un: why

[missingache]

Isekai???

Was this a signup thing? Because I clearly missed that.

un: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

I imagine they mean those people that came from another world...

And I don't remember a sign up.

[missingache]

I'm still not 100% sold on that idea that we have otherworlders here...

[higanbana]

we had a talking horse and the otherworlders are what you have a problem with?

[missingache]

I would put the talking horse into the otherworlder category.

It just seems too fantastical and way too sudden. How anyone is just plain okay with this is beyond me...

[higanbana]

i mean, let me put it to you this way:

first day i got the app, i woke up with my bed frozen over. it's january, so i figure it's just that my heater's busted, right?

and then greenie up there tells me to look outside and asks if i can see the northern lights, which: oh boy!! now i can!! even though we're nowhere near the range for that sort of thing? and he says it's bc i'm magical now!

naturally, i call Fucking Bullshit and go to wash my blankets.

except turns out, it ISN'T fucking bullshit. i can control ice now (ok control is a strong word but i'm working on it) and i'm more or less immune to regular-kaisou cold. which is kind of awesome, but also kind of what the fuck is this shit?

THEN a gate opens up to a bleak frozen hellscape full of frozen corpses and giant ravens.

THEN THIS MONTH i wake up one morning with red eyes and also did i mention I'M BLIND IN ONE EYE NOW, SO THAT'S GREAT, and my normie stepdad says oh it's always been that way honey, the cataract's inoperable, did you hit your head??? do we need to have a conversation about hard drugs???

also a magic baby penguin followed me home from the gate this month so now i'm a penguin mom or whatever.

so listen at this point? for me? SURE. OTHERWORLDERS MAY AS WELL HAPPEN. whole world's gone topsy-turvy anyway so what do i care!!

[missingache]

I was actually wondering about the powers thing...... the only thing that's happened to me is that I'm suddenly stronger.

I broke one of my tablet pens gripping too hard. I can see better in the dark, and I have a tiny mouse that keeps zapping spiders living with me.

But I still find it weird people from other worlds are here, and a lot of them are tech inept.

[higanbana]

love how you pick up on the cool part and just skip past the awful bits. hope nothing like this happens to you dude 🙏

also keep your zappymouse away from king. he makes bubbles sometimes i think that might end badly. and while he is a piece of shit he is also my son and if anything ever happened to him i would kill everyone in this chat and then myself so

point being yeah it's super weird that we keep getting weird fantasy transplants but like, everything else about reality is broken so why not?

[whiteshroud]

Oh, they're real. I had a lady come into my coffee shop that was all pink. Like, skin and everything.

Not even a skilled cosplayer could pull off the level of pink she was.

[missingache]

Like a hot pink or just a pink pink?

[whiteshroud]

Like she walked out of the girl's toy aisle at target pink.

[missingache]

Oh god.

That is an intense pink.

[whiteshroud]

Yeah. And it was all pink: her skin, her eyes, her hair.

She even had a pink gemstone on her chest.

un: northerncross

[onlythankyou]

No, I don't think it was. No more than the app itself was.

[missingache]

Rude. I would have loved to do something with an isekai.

[onlythankyou]

Actually going to another world sounds much more fun than this. Did you only recently become aware, too?

[missingache]

As in when did this Zodiac thing show up? Been here since it's started, and I still hate it.

Though I can't complain about the extra cash they keep tempting us with.

[motiv8]

No... I think they mean the otherworlders when they say "isekai," anyway, and we know they didn't sign up for any of this.

...Although I guess if we go through the gates every month we are kind of signing up for an isekai experience?

[missingache]

That is a good point... It would be more of one if we got powers, too.

[motiv8]

It's not impossible...

It's not really a great power or anything, but I can sense when other people are nearby now. In a space that I can't see and would otherwise have no way of knowing, I mean.

[missingache]

That's kinda creepy.... all I can do is see better in the dark, but that's just made it harder to go to bed.

[motiv8]

Creepy? I guess. I never really thought about it that way.

It's not helpful, that's for sure, being out in a crowd and suddenly intimately aware of everyone else around you. I can more or less turn it off in the dorms when I need to sleep, because of course the people next door are in bed, too, but...

[missingache]

.....

Just how much do you feel? Just that they're there, or more?

[sassery]

Definitely didn't sign up for it- I don't have time for stuff like this due to work and the season.

[missingache]

Season? Are you a doctor or something? The only season I know around now is flu season.
