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
?

[ooc; totes encourage threadjacking for sharing purposes!!]

Ah, you speak of the people of Rumpitur. I and a few others have met them.

...But why would you suspect they were once like us? 'Tis a bold theory.

Hello, Octavian. It's nice to meet you! I'm Vash. :-)

[ and okay, there's more important stuff but also: ] What kind of personal project needs blood?

Have you spoken to the person who was beginning a blood bank?

what do you want blood for.

[Because wtf.]

i saw...something by the terminal. i'm not really sure what it was.

Did these memories seem to belong to the AI as well?

you are the second person to ask for blood on the network.

back at the terminals which were located at the desert i was overcome with feelings of love, sadness and heartbreak as we pushed toward the mechanic beside the reset. I could not tell why.

a vision? now that you mention it, i had one of those as well when heading to the terminal by the south coast area.

wait, wait, wait

you're saying there's serpents who used to be like us? that's bloody wonderful. do you know what caused them to change? a spell or something else

You went out to the terminals? ...I guess it would be safer for you out there than a lot of people.

That's... pretty strange, though. And kind of unsettling. The whole town's worth of people turning into snakes thing, I mean.

Octavian. First of all, I must thank you for your assistance in the terminal reset. I didn't get the chance to properly introduce myself. My name is Miller.

[ The uh... alchemy thing is interesting coupled with the fact he learned this person is a ghost from Root, but he's going to consider asking about that later because the other information is more pertinent right now. ]

We experienced a similar vision on the ascent of the tower. The team I was traveling with and myself. It was... esoteric but it is my understanding that we were witnessing the failure of this system from the point of view of the artificial intelligence operating it.

I can confirm that there were groups brought to this world before us. I do not know what exactly befell them. Only that at some point they stopped existing inside this simulation. They died... if you can call it that.

But this is the first I'm hearing about them turning into fucking snakes.

Are you the person who was asking for blood a few weeks ago?

the snake guys are from rumpitur
i don't know if anyone's been over there for a while, though.

what'd you see?

This is a good idea. Think you could get anyone else who had a vision to write down everything they remember about it? I had one, too. I'd like to see what kind of pieces we can put together.

[ She's dispirited, not stupid. Lack of motivation has never been her problem. ]You told someone else she seemed upset that she had to turn them into serpents? Because of 'corruption'?
