LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, AND GAGGLE OF FREAK OF NATURES,

INTRODUCING........ the causer of chaos, reluctant hero, deranged symbol of hope, queen of Zaun, and your FAVORITE maniac, JINX and her MOST AMAZING, USEFUL, AND GREATEST REPORT NOTES OF ALDRIP!! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‡๐Ÿงจโœจ๐ŸŽ‰

are u new and have NO idea where u are, what ure in for, and u need information FAST?? or are u some regular schmuck with a flat brain and been living ur days like a mindless dope? dont worry, the author of ur nightmares and pleasant dreams has got u covered.

READ THIS!! (special guest, rhino, who will be asking the ANTICIPATING questions.)







RHINO ASKS: what is this place?

A. it's called aldrip (but i call it aldrag because its funnier)

RHINO ASKS: hey! this thing said i did a crime, but i didnt do it!! im innocent!!

A. thats because its prrroobabbly fake and made for show.

PROOF:


[there's an audio file that she uploads, and if one presses play:]

Person a: Duplicity? That's it? There's no way that that girl hasn't done other things.
Person b: Yeah, I think that crime isn't harsh enough. Some of them aren't harsh enough at all! Who--[STATIC NOISES]
Person a: Maybe we can [MORE STATIC NOISES].
Person c: That'd be so much more interesting!!


RHINO ASKS: so what do i do? how do i get back home?

A. TRUTHBOMB IMCOMMING!! ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿ’ฅ, but this is ur home now until they decide its time for u to go home. and completing ur "sentence" =/= u automatically go home after u finish it. thats a scam.

RHINO ASKS: well FINE! i guess i just wont do the sentencing then. ๐Ÿ˜ก

A. if u dont complete ur sentence, something bad might happen to u or ur loved ones.

ex: they have the power to control ur thoughts, ur feelings, ure entire body, AND!!!! turn off ur abilities!!! so i would think twice about skipping out. the longer u wait, the more u start feeling funny!

RHINO ASKS: maybe the LOVELY LOCALS can help me out of this mess and give me answers!

A. dont bother, theyre not real, wont tell u squat, and theyre part of the system. OH!! but feel free to kill them if u want. they wont come back. and they probably wont feel a thing!

(๐Ÿ’ฅAUTHOR'S NOTE: but if u DO decide to kill them, u may or may not get punished/sentenced for it. depends on whose sitting in the big chair that day!)

RHINO ASKS: who IS in charge anyway? can i talk to them?

A. jerry > council > AI. that my theory hierarchy. and nope! jerry is a coward scumbag and wont talk to *me* whenever ive tried. mmmmaybe if he quits being a dirt slug, he'll talk to u. except, no one has seen or heard from the guy in months, unless its sentencing time inside that courthouse. the bigwigs probably told him he sux big ones, and got demoted. serves him right, throw his useless ass off a cliff!! ha ha ha!

RHINO ASKS: ugh SCREW THEM!! ill just BLOW UP THAT COURTHOUSE!

A. been there, done that, 2x. nobody likes a copycat and besides, blowing things up is *my* job. unless i give u special permission, or one of my mine. besides, exploding it wont do anything. but it did the first time!! we got sucked in a brand-new life and jacked up the system. it was pretty cool. thats where i got my cafรฉ idea.

RHINO ASKS: what was with that dream thing that happened last month? is that normal? and why do u keep talking about this...system?

A-1. oh, that's just the hierarchy ne'er-do-wells putting us to the test for their hush-hush secret scheme. get use to it, kids, because some are worse than others!!

the ai and the council might be duking it out with how to handle our rehabilitation. u know. same idea, different approach sort of thing. or maybe they switch shifts every day!!! rotating the throne. and one doesnt know what the other is doing. thats my theory and this genius is sticking to it!

A-2. (and no, NOT A2 the snowflake chick) we are in a digital computer world space.

PROOF:
- we were receiving messages about some uploading crap

- 1st explosion to courthouse = world glitched, messed up the upload, i guess, and we got warped into a new universe within aldrip. but then the ai or the council must have seen what we did, then fixed it all up again. and now aldrag is A LOT LESS ALDRAGGY!

(๐Ÿ’ฅAUTHOR NOTE: trust me. the older version of this place made me want to bash my head in, and scoop my eyeballs out with a spoon.)

- we were experiencing glitches ever since that, then we reset the system, and now thats gone.

- there was a tear in the skies of this "world" which leads to the outside????

what was seen on the other side????? โ€” do not have information โ€” ask around or ragna โ€”(๐Ÿ’ฅAUTHOR'S NOTE: i wasnt here for that, NO FAIR! )8< )

ragna had the brightest idea and shoved his arm through it. we should all congratulate the simple-minded for taking one for the team!


๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฃ JINX THEORY ๐Ÿ’ฃ๐Ÿ’ฅ: we are living inside a bubble away from the REAL reality


โœจSAFETY TIP โœจ: never touch things or jam ur arm through something thats heebie-jeebie looking. use a stick, throw a rock at it, or trick ur least favorite person to put THEIR arm through it. then u wont lose a limb.

unless SOMEBODY decides to just. u know. shoot off ur finger. then throw ur old finger in the hole. who needs them when u can have a fancier and cooler prosthetic?

and where are the pictures of this crack anyway? and why havent i seen it yet? please tell me somebody took one. how do u expect the greatest scientist alive (THAT'S ME AGAIN!) to study anything?????? come on, give me something to work with here!!

RHINO ASKS: i have more questions!

A. 1. you can die here, BUT its temporary.

2. people who died can be brought here

3. children are ??????, but the youngest i've seen so far in age was 13

4. when/if u do return home, u wont remember the life u had in aldrip or the friends u made along the way

5. when they do decide to bring u back here, u might:

1) not remember ur time here
2) immediately remember ur time here
3) gradually remember ur time here

6. if u need a place to stay: go to the Inn or nab an apartment

7. alcohol for everyone!!!

8. need to make money? ask around! my purrfect cafรฉ offers free drinks and food for newcomers for an entire
month! or i can just... hand u money. i'm loaded.

9. newcomers arrive to aldrip roughly every 2 months. give or take. people disappear/return home at random.

10. the system may be fake, but ure about 95% real. need proof to know if ure the real deal? meet me @ the city center and ill shoot u, and then we can rate between 1 and 10 on how much pain i put u in.

11. watch out for monsters outside the city limits.


got something else to ask me, just write to me here and ill drop a bomb for u. ORRR!! we can just talk, let the big fat hero make ur day better, one minute at a time. ure welcome, chuckleheads. ๐Ÿต๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™ˆ

I'd say it's more of a clean cut

demon?
jaganshi: (paved in gold paid in blood)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-02 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)

Then more likely a blade of some sort โ€ฆ

Yes. I am a demon. I donโ€™t know many around here that know or can sense the difference but who knows.
rebellions: (faaaaaaaaaascinating.)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-02 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
that so

don't think that would have anything to do with it though


[ Considering the arm he lost wasn't anywhere close to being "human"? It probably makes it even weirder that there was a difference in the result of their actions. ]
jaganshi: (i know the money's spent)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-02 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)

Chance does lean toward fickle.

Did you survive or did this place just revive you?
rebellions: (your ass is grass)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-02 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
the hell do you think I'm made of
tissue paper??

I survived just fine


[ Citation needed for the "just fine" part. ]
jaganshi: (paved in gold paid in blood)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-02 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)

Some are more fragile than others. And depending on the proximity of some kind of helpโ€ฆ

I would also be down an arm if not for technology from my home world.
rebellions: (man what a drag)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-03 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah it can be useful sometimes
still
I'd rather find my old arm


[ It might sound weird to say the least, but he's fairly sure it should still be in one piece, somewhere on the other side of that rift. And, truth to be told, he probably should find a way to pick it up before something happens to it... Hm. ]
jaganshi: (i'm not taking the punishment)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-03 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)

So either you are fine with rot or the arm isnโ€™t flesh and blood.

Either way, I would also want my own back.
rebellions: (i'll pretend i didn't see that)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-03 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
hasn't been for a long time

[ He can admit that much, at least. ]

why
was the original better?
jaganshi: (you are the devil)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-04 01:49 am (UTC)(link)

I don't like the idea of a piece of me being at someone else's disposal, if that makes sense.

If it's eaten, fine. If it's sat somewhere to rot I would rather see my chances at what technology or a good demon world salve can do.

If all else fails I am sure I know someone who could make me something useful instead.
rebellions: it'll be fun they said (go into the abyss they said)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-09 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah that's a good point
I don't wanna someone else grabbing it if I can help it either


[ Partially because it's an uncomfortable thought, and partially because of its world-ending potential. He can only hope he'll find a way to retrieve it before anyone else stumbles upon it... ]
jaganshi: (you are the devil)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-11 01:20 am (UTC)(link)

I never managed to see anything or anyone else in there.
Which is all the more concerning, now that I think about it.
rebellions: still better than the anime tho (live act)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-13 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
well yeah
there's not much to see in the spaces between worlds


[ Somehow, he seems pretty confident in that statement. ]
jaganshi: (your evil brings me to my knees)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-16 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)

Maybe here.

I've been in those liminal spaces before and there is at least something interesting to look at, instead of a strange metal husk.
rebellions: (keyword #7462554)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-02-23 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huh... He does bring up a good point, though Ragna sees it a bit differently. The place should have been completely empty, not filled with metal. So that means... what exactly? ]

then maybe it's not that
maybe there's still another world on the outside?
jaganshi: (you are the devil)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2025-02-25 12:55 am (UTC)(link)

If I listen to my partner's theories on things, there is an infinite ability for there to be other places, things outside of this place... it goes on and on.

Or a more simplistic possibility is that liminal spaces here are simply boring.

This is why I don't really linger on things like this. Though I can see why you would, with the arm situation.
