[ here's another one of those weird posts!! whomst is this??? ]

i talked to the hunger again. i have information.

the main thing is that its like legion but it's made up of an entire world. or it was when it stated it's probably more now. they were people but they're not anymore. the man i talked to wasn't being possessed like i thought he was he's a spokesperson or something and he was the one who started it. he gave me this big villain speech about how life is pain and meaningless and about how he wanted to break the laws of reality or whatever to become more. i guess literally everyone in his world agreed with them that they weren't happy with limited by laws of existence and all fused together or something. they want to expand and occupy the same space as other things and basically consume everything with their shared unhappiness. he told me that i was the only person who didn't agree with him and everyone the hunger got is together without suffering and they're not dead but i don't believe it. he really wants people to see things his way.

he's also been trying to kill the director and seven of her friends. he has a theory that he has to kill all eight of them to stick and i found out he's right. i know it's hard to trust ms. lucretia but she means well and i think it would be REALLY bad if it got her so i think that we have to protect her and those other 7 if we find out who they are. i'm betting the group of 8 thing why she's still alive after dying so many times.

[ though maya herself is starting to catch up!!! ] her plan is to starve the hunger but. ryuji was right that it's in the celestial plane. like, for real. i saw john eating it. it was horrible.

there's something else i need to tell you all so come talk to me in person when we start the mission. and please don't ask me if i'm okay. i just need a little more time.

So, whether we like it or not, it's a defend the princess mission with Lucretia.

Don't believe those other things he's said, Maya. There's no way in a million different hells it's true.

[Still... What the hunger is saying sounds a lot like what Casariel was going on about, according to the last information post. What could be making people like Casariel think that way? Is the hunger some kind of infection...?]

[feytality]

yeah kind of. idk i think her heart is in the right place. and she did save all of us so we should have her back even if shes shady

don't worry im not buying into his garbage even if he wants me on his side. not happening.

[menarefrom]

Shady or not, we're screwed without her.

I'm not worried.

[he's not sure much could sway her in the end. The girl refused to stand down over the silliest things, she's not going to be moved for the bigger ones.]

So don't you worry, either. Whatever happens, happens. We'll just keep pushing through.

[korekara]

[ her first instinct, of course, is to want to ask if Maya's okay, but that last line has her preemptively silenced. She tries a few variations that ask the question without directly saying it – and then she realizes that she's mostly only asking for her peace of mind and not Maya's.

So she deletes everything she had written and starts over. ]

thanks so much for getting all this info for us!! it sounds like it's super tough so pleeeeeeaaaseee let us know if there's anything we can do to help ok?? ୧༼✿ ͡◕ д ◕͡ ༽୨ keep fighting, maya-chan!!

for now it sounds like the best thing to do is stick by director-san, huh? have you got any ideas for what would work best? you know this nasty hunger guy best, so i'm quizzing the expert!

[feytality]

[ honoka is very sweet and maya appreciates her concern, she just thinks there are bigger fish to fry ]

i'll do my best! thank you.

yeah. i know its tough to trust her but we have to have her back at least.

idk though. maybe if we had a way to reach all the people who agreed with him personally we could convince them hes wrong

its tough bc everyone seems to be buying into his weird emo garbage

[ryuji]

This Hunger guy sounds like a real goddamn politician. I thought we had our hands full with how messed up Shido was- this guy that convinced everyone to practically worship him... but this is a whole other level.

Look, I'll be honest.

I ain't ever really trusted Lucretia.

Too many damn secrets, too much behinds the scene shit that she does and keeps us in the dark about it until it's too late. But I ain't dumb enough to think that what she's doing isn't to save us or our home worlds.

I just dunno how we're s'posed to protect 7 other people if we don't even know who they are.

[feytality]

pretty much hes real sleazy and he wears super expensive clothes

kinda was trying to bribe me with burgers too

i don't think anyone really trusts her. but. i think that she is trying and she means well.

me neither. but its better that i dont know.

[In his own mind, Roxas has mostly been comparing the Hunger to the Darkness of his world. He's familiar with the Darkness, how it can affect people, change people, devour worlds. He has memories of people losing themselves to it. He might not understand it all, but he understands enough to know why people stand against it.

Somehow The Hunger seems a lot worse now.]

If. If he's eating the Celestial Plane...that's probably why the gods aren't answering.

[Obvious, yes, but it's hard to wrap his head around it.]

What about the other planes?

[There's...a lot he needs to think about here.]

[feytality]

yeah. we have to get it away from him somehow. but figuring out how's the problem

don't know. he got into the astral plane for sure. it's not looking good

un: garnet

[noblegarnet]

Did Lucretia say any more about her plan?

[Later, Maya will be getting a hug. No questions have to be asked for this to happen, so there.]

[feytality]

[ find her first!!!! just kidding its not hard to find her ]

it is her we're talking about

so no

but i don't know. maybe it needs the relics to stay together? how do you break up a hivemind?

[ribticklers]

the guy's a bad liar
if papyrus was in there he'd be trying to convince the guy to be a better...
world-consuming entity i guess
probably makin him spaghetti to eat instead of the celestial plane

[Sans is... Trying. A little. You can also tell he's trying because he doesn't ask Maya if she's okay even if he is concerned, because she said not to.]

[feytality]

i know right

even if he was being honest i bet he couldnt even get papyrus because papyrus is too smart and cool to get gobbled up by some edgy jerk

[ sans is trying real hard!!! so maya is tying hard too ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

wow infecting every universe with his emo sounds like one of the dumbest ways to go and ive seen some dumb ways to go
do they have to listen to mcr n hawthorn hights on repeat
poser i bet they all dress in hot topic too
the cure 4 emos is either jocks r preps

[feytality]

he dressed in a really fancy suit but i bet when hes alone he goes all goth and listens to emo bands

[On the one hand, he doesn't like having are you okay curtailed; on the other hand, Maya has asked for a personal conversation in a few days, so it can wait until then. He can be patient.]

[For now:]

...so the Hunger is basically Scientology if what they believed was actually real. Good to know!

[Wait, different frames of reference-]

I mean it's a cult.

...let me know if you need anything, even if it's just a hamburger.

[feytality]

[ the conversation isn't going to be about her emotional state, sorry wash ]

ill be okay but thanks.

yeah its really weird. but i dont think its real. life isn't ALL suffering or whatever. if he put all his discontentment towards making things better he could have really made a difference

I trust you, Maya. Whatever we need to do to protect the Director and her friends, we will. Finding out who they are should be among our top priorities.

Thank you, for sharing this with us. I know that getting this information wasn't easy for you.

[Blake knows better than to ask if she's okay, but she knows that Maya's interactions with the Hunger have been— well.

'Harrowing' would be putting it kindly.]

[feytality]

its better that i don't know who they are. he was trying to find out how to kill her through me.

[ she doesn't responded to the second part for a bit, mostly because she doesn't know what to say. it's like it was her choice to talk to him. she just wanted being trapped with him and dying to be worth something. eventually: ]

just glad i could help.

Bullshit.
You couldn't even get all demons to agree on something like that, and we're not the population of a whole world.
Also, we suck.

[None of that's exactly what he wants to say, but apparently that isn't allowed.]

[feytality]

[ don't get distracted by her wellbeing when there's plot to be discussed michael!! ]

to be fair you all used to agree humans sucked

but i don't know i believe it either. i believe him when he says its a ton of people become something else though.

[protegge]

honestly i dont trust lucretia but if you say i should i feel a lot better about trying

i guess he didnt say who her friends are? like their names or anything?

i wanna come see you
i wont ask you anything
but i wanna come see you

[feytality]

i think you can still protect someone even if you dont trust them. her heart's in the right place.

it's her so no. but its probably better that she doesnt tell me. he's pumping me for information

[ as for mista wanting to come see her: ]

okay

i'm near the womping willow

[mycrosstobear]

[she's clearly not okay, but. if she doesn't want to talk about it, they won't.]

thinks too much of himself, doesn't he

thanks for finding all this out

[feytality]

[ the irony here is that wolfwood would understand being at the mercy of a cosmic horror and trying to make futile deals with it ]

yep. he was all shocked and upset when i didn't agree that hes the best thing ever. apparently im the only one to ever disagree

glad i could help.
