Okay, since we're getting close to the endgame here and you've all seen what feng/I am capable of, really no point in withholding now:
My role name is
Illusionist, Town-aligned/Follower of Komena.
To paraphrase the role flavour text, I am acutely aware of the millions of realities and how they intersect, but am deeply conflicted with the state of existence because I myself am only human and only ever exist in one. I ponder on how one can think they are speaking to someone else, when in another reality it's me they are speaking to, I ponder on how one can think they are touching someone else, when in another reality it is me they're touching, I ponder on how one can think they are killing someone else, when in another reality they are killing me; hence, in my terrible insight of how all the potential paths of existence still lead to a single fate, I am a Lightning Rod, 1-shot.
What feng seemingly (I'll be honest, I haven't read through all of my past self's posts) withheld from telling/hinting to you after his decision to activate our power, however, is that during the vortex that redirected all of your actions towards us/me, he also received a message that Night (someone's power is messaging? Maybe an x-shot? And it was redirected to feng/me). It isn't clear who it was originally meant for, and it simply states, "
Dial 2 for Peripseros."
So, when I read this, I hadn't really fully read through the thread at that point yet (*
cough*andIstillhaven't*
cough*), so I didn't really know what the '2' meant. Then, y'all start talking in my presence about anti-gods Spells '1' and '2' Yesterday (which I did read), and this news to me plus the Witter thing I had noticed in my read-through up 'til that point starts to make, er, sense to me, hence but not hence my blindfire gambit. Anyway, I now assume this snippet of text meant a
confirmation that Spell 2 is the one that kills Peripseros. Trustworthy and actionable? From me? totes.
And apparently, I lack the power to execute that information myself, as evidenced by my sordid display Yesterday (and admittedly, I mixed the word streams, so there's that).
so then
As you all know; my predecessor, fengshuifever, received a dream from an unknown source, and this PM was also forwarded to me. Now, I will elaborate/paraphrase the entirety of it as best I can; in it, he dreamed of walking a strange wasteland where the night sky was cloudy yet as bright as the moon. However, glancing downwards he noticed that his feet were coated in spider webs, like a pair of gross shoes. Other than this oddity, he walked for hours across the barren landscape without any further incident; eventually, he tired and collapsed, whereupon he woke from his slumber.
Well, last Night, it was I who dreamt once more.
In this second dream, I awoke face-down in the same wasteland where the moon was shrouded, exactly where I had collapsed. As I tried to get up, I couldn't; I then realized that as I lay on the earth, I was now covered head-to-toe in the spider webs that had been on my feet. I struggled in place, but stopped as I heard a muffled sound of running footsteps. It approached fast and there was nothing I could do, and as I lay still with quickened breathing, I felt the other suddenly standing over me. I sensed it bend down, and then in my ear it whispered, "
Enss first, always first." As soon as I heard this, I woke up.
Glean from that what you will, and who knows where or whom the hell this all comes from or what the first dream even did (although I do think it was purposefully sent to me as a follow-up last Night specifically because I was going at Peripseros claimant Seath at the end of D4, and also maybe because whoever sent it to me last Night probably thought I knew something concrete about the Spell usage (which I do now) after witnessing my gambit against Peripseros, and think they're helping me by correcting me by supplying me with a Power Word: Kill?), but I think it's pretty obvious what that means; that statement directly counters what Seath said Yesterday regarding 'Geosyog' being the first word to Spell 2... which only reinforces my own belief that we should test his claim to godhood Today, way before it's
really too late. Yes, I know he backed down from the claim, but I still, still totally believe he's scum cleverly hiding in plain sight, knowing that no one would dare test his claim, and especially after the lynch failure with Lone_Prodigy, so it didn't matter what he did with his claim after that.
So basically, thanks to Swamped and OceanicAir, Spell 1 has words 2 and 3 apparently ready to fire now, and just needs the first to go.
After last Night, Spell 2's word 1 (which Seath supplied) is in contention by me, as
I contend the first is 'Enss' as apparently dreamt by me because I was Inception'd last Night, not 'Geosyog' as he says it is.
Anyway, I doubt I'll get traction for eliminating Seath now for any reasons seeing as I utterly failed to Yesterday (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE MOST LOGICAL AND SMARTEST THING FOR US TO DO THEN), so I won't be pushing Seath any more, I guess
gg scum
gg Seath
