2, 19, and 48 for the ask game ::]

2. “How… old… am I? Was I…? I … I don’t really know. I lost track… I uh- 17…? Maybe? I’m seeing a bunch of numbers at once… we’ll just go with 17.”

19. “The quantum grove! I like to sit on the shard and close my eyes whenever i think too much… the noise, pins and needles and stuff.. it uh.. drowns out my thoughts! If I’m on the shard, I won’t end up… not alive.”

48. “The Eye…” *they shiver* “ultimately… it was a good… hopeful thing. But it was scary… scary, dark… and quiet. T-Too quiet. I… I don’t like the quiet. Th-That storm… I felt like it was pulling me in… lulling me… and i felt this.. this dread- that if i disappeared— that id never reappear again. That id become one with that storm… forever….”

“So, folks!

(Art post! Ask Kimber is back baby!)

“Yknow, in quantum space- sometimes it feels like alongside spacetime, cultures fluctuate and merge as one. Weird, right? I wonder if i should start writing more of my random thoughts here- I mean- it’s right here on the ship computer, what am I to lose?”

[ask-kimberlite]

Have you freed the Prisoner today my beautiful butterfly? 💙🦋

“Errr… somewhere in my weird memory… I know that name. Maybe Helio said it…? I.. I remember a pretty mural- but it’s all… fuzzy. Maybe I’ll find it with the others one day.”

[ask-kimberlite]

Soooo....how did you go from 'Nomai are cool' to 'I'm in a 1-sided unrequited relationship with a 5/6 dead alien?'

“OH NO YOU FOUND IT- I mean whaaaaaatt? I didn’t start a blog because i got bored one loop noooo never—— and it just kinda happened, she said that thing and i just-“ *panic fluster hum*

(QSB POST)

[ask-kimberlite]

Say Kimber, did you know that the simulation has more stars than the actual sky? Just a thought

“Wait- are you for real?! COOL!!! I might have to try that out… just- not by myself. That place is freaky…”

[ask-kimberlite]

(FIRST ART POST!!!)

“I thought you guys might wanna see what I wear when I’m not in my spacesuit! Just figure I’d get a little sunshine before it… yknow… kaboom?”

[ask-kimberlite]

Hmm, what's your experience like in the simulation? Would yoy even count as being "observed" there?

“Mm… great question! Since I’m asleep in the real world, there’s a little bit of quantum fuzz in my head, but otherwise, I feel normal! It’s a dream, and I don’t teleport in dreams. But my *self* self… that’s a different story. I don’t think anything counts as being observed in there, because normally if I’m lookin at a picture or being watched then all the quantum white noise goes away. I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing if I’m secretly being watched.. haha! But yeah, in the sim, white noise does not go away. It just… muffles when I’m dreaming. Probably so my brain can do whatever.”

[ask-kimberlite]

what's your favourite outer wilds ventures explosion story?

“There’s so many of those… hearth. Do you mean one of mine? I blew my reactor crashing face first into what I thought was a clear patch of space- n all of a sudden! Boom! There was a huge ship right in front of my face! I..couldn’t fire the retro rockets fast enough.”

[ask-kimberlite]

Hey Kimberlite, what do you see when nobody's observing you?

“A lotta stuff! A lot of the time it’s like I’m seeing a different planet in each eye, and I feel like I’m dying horribly— but I’ve gotten used to it!”

[ask-kimberlite]

“Heya! Kimber here! I ran out of stupid ideas, so I decided to answer your questions! Don’t blink! That won’t go very well!”
