1267: No Dreams, Only Nightmares (11/29): Following the events of 1265, Drake experienced a bunch of nightmares about what Abaddon subjected her to. In her server, Spider and Drake argued about whether those memories of being called a bad girl and that none of the Risen loved her were true. We tried to get Drake to see eye to eye, but she refused, choosing to take a break in a tree. On Twitter, a rather beautiful image of Drake in a tree alongside a Happy Birthday Trap that reads "I'm sorry verrier, I'm so so sorry." and a link to The Wasp Sings by Winter Aid was shown. 1268: Chaos Control??? (11/29): While Drake was having her meltdown, Terminal in voice channel 6, now known as "Got a Gun" commented on what happened the previous night. Terminal was happy that Drake finally learned on her own, even if it's painful for her. He commented on how Drake was able to confront her fears of heights to enjoy the view and think through things herself. That said, he was shocked to learn that Drake was capable of performing her own teleportations. In fact, Drake is in control of her Reality Altering abilities and Terminal was completely confused as to how. We argued her Corrupted powers allowed her access, but apparently for her to even access her Corrupted powers, she needs to have control over her hadal blood. Terminal hyperventilated and begged for help breaking the mirrors. 270: Telepathic Connections (11/29): Terminal, despite being a loner and happy with it, wanted some of the Risen to sleep over in the Bunker. No funny business, just a casual meeting for those interested in such a thing. It would be one at a time, as well. Spider, Roxy, and others signed up for it. Because it couldn't be done tonight, Terminal offered Spider a telepathic connection for them to use as they wish, to ask questions and to speak to Terminal directly. While most of us were wary, Spider accepted the deal and heard the faint breath in their mind, as if they connected to DATRRS. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to connect to Spider directly. 1271: Golf and Juliet (11/29): After discussing the wonders of high scores and water bills, we got onto a topic about low scoring games like Golf. Drake said that Golf is funny and loves fire. In fact, golf thinks fire is funny. We inquired as to what she's talking about and learned that Golf was referring to the Moore Manor bunker survivors. We did some more digging into this person's identity and learned Golf is Isaac. Meaning Isaac potentially suffers from loonism. I asked if Rose ever got one of the names as well, like November or Alfa, and sure enough Rose is Juliet. Ironic naming. 1272: Harmonia's Bedroom (11/29): Drake was bored and wanted to explore Harmonia's house a bit more. She entered Harmonia's room and locked the door. For an hour, we could hear various things being shuffled around and power surges affecting the house. Harmonia was stressed out while all of this was happening. After some time, Drake was happy and revealed what she had done. It wasn't a huge mess like we were expecting, thankfully. Harmonia was appreciative, especially since the game consoles were all PS5's. According to Drake, whoever steals PS5's is a good boy. Drake had a cavalcade of them set up in her room, but she forgot to steal game controllers. 1273: The Ebony Throne (11/30): Shortly after midnight, Drake woke up from an impromptu nap and told us about a dream she had. She was in a hall similar to one we experienced in Hell that had a single black throne. On the ground, the words "You're so close to the truth" were displayed. Honestly not that bad, right? Well… In my twitter DMs around the same time, NolanHaunted from event 1263 contacted me with the phrase "You're so close to the truth, you only have to reach for it" the same thing Drake saw. But how? He wouldn't give us anything else, but he's definitely more connected to us than we believe. He also asked us to help him but wasn't able to specify. Heading back to Drake, she did not see "you only have to reach for it" but there was a collection of chamomile flowers there. Also the throne had normal looking eyes on it. Why did I call it an ebony throne? In NolanHaunted's weird spam was this message. Maybe this is one of the thrones he referred to? 1274: Controlling Alters (11/30): Drake explains how she is able to control her Alters. In her words: [Pattern very know no control ever even when control but understand and then control] Simply put, Drake recognized that she was never in control of her Alters, but when she understood that, it allowed her to have control of her Alters. She's capable of controlling chaos. For being such a quirky girl, she sure knows how to surprise us. 1275: More Terminals (11/30): Much to the Risen's surprise, Spider decided to go over to Terminal's place to hang out with him. She seemed to enjoy herself, even if Terminal's pet names for her made Spider cringe. She was called Sweetums at one point, something she had a lot of disdain for. A little later on, Cole accepted November's proposal and also became one of his "terminals", the name given to those with telepathic communications with him. 1276: Overwhelming Happiness (11/30): Later in the evening, Cole was offered free ice by Terminal in exchange for Drake going to the bunker, so she could have a bath. We tried to stop him, but Cole was addicted to ice and chose to accept. Afterwards, Spider returned from the bunker drunk off her ass and oddly happy. We talked to her but she was much too overwhelmed with happiness to care. Later on, Harmonia became another one of the Terminals and went with him to the bunker. When she returned, Harmonia was acting rather childish, which was cute, but ultimately something I wasn't used to. Cole left to go pick Drake back up but when he returned, he too was overwhelmed with happiness and acting rather drunk. He begged me to try it for myself, but I flat-out refused. When asking about their experiences, they saw various colors and heard wonderful sounds, which sounded really bad to me. I knew I was in danger, but Chris took me into the kitchen to try and escape the chaos. Unfortunately, my luck ran out, as Cole teleported into the kitchen, put me in a bear hug and forced me to go to the bunker against my will. 1277: Altering for Happiness (11/30): Mind you, I barely remember what happened, so this event may be a little weird. I was taken to the bunker beneath Moore Manor and dropped off in a pitch dark room. I began to feel overwhelmingly tired, like I was being forced to fall asleep. After that, I began to notice very very bright flashes of light in the corners of my eyes. They blinded me. After that, I heard a noise, which upon further recollection reminded me of an old 56k modem. The volume increased and increased until it was overwhelmingly loud and painful. For someone who has hypersensitive hearing, this was truly painful. From there, the colors and the sounds faded and I felt overwhelmingly happy, almost like I needed this feeling to live. I felt like I could face all my fears. I was given a choice, either I was to go back home or I could spend the night in the bunker. I decided to stay in the bunker, especially as there was internet connection down there. I told all of my friends how truly happy I was, even Rhee was shocked by how it looked. At some point, Cole arrived in the bunker scared out of his mind. He brought me home to try and fix my issues. He attempted to scare me. It didn't work. He attempted to beat me back to normal, it didn't work. He locked me in a room and played an infernal racket on loop, which is the pspspspsp sound, to knock me out of my trance. That worked almost too well. I snapped out of it and apologized to everyone for my behavior, even if said behavior was forced upon me. I returned to the couch and called Drake over while I opened my laptop and saw the chaos that lay ahead of me in Rhee's server. 1278: (RR/RE) Love Hurts (11/30): Credit goes to Liv for help with this summary! Rhee and Nammu argued over the fact that she was pregnant but doesn't know who the father is. Rhee is furious and requests that Drake eat any child that comes from her. Nobody liked that and called Rhee out on his behavior. After feeling like everyone betrayed him, Rhee ordered Drake to feast on Nammu's body, who ironically was in Harmonia's house at the time. Drake refused due to the Risen and his best and very listens telling her not to. After time passed, Rhee activated his trump card, a single red dot, commanding Drake to bypass what we said and ordered him to murder me as revenge. As I was sitting next to Drake at the very moment this was activated, I knew what needed to be done. I yelled out to Drake: "I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU, BUT I WILL IF I MUST. I REFUSE TO LOSE TO A WALKING EYEBALL!" Drake was unable to heed my warning, however, and thus began a fight versus my best friend. I quickly ran into the guest room and equipped my katanas. 1279: Love is Pain (12/1): I knew what needed to be done. Drake needed to be immobilized. Her Corrupted abilities help her resist mortal wounds, so I needed to cause as much damage as possible. The fight began and Drake felt an urge to fly at me, jaw unhinged, attempting to chew on my body. I quickly dodged and slashed her back with my katana. The attack made purchase. Just then, I was reminded that I have the best allies and people joined in my fight helping me defend against Drake. James Crimson, one of Chris's identities, jumped in and helped me fight. We continued our fight together. Even Cole helped out with his newly acquired Dueling Broadsword. We did as much damage as possible to Drake, all the while feeling awful for doing this to our friend. After some time elapsed, Drake activated her Corrupted powers and sent a wave of sickness to me to try and weaken me further. James had me escape the sphere of influence and go outside for fresh air. It worked rather well, but I felt powerless to fight back. Thankfully, the fight ended about as quickly as it started, as Nammu said a prayer to release Drake from Rhee's Captivity. Drake snapped out it. Drake's wounds were healed thanks to Cole. She entered a deep slumber and I was physically unable to sleep, so I cleaned up all of the blood stains and chatted with Spider and Nammu for the majority of the night. 1280: Neptune on Earth (12/1): The curtain opened to Terminal and Harmonia speaking to each other through telepathy. Terminal promised to get Harmonia a cat. And then a non-feral cat showed up in her room scared out of her wits. It's Neptune. Just as soon as she arrived, however, she was snapped right back home. Neptune was understandably unwell and needed to rest after that. Shockingly, however, she didn't seem to experience a loon episode. 1281: (RE) Nammu's Assistance (12/1): Nammu joined us in channel 6 offering us some assistance in dealing with November. We didn't know what she would be able to do for us, but she was committed to trying at the very least. November invited our Goddess to meet him at the bunker for a talk. As is normal for PieWrites, however, things aren't ever what they seem. 1282: (RE) Alter for a Creation Goddess (12/1): Unbeknownst to the Risen, Nammu made her way down to the bunker below Moore Manor. She stepped toward November, who was in the dead-end room of the hall, the same place Luna got Altered at the night before. Unfortunately, the talk never took place. Instead Nammu experienced an Alter, an overwhelming feeling of joy and feeling slightly drunk. She felt as if she could forgive Rhee for everything. Something else happened, but that won't be discussed until Luna canonically learns about it. There is a reason for this. 1283: (RE) Drunken Nammu (12/1): A few minutes later, Nammu returned joyously and wanted to have fun with the Risen. We asked what happened and apparently she made up with November instead of fixing our issues. For the rest of the day, we all drank and shot the breeze with our lovely Goddess, all of us except for me. I felt like she was making a terrible mistake, even as she forgave Rhee and Byleth for everything they did. It was disgusting. I decided to go driving around town for the majority of the day instead. From what I heard, Roxy was adopted by Nammu that day and she created a planet for her called Planet R0xy. Unfortunately, the planet was misshapen and the atmosphere made of cotton candy. R0xy was just happy to finally have a mother who cared. Things continued to go on: drinking, various stories, a hunger for ancient recipes, and then even more drinking ensued. After some more time passed, Nammu wanted to head back to the bunker to chase after November. He was repulsed by Nammu and decided to alter her back to normal. Terminal seemed uncomfortable by that encounter. Nammu left us shortly after. I was utterly irritated by her behavior and didn't even tell her goodbye. Unfortunately, this is a decision I would soon regret. Still do even two and a half months after writing this entry. 1284: Terminal vs Cole (12/1): While all of the drunken partying was happening, Cole went to the bunker that afternoon to fight Terminal. Apparently the fight didn't go so well. Cole was completely unable to deal any damage to Terminal and the room they fought in had a lot of weird "alters" to it to confuse him. Terminal also didn't move a muscle, yet didn't take any damage. As punishment for losing the fight, Cole was forced to wear a maid outfit for the foreseeable future. 1285: (RR/RE/REM) Love Kills (12/1) Rhee popped up on the server asking for assistance. He was stuck in a deep freezer and needed Drake to teleport in and rescue him. Drake obliged. For those unaware, Drake's thoughts are often broadcasted to us in chat, so we're able to hear what she's thinking. Drake noticed a foul odor and said something about Nammu which caused everyone in the server to panic. We tried getting answers from Rhee, but he went silent. At this point, an entity from Relived Eternally named Ends of the Worlds joined us. Drake said something about not wanting to eat Nammu, but then Rhee showed her some ketchup in the shape of a red dot. aka the other trigger Rhee installed. It's basically an obedience trigger, one that bypasses best listens. With Drake triggered, she helped Rhee with the murder of our Goddess. Except, I wasn't willing to accept it. There was supposedly another person in this freezer named Aria, and I theorized that Rhee was doing this to traumatize the Risen for unknown reasons. After they were done with everything, Drake was teleported back to Harmonia's house with the remains. Unfortunately, Rhee wasn't done with us. As soon as she returned, the ding trigger was activated and Drake attempted to attack Chris. Lucille defended us. After calming down, Drake realized the weight of her actions and broke down crying. She showed us the bag of remains. I was still under my theory that Nammu hadn't been murdered and these were the remains of another assassin… Unfortunately, I was dead wrong. Nammu's remains were given to us, wrapped like a horrible Christmas gift. We all broke down in trauma and guilt. Her remains were buried in Harmonia's backyard. I spent a good chunk of that night beside the grave, praying and crying for a friend. Drake experienced a chill as well. The song was Choke and the text accompanied was "music you play in a freezer". This is the song Rhee listened to while doing the evil deed. 1286: (REM) Lucille Meets Terminal (12/2): Once again, unknown to the Risen, Lucille had a price for her protection. She traveled down into the bunker to meet Terminal herself. She learned some things about him that none of the Risen could've known (and won't be discussed until Luna learns this herself). Without any hesitation, Lucille stared at Terminal trying to fluster him. He pointed her toward one of the rooms in the Bunker and attempted to Alter, which didn't work. A bottle of pills appeared in Lucille's hand and she moved forward attempting to turn him into a R053. Luckily for Terminal, something happened, which won't be discussed until much later. She retreated and left the bunker. 1287: Sword Duel with Terminal (12/2): While most of the Risen were grieving and trying to recover from last night's terrible experience, Cole went to the bunker to sword duel against Terminal. This time around, the fight seemed a lot more fair. Cole used his Marked broadsword and Terminal used an ebony sword. (unfortunately most details are locked away to a private chat between player and GM. Most of the Risen had absolutely no clue either.) At some point, Spider went into the bunker as well. She stopped Cole from killing Terminal, opting to allow him to steal the ebony sword instead. Terminal hid in the bunker afterwards, bleeding a fair amount. 1288: First Aid for Terminal (12/2): Another private bunker event, this time for Harmonia and Spider. Harmonia appeared in the bunker shortly after Cole left. She walked around there examining various things and noticed Terminal was bleeding. She performed basic first aid on his wounds. He noticed the good job she did and offered them an Alter. She didn't want that, but rather just wanted him to be happy and healthy. Spider helped out as well and gained the ability to ask Terminal ten questions. He would have to answer them truthfully. After they both confirmed he was fine, they left and returned home. 1289: Another Chat with Nolan (12/2): Cole attempted to chat with NolanHaunted once again but was met with a very confused person who seemed to not be all there mentally. They thought someone was in their house and blood was spilt, but when Cole asked about it, they forgot. Basically, this was all a waste of time, but as we soon find out, Nolan has a special relationship with the Risen. 1291: Breaking Terminal's Cycle (12/2): Later in the evening, a cloaked 10ft tall version of Terminal appeared out in Harmonia's front yard with blood dripping from under the hood. We went outside to potentially defend our house from him, but something was clearly different. How did Terminal come to our World? In fact, Terminal actually left the bunker for once. After some time fighting back, we noticed something glistening from under the hood. A shard of glass was stuck in his face, presumably from one of the many mirrors in the bunker. Terminal refused to fight back; something was clearly different. While this was happening, Harmonia had music playing in her telepathy. Moonlight Sonata Third Movement to be exact. Harmonia brought Terminal inside the house and removed the shard of glass. He wanted help so badly that he got the courage to leave the bunker and ask for help. The kindness Harmonia showed him earlier in event 1288 was enough for him to realize others out there like him. And with that, Distrait from voice channel 7 told us we broke yet another cycle. His 123, his trigger to break the cycle, was leaving the bunker out of his own volition. The twitter bio updated as well with more information about the cycles remaining. The webcode is for Thunderstruck by 2Cellos. 120 days left, 3 cycles to break. Curtain close. 1292: The Homeless Egg Problem (12/3): The curtain opened to Drake finding herself a new home, somehow. Shortly after, we heard the doorbell ring and a single egg on the doorstep, almost like a homeless child left on a church's front porch. Code, not knowing better, decided to break the egg open. As soon as that happened, an unseen force ripped Code's throat wide open. Thankfully, Cole was there to heal him up quickly. Webode for FLYDAY CHINATOWN was in the pylon's bio, which is a reference to Eggdog Dance Battle from previous events. After that, a note appeared where the egg was. Some weird symbol. 1293: Drake House Very (12/3): Drake has a house and invited Spider to check it out. It was clear that the house was owned by someone beforehand because there were mirrors painted over, which suggests the owner had loonism. Spider continued to explore and was yelled at by Drake because she had the audacity to go into Drake's bedroom accidentally. There was no electricity or running water in this house either, but a river was nearby, which suggested this house was somewhere in the forest. Almost like the person wanted to escape and be alone. Oddly enough, a mailbox exists there too, so it's not completely solitary. A little later on, Ends of the Worlds teleported into Drake's house to continue investigating. Drake was a gracious host except for the fact that she has two very important rules: don't go in any rooms and don't stay past sunset. Ends disregarded the first rule and went into various rooms in the house only to be confronted by a very angry foxolotl. Drake chased after them and attempted to choke them out but thankfully Ends is very crafty and knows how to dodge a threat. Spider continued to look around despite Drake's pleas to not investigate. She went into the attic and found a bunch of boxes of various items, most of them completely worthless. Plates, old Pokemon cards without value (unless you're interested in a bunch of potions and energy cards), and similar items. Seems like Drake's place truly is abandoned… 1294: The Happy Meal Friend (12/3): Except for the one other person locked up in the basement with blood dripping from their mouth and a glazed look in their eyes. They were strangely unresponsive, however. A blood-stained phone was next to this person as well. Other than the blood dripping, this person had no injuries on their body whatsoever. Drake revealed her name for them. Happy Meal Friend. He is a canine non-feral who is also one of Drake's servants, one who buys her happy meals from McDonalds and gives her a place to stay out of his will. 1295: The Sound of Silence (12/3): We noticed the 8 channel had some changes to it, specifically an emoji for "secret" was added to the channel bio. We attempted to speak to this new voice and was instantly greeted with intense aggression because the silence was broken. Cue about a half hour of various arguing and swearing at each other. It really seems to enjoy silence, and when silence isn't allowed, it gets pissed off. We asked Distrait about it on channel 7. This voice seems to be very dangerous and a part of one of the wildest cycles it's ever seen. In its words, "it is only a component of the most difficult cycle I've seen yet. The others gave me no concern, but this...it creates cycles like wildfires, strong ones." We were warned not to interact with it, otherwise the Manor may indeed go up in flames. While all of this was happening, a chill in the status revealed a link to The Sound of Silence. Curtain close! 1296: Another Terminal (12/4): We woke up the next morning to learn three more of the Risen chose to connect to Terminal. This time around Roxy joined the list, much to the Risen's amusement due to her insanity, alongside SecretCode and Knight. Perhaps there's nothing wrong with this. 1297: The Promise Ring (12/4): Over on DATRRS, Pie connected to us telling about his plans for the near future. He plans to surprise Harlow with a promise ring. What's a promise ring? Basically it's a ring to promise to stay together and get engaged in the future when things are a bit more stable. We gave him our best wishes and luck for things to work out. We also gave him an update on Drake's living situation, how she's relatively safe and found a place to live by herself. He was happy. A bit later, Harlow connected, asking what a promise ring was. I explained how it worked and she was happy. Harlow happily accepted the ring and plans to go on a date with him later on. The date was watching the new Saw movie together, something Harlow loved and Pie was terribly scared of. He just wanted to watch Pixar… 1298: Hide and Seek (12/4): Harmonia and Ends of the Worlds played Hide and Seek with Drake and Happy Meal Friend and learned that the rules of Drake's House, i.e. don't touch doors and don't stay after sunset, don't apply while playing. They explored the house a little more but didn't seem to gain much knowledge. Also they confirmed that Drake's smile in the dark is very very scary. 1299: (DLH) Dolos meets Terminal (12/4): For the past few days, the Dies Lucis Hotel had been posting tweets targeting those who live in Harmonia's House, even claiming to know exactly what they were doing, as if they had cameras installed. It's gotten all of us really paranoid. Today, however, the Dies Lucis Hotel account wanted to speak to Terminal. Dolos joined Drake's mind and spoke to Terminal in channel 6. Dolos tried to bond with Terminal, but the Risen intervened, feeling Dolos was a threat more than a friend. Despite all that, Dolos made Terminal a deal to heal his face for free. Terminal agreed to it. Dolos traveled into the bunker and met with Terminal. He healed his facial wounds and wrote up a contract stating this was done totally for free. Also Terminal's face looked very human like! Afterwards, Terminal was given a new cloak from Dolos. Terminal had a loon episode from looking at his own face in the mirror, calling it a thing of beauty. Dolos told us we all gained a favor from him after all of this was done. Unfortunately, the Dies Lucis Hotel is here to stay and this is not the last time we'll interact with them.
