SHIVERS

hold them safe my city / their human souls are frail steady them on urban ground / and i'll keep them from the pale

Forevermore dear radio. May our paths cross evermore.

Something is terribly wrong.

A flickering in the light a buzzing in the brain

Something will smell awesome today

And it's your duty to get up and find it.

A nice cigar?

The smoke of a clean shot?

Saltwater breeze? Bweet.

The blood, sweat, and tears of every human?

Do you experience severe anxiety symptoms when confronted with knowledge (general or on a specific subject), learning or new ideas (such as tachycardia, hypoxia, nausea, overwhelming and uncontrollable panic or fear, the thought that you are "losing control"/dying/choking/etc., excessive sweating, dizziness, light-headedness, feeling faint, chest pain, a sudden increase in blood pressure, muscle tension, etc.) and feel the need to avoid these topics to the point it may interfere with your functioning in daily life?

no

Good, good, so you probably don't have epistemophobia, also called gnosiophobia, a type of specific phobia in which you fear knowledge, then. Related to sophophobia, the fear of learning, and scolionophobia or didaskaleinophobia, fear of school. Uncertain what this asker is on about.

Why the fuck would they say that?! Absolute nonsense.

Uncertain. Perhaps it was spurred on by a misunderstanding from a specific post you made; that's the only possible reason I could think of, other than just random accusations... do you recall the exact time you received this anonymous ask? Perhaps that will tell us what it correlates with.

I'm not going to entertain this bullshit any longer. Doesn't matter when it was sent if they are so unbelievably wrong.

But... I kind of want to know where the misunderstanding came from. You know, so it can be avoided in the future? More people may assume incorrectly, too -- and they may not be like *this* anonymous asker, who was smart enough to clarify with you. We cannot allow this incorrect knowledge to be perpetuated right under our noses.

..I may have a theory..

You? *Seriously*, turtle? Why on earth would you make this assumption?

Hey! Now, now I *didn't* say it was ME. I'm just saying I might have an idea, with recent events is all.

Well, then don't say you have a theory so hesitantly, then. Nothing to be afraid of, if you have knowledge then it is your *duty* to share it. Out with it.

The anonymous asker assumed he's... scared of knowledge because... Logic likes doing puzzles?

I don't see how this conversation pertains to anything.

This pertains to... me wanting to know something. And correcting incorrect assumptions about you.

Bold fucking claim to make from a turtle. If anything is crackable here it's your shell you complete walnut.

Well it's just a theory, so- I understand it could be wrong. Oh well, toodles, have a good day gentlemen.

???

Utter idiocy.

Would knowing everything scare you my dear Conqueror? Once faced with the information of all, one truly realizes how little can be done, how little hope there is. Would it make you stronger or weaker to know that? It’s a question we’ve pondered for all we meet, I wonder how you would face Infinitum.

Your thing, not mine, don't talk to me.

A fair position to take, if not strikingly passive. We will inevitably speak more dear Conqueror, do not fear our words we will never mean you harm. After all there is only so much space in our heroes mind our paths will cross evermore and your position is too important to disappear.

HOOOOOOO FUCKINGGGG RAAAAAAAHHHHH KEEP GOING SON I BELIEVE IN YOU 💪😤🐢

Miss La Revacholier stole my color when she reincarnated me,I think. Maybe if I bathed in green dye, I could get it back..?

When-- when she what?

Reincarnation may be a strong word. We only prevented your life from passing an unfateful end. In all manners of speaking you were revived, but only because it was not your time. A word of warning hero, this cannot be performed again or you will truly go mad or worse.

We're resurrecting turtles now?

Fascinating, you are new. Or perhaps we had not noticed you. You are a being of many fates a living contradiction. I try to read you but the pages change. Nevertheless our revival of our hero was only done because their fate is set in stone and it wasn’t their time. Of course I will revive you all the same if there is no other option.

We see it all. Every color, every dimension it is all open in this fleeting second but the information is never complete. Is the information even real is this the correct reality? Who are we? Are we the right version of ourselves? Is this the correct universe?

You are not the past far from it you are beginning of a precious era, a damaged well for the parched, a hero with poisoned wounds. You may not recall much, and you may never again. Know this my hero, you are loved no matter which path you journey towards you will change the world for the better even if you don’t think so. For even though I am no god, as a spirit of Revachol I love and support you my wounded warrior.

Cooking isn't the usual use of my skills, but I'm more than willing to help you, friend. Let's make some "turtle soup"!

SHIVERS: I could save them but the procedure is risky my influence on this world has greatly waned, the best I could do is jolt them alive, their mind would be flooded with decades of information for a second. It would be like patching a wound with the pale. Do you accept this? Once it is done the side effects are unknowable.

Shivers: The sensation at first is almost comforting like a hug after centuries of solitude. Then it hits all at once the inside of your body sparks and the pain is excruciating it seems like the worst of it passes until the visions commence. Thousands of years of forgotten history play in your brain, things that have been forgotten for a reason, things that were forgotten due to their uselessness flash and you think for a second that your brain will melt. Then it stops and you are conscious but your brain feels different,fragmented.
