alright people listen up. a lot of you wanted me "ask nicer" so that's what i'm doing. i know that sounds sarcastic but it's not. i just talk like this. i'm a bunch of things, most of them pretty shitty, but one thing i'm not is a coward. i'm a big enough guy to own it when i fucked up, and i fucked up. my b. this is me trying to fix it. we gucci? oh and if all that's not convincing for you, i've got my meanest buddy on standby to kick my ass if i get too out of pocket. just @ hellion. and with a name like that you know he means business. okay? okay.

so. here's the sitch

there's an old as balls computer in the catacombs under the city. roughly similar to an ibm model 5150 circa 1981 earth for any of you nerd types. i can beam the location into your brains or draw you a map. there's also a skeleton that may or may not be alive, and no i can't expand on that. go take a look if you're curious. anyway, i booted up the thing, and it asked for security questions. the questions are as follows:

what is clark kent's middle name?
what rank esper is accelerator?
what state did scott summers grow up in?
who is nero's father?
what was jayce talis from?
what is the name of cid telamon's daughter?
what is john reese's birthday?
what is arthur morgan's favorite father's name?
who is damian wayne's mother?
what is antigone's surname?

now then. i've been getting a whole lot of questions about why the computer wants this shit and why does it know this blah blah blah. truth is the powers that be know everything there is to know about us. memories, biometrics, personal info, shit you've never told a soul. if that makes you uncomfy, then good. that means your brain works. keep it up.

i'ma be straight with you. i've got no clue what will happen if we get past the security questions. hell, i don't know if there is anything past the security questions. for all i know it'll say the answers are wrong no matter what just so we'll tear each other apart with petty infighting. that's my pet theory, but you make your own calls. i'm not your dad.

the one thing i know for sure is that we were meant to find this. or at least we're allowed to find it. i mean we've been talking about it in front of god and everybody for ages, and aurora hasn't made a peep. seems weird, right? what it's for, is it a prank, who does it belong to, what's it doing in a spooky ass crypt full of oddly humanoid bones and a skeleton that feels like it's staring into my soul? total mystery. a mystery that i personally would love to solve. if you wanna know too? great. if you don't give a shit? you do you. but none of this is gonna matter if we don't have all the answers. in other words, we do this together or not at all. capiche?

okay, qq out. hmu for further questions, otherwise talk amongst yourselves.

Hatchling Season at the Chocobo Ranch! | video, un: strife

[In the video call, Cloud is standing in the chocobo corral on the ranch beside a pallet filled with soft hay and chocobo eggs. In the background - and occasionally coming up to nibble on Cloud's hair or peek into the camera - chocobos of every age from adult to chick to gawky juvenile and many colors and subspecies wander around doing their chocobo things. Are those ones in the corner dancing? Sure looks like it.

Anyway.

Cloud picks up an egg and looks at the camera.]


Cloud here, at the chocobo ranch. It's egg season and uh, the birds have been real busy. Plus, we've been taking in some eggs out in the wild that ended up abandoned for one reason or another.

To cut to the chase, we got a ton of chocobo eggs and I'd have to get the bots to build a whole new set of stables to raise 'em all myself. So if you want an egg or five, head over here. We even had a black chocobo hatch the other day, they're pretty rare. No idea which kinds are gonna hatch from where, so...hope you're feeling lucky?

Search maintenance

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

[Tristan is hesitant to start, gaze roaming at the semi-transparent overlay before their eyes fix on that signal they were told meant things were working. they stiffen, then smile, almost apologetically.]

Ah-- Good day. I...mean to simply reach out to those I haven't already spoken to before.

[they put a hand over their heart.] I'm called Tristan. [a slight hesitation; no need for the compulsory addition here.] And...I can heal wounds, cure illness, purify food and drink...and light dark places. I want to be as useful as I can to you all, so that we may all find ourselves safely where we wish to be.

I've...already insisted as such to our handler here, yes, but...I do want you all to know that I intend to aid as much as I can. Please rely on me. The traps in those buildings, the poor souls woven in the suits... I, I can help. So I hope you will call upon me to do that. I can...only be worth that trust if I can prove it, no?

[they pause for breath, having forgotten to breathe there for a second, then smile sheepishly.]

I do hope I can...meet more of you. And learn more. So...thank you.
