[ HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. okay, okay, okay. he'll press enter. ]


friendly neighborhood anonymous here.

so this was going to be a post about a database i'm working on with some other people and hopefully more people but one of those people seems to be unreachable now so this is also an APB for Gregor.

onto other shit: we've been working on a document that keeps all the facts we know and all the theories we're currently trying to prove/disprove. it's encrypted for obvious reasons but click the link and I'll get you access no problem [ for all those who have come across his videos on how to use encryptions and how to make yourself purely anonymous, fear not! the stupid naming conventions continue: satanwasababyboomer.doc but its safe to assume that anyone who clicks gains both access to view and edit pretty quickly. ]

this tech is pretty old for me. i'm doing what i can to make it both secure AND accessible. if you're talented with early 2000s technology c'mon down. maybe you can make something work that i can't.

i have to admit i'm not the greatest at keeping on top of things like this. could really use the extra hands in general. there are some other people looking to do the same thing as this but hard copy. mingle with them if that's your bag. assuming they reply here (please reply here if/when you see this... if you want to).

also just for my own curiosities: calling all tech people. engineers, programmers, whatever. let's put our heads together. help one another out.

ps: if you want to annoy someone that's pissing you off I recorded fart sounds, you're welcome.

I'm also currently under the impression that if you standby merely as a witness to a murder, you will also suffer consequences. I would say that is worth noting in the unspoken "rules" of this place.

@anonymous | text

[wrenchedup]

good to know.

someone also said there were consequences for "attempted" arson. which is a felony in most states where i'm from so that isn't so weird unless "attempted" meant that they thought about it but didn't do it. [ actually.... he's going to inquire right now. ]

This document is inaccurate.

The Murder victim loses a portion of their memory.

The killer experiences temporary disability: fluent aphasia. You become incapable of speaking or writing properly for a period of days afterwards.

Bystanders who witness the crimes are inflicted with traumatic flashbacks.

convenient, i was just about to message you. thanks for clearing that up. person who committed arson, or tried to, was NOT able to burn anything correct?

[ oh, man. you know... he was actually going to reach out to this guy personally but thought might as well crack the news to the people at large just in case SOMEONE knew something... ] i mean... uh, its like he was never even here?

[ squints at this link title ]

I'm not familiar with the term 'baby boomer'. [ but whatever.

must be nice to come from a world where you can say this tech is 'old'! anyway, dimitri does his due diligence and reads the document. ]

What about the kiosk? It is the only thing in this world capable of providing some kind of response.

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

[ omg cutie. please allow wrench to ruin everything. ] so after the second world war people went to bone town and babies popped out by the dozens. they were practically flying out, man. you might have gotten knocked clean out by one if you were walking down the street.

[ THAT ASIDE. ] what about the kiosk? we've exhausted it pretty thoroughly although there's always more work to be done as far as I'm concerned. someone else started tracking things that have been asked and its responses if you want the link to that. why, you have an idea regarding them?

un: TeslaCoils

[codenametesla]

You're the anonymous person Greg told me about, I take it? [The naming convention is a pretty good give away.] He reached out to me for help checking over computers to see what they'd be good for.

And... I couldn't contact him today.

[She's angry and stressed and confused all at the same time, but it won't do to air all of that here.]

I'm tech people, I guess. Though I sort of already said that. I dunno if I'm better with the 2000s tech than you are, but I'm definitely familiar with it at least and can help go through things. Also willing to learn more if need be.

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

Hey, yeah. That's me... uh, probably. There's been more of us lately which is sort of the point but anyway i'm the cardealerswhofuck person. Nice to meet you.

Junpei and I are looking around for Greg now. Haven't found anything yet. You know anything at all about what he was doing last? Oh, uh. Lemme know if you would rather this be private. I got you.

Thanks. I really am at a fucking loss here but the way I see it... the more of us, the more brainpower we have. riffing off one another, testing things someone else didn't know about, etc, etc. right?

Mister Gregor is missing? Since when?
He'd mentioned to me that there were individuals working on this database project. I assume you are one of them?
One of the theories myself and a compatriot has been tossing about is the concept that this world may be a dream. Or rather, a dream-based world created through an aggregate of Jnana energy or something equivalent to it that mimics the real-world rules of whatever dream aggregate it's drawing from, but which operates based on a set of rules that don't conform to real-world rules.
A better way of explaining it might be taking, let's say, fifty dreams of a similar universe, and averaging them out to create a standardised world that those trapped in the dream can still interact with. The dream is hosted on a platform, and needs energy to keep the dream running.
As for evidence: the consistent cyclical replenishing of supplies as if the dream as a beginning and end that consistently loops, the lack of accumulation of dust, the set boundaries that prevent exit out of a certain square footage area of the city, the fact that the world still adheres to specific laws of physics, chemistry and so on and so forth.
Given that the rules of this current world-space isn't congruent with the physical rules that govern the place where I come from (Teyvat), I was about to start interviewing individuals who understand this world better as a starting point.

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

Hey, yeah. I'm one of them. Always looking for more, too. Group effort and all that. Nice to meet you, man. Outside of potential circumstances. it's been a bit since we talked but i reached out last night or the night before...? [ SORRY HE IS... USUALLY DRUNK THESE DAYS. ] And the message went through but this morning when I opened everything up the message was gone, couldn't find his contact, etc. So pretty recently.

Your theory is a little out of my field but I'm following. My personal... uh, well, i'm not the only one to think it... anyways, the simulation theory and your dream theory have a lot of parallels.

If this is a simulation it could be easily coded in to reset the world after X amount of time and, given some things take longer to "reload" than others, exceptions are simple to add in. Also explains the borders just like your dream theory. Also there's the whole... no powers thing or limited powers thing. If we're code, like say we're a copy of our real selves downloaded into this program, then it would be easy to modify us. Also makes the penalties make sense. I've never seen indestructible handcuffs. Those suckers weren't budging.

But I think i could probably wrap my head around the mechanics of your theory. Still you and your friends are the experts so please feel free to add it to the document whenever you and have time or if you'd rather I do it, lemme know. i'd be happy to be one of those people you interview just to give you some more data.

Few questions though:
what is Jnana energy?
does your theory have an explanation for the abilities/power cap?
any idea what would happen if someone drops out of the dream?

[ greg... missing... ]

i'll ask the guys from his company if they know where gregor is
he might be busy molting somewhere
he and his cockroach arm

but in all honesty im not surprised if he did completely vanish
it happens in the city we're from all the time

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

hey, thanks. might be. no-contact is weird but idk maybe he figured something out and he'll come around to tell us all about it in a bit.

that's uh. well its not comforting but it probably wasn't meant to be, was it?

un: gebura

[bemist]

unreachable, huh
i'll keep an eye out for him but if he's not responding that's pretty unusual
he was just giving me a friendship speech about trust or something some time ago

anyway i'm not great at tech so can't offer much else

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

[ if it isn't his favorite no nonsense redhead. too bad he's anon right now. ] so what i'm getting here is that you stone faced him right the fuck out of the simulation.

you wanna learn?

[gripper]

( oh, so buggy went missing, huh? such a shame. boohoo. )

Ohoho, looking good, Anonymous.
The only thing I'm keeping a hard copy of is the kiosk questions. I'll keep it updated as I can.
I'll probably ask around and see if any of the new blood's set upon those useless hunks of junks yet... Maybe they've thought of something to ask we haven't.

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

I AM good. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

thanks for helping with that. the more minds the better, right? who knows, might be worth going through the already asked questions again every once in awhile. incase something has been "unlocked" at some point or some shit.

This is helpful. [He's going to make himself a copy though if everyone's allowed to edit it.] Though if you want more specific assistance than a free for all in the document, I'll need a name.

[ do whatever you want, friend. he ain't your mom. ] glad it can help. hope we can keep it going. there's obviously a lot left to uncover. some people are considering testing the limits of law here, self included. so keep an eye out for changes.

no name. not until i get to know you and i don't mind taking the time but that's what it is. assuming whoever or whatever brought us here knows an uncomfortable amount about us, anonymous is the only way i can obtain some sort of autonomy whether imagined or not. if you need or want to same i'm happy to show you how but that's where i'm at right now.

it does. daybreak is my theory. [ DON'T YOU RAT ON HIM, WIER. ]

@weltyang

[indwelt]

Thanks for sharing the document with all of us. It seems many of us here are quite the proactive type.

Do you have the names of those who are working on a hard copy, or do they also prefer remaining anonymous? I can't say I have too much experience with technology [ when you are the boomer.... ] but I'd like to offer my help where I can.

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

hey, no problem and thanks for offering to help.

heard about them through someone else but this was in person so i'm not sure how they feel about being public about it on this platform. lemme reach out to them and see. hoping they see this but yanno. i'll give 'em a nudge.

I can help organize it, but we'll need a different way to speak.


What are your plans you wish to accomplish? Or is it just throw something at a wall until it works?

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

i'll find you, we can discuss how you'd like to speak privately.

as for plans, i'm not a leader. i'll admit that shit freely. i'm just also not very good at sitting around waiting for something to happen either.

i want to help document the information we gather from this place in hopes we as a collective can use it to uncover some answers about what's going on or at least help other people who might join us later get an understanding of what they're in for.

my call out for programmers and engineers on the other hand might be a bit more proactive depending on who comes around and what ideas get thrown onto the table.

Text, UN: Loki

[abit_ofboth]

I have discussed such things with a few others and can confirm some of what is in your document. I do not wish to speak more openly on things that could be considered weaknesses though.

I will happily aid in finding out more information and conversing with you on what I have discovered already, as well as a few working theories, but I do not trust anything written down when I cannot currently hide it with my seidr. Have there been any discussion on other ways of communication?

@anonymous

[wrenchedup]

no need to speak on anything that makes you uncomfortable, man. we're presumably in this together for the most part barring some people that have been even more sus than my anonymous ass.

i've encrypted the documents as best as i can with the technology that we have but i agree that we should consider any encryptions might be hacked on account of whoever is responsible for us being here having access to everything we do.

if we go down that rabbit hole then you might as well assume they'd hear and see everything regardless so at the end of the day its up to your level of comfort. if you wanna test my hacking skills to see if they're up to your standard though, have at it dude. i'm bored as hell over here.

this person here is helping make hard copies of the document if you find that more secure or safe.
