Someone tell me that waking up in the middle of the night because of all this commotion is the reason I just saw a girl that looks exactly like me. I'm imagining things, because I didn't get enough sleep, right?

I don't have a sister-


What the hell is going on here? Just what kind of rift is this?

Do I look like I would? ...Snowballs can't talk as far as I know. What did you do now?

[alchemyxfreak]

No, but... I've learned not to question anything in this place.


I didn't do anything! It ... thinks we're its parents.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

... How would a snowball even... snowballs don't think.

Fix it.

[alchemyxfreak]

How am I supposed to do that?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

I don't know. If it calls you "daddy", there has to be something you can do. It's your kid.

[alchemyxfreak]

It called you "mommy", what the hell am I supposed to do about it?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Take responsibility for it, of course.

[alchemyxfreak]

Take responsibility for a talking snowball, that by your logic can't actually think - is in no way really my kid, and will probably disappear in a matter of days?

How much responsibility are you going to take?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Throw it at something, then. It should disappear like that.

[alchemyxfreak]

I don't think it's going to be that easy.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

...I suppose that if you want to take care of it, find a cool box. I doubt wrapping it in blankets would do it any good.

[alchemyxfreak]

Yeah... I'll do that.

And when it goes back to whatever alternate reality it came from, I'm going to pretend this never happened.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Good.

But honestly... In what kind of alternate reality do snowballs talk, let alone call us its parents? That... makes no sense.

[alchemyxfreak]

When has this place ever made much sense?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

In fact, looking at the collection of reports White Fang has now made, there are a few patterns that make sense when you analyze them.

...None of them included a talking snowball with parents, however.

[alchemyxfreak]

.... Like what?

Yeah... Didn't think they would.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

There was a similar event last year around this time. Perhaps there is something that triggers certain paths to be opened, which allows the departure and arrival of people here.

...Let's just pretend that this never happened, once it's over.

[alchemyxfreak]

Yeah, Thylas screwing up. Last year he decided to take a three day nap, and we all got to live this hell and this time he opened a rift that resulted in chaos. Even gods aren't flawless beings, after all.

Already on it.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

I wonder if whatever portal is opened during this kind of chaos might also work into the other direction. Would residence of Purgatorium be able to leave? How does whatever is preventing us from leaving know whether we are residents or not? It would be interesting to investigate.

Good. I cannot imagine having a child with you, much less a snowball. That.. doesn't even make sense in the slightest.

[alchemyxfreak]

No one found a way out last time, but since it was only really a dream in the end, there's no harm trying, at least.

I can't imagine having a kid with anyone. As long as we don't age in this place, I'm still sixteen!
