Sponsorships don't force you into killing someone, just being weird for a while. We had random foods in the UG that did that. There was a kinkshaming cupcake.

[ anyway. he shrugs. ]

I'm not looking forward to these next few weeks.

Yeah, but they can affect your mind to the point that you think you're living a completely different life, so there's no reason to think whoever's making those happen couldn't put other thoughts and urges in our heads. Just because no one's giving us ones that would force each other into killing doesn't mean they don't have them for themselves. It's a much less complicated theory than believing that they're actually somehow summoning evil influences that shouldn't even exist anymore from different dimensions, anyway.

[ like, seriously, how did rosamund get the heaven version of possession when that was just alex??? ]

But no, me neither. I think we're probably past the easier achievements at this point too, so things might just keep getting uglier and more convoluted.

God, this place is so fucking weird. How does any of this even happen in the first place? Pulling us all in is one thing, but stripping multiple deities of their powers and then getting trampled by a murder horse is just insane.

...Probably. I imagine the other side will tell us what to do if they can, but getting stuff from them takes time.

[ just shaking his head because yeah!! even to a character from a gag anime this all seems kind of insane. ]

It's still so hard to tell whether some of those weird messages are actually trying to tell us something, too. Like, last week some of us got these unsigned two-word messages — "cake switch" and "fork switch" and "plate bottom". So we were wondering if they were trying to tell us about some kind of food-related achievement? But when I asked Seo-san about those messages he said he didn't know anything about it.

There might be some... I remember there was a cake that everyone pretended was cursed when it wasn't. Switch and bottom, though, huh.

[ not the assignments. ]

I wouldn't dismiss them, but it's hard to say. Someone did have a theory about the messages getting altered on certain days for some reason, though? Whoever is signing as Gallica still hasn't owned up to it, either, even when I asked directly.
