Heyo guys, haven't posted here in a couple of weeks, apologies for that. So I've been thinking about the direction of this blog. After I have completed the first G4ME with Pulse finishing it, I have completely lost motivation to complete the second round. I have been so busy directing my short film and making ARGS for other fandoms, I've completely slacked on the Cryptic lore. Here's what happened in the first game here if you're curious. People know me as the ominous anon with the creepy glitchy text lol.

It was really fun getting most of the big Dispatch blogs to play this ominous game because it was cool to see them all collaborate together. And the fact that people got inspired by me and made similar things as well really brought a tear to my eye. But I felt like I couldn't get that spark back for the second round, mostly because the mod for Punch Up and Coupe dipped out and most of the blogs were in the ARG have been inactive. I'm sorry @bait-then-switch but looks like we have to pretend you got all three of those charms for the second game 😭.

Don't worry though, this will be an ARG blog with vague posts and hints but this will also work as a Dispatch Roleplay Blog too.

There will be games. Can't be a Cryptic without one. The Cryptic doesn't break promises. I've got many wicked ideas in store and it's going to be so grand with all the contestants. Very exciting.

But this time, you really do get to interact with the Cryptic (and Tom if you're lucky) even if you're not apart one of his games unlike Holden, cough cough. I've purposely not answered asks because I wanted to keep an air of mystery to the Cryptic but I realise I could still do that even when answering.

Who knows, if you're lucky enough, you might get some Holden lore, isn't that right @sardinesnewbartender?

Welp, those are all the changes I wanted to talk about.

Let's see where this takes us.

(ooc: I’m referencing the little eyeball comment on the posts between Holden and Dominic, meant to send this last night but I fell asleep-)

He's not here right now.

I... I have the knife.
