>>5399476>>5399753After some getting a handle on the intricacies of typing, as my vessel was somewhat of an inferior typist himself, I find myself in several internet communities. Most of this information is either unhelpful or inaccurate or both. Perfect. No one will consider my innocuous questions as anything other than one of your degenerate 'lizardkin' coming to know himself, or a conspiracy theorist. The main problem is how long I can tolerate this insanity before I need to drain one of these cattle-folk of the blood they're wasting by powering their worthless brain.
Oh, great, I've already made an internet 'friend' on a chat site. He can't even spell his own title out in full (or correctly), though that might be a limitation of the format or more likely just a 'l33t'-ism common to backwards denizens of this electronic madhouse. It's doubtful he even holds naval rank.
P01Carcosa: 50 j00'R3 4 L124rd-f3ll0W, Huh? 0N3 0F 7h3 L0N9-L057 d1N054ur 50uL2?
Cold_Blooded: Please write normally.
P01Carcosa: No need to be so finicky, sheesh.
So he can write correctly, he just chooses not to.
Cold_Blooded: I need to know if there are other people like me.
P01Carcosa: Of course there are, duh. Furries are huge. Or scalies, I guess.
Human culture is so abominable I can't even begin to process it. I can't just say "for real", either. Which means the best thing to ask about is adversaries. They might use the same channels, or they might hunt for real wizards among the fakes.
Cold_Blooded: I guess then... Are there people in the government who hunt the supernatural? Are they sanctioned?
P01Carcosa: Supernatural? You mean like aliens?
Cold_Blooded: Maybe. Or demons, I guess. I'm a big fan of those 'conspiracy theories'.
Cold_Blooded: They tend to be like real theories- well-supported, and suppressed because they're too dangerous.
P01Carcosa: Ah, persecuted on multiple fronts.
Is there really no way to transmit pain across the wire?
P01Carcosa: Have you heard of PX Penumbra?
Cold_Blooded: Is that a pharmaceutical company?
P01Carcosa: Nope, a supernatural news source.
P01Carcosa: They're really hot these days, they track all sorts of supernatural stuff the news doesn't cover.
P01Carcosa: Maybe you could use that to keep an eye on the cops.
That's convenient, but it's almost too convenient. What are the chances I come across such a helpful 'friend' so quickly? Those two questions would have stumped the average individual, and he reached out to me. On the other hand, there's no way a human could sniff me out just by username, could they?
