Subject: A question, I guess.

Hello!

I think I've caught on to how this works, so I wanted to try it out. I thought I'd ask a quick question that might be pretty open-ended but still interesting.

If there's something you'd want to tell someone new to this whole experience, what would it be?

I guess there's no hiding it, I'm still catching on to everything. So the person you'd be telling it to would be me, in this case. Haha.

Thanks!
Vash

Oh! You've come to the right person! [Leo no, he made an open post, he didn't specifically ask you. And yet Leo's taking this as a personal challenge to teach this new guy everything he knows!]

Okay, so, weird things happen around here, like. A lot. Don't touch or eat weird things. You get curses or colds or all kinds of issues when you do. If you head to the beach, don't touch the urchins: they explode. Eustace is terrifying, so stay away from him. Make sure you learn how to use dreamotion and you can do all kinds of super awesome magical things! Sometimes your deep, dark secrets get exposed through your dreams and people can visit them. Sounds cool, but it's always the traumatic ones that everyone can see for some reason. Oh! And sometimes we get these little boobie things, there's this special well you can throw them in to get stuff back from home! I got my metal dragon back that way! Oh oh, and--

[And a beat later.]

Im just kidding. boobies are birds. men can have boobs too. you straights are boring and just call them pecs.

[morsecodes]

[just completely sidetracked away from the fact that nico's talking about man boobs. mostly because he does NOT like that nico's talking about man boobs.]

Pray tell me what are the little boobie things you speak of?

[morsecodes]

SO sometimes in the beginning of the month, youll wake up and this little orb thingy will be at your bedside! its a boobie, and theres this magic well in town, if you make a wish for something from home and throw the boobie inside, BAM!!! you get it back! also lots of glitter so be prepared to be finding that for years

[soughtrevenge]

And you can acquire aught from your own world with a single boobie? By simply tossing it into a well?

[morsecodes]

yep!! within reason, sure! i wished for my super awesome metal dragon but it only gave me a tiny version instead. which wasnt SO bad but it would be nice if they had better instructions on what will and wont work but w/e

[soughtrevenge]

you have a wyrm made of metal?? and you were able to acquire it in miniature form using one of these boobies you speak of?

[morsecodes]

a dragon
but ya
he was like
the size of a dog?
normally hes like 30ft with his tail and stuff
idk if i should have been more specific or what
anyway i start upgrading him now so hes bigger but
its hard to get the ore i need cause i have to use boobies for that too

[soughtrevenge]

Aye, I’m familiar with them and their size. I have several I would consider a friend, though they are flesh and bone with aether flowing through them, not created from metal.

[ A moment passes before another message appears ]

I don’t believe a living being could be acquired using one of the boobies, though…

[bountyfull]

this is so much... he can't help but laugh. and then laugh more as more messages pop up in response to this.

Looks like you've caused quite the mess.

Pretty sure you don't mean boobies... I don't think you throw those haha.

[morsecodes]

people take boobies very seriously around here, what can i say?

[you're not going to be the first one to get him to say that's not the right name, Vash.]

but no, not THOSE boobies. it's this orb thingy. all magic and stuff!!

[he agrees it can be confusing sometimes, but the name boobies makes way more sense than baubles.]
