Dallenkra: A Responsible Community Of Irresponsible People

by Medivh Aran Chromatath

Another bullet point journal just sorting our thoughts out. Life, alterhumanity, system stuff, the US election, all of it.

• I and most of the other fictives in here are working off of limited exposure and shared memories from Americans and people who have been here longer, but: BLUE TEXAS?????
• We're giddy from the election results. This is obviously not the end of the work that must be done--it is only the beginning--but it is a good step that can lead to good things. We just have to hope that the people voted in do the work and bother them when they don't.
• BLUE TEXAS? We used to live there, long before I got here, and never thought we'd see the day. Outstanding work to the people who made this possible.
• So that's all spinning around in our head, making us scatterbrained. We should probably take our Adderall but we keep forgetting until it's late enough in the day that it'll keep us up. Shit.
• WoW: Forever also launched yesterday, which has ALSO devoured our attention. We loved the beta and are loving it live, too. It's a great version of WoW that really speaks to us who are from Azeroth and also to what we all enjoy in a video game. We're excited to really delve into it for real and experience Azeroth all over again.
• We have a new headmate that hasn't been public with his existence or identity at all--in fact, only three systems know right now--and it's just. Complicated. There are good reasons for it but it's so complicated. Hopefully, we can sort it out eventually, but we knew immediately that his presence here was going to infinitely complicate things. Oh well. He's welcome here, and we like him, and we refuse to let him feel lesser because of this.
• Some of the eggs have been hatching. One hatched on the 15th into a little whelpling that wasn't ready to come out of her egg but grew too quickly for it and had to be broken out before it crushed her, and she hasn't talked or done much yet because she's been asleep with her atya, finishing her development that way. We expect to see her soon, though, as her suspected clutchmate hatched last night (just after midnight, but poked their head out before midnight--what is their birthday? Hmm) and they're doing well, although they're very sleepy still. Hatching is hard work!
• The other two eggs are younger and are still developing. We need to settle on the parent(s) for the fourth one.
• We discovered whole new areas of our headspace the other day, as detailed in a previous entry.
• Ugghhh the job market continues to be terrible. Finding a job is continuing to prove to be nearly impossible. We'll keep at it but it's demoralizing. We're taking a couple of days off while we get our brain sorted out from all of the above and then we'll get back to it.
• We have zines we need to write and submit entries for with looming due dates. We want to do it but ugghh our brain. We'll need to lock in soon because we've been "oobh I've got plany off time" for months and now we do NOT have plany off time at this point. Not even slightly.
• We need to make more recipes with corn tortillas because now that we've determined that we like them we can't get enough of them. MORE

by Medivh Aran Chromatath (and Rhonin!)

(Rhonin's interjections are marked with RH> before the line they take place in.)

Well, we had an interesting morning in headspace.

Rhonin is a traveler, meaning he's only a headmate insofar as he hangs out here periodically. He's capable of leaving right back through the door he came in, just like Andre, and we're still trying to figure out what all that means. All we know is: Rhonin and Andre came in through a door in The Tower (whatever and wherever that is), and can leave whenever they want. Their memories of their lives outside of the DWW are fragmented while here, but are fine when back at home (at least in the case of Andre.) Andre, at least, remembers events in the DWW at least fairly well while back at home, as far as we can tell, as one time, I managed to connect to him while he was out and communicate effectively through mental charades, and he didn't seem confused by my ability to do so, but had no memory of doing that once he got back to the DWW.

As a result of all of that metaphysical weirdness, Rhonin is pretty sure that he can do a little more with our headspace's physics than we usually can or are inclined to, and has wanted to look around in areas we've never been in before, and today, he decided to just go for it.
