Thanks! Yeah, with some avatars you can just tell immediately. Like with the Spiral, they usually defy reality and/or make your brain hurt somehow. Buried? Always dirt on them somewhere, and they smell like it. And Eye avatars always have issues with eye contact. Either they stare you down unblinking, or they’ll look anywhere but your eyes. Although the second one could just be neurodivergence.

Hi! I was told I 'have to go out and make friends' in order to 'avoid a terrible fate probably.' I don't know how to do that, but you look cool. So hi? I -uh- I don't have a better opening. I... wow, this is terrible. How do people do this?

Real, honestly. Making friends is annoying. I'm Julian, what's your name?

[julian-of-the-vast]

Oh neat! I’m an avatar of the Vast, if you hadn’t already guessed.

I approve of this message.

Actually it’s down too! And in every other direction!

What's up?

Don’t you fucking dare.

Hear me out: Seagulls are the perfect animal representation of the Vast because they tend to be associated with both land and sea.

They’re also slightly evil.

[julian-of-the-vast]

Absolutely

Did you know piano keys don’t taste like white and dark chocolate anymore?

Truly a shame!

I can’t believe the music industry has been ruined.

Aw man there go my sunday plans

[julian-of-the-vast]

yeah fair

I’ve kinda figured out why they’re there. My theory is that when i imagined my domain the first time, it was a seaside amusement park. So in theory, if it had an end, which it doesn’t, there would be a beach. Hence the seagulls.

I am NOT a seagull.

but i do see where they’re coming from here

Julian hears the note of concern in Charlotte’s voice and calls out as well. “Kid?”

You said you needed a distraction.

I found a lead.

Wasn’t really expecting it… but…

Whatever, you want to come confront my childhood trauma with me?

@numberonespiderhater

Sure, what’s up?

[julian-of-the-vast]

“Unless you’re looking for mold and mice, no.” Julian shudders as his boot lands in something unidentifiable but concerningly sticky.

Julian skirted broken boards and tried not to touch the moldy remains of what used to be hay.

Julian mock saluted Charlotte and headed up into the hayloft, unsure what he was looking for.

Julian nods. “I’ll stay within shouting distance. Plus, I’ve always got an easy way out.” He winks at Charlotte.

“So this is where we were originally heading? You never actually told me.” Julian peers around, jumping a little as a mouse skitters past his foot.

“Julian. Nice to meet you!” Julian could sense the presence of the Buried, but this was a kid, and he wasn’t going to be rude.

HEY! BURIED CHILD!

heheheeheh what if I just throw a vast avatar at you.

✨ @julian-of-the-vast has been thrown✨

w- wait what? No, please don’t throw a-

[she yelped, ducking as the Vast avatar came crashing down just barely a couple feet from her. Almost immediately Sophia stepped away, not wanting to bee to near someone who could tear the earth out from under her and send her careening into the blue.]

…are… are you ok?
