I don't remember much about my life before getting to the Bureau, I'll admit, but I do remember that on these missions we'd often share our findings together on one of these posts.

So here's another little hub for sharing that information and perhaps missed connections, too.

I haven't found much myself out by the ruins, but I did notice... has anyone been hearing strange voices?

[ooc: as suggested, you can use this post to share your findings in one cool spot. Mia won't respond to everything, but that means you can pretty much threadjack as you wish.]

I WISH I REMEMBERED GETTING TO THE BUREAU...
I WANT CLOTHES I DON'T HAVE TO BARTER FOR.

I'VE HEARD STRANGE VOICES.
SOMETIMES FROM THIN AIR, SOMETIMES FROM THICK WATER??
LIKE THE POOL AROUND MISO FOU'S.

AND. IN CASE ANYBODY GOES EXPLORING, TO LEARN NEW THINGS.
IN THE DEEP FOGGY FOREST...
IF SOMETHING FOLLOWS YOU, OUT OF SIGHT, DON'T DO ANY BIG MAGIC.
JUST CHANGE WHERE YOU ARE, AND WALK RIGHT BACK OUT.
TRYING TO FACE IT... YOU CAN'T FACE IT FOR LONG.

Hold on... You don't even remember coming to the Bureau? The inoculation ceremony, or anything?

At least I'm not the only one hearing things. There was a voice as if someone else was on stage with us at the dance festival, but there was no one besides our team.

[spaghettimonster]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT INOCULATION IS.
LET ALONE A WHOLE CEREMONY ABOUT IT!

BUT, A SECRET STAGE VOICE, HUH.
AND THEY WEREN'T UNDER THE STAGE? OR INVISIBLE?

[doubledsofjustice]

You should have been inoculated when you entered the Bureau of Balance. ALl of the rest of us were...

You weren't forced to drink the voidfish

drink?

But no, I don't think they were under the stage. Invisible's possible, but it sounded as if their voice was right next to me, or in my own head

[spaghettimonster]

MYSTERIOUS. I DIDN'T HEAR A STAGE VOICE IN MY HEAD...
MAYBE YOUR PERFORMANCE UNLOCKED SOMETHING SPECIAL.

IF I'VE STEPPED INTO BUREAU, WARDROBE, OR CLOSET,
I HAVEN'T REMEMBERED YET.
UNLESS...
WAIT.

WAIT.
IS THAT... THE VENDING MACHINE DRINK?
THOSE VILE VIALS OF MYSTERY FLUID?
-THAT- I DRANK.

[doubledsofjustice]

Yes! that's it! from what I understand the voidfish is able to confer a certain amount of information to us through its ichor.

By drinking it, that's why you can hear words like 'The Bureau' at all.

[spaghettimonster]

OH MY GOD!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

WHAT WOULD I HEAR IF I DIDN'T DRINK IT??

[doubledsofjustice]

ah... have you ever heard TV static?

[spaghettimonster]

MORE THAN I CARE TO.

[doubledsofjustice]

Well good news for you; you won't have to hear it in place of those words at all. That's exactly what it sounded like.

[spaghettimonster]

THAT'S GREAT NEWS!
PHEW! AN UNEXPECTED RELIEF.
I HADN'T EVEN KNOWN TO DREAD THE TV STATIC.

WELL.
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HEARING IT BEFORE.
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE I HATE IT!
TODAY'S A DAY FOR LEARNING THINGS.
