really, Noah? He’s cool Okay I’m glad you ended up with somebody I was gonna suggest that teacher if you hadn’t found anyone he said he has room Yep Malleus offered me a place I wish I could get a job but I’m like You know 13 I’ve asked but everyone’s said no
You should! I think you’d probably like each other Let me know if you want me to introduce you You too man I was gonna contact Mr. Yaeger if you still needed a place Yeah, but like I don’t wanna be a freeloader I guess I just feel like I should be doing something you know? More than just the dumb missions Which like how do we even know if we fulfilled those
But mm, I know what you mean. That's why I got a job, so I could support myself while I'm here. Those missions are vague and ominous. I'd like it better if there's a clear directive.
Haha okay ( ´∀`)I’ll ask him and let you know RIGHT???? Me too! It’s driving me crazy they’re so super vague and frustrating Like remember the one about people you trust or whatever For people like you and me who came here not knowing anyone isn’t that mission kind of I don’t know Ridiculous? Pure luck?? I met someone who knows a bunch of people here like friends and family so she completes it automatically How is that fair?
Ah, that one. I don't know anyone so I figured that was just a warning rather than an actual objective. The not leaving the city is the more important part.
It’s still there as a mission and they say they have rewards and stuff If they’re just warnings then why not say so I dunno This whole thing just rubs me the wrong way Jun I’m worried Not leaving the city isn’t new to me (ーー;) not even a barrier is news But it does pose a problem Who’s powerful enough to make it And why do they want to keep us in Or Who or what are they keeping out
There's a pause from Jun, as he considers what to say. Finally, he decides to go with factual]
In your town's case, it might've been a protection barrier. Certain places will have them to protect them from evil. It's unusual to hear of one the size of a town, but it's not impossible.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the barrier that surrounds Vitae.
Ha If that barrier’s job was to protect us from evil It did a bad job. Look man don’t worry about it though I appreciate the educated guessing Like actually appreciate that’s more help than I got back home figuring this stuff out What makes you say this barrier’s different though
Ah, sorry to hear that. I could give a more precise assessment if I could see the barrier around your town but You know.
[He can't really do that atm]
The information Mr. Yaeger shared, mostly. Protection fields don't usually behave like that. If I were to guess, I'd say this barrier is meant to be a "containment field". Not only does it keep all of us in here, but it'll allows the one who created the barrier the ability to manipulate things in ways that reality wouldn't normally allow.
You couldn’t see it Don’t worry about it I mean it though, thanks for offering your thoughts Means a lot
Right, yeah I saw Bout it expanding? Ours never did that either But wait like What do you mean manipulate things in ways reality wouldn’t allow You mean it’s breaking the laws of physics?? Or something else
[Jun never knows how to accept a thank you, so he'll just...leave it. ]
Mm, it's expansion is troubling.
Breaking the laws of physics is one way it could present itself, yes. As for others ... several of the locals on the app are gaining unusual abilities and traits. None of the ones I asked remember ever experiencing anything supernatural before this. So it's possible there's been an increase of spiritual energy in the area, and the exposure to that is causing dormant abilities to manifest.
You mean like Noah? I’m worried about him This has got to be freaking him out I didn’t always have my powers When I got them Well We all freaked out at first You think you’re normal your whole life and then suddenly you’re not And it’s worse here More sinister Since the timing just can’t be a coincidence with the app showing up If you ask me, all this spiritual power stuff The barrier Lay the blame right at the feet of our shadowy overlords I mean if the barrier’s expanding Who do you think’s doing it?
Yes, like Noah. Though, I wish he'd freak out a little more about it. But he's so eager to help people.
[And it's worrying!! Noah is too nice for his own good]
I don't know. I'm still investigating that part. Honestly, what I shared with you is mostly conjecture based on my version of Earth. Things could work completely differently here and I could be off base about everything.
Heh... he’s almost a little too nice, right? I hope he doesn’t overdo it And yeah I get what you mean All that stuff I said about the barrier is based on what I know of Mayview But maybe this isn’t my Earth either Which is actually the weirdest thing I’ve ever had to contemplate And that’s saying a lot I wonder if it’s anyone’s version Like If it belongs to someone and we don’t know it
I guess I kinda wonder if it really “belongs” to the people behind Ava though But I know you told me not to overthink things Kind of a bad habit from home
Who knows It may not be any of that stuff Maybe this is some elaborate virtual reality All I know is They teleported people like you and me and Judai here There’s probably multiple Earths involved People like Noah are getting powers And it all started with us getting Ava on our phones I don’t know what the truth is But I know who I don’t trust And that’s whoever is behind Ava
text, like .... sometime after the intro log waves hands
did you find someplace to stay
That’s not like
A homeless shelter
Or a church
Or a warehouse
Or a maid cafe
text
What about you? Did you find a place?
no subject
He’s cool
Okay I’m glad you ended up with somebody
I was gonna suggest that teacher if you hadn’t found anyone he said he has room
Yep
Malleus offered me a place
I wish I could get a job but I’m like
You know
13
I’ve asked but everyone’s said no
no subject
Glad you found someone! I was worried! o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ
13 is a little young for employment.
Maybe you can run a lemonade stand?
Or mow lawns?
no subject
Let me know if you want me to introduce you
You too man
I was gonna contact Mr. Yaeger if you still needed a place
Yeah, but like
I don’t wanna be a freeloader I guess
I just feel like I should be doing something you know?
More than just the dumb missions
Which like how do we even know if we fulfilled those
no subject
But mm, I know what you mean.
That's why I got a job, so I could support myself while I'm here.
Those missions are vague and ominous.
I'd like it better if there's a clear directive.
no subject
RIGHT????
Me too!
It’s driving me crazy they’re so super vague and frustrating
Like remember the one about people you trust or whatever
For people like you and me who came here not knowing anyone isn’t that mission kind of
I don’t know
Ridiculous?
Pure luck??
I met someone who knows a bunch of people here like friends and family so she completes it automatically
How is that fair?
no subject
Ah, that one.
I don't know anyone so I figured that was just a warning rather than an actual objective.
The not leaving the city is the more important part.
no subject
If they’re just warnings then why not say so
I dunno
This whole thing just rubs me the wrong way Jun
I’m worried
Not leaving the city isn’t new to me (ーー;) not even a barrier is news
But it does pose a problem
Who’s powerful enough to make it
And why do they want to keep us in
Or
Who or what are they keeping out
no subject
Are you saying you've been in a situation like this before, Isaac?
no subject
Mayview had a huge barrier around it
I shouldn’t have been able to leave
no subject
Why did it have a barrier exactly?
no subject
I dunno
Never knew actually
It’s been there basically my whole life
No one ever told me why
Beyond “it was necessary”
no subject

no subject
I’m worried about him
This has got to be freaking him out
I didn’t always have my powers
When I got them
Well
We all freaked out at first
You think you’re normal your whole life and then suddenly you’re not
And it’s worse here
More sinister
Since the timing just can’t be a coincidence with the app showing up
If you ask me, all this spiritual power stuff
The barrier
Lay the blame right at the feet of our shadowy overlords
I mean if the barrier’s expanding
Who do you think’s doing it?
no subject
Though, I wish he'd freak out a little more about it.
But he's so eager to help people.

All that stuff I said about the barrier is based on what I know of Mayview
But maybe this isn’t my Earth either
Which is actually the weirdest thing I’ve ever had to contemplate
And that’s saying a lot
I wonder if it’s anyone’s version
Like
If it belongs to someone and we don’t know it
no subject
[But yeah he feels him on the weirdness of it not being his earth. Means it'll take a lot more to get home, that's for sure.]
"Belongs to someone"?
Wouldn't that just be the people who lived in Vitae all their lives?
no subject
I kinda wonder if it really “belongs” to the people behind Ava though
But I know you told me not to overthink things
Kind of a bad habit from home
no subject
Well, that's not impossible.
This could be a fabricated city created within a spirit realm.
I've seen that happen before.
[...Jun's led a life]
But we still need more information before we can be sure of anything.
I'd recommend not getting too attached to any one theory.
no subject
It may not be any of that stuff
Maybe this is some elaborate virtual reality
All I know is
They teleported people like you and me and Judai here
There’s probably multiple Earths involved
People like Noah are getting powers
And it all started with us getting Ava on our phones
I don’t know what the truth is
But I know who I don’t trust
And that’s whoever is behind Ava
