#.....oops

my man has a point ngl

*

oh yeah, i forgot that since we shut down the whole, living memory system, the regulators shouldn't be taking the memories of the dead anymore

doesn't let them remember those they've already forgotten but now when people die, they actually recognise the absence

plus i mean- sphene was known by everyone in alexandria, she was their queen, their leader, they knew her face, a good chunk of people knew her personally. if they'd all forgotten her, someone so integral to alexandria as a whole, i wonder what that would have done. good thing that even if we hadn't shut down living memory, she was only memories and programming in the first place, so likely wouldn't have been forgotten

*

so i know we had to and all, but i'm uh-

i'm not exactly sure showing up to the funeral of someone we killed is polite?

*

exactly what i was just thinking ngl

but also i don't wonder if there was another way because sphene was never going to back down, she loved all of her people too much (needed to protect all of them too much) to back down

and we were never going to let her sacrifice countless lives so that she could save her peoples

our ideals were strong and at cross purposes

*

also i just didn't like sphene sorry

she rubbed me the wrong way the moment we met her and while i respect the strength of her devotion, no

i do not want to go to her funeral

*

i'm so paranoid this game has made me so paranoid they start talking about giving out painted black regulators and my brain is just screaming its a trap this is a trap

*

is it just me or was that zoom in to the regulator very ominous?

*

a short interlude to go:

wow okay i need to pick up that store set the next time it's on sale thats my new glam for next years pride march

*

as someone who has been trying to make a family tree as an xmas present for my nan, this is my current mood

*

i swear to fuck if that weapon was supposed to be gulool ja i'll-

*

so they've all been dead a while then, huh?

wonderful

zoraal ja wtf where you doing?

*

yoshi-p i swear that better not be a death flag you do not kill off gulool ja don't you dare

like i know wuk lamat is probably safe but gulool ja? do not touch the baby

*

wonderful

*

.......

..........

why do i have a feeling the subordinate was probably still living when the scientist wrote this

i hate this place

*

happy to take you out, ngl

*

wow

that is defintiely something

*

thanks i hate it

*

new erenville outfit!

we can see his biceps

*

koana!

*

excuse me those death flags earlier better not have been for koana he's not allowed to die either okay no

*

pffft i'm doing i love this

*

this is the true proof that koana is a rich kid (jokes jokes)

(but stilll oooof glasses are expensive i can't imagine having an actual spare pair that isn't just my old prescription)

*

ouch

but yeah, erenville, i'd love to take that journey with you sometime

*

erenville

the cahciua charm on his bag-

everything about this i-

*

gulool ja i love you

it makes me happy too

*

well i know what we're doing next patch lol

*

“Several audio files will now play in sequence.”

I’m cackling

I’m dying

They knew exactly what they were doing with that i’m dying

(I was also already terrified of what gulool ja is gonna find out and this has not helped :)))))

*

“I hold a future in my arms”

yeahhh teeshal ja is talking about gulool ja huh

(Pls tell me she isn’t trying to baby trap zoraal ja)

*

“Get that thing away from me” fuuuuuck poor gulool ja

he uh-

yeah-

sometimes you have questions you desperately need to have answered. and sometimes the answers hurt

*

and then his mother hid him to keep him safe for the overseer and then whatever happened at the facility happened and he was alone and

oooof

*

“sometimes things don’t work out, no matter how hard you try”

yeah, gulool ja

yeah

*

“It’s better to know, I think”

thank fuck we have not in fact traumatised the small child

i really do love gulool ja tho he’s just so sweet

*

i feel you, i do, however

this was still happening before. this is not new. what is new is that now you don't forgot about all the people who meet such uncreemonious deaths the moment they die

but you're not gonna take this well, are you?

*

i mean

there is in fact a significant point in that no lie

we don't know

like sphene probably wouldn't have let that happen but it's more than possible. however you possibly shouldn’t be focusing on that in the midst of a mob concerned with their own mortality

*

what the fuck-

*

what the fuck-

*

why doesn’t he remember the funeral-

*

the REGULATORS!

i knew they were sus

i knew they were a trap those fuckers they’re erasing the memory of sphenes death

*

i'm sorry what

*

wow if this was pre-endwalker i’d blame an ascian for this but wow who the fuck is doing this

*

“Some of you received neo regulators for the funeral, did you not” “not enough aether for everyone”

oh no

ohhhh no

I can see this is gonna go one of two ways: people are gonna start fighting for those regulators and it’s gonna get very bloody very quickly, or the people with the regulators are immediately about to become ‘endless’ (die or turned into puppets i’m guessing)

*

okay so no bloodbath (yet) and nobody is dead (yet)

what the fuck is going on

that might be sphenes crown and her image but it isn’t sphene

like wuk lamat said, she would never be content to save only some of her people, not with what she was willing to do

*

wait-

is that another sphene in living memory?

i’m bad with voices but she said ‘my people’ that’s gotta be another sphene who should still not exist
