[ 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.

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.

wait, what do you mean unreachable? he's not answering his phone, or...?

[did somebody KILL GREG!!]

[ 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.

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.

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.

[ 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

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

( 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.

meaningful alteration of the technology in this city would appear impossible

what is the point?

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.

[who are u, anonymous]

Does this city resemble something you would find in your own world?

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.

nonnie... is that you my love...

Programmers, huh? I guess I'm in provided we're not up for some boring shit.

It isn't like there's much else to do in this place.

pretty bare bones but everything needs to start somewhere. i can share some theories & thoughts as well as observations i have made :P

[ She's read it over and the public messages. A few times. Thought about not responding, but after a day or two: ]

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?

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?

[Because what is Anonymity on the internet?]

Who is Gregor? Do you have photos? Should we print some flyers maybe and post them around town?

he ain't been at his place, either
i've been lookin for him but so far nothing

Edited (oops apartments not houses) 2023-08-02 19:27 (UTC)

Any leads on Gregor's whereabouts?
