[manifestering]

That is the impression I received
vis a vis serpentine permanence
Still I am uncertain whether that particular issue has been
eradicated
?

There is always a risk of snakes

[followyourstar]

[Oh. That's. Bad.]

Maybe...

Maybe the chance is too small to matter. A very, very, very small risk of snakes.

Snakes or some other creature
The entity used snakes as a protective measure
It is this corruption of data concept that is the precursor
to snakes

[followyourstar]

I was hoping the reset would fix that sort of thing.

[Guess that's what happens when dealing with a "perpetual lack of upkeep."]

I wonder if there's even anything we can do about it. Not that I'd be much help with the debugging, but still...

[manifestering]

I imagine it has been staved off for a time
Fortunate for us

Stay vigilant for signs of corrupt or off-putting behavior
?

[followyourstar]

Right. Stay vigilant and stay away. At least until someone finds a way to fix it that doesn't involve... that. And try not to think too hard on it.

Anything else you found out out there we should be worried about?

[manifestering]

Not the best judge of what to worry about
Given my circumstances
Still I imagine that depends on you
What are you worried about
in general
?

[followyourstar]

I'm... not sure. Not something as obvious as meteors falling down from the sky, that's for sure. Doesn't help that I'm something of an outlier around here too.

Guess we're both new to all this?

[manifestering]

Regrettably
Well
Perhaps not regrettably
Frustrating though
