Shocktrooper: Hi guys, how u all?
Loopblade-5: We’re fine.
Telecharm: Oh hey! Skyan Teekay! Been a while!
Telecharm: What’s up?
Shocktrooper: Was gonna ask KT to ask u all but thought I should do it myself.
Electricshadow: KT?
Electricshadow: Also, hello everyone. Sorry I have been inactive. Been busy.
Shocktrooper: All cool, dude.
Shocktrooper: Also, forceahabit, Skyans shorten names in txt chats. KT is Kaytee. What Loopblade-6 TK is calling himself now.
Loopblade-1: Technically, he shouldn’t be in this chat.
Electricshadow: It’s fine. He’s still a Teekay, he just has a new nickname. Meanwhile, I’m still not sure if I’m actually connected to you all or if I just happen to coincidentally have a similar past.
Telecharm: Considering the Cycle let her universe get consumed by Corruption, wouldn’t put it past her that she made and killed other universes in similar ways.
Telecharm: Anyway, Skyan Teekay, what’s up?
Shocktrooper: Well, 2 things. 1st, did u lot get attacked by some cunt called Mindeater?
Loopblade-3: Fucking hell it nearly fucking killed Soulblade! Bit him in the neck and left him partially paralysed, then attacked Voidblade as well to “send a message” before just vanishing through a portal!
Shocktrooper: Oh.
Shocktrooper: Cunt came here and tried to kidnap and kill Litvir. Nearly managed it. Boss is currently stuck in bed, can’t move his legs, is depressed as fuck.
Loopblade-1: We were told that Mindeater had gone rogue, but Soulblade thinks that’s a massive lie.
Shocktrooper: Same here.
Shocktrooper: U know Lord Kengana?
Loopblade-5: He’s the liaison between our sects and Deathven, right?
Shocktrooper: He popped by here. Spoke to Litvir, Retvik and Vikalos. Didn’t say it but REALLY hinted that it was an assassination attempt.
Loopblade-6: Voidblade went with Litvir and Vikalos to Deathven, right? When they didn’t give your partner back? Maybe Mindeater attacked Voidblade because of that?
Loopblade-6: Also, hello, fellow Teekays.
Loopblade-4: Fuck you.
Loopblade-5: Four, don’t be a dick.
Telecharm: Wait what?
Telecharm: I’m a bit out of the loop.
Loopblade-6: Hah.
Electricshadow: Skyan Teekay, you’re a Decay Lord now? Congratulations!
Telecharm: Why… who’s your partner and why didn’t they give him back to you?
Shocktrooper: The cunts imprisoned my babe because he’s an Amalgam Mimic. Were gonna lock him up forever. Litvir got him out of there.
Telecharm: Really? I heard some stuff a couple of 4-evs back about some massive security fuckup during a council meeting, didn’t realize it was you Thantir guys.
Shocktrooper: Coulda avoided it if the cunts didn’t imprison my babe.
Shocktrooper: Which kinda brings me back to why I’m here.
Shocktrooper: Me and LK are getting married and I wanted to invite you all to the wedding.
Telecharm: Congratulations!
Telecharm: Hang on, am I invited?
Shocktrooper: Yeah. Electricshadow Teekay is too, if he wants to come.
Electricshadow: I am?
Shocktrooper: Yeah. KT says you Threan-type Retha dudes would normally have small weddings but Skyan weddings though, we like to at least fill the room and Rethan weddings normally invite quite a few guests too.
Shocktrooper: I don’t really, like, have family now though.
Telecharm: Well… I suppose it’d be nice to leave Deathven Sector Beta for a bit. I’ve got holiday time I haven’t spent… You know what? Fuck it, I’ll come! Do you guys have a teleporter point?
Shocktrooper: No, not yet. Place is barely on the map. But there’s a teleporter point somewhere in the Ventra Expanse which is kinda nearby, and you can travel through the nearby rift straight into the Kinigian Wilderness where we are.
Telecharm: Well, I gotta work things out. You got a date yet?
Shocktrooper: Not yet. Waiting until Litvir’s better. How much time in advance do you need?
Telecharm: Considering how much holiday time I have? An ev will be enough, plus 40 hours for travel. I’m looking at the map and you guys seem to be two pentaclusters away.
Loopblade-5: I want to come. We can come, right, One?
Loopblade-1: Eh, yeah. I’m sure we can arrange something.
Shocktrooper: I also kinda wanna ask Moonblade if he wants to come. Dude helped us become Decay Lords, but I dunno if it’s weird to invite him?
Loopblade-2: If you do, you kinda gotta invite his trio buddies Starblade and Cometblade too. And those two are… funny.
Shocktrooper: Ugh.
Shocktrooper: What about you, weird other Teekay?
Electricshadow: I do want to come, but we’re in the middle of a massive Corruption Purge right now. Can’t spare the troops.
Loopblade-6: Where abouts do you live, Electricshadow?
Electricshadow: In the Alsirian Sea, Kentarasa Pentacluster. I’m a member of the Alsyr Decay Lord sect, working as a medic and teleporter.
Shocktrooper: Aw that sucks. Can you give me a full address so I can at least send you a wedding favour?
Electricshadow: Uh, not really. I’ll see if I can send you a postal location though. We’re a military sect though so what we do is kinda… secretive.
Telecharm: Huh, seems like the Kentarasa Pentacluster is next door to the Patagenic Pentacluster where we all came from.
Shocktrooper: Huh.
Shocktrooper: Anyway, thanks guys. I’ll let you know when I’ve got the exact date, alright?
Telecharm: No worries, mate. Have a good one!
…
Firespitter: Hey, Kal, you little guys still doing home visits?
Shieldamp: Oh heya, Tuhis, yeah we can still meet up! What’s the problem?
Firespitter: Ugh. Another darn Voidborn. No one got stabbed, we killed the bastard, but we want to get the place checked out for Voidborn Influence. Not massively urgent, but would you be able to pop by in the next ev or so and do a quick scan of the place?
Shieldamp: Sure! We’re kinda on lockdown right now, so we can’t do the next 40 hours, but after that, we can send someone.
Firespitter: Appreciate it, little guy.
Firespitter: While you’re at it, do you lot do vaccinations for Corruption strains? Elwa thinks we need to get ours redone.
Shieldamp: When did you last get vaccinated?
Firespitter: 3 year-strings ago.
Shieldamp: You should be good. The standard vaccinations last 5 year-strings.
Shieldamp: I got a quick question for you though.
Firespitter: Uh, sure.
Shieldamp: You five are Matanaii, right?
Firespitter: Yeah.
Shieldamp: Do you guys have problems with Melek Glatorans and similar beings?
Firespitter: No?
Firespitter: We didn’t have problems with that Kanuva guy who was following you around.
Firespitter: Where are you going with this? And what happened to Kanuva?
Shieldamp: Kanuva kinda got stabbed by a Voidborn and turned into a Genera, a tiny mechanical guy smaller than we are. He insisted we put him inside a canister so he can regain his power.
Shieldamp: Just wanted to check. We’ve got a new guy working with us. He’s a sweetie but he’s lonely and needs some friends.
Firespitter: Ah. Uh, why are you in lockdown anyway?
Shieldamp: Some nasty Psion tried to kill Litvir and gave everyone else a nasty headache. We’re giving it a few hours before going back to normal in case we get further trouble.
Firespitter: Darn. I heard the Phantai guys also got attacked by a Psion.
Shieldamp: It was the same creature.
Firespitter: Ouch. Anyway, I have to start closing shop. See you soon, little guy.
Shieldamp: See ya!

Dreameater: Hello, this is Retvik, yes?
Flamebearer: Hello, yes, I am Retvik. May I ask who you are?
Dreameater: I am Letharus. You and your fellow Thantir saved me from Lord Theocydes.
Flamebearer: Ah, yes! Hello there! Litvir said you messaged him earlier.
Dreameater: Indeed. He told me what happened to him, as did Lord Vikalos.
Dreameater: I wish Litvir a swift recovery. But I also have something I wish to say to you.
Flamebearer: Oh?
Dreameater: I wanted to thank you for killing Rethanius.
Flamebearer: You are welcome, I guess. But I only killed Rethanius to stop him from sexually assaulting and killing me.
Dreameater: You did the multiverse a favour, and did what I nor Kalis could ever bring ourselves to do.
Flamebearer: I just… it was just one asshole who I killed in self-defence.
Dreameater: I believe that most people are redeemable in some way. Even Lord Theocydes, who kept me prisoner. My original universe was not a nice one, and the Void Lord was a prisoner himself who spent thousands of years chained to the edge of the universe, slowly trying to convince Kalis to kill his cruel mother.
Dreameater: But Rethanius was always a monstrous being. He was someone who always got what he wanted and enjoyed hurting others. Yes, what you did was self-defence but I am very grateful that he no longer haunts my peripheral vision or my dreams now.
Flamebearer: Well, you are welcome. I am glad I could help. And, if you want, you are free to join us, if you wish.
Dreameater: I… I am considering it. I am happy with my current duties, but it has been stressful as of late, and there has been a lot of political corruption that I thought I had escaped.
Flamebearer: Can you take time off? You could come and visit. I am certain Litvir would love to see you.
Dreameater: That would be nice, but I do somewhat need an official reason to take a break.
Flamebearer: Hm. One moment.
Flamebearer: Well, I could invite you to my brother’s wedding.
Dreameater: You have a brother?
Flamebearer: Yes. My little brother Elkay is getting married.
Dreameater: Elkay… that name seems familiar… Wait, that is the name of the new Amalgam Mimic that was briefly held in Deathven Sector Alpha.
Dreameater: You know TWO Amalgam Mimics and one of them is RELATED to you?
Flamebearer: I get that response a lot. Sadly though, Arkay is no longer with us.
Dreameater: Litvir informed me of that, yes. I am sorry.
Dreameater: Well… Let me think about your invitation. Things are hectic right now.
Flamebearer: Understandable.
Flamebearer: Please excuse me, I must tend to Litvir. I think he has pins and needles in his tail where the nerve endings are waking up.
Dreameater: Uh, alright. Have a good one, Retvik.

Souldrainer: Um.
GuestUser01262: Hello, Litvir.
GuestUser01262: Theocydes here. I worked out how to make a temporary account on Wyvern.
GuestUser01262: Did my regular 1400 hour trip to the universe that contains your Theokton friend.
GuestUser01262: I am sorry.
Souldrainer: Your timing is awkward as always, Theocydes.
GuestUser01262: How so?
Souldrainer: Arkay recently saved my life via astral projection somehow but has no idea who I am.
GuestUser01262: He is a vastly powerful but vastly contained, manipulated and controlled individual. Having the ability to astral project doesn’t surprise me.
GuestUser01262: Either way, I am genuinely sorry. Arkay reminds me of how I was when I was Bound.
Souldrainer: I appreciate the concern, but, well, Retvik and I are well aware he has passed an event horizon.
Souldrainer: We are, well, busy trying to create new positivity for other beings.
Souldrainer: In fact, I am actually glad you somehow messaged me here, because using your Voidborn communication app is, to put it politely, fucking awful, but I wanted to ask something of you.
GuestUser01262: Oh?
Souldrainer: Firstly, we are looking for new members for the Thantir, mostly for the duties of security and protection. If you know anyone who is interested, please let them know.
GuestUser01262: I can do that, no worries.
Souldrainer: Secondly, two of our younger members are getting married soon. I wondered if you wished to join us for the wedding ceremony.
GuestUser01262: Hah. It does sound sweet, but the presence of one formerly Culted Voidborn at a peaceful location is bound to attract more aggressive ones. I may be Adogtic now, but I carry a scent that younglings very much dislike.
Souldrainer: We get Voidborn visitors on the regular, requesting purification services. You would not be too out of place.
GuestUser01262: Oh. Hm. Well… I will consider it. Would you mind sending me the details on Κ̸̯̣̿̈́̈́Ε̸̯͉̈́Ν̶̹̍̑Ό̸̢̲͛͜Μ̴̡͆̔Ι̶̫͘Λ̷̡̩͙̈́͗Ι̵͕͖͑̔Α̷̢̼͌? please?
GuestUser01262: Wow that really scrambled the default Voidborn font.
Souldrainer: To be fair, you are not supposed to be on here. But I will send you the information. I take it I will not be able to message you back on this account?
GuestUser01262: It will only last another 2 hours, so no.
Souldrainer: Very well. Thank you for the… uh… pain and sympathy.
GuestUser01262: Apologies. Farewell, Litvir.
Souldrainer: Stay safe, Theocydes.
