01 - Fair Warning

Alright I'll admit it, this place is a significant improvement over the other world that I left behind. And yes, I'm saying that even keeping the doomsday magical blight in mind. Things sucked pretty bad for me, back on the other side of the mirror.

That said... I've yet to see anything that would validate the concern, but just in case, I'm putting this warning out there. If you happen to see any strange creatures running around, ones that look like globs of oil that have somehow spontaneously gained sentience and the ability to hate? Fucking tell me. And try to keep an eye on your things. Like, if you suddenly find yourself with two coffee mugs, but you're absolutely positive that you used to only have one? Smash them both.

how do they respond to bullets?

[psychotronics]

Negatively, in my experience. It'll probably take a few shots though.

[lonewanderer]

doable.

what are they?

[psychotronics]

[ She's a little bit hesitant to explain. She doesn't want to undersell the threat but, but she also doesn't want to start a panic. ]

Extraterrestrials. They're called Typhon.

I wonder how many people that have arrived through the Looking-Glass House have experienced these kinds of things before? Things a little bit like the Shades and Cwyldtid, in theory, I mean. Resembling them at least. Whether it's just a coincidence or not.

Hopefully we just have the doomsday magical blight to contend with, but I'll keep my eye out for anything that seems suspicious like you've described. Sounds like something we don't want to add to the pile.

[psychotronics]

You're right that last bit. We don't, and it isn't.

Can't say I'm interested in seeing if other people have experienced similar things in their own worlds, though. I'm not sure that the discovery of inter-dimensional convergent doomsday evolution is something I want to put on my list of accomplishments.

That sounds ominous.

I'll definitely keep an eye out.

How are they with arrows and fire?

[psychotronics]

Can't say I've ever tried using arrows on them before, but it's worth a shot.

[ See what she did there? ]

Fire's probably hit or miss though. Might work, but if it looks like it already has thermal haze coming off of it, I wouldn't bother. Some of them just absorb energy like that and launch it right back at you.

[reborningreen]

Hah. It... might be, anyway.

[ He sees, he sees. And is amused, despite himself. ]

Right, good to know. I guess I'll look for other answers. How is cold on them?

[psychotronics]

Cold could work. Again, never tried it before, but it at least doesn't sound like the kind of thing they could fire back at you.

[figmentpigment]

hello!

why

oh no Bendy

[psychotronics]

Why to which part?

[figmentpigment]

hello

why to all of it i suppose

why do you think those things which do sound very bad and nasty would be in a place like this which is so much nicer than before

and why are you the one to tell about it i am sure it is very important i am just curious what you would do and how you know about them because that sounds very unpleasant and terrible and not like something most people know!

[psychotronics]

The only reason they would be here is if they followed me here through the mirror I arrived through. They're from my world, or dimension or however you want to refer to it. That's why I know about them.

[spaghettimonster]

I SAW A MONSTER THAT LOOKED LIKE OIL IN THE DREAM...
BUT! THEY DIDN'T SEEM HATEFUL!
THEY TRIED TO PUNCH ME, BUT THEN THEY HUGGED ME, AND WE WERE FRIENDS.
SO I THINK WE'RE SQUARE.

MORE IMPORTANTLY...
HOW DO I DISTINGUISH BETWEEN -MALEVOLENT- CERAMICS,
AND SOMEBODY PLAYING PRANKS, OR GIVING GIFTS?
I'M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY, AND TRASHING ALL MY THINGS WOULDN'T BE CHEAP.

[psychotronics]

The malevolent ones will turn into amorphous tentacle creatures and launch themselves at your face.

[spaghettimonster]

SO IF I DON'T BREAK THEM... THEY'LL BREAK THEMSELVES.
SEEMS LIKE THE SAFEST, CHEAPEST BET... IS TO JUST FIGHT THEM IF THEY BECOME A PROBLEM.
WITH MY... BONES?
WHOOPS, I KEEP FORGETTING MY MAGIC IS GONE.

[psychotronics]

As a doctor I think it's my responsibility to tell you to just smash the damn mugs.

[loadme]

What happens if you don't smash them both?

[psychotronics]

You want an answer aside from 'nothing good'? It's not pretty.

[loadme]

I'm sure it can't be that bad!

[psychotronics]

It involves getting inky black tentacles shoved into your mouth and up your nose.

[boneofsword]

[It sounds more than just a bit familiar.]

So those things can mimic inanimate objects. Is there any way to tell which are which?

[psychotronics]

If you're lucky you might spot the fake one twitching a bit. Other than that? Afraid not.

[boneofsword]

How dangerous are they? From your words I surmise it's a serious threat.
