[14:29] <@bobbedNonsense> so, i have a Terese here who seems to fall into a sort of waking coma the moment i take her soul gem away from her
[14:29] <ventricularPipefitter> Uh-huh.
[14:30] <ventricularPipefitter> Didn't realize you and she shared a session, actually.
[14:30] <@bobbedNonsense> mhmm we do
[14:30] <ventricularPipefitter> What'd she tell you about her situation?
[14:31] <@bobbedNonsense> i know it has something to do with her pendant, and that you and a few others know more about it
[14:31] <@bobbedNonsense> but aside from that list of names and a couple nods, i'm not getting any communication out of her
[14:32] <ventricularPipefitter> Her world of origin was deeply corrupted by Angelic influences and she suffers from intense, chronic, damage that has not had the opportunity to recover in the normal fashion because her pendant is a vector as well as a masking/coping mechanism.
[14:33] <@bobbedNonsense> okay so i'm dropping this thing in a waterproof pouch of lightshake right now and back in my sylladex
[14:33] <ventricularPipefitter> Or, well. That was my read on the situation when she shared the photography with me.
[14:34] <ventricularPipefitter> That'll do for a start. It...mm. Makes people more like eachother/more like other pendant bearers. Hiveminds 'em up. I'm going to be checking my notes here to make sure I'm not getting the details wrong, but that was the gist.
[14:35] <@bobbedNonsense> i've been using [mIrAcLeS] to check on her- which, yes, i know, 'poor man's [Heartlines]' but i work with what i've got- and i'm just seeing something i /can/t/ identify
[14:36] <ventricularPipefitter> Poorman's [Soulsight], actually. Heartlines is the emotional support network one you don't use on the corrupted. Which is a damn shame, because 'feeling less alone' is pretty powerful.
[14:37] <ventricularPipefitter> But go on: what's the trippy colour vision telling you?
03[14:37] * candiedApples is now known as staApp|online
[14:37] <@bobbedNonsense> yes ok i got the term wrong i'm working with the Wrath here
[14:37] <@bobbedNonsense> it's like
[14:37] <@bobbedNonsense> liquid metal and sunset
[14:37] <@bobbedNonsense> which is not a colour
03[14:37] * Muss is now known as musDec|Offline
[14:38] <ventricularPipefitter> Hm. Interesting. Liquid metal, that's...Tears-esque, although they trend more pearlescent. Sunset brings to mind 'fire,' but....hm. Does it feel like an absence or a presence? How do the boundaries move, or interact with other pieces?
[14:40] <@bobbedNonsense> it used to be mixed in with helplessness, confusion, being scared, and useless but that was before i took the pendant off
[14:40] <@bobbedNonsense> now it's a solid wash
[14:40] <ventricularPipefitter> What would the metal taste like? This may be a bizarre question for which I apologize. Hm.
[14:40] <@bobbedNonsense> ah, my sense of taste and smell have never been great, so i can't really say
[14:41] <@bobbedNonsense> metal tastes like metal, that's as far as i can go
[14:41] <@bobbedNonsense> (i can't smell at all, bugger it)
[14:41] <@bobbedNonsense> it starts heavy and there's a sorta
[14:41] <@bobbedNonsense> it washes out towards the centre
[14:43] <@bobbedNonsense> as though you've bent a paper Terese and the sediment of the paint all flowed out to the edges
[14:43] <@bobbedNonsense> the metal's grey-purple if that helps
[14:44] <@bobbedNonsense> er- more maroon actually than purple
[14:44] <@bobbedNonsense> [mIrAcLeS] is subjective as hell but this doesn't match anything the Wrath could tell me about
[14:45] <ventricularPipefitter> Washed out. Well /that/ makes sense, at least? She's burnt-out. Profoundly. Unless this is a specific attribution. Hm. You -will- see emotional numbing. And [mIrAcLeS], it's usually using it for moods and emotional experiences, if I recall...
[14:45] <ventricularPipefitter> If there's some other way to use it once you're more experienced correct me.
[14:45] <@bobbedNonsense> that's the only permutation of it i've ever seen
[14:46] <@bobbedNonsense> only gets more specific, and even then, it's reliant on the emotional experiences and sensitivity of the user
[14:47] <ventricularPipefitter> Right, right. The other sorts of Wrathful divination is more like demanding of the universe, 'give me my fucking answers, bitch,' and getting them back: but that requires asking the right questions. Off-topic.
[14:47] <@bobbedNonsense> heh
[14:47] <ventricularPipefitter> [You scribble down some notes to summarize.]
[14:48] <@bobbedNonsense> i've read up on the treatment of recovering Singers- mostly from when i was sessioning with Adam
[14:49] <@bobbedNonsense> cos i was a little worrywart, but hey, valuable information anyhow
[14:49] <@bobbedNonsense> would it be safest to treat her like that, for now?
[14:51] <ventricularPipefitter> Pretty sure, yes. Although you don't, I would hope, have to worry about hostility/aggression the same way. And the sunset colour?
[14:51] <ventricularPipefitter> colour/feel/mood/patch of wobbly lightpaint.
[14:51] <@bobbedNonsense> it's actually like
[14:52] <@bobbedNonsense> if you've got a sunset and you don't look at it but you look straight up
[14:52] <ventricularPipefitter> Ohhh. Hence gray-to-maroon-to-purple.
[14:52] <@bobbedNonsense> and you've got the deep night's-comings ky blue and the clouds across it, and /they/ are what's getting the yellows and the reds
[14:52] <ventricularPipefitter> But metallic.
[14:52] <@bobbedNonsense> yeah
[14:53] <@bobbedNonsense> i guess the clouds are- lemme just check
[14:54] <@bobbedNonsense> ghnyeah
[14:54] <@bobbedNonsense> the clouds are metal
[14:56] <ventricularPipefitter> So....sunsets.
[14:57] <@bobbedNonsense> [While you rub your eyes, you go to turn off the light ball in the room. Angelic corruption recovery means cool and dark.]
[14:59] <ventricularPipefitter> So whatever you're looking at, it's...well, it was the background element or a commonly-present element when Terese was, well, acting 'herself,' and now it's all the stuff that's left over. It's a pretty dynamic and symbolically-laden combination, I'd think, for something like, 'the lights are on but nobody's home,' so...hm.
[15:00] <@bobbedNonsense> i've seen versions of 'lights are on but nobody's home' before- i would have thought that would be enough of a register for me to get something recognisable
[15:01] <ventricularPipefitter> What've you seen before? Stuff that looks the same on the outside can be /pretty different/ on the inside. Soulburn is.../looks/ like brain damage, or acts like it, more than anything else.
[15:03] <@bobbedNonsense> i say versions- i haven't seen corruption-influenced catatonia, but i've seen as the result of a Time BT, and actual coma patients
[15:04] <ventricularPipefitter> Do you know voidy amnesia?
[15:05] <@bobbedNonsense> i don't believe i've seen it
[15:05] <ventricularPipefitter> Hm. So. Sunsets.
[15:06] <ventricularPipefitter> [It has been far too long since you've /watched/ a proper sunset. You don't get very many, as a Replayer.]
[15:07] <ventricularPipefitter> What d'they mean to you?
[15:08] <@bobbedNonsense> uh
[15:08] <@bobbedNonsense> [You're about to ask 'why does that matter'- when you remember [mIrAcLeS]'s subjectivity.]
[15:09] <ventricularPipefitter> Like, what's plugging into the back of your head there.
[15:10] <@bobbedNonsense> that one is from between thailand and malaysia
[15:11] <@bobbedNonsense> literally between them, we were in a river between a malaysian town and a thai town
[15:12] <@bobbedNonsense> and i couldn't get the colours right for years until we moved back and i managed to get them to mix for one picture which i didn't even like aside from the colours
[15:12] <@bobbedNonsense> other ones are about fish and radio
[15:13] <@bobbedNonsense> but those particular colours are specific
[15:24] <ventricularPipefitter> Fish and radio?
[15:24] <@bobbedNonsense> sunset's a good time to fish
[15:25] <@bobbedNonsense> we're winding down for the evening, it's not dark enough to be able to put on a movie
[15:25] <@bobbedNonsense> radio on, listen to the BBC, fishing rods out
[15:26] <@bobbedNonsense> those would be more dark purple and bright yellow-white, though, not the colours i'm seeing on Terese
