[ hi everyone; here's a first time poster to the network. she usually prefers to not be seen OR heard, but given recent events she figured it would be beneficial to issue a warning to those who don't already know about what she's about to tell them. ]

I'm sure anyone who participated is already well aware of this, but as it turns out, asking the machine for details, whatever they are, leads to varying consequences. You can decide for yourself whether or not what it tells you is worth whatever it decides to take from you, but if you'd prefer not to be messed with any further than we've already been, I'd advise staying away from it when the market comes back around.

i guess it's good to know either way, but a word to the wise: nothing is ever free. especially information.

what were you so desperate to know that you were talking to a haunted version of zoltar, anyway?

[ultraviolents]

[ she knows that, or at least had figured it. she wishes someone had warned matthew. ]

the meaning of life.

[vampirella]

( good one. even the philosophy major for the past few decades can laugh at that one. )

ah, the eternal question

a better question around here would be the meaning of afterlife. seriously this place is about as exciting as watching paint dry

[ultraviolents]

you're new, aren't you? [ although she did spend half of last month asleep, so maybe she's not entirely off. ] or you somehow missed the spirit attacks.

[vampirella]

sure, new, aware of the two week long mauling

i am not sure that counts as “interesting” when apparently the spirits have been messing people this whole time. sounds same old same old to me.

[ultraviolents]

okay, fair. but i doubt you've seen the full extent of it. i haven't even seen it and i've been here a few months.

[vampirella]

probably not, and i don’t intend to. i have been accused of being a nihilist but i am not dying to die any more than i already have.

[ultraviolents]

nor am i.

[ granted, she'd more or less decided to do it before, but that doesn't mean she's eager to do it again. especially if it means coming back wrong. ]

[vampirella]

how's that working out for you? have you ended up on that bulletin before?

( she's curious how easy it is to die, even if you're not one of the heroic types running face first into danger. )

[ultraviolents]

not yet. but i've come close.

[vampirella]

hmm. this place likes to pull you into the worst of it, doesn't it

( she'll just have to be good at evading it. )
