2023.06.01 01:10 GentlemanTwain Did they every explain those guys breaking into the house after Barry left?
One of the show's great talents is bending it's absurd humor into something closer to surreal horror. As such I think the sequence works really well poetically; a foreboding shadow watching over Sally, her entire life being upended, the dreamlike nature of the sequence. Part of me would be fine if it was all in her head. But the state of the house after John woke up made me think it literally happened.
Was it the guy from her job coming back for revenge? I sort of assumed it was NoHo Hank's men trying to find Barry but it wouldn't explain why they left so easily. Did I miss something? Or was it mostly dropped?

2023.06.01 01:09 Bvcomforti Some of my thoughts on Jung’s philosophy in our modern context
2023.06.01 01:09 Rayna1990 Tales from a PA in psychiatry
Recently discovered this sub, and it has been so eye-opening for me. Especially some of the outrageous stories of mismanagement of psychiatric medications by mid-level providers. This may get rambly, but I want to share some of my experiences from my fresh-out-of-school job as a telehealth PA, before I had a complete breakdown and took a LOA and eventually quit after 18 months.
I graduated from PA school at the end of 2019, so just before COVID. I chose to pursue PA over medical school because I thought it would be a great way have work-life balance but still provide patient care, and honestly I preferred the thought of having a supervising physician to being the one with the final word.
I was eventually hired by a startup private practice psychiatry clinic, doing exclusively telehealth at that point. It was 3 psychiatrists each working 8-12 hours a week (with a plan to eventually quit their day jobs). I was hired as their first PA, to work full time, with the plan that one of the MDs would be available to call or message with any questions. I was nervous about it, and looking back should have listened to my gut. My "interview" was a joke, it seemed like they would have taken anyone and weren't at all concerned when I asked how they felt about supervising a new grad off-site. One said he could tell I had a good heart ("heart of a nurse?"), that was the most important thing because he could teach me the medicine but not how to care about people. I was flattered and reassured (I know, I know), and I was genuinely interested in psych and thought I would learn a lot from these docs. I was still nervous, but figured I would start with easier cases and lots of support, and could refer more complicated cases to them. Plus I was kinda burying my head in the sand because I would need to start paying back my loans soon.
Well, it turns out, I was seeing anything and everything on my own from the beginning, and not once did one of them agree to see one of my complicated patients for a follow-up/consultation, I stopped even bothering to ask. Any time I brought up that some cases seemed out of my scope or more appropriate for an MD, I was at best told I needed to be more confident and at worst made to feel like I was a problem. And the "support" I got from them when I had clinical questions was quite lacking. 2 of them were sometimes helpful but hard to get a hold of and often checked out, and the 3rd was downright hostile, often wouldn't even meaningfully answer my question, and made me cry several times. I quickly became afraid to ask questions and would only do so as a last resort.
So many instances where, despite being (I think) a fairly fast learner, conscientious, and aware of my limitations, I am sure I was misdiagnosing, inappropriately treating and /or under-treating because I was afraid to make any med changes for fear of being wrong and making things worse. It's so hard because I didn't know what I didn't know, so it's hard to know just how bad it was. At least this practice didn't see kids.
Just one example that comes to mind (don't recall details sorry): mid 20s male with OCD and severe MDD witg past episodes of psychotic features, not taking any medications at that time but had previously tried SO many meds and cocktails and had a bad experience so was reluctant to try any meds again, wanted a "second opinion" specifically to see if he would be a good candidate for TMS or ketamine treatment. I had heard. A little bit about both and was interested to learn more, but certainly didn't feel qualified to assess or counsel a patient about them. I reviewed his intake form the morning before his appointment and recognized that this was out of my depths. I then saw that one of the MDs had an open slot for an intake that same afternoon. This MD even had listed ECT and TMS among his special interests so it seemed like a great fit. I called to ask if he would be willing to see the patient, and he flat out told me there was no need for that, I am a provider and therefore am perfectly qualified, if I didn't feel I knew enough about these treatments I should read about them. I said of course I would love to read about these topics, but didn't have time to read enough to be prepared for this patient that day. He brushed it off and then emailed me a PowerPoint presentation about TMS from a conference he had gone to 2 years before. When we hung up I cried, had a panic attack over lunch, but muddled my way through the appointment, literally reading the PowerPoint slides as I was "educating" the patient. The patient and mom ended up happy because I "listened," but I feel like I totally wasted their time and money.
By the way, I also "learned" from this same psychiatrist to use seroquel as a PRN for anxiety and sleep, and that it was much better than hydroxyzine which was "useless." Not really blaming him; the real problem is that I didn't have the knowledge or training to know to question or verify this advice.
Then within 6 months of me starting the 2 checked-out MDs both abruptly quit, and I was left inheriting ALL of their patients. The remaining MD had been doing 1 clinical day a week but instead of increasing that to pick up some of the slack, he REDUCED his hours to a half day, and passed some of his patients on to me. His plan was now to hire more mid-levels and phase out of clinical practice entirely so he could be "available" for supervision. They hired 2 PAs (one from Family Med, one from Emergency Med) and a new grad psych NP. I kid you not, the "training" for each of these people was to shadow me (a PA with less than a year experience plus a 4 week psych rotation) for a week.
They then hired a more experienced psych NP who was very eager to mentor me. I'm sure some of the advice she gave me may have been good, but looking back I'm sure it was the blind leading the blind. She mainly talked to me a lot about "imposter syndrome" and reassured me she read my notes and could see I provided "exceptional care". Who knows, maybe I wasn't terrible but I am certain I wasn't exceptional. And even calling it "imposter syndrome" feels inappropriate because that implies I was actually qualified for the job I was doing, and I don't think I was. "Imposter syndrome" was really just having a conscience.
Now, as a PA in family practice, things are better but still rough. I live in an "independent practice" state which the doctors and other midlevels at my clinic seem to like, but it feels wrong to me. My coworkers are all very nice, but they are so burnt out and overbooked. The clinic has 8 midlevels and only 4 docs 1 of whom is retiring and 1 is very part time. A lot of times when I have questions the only people around to ask are other PAs, which is probably OK most of the time but not great.
I am also grappling with it feeling wrong for me to be a patient's "primary care provider." I am proud of my degree and being a PA, but I don't think it prepared me to be the "provider" someone sees instead of ever seeing a doctor. I had envisioned more of an "extender" role. Of course, I knew what I signed up for, and I'm not saying the other PAs I work with aren't good at what they do. I just feel like I am a kid playing doctor. Meanwhile, a new grad PA just started and she fits right in, is very confident and already asking to see a full schedule (I dragged my feet on that as long as I could). So maybe I'm the problem, and medicine just isn't right for me. I am also dealing with pretty significant postpartum depression and anxiety right now (went back to work 2 months ago), so i am sure my judgement is clouded and I shouldn't make major career decisions right now. The thought of switching careers after just 3 years is horrifying but so is the thought of staying.
I guess my point is, I don't think I have the delusions huge ego of a Noctor, but nonetheless I feel like I have acted like one (faking it til I make it, learning on the job, making mistakes) because that seems to be what our health care system pushes me to be. I wonder how many PAs and NPs out there feel the same.

2023.06.01 01:09 Successful_Thanks550 Looking for Fandom RPs!
Hello! My name is Laurel, 24f. I’m looking for new RP partners. I have been RPing mostly with one partner since I was thirteen. I stick to PG content, but I’d like my partners to be 18+. I write anywhere from two lines to four paragraphs but could adjust a little. I don’t care how much you write as long as it’s well-written, in semi-literate style.
I often do doubles so we both get what we want, but if it’s not necessary that’s okay too. I like to play a female character who dates male characters on my end, so if you hate straight ships, I’m not the partner for you! I will, however, play whoever you want for your half regardless of gender.
I usually do fandom-related stuff with either canon or OCs or a combination of the two. Right now I’m especially looking for a Marauders RP and for someone to play James Potter to my Lily. The list of fandoms I’m into includes: -Percy Jackson -Harry Potter -Marauders, as previously stated -Reign CW -The Good Place -The School for Good and Evil -Twilight -The Vampire Diaries -Divergent -The Hunger Games -loads more because I watch too much tv and read a lot
Things I won’t write- age gaps, characters older than 30 ish, NSFW, I’m not really into sci-fi.
Feel free to shoot me a message if you think we’d be a good fit! I love to talk to my RP partners as well and make friends.

Questions & Answers
General Necromancy
- Q: Why Necromancy?
- A: It has been a long time coming. The question was, how would we implement it.
When we did Archaeology, it came up quite a lot and it has always been a core part of Runescape/Gielinor's history. So it was naturally next in line. But we didn't want to do Summoning v2, a combat support skill. After discussion we agreed to make a new combat style.
We also wanted to make it Runescapey, bring all players along the journey. Making it "evil" may push some players away, but could be attractive to others. So to address that dichotomy we arrived at "Consensual Necromancy".
- Q: What does it mean to create a new combat style in 2023?
- A: Necromancy allows us to put the 20+ years of knowledge from all of our combat systems to use.
We don't want to make it feel completely distant from the existing styles but it provides the opportunity to try out new implementations to combat.
- Q: When did development start or when did the idea begin?
- A: December 2021 is when it was pitched but development didn't begin until Feb-Mar 2022.
- Q: What drove the design behind the skill icons/capes
- A: Recognition as Necromancy through the colors/icons and its use in hitsplats.
We gave a list of ideas (zombie hand, armguard, skull) to the UI artists who then came up with a few variations which expressed the idea of Necromancy. From there we decided on the skull icon. Although the Slayer icon also has a skull, this variation is different enough and incorporates the skills colors. It also needed to look good as a hitsplat.
Regarding colors, we decided on them before inverted skill capes came up, so no we didn't copy Thieving. But we went through the same process as players, using just purple and teal made it too similar to Divination so we settled on a black base. As for the trim we settled on purple since it was of the core color of the skill whilst teal is more reserved for the undead creatures.
- Q: What was designing the rituals like, how did the design process start?
- A: We wanted to make sure there was a skilling component so there's something there for everyone.
We had to consider what is Necromancy's fuel. Rituals commune with undead to fill the vessel of souls to get talent points which are needed for Necromancy. You also need it to make the impure essence. Additionally, rituals are a very Necromantic thing with the ghostly link, glyphs, candles, etc
As skilling method, it's fairly complex, but longevity playtesting has helped make it a more streamline process but also have a balance between afk and more lean forward gameplay. Also, everyone has to do rituals so they can unlock abilities and upgrade their equipment.
- Q: Will Necormancy have a lot of resources to fill your bank up?
- A: No
Since the equipment is upgradeable you will only have the 5 armour + 2 weapons from that. As for rituals we didn't introduce many new items as compared to Archaeology.
Combat
- Q: If I level up my skill through rituals does my combat level go up?
- A: Yes
It's a combat skills so it will naturally level up your combat level as the stat levels up.
As for the combat formula, it's calculated the same way as Melee, Magic, or Ranged where your highest stat out of the now 4 combat styles will affect your combat level. So if you are currently 138 your combat level won't increase until you reach level 99+ Necromancy.
Existing items with "all style" bonuses will have a Necromancy style bonus as well.
- Q: We saw ability damage ranges shown on tooltips, is this going to be implemented for all combat abilities for new player clarity?
- A: Yes.
Ultimately Necromancy is doing a lot of new things so we'd love to hear from you what's working well when it comes out. And if it works well maybe we will roll it out. For example the tooltips have now show the ability type and the cooldowns are now in cycles. We spend a lot of time making them clear, concise, and readable.
- Q: Can we conjure our allies and swap weapons?
- A: Right now you can, but it's a balance question.
If you swap weapons, should they be just as strong as if you hadn't. If they are then it could lead to a bad design space where its the only viable method. We are looking at the best way to approach it, but hybrid is definitely a high level end game thing.
Also you need both main/off-hand items equipped to use necromancy abilities to conjure.
- Q: Will existing Necromancers in the game eventually deal Necromantic damage
- A: Yes eventually.
It would encourage usage of the new protection prayer. However, since it changes existing content on top of the new skill it won't happen on release. But if it is worked on post release we can also rework their drop tables on top of that in the process, and could add creative drop such as "Taraket's armguard" as a new Necromancy weapon.
Bossing
- Q: How will it affect existing bosses?
- A: Existing bosses won't be modified to work/not work with Necromancy.
It naturally will be better against bosses like Kalphite Queen which only protect against the 3 existing styles but then there's the opposite with Dagganoth Kings/Rex matriarchs where it won't be affective.
- Q: Will you be taking on Necormany's bosses solos?
- A: Yes
You can solo both bosses, but 1 of them can be done in a group. For that boss the HP and rewards will scale based on group size. Similar to Raksha.
Lore
- Q: Will it fit into existing storylines and lore that we already know and love in Runescape?
- A: Yes, there are a few quests coming on release which tie into existing storylines/characters/places
Coming into Necromancy you don't need an understanding of that lore but those who are may pick up on some extra things. Our goal is to make sure everyone can be invested.
- Q: Is it 7 quests on release or across the entire season.
- A: Yes, but there may be a couple more.
They aren't fully blown desert treasure level quests but more akin to Archaeology mysteries+. Those provided on release will require level 1 to a high Necromancy level. Additionally Necromancy's story will be told over those quests.
- Q: Is the First Necromancer their name?
- A: No it's their title, we just haven't said their name.
- Q: Can we revive Guthix at 120 Necromancy?
- A: No he's dead, same with Bandos. However Zanik will still be around.
There's always been a rumor that all heroes for hero items are dead. We know Orlando and Hazelmeere are dead, but the other 2 people think are dead but it isn't confirmed. Maybe you might see a some dead characters in the city over time.
Environment/City
- Q: Tell us more about the name of the city?
- A: There's a lot of thought/effort put behind it. Coming up with names isn't easy.
This Necropolis is Runescape's limbo, waystation for lost souls, the leftovers of the undead society. The city itself sits on the lake/river Mnemosyne which is a call back to Greek mythology. The city is built upon the memories of people passing through it. So someone could remember their pub back into existence and as they move on it will fade away. The city will be a constant shifting landscape.
The name is silly as the area is a silly place, with combat being the serious element. playing around with the name of the city since it's an area for sillyness whilst combat is more serious. The name Um being a place where people forgot the name of. Originally it was called Um-er referencing a City of Ember (film) since it's an underground cave, light/darkness. But Um works well since there's also bridge so you can call it "Umbridge" and have it mirror the surface world Lumbridge.
- Q: Will Um be a place where players can look for clue scrolls.
- A: Yes, probably.
As a space the city and underworld can be expanded and have more content added post release. This is just the beginning of the Necromancy season and we will be building on it after the release of the skill.
- Q: Does Music play a special role in Um
- A: Yes, there's a bandstand in the middle of the city.
When you first arrive it's empty of souls so there's this strange ironic narrative where you bring life back to the city. And we can't really do that without music, and our audio team knocks it out of the park.
Tech
- Q: Has it been a challenge to make it clear whose conjures are whose?
- A: It's a difficult problem especially with our game engine team.
In the world there are limitations for the player and we have specific conjures and their amounts for a reason. Only a few at once plus summoning familiar. We haven't fully considered what to do in every scenario where there were a large number of players using them in one area. It's also unlikely people will spam them in crowded areas like the GE since it would cost them money but we can be reactive if it becomes a problem.
Other
- Q: What was the best piece of feedback a creator gave?
- A: It's all valuable, we can't pick a best as there's a variety of players with different experiences.
One area of great feedback was the teaching part. We were surprised at how much they wanted to be taught post tutorial to learn what to do.
Also based on feedback we modified the incantation, Bone Shield. Previously it triggered GCD and essentially took the place of swapping to a shield, but now it's an active ability which toggles. When you use a defensive ability with it toggled it will consume the runes required. Shields will still be useful since the incantation will act as a weaker shield based on your level.
- Q: Will Necromancy robes from Shades of Mort'ton work as Necromancy robes?
- A: They will not, and probably be renamed.
We have this new skill and we have to balance it with all the new items first. If players want legacy items to gain necromancy abilities/functions then we can absolutely address it in the future. And if we did address them we may modify them further to retain the style we've developed for Necromancy. Visual language/storytelling.
So for this particular item we are looking to rename it so tweet Mod Rowley for name suggestions.
- Q: Did you have fun?
- A: Yes we are excited even if we may be bogged down due to all of the deadlines.
Also this is the first time doing this type of stream in person in several years. Make sure to be nice to all of the Jmods when providing constructive feedback as they too want it be the best it can be.
- Q: Release Date?
- A: Capital S, "Soon"

2023.06.01 01:08 Mr_JonF Is Fromville inspired by a real-life haunted village? The case of Dudleytown
Hey Fromsters,
I've recently discovered the case of the haunting of Dudley Town, "an abandoned settlement, located in a valley known as the Dark Entry Forest, in northwestern Connecticut in the United States, best known today as a ghost town. " (Wikipedia)
You can watch a video about it here:
https://youtu.be/IGWef6g9qWI Several elements made me think of From, and they might give some keys to the mysteries surrounding Fromville:
- Dudleytown was near a forest, called the dark Entry Forest (yes, that's its real name!).
- Dudleytown, from its inception, suffered many unusual deaths, weird disappearances and cases of insanity. It was rumoured that a curse had been cast on the town since the arrival of Gideon Dudley, after whom the village was called, in 1747. The Dudley family had been cursed, or so people say, back in England, and the curse travelled with their descendant in America.
- "Records indicate that the land around Dudleytown was once Mohawk Indian tribal grounds but tell us little else before the coming of the first settlers. This region has gained a chilling reputation over the years." (source:
https://www.americanhauntingsink.com/dudleytown )
- One of the residents, William Tanner told other villagers of
"strange creatures" that came out of the woods at night.
So, what if From writers took their inspiration from real-life Dudleytown? The curse could be an explanation for all the strange things happening there. Here is a quick chronology of events as I see them:
- An Englishman arrives in the area and brings his curse with him, sometimes in the 18th century.
- Local Native-American tribe finds a way to circumvent the curse by creating talismans thanks to their shaman, or
spirit guides (like the Boy in White?). They are ultimately killed off by white people, and their ancestral knowledge is lost.
- The talismans and/ or Native American rituals might be working for a time, enough for modern installations to be built. However, some unexpected event happens (something we haven't yet witnessed in the show) and the curse comes back. People from all over begin to be caught in it. The creatures come back from the woods and feast on them.
- Time of the show.
What do you all think?

2023.06.01 01:07 Lazarinth Why did the Supreme Kai never stop Frieza?
The Supreme Kai are supposed to be protectors of the universe but they let evil people like Frieza run around casually blowing up planets and selling them. I'm sure the SK knew Frieza existed and he obviously had the power and strength to one shot him, so why didn't he stop him ?

2023.06.01 01:07 marshall_brewer I was even wondering recently when they wanna add those teased explo and shotbolt bolts for small crossbow and there you have it
2023.06.01 01:07 Diamond_Oasis I need some advice on a strange sleep experience I’ve had…
Last night I was in bed, I had a bad dream and was trying to wake up finally after a struggle I woke or so I thought. I was in another place or consciousness, I don’t quite know how to describe it but it was a sort of shadow world mimicking the real world.
I was convinced I was awake then something made me realise that something wasn’t quite right I sensed a sort of presence that wasn’t human if that makes sense. Then it dawned on me I’m not awake, but I was convinced I was. This has also happened once before this strange feeling and place.
Last time It happened I felt something enter my bed and wrap it’s arm around me, I was terrified and the feeling I got it wasn’t something friendly. Now this is where it’s going to sound super crazy, I felt like it sort of raped me or touched me inappropriate I live alone.
I would be grateful of any information or advice thank you.

2023.06.01 01:07 Your_Father01 Can y'all recommend me a crappy Isekai with lots a chapters?
I'm looking for something to get lost in, but not think too hard about.
I've read a bunch of the main stream ones, the most recent being eminence in shadow which I've been following for a while now. I'm kinda tired of over arching plots and amazing twists.
I want shitty plots and op mcs.
Thanks for reading this far.

2023.06.01 01:06 countingfoxes All His Angels Are Starving - Chapter 4
Synopsis:
It's kill or be eaten.
Jenny has enough problems: her overbearing mother, graduation and prom, and an embarrassing crush on her best friend.
But when a freak earthquake rips her high school out of New York, none of that seems to matter. Instead, Jenny comes face to face with a nightmarish threat: Angels that want to feast on human flesh.
Welcome to the Veil
Human Population Remaining: 851
First /
Previous Jenny looked back at the gloomy English wing hallway. The bodies on the floor. The bloody smears along the wall. It was quiet, but it was that thick pregnant sort of quiet right before something horrible happened in a movie.
She guessed that more angels had come in through the windows of the other classrooms, and while she and Susan had fought the one in their room, the others weren’t so lucky. Most people must have run for the stairwells, the way they’d practiced for fire drills. But after the earthquake and with these angel things… it must have been a blind panic.
Where would they even run to? The first floor? Could anyone even exit the building? They clearly weren’t in Manhattan anymore. Jenny couldn’t help looking at the girl on the floor.
Her head was at an awkward angle with a few glistening strands of muscle still attaching it to her body. Her eyes stared blankly, her mouth parted in lifeless shock. She must have been a freshman. Maybe a sophomore. Jenny pictured the younger girl tripping in the mad rush to escape, screaming as an angel grabbed her leg while all her friends and classmates and teachers kept running.
“I don’t see anymore out there,” said Susan, who peered through the double doors.
Jenny took a breath, and together they pushed through the doors and left the English wing behind them. Slowly, they stepped into the main area where every wing of the floor met. This led to the central stairwell. Down the hall across from where they stood, a light flickered in the Biology wing.
“Let’s not take these stairs,” whispered Jenny. She barely dared to breathe. Those things seemed to be attracted to sound. Maybe their empty eyes couldn’t see clearly?
Susan agreed. “Let’s cut through here,” she said, pointing to the Foreign Language department. It was a narrow hallway that led away from the central stairwell to another smaller one.
They turned the corner slowly, trying not to look at the bodies that were thankfully facedown on the floor. Susan stepped in blood.
The Foreign Languages hallway was clear, but Jenny still held her breath as they walked towards the stairwell at the end. Something rattled one of the classroom doors hard. Jenny whirled around ready to attack. “Someone’s in there,” she whispered, holding her hatchet with both hands.
Susan clicked her cattle prod on. Its static sound was almost comforting.
Jenny inched forward slowly trying to get a look through the little classroom window. It was dark inside with most of the shades drawn, but she recognized it was the French class that Susan had taken last year. A shadow moved through the gloom, rushing towards the door. Jenny stepped back just in time as the glass window shattered and an angel's head burst through, screeching and hissing. Its cries echoed throughout the hall.
Tarnished Angel (Level 4)
Susan reacted first, thrusting her prod against its face. The prongs made contact with its nose, and it stopped screeching. It violently jerked with its head struck through the door, and Jenny took the opportunity to bury her hatchet in its forehead.
You’ve defeated Tarnished Angel (Level 4)
Experience has been awarded
+10 Energy gained
Leveled up!
Jenny Huang Level 2 -> Level 3
+2 Stat Points
Breathing hard, Jenny stepped back wanting to study the angel. What was the difference now that it was level 4? But they heard shuffling and hissing echoing down the hall. It came from the direction of the biology department, and it was getting louder.
She glanced at Susan whose eyes went wide. Then Jenny spotted the boy’s bathroom. They’d never make it to the stairwell, but maybe they could hide. She grabbed Susan’s arm and pulled her inside, carefully shutting the door so it wouldn’t make a sound. There was no knob, no lock. It was a push-to-open door.
The stench of the bathroom was thick and miasmic, and she clenched her teeth to keep from gagging. Susan gasped, and Jenny turned around, keeping her back pressed to the door, and saw what was causing the smell.
On the floor beside the urinals was another blonde angel glistening in the dim white glow coming in through a small window near the ceiling. It wasn’t moving. Neither were the three boys lying beside it, bloodied and torn up.
Jenny gripped her hatchet tight when she heard shuffling in the hall. She ground her heels against the floor, wondering how long she’d be able to hold them off if they pushed. She applied the 2 stat points she’d received for leveling up to Power hoping it would help keep the door shut.
One of the boys on the floor coughed, and Susan dropped down with an alarmed look on her face. She quickly pressed her hand over the boy’s mouth, trying to stifle his coughing.
Jenny could almost feel one of the angels outside the door, breathing down her back. She bit her lip to stop it from trembling. She didn’t want to die in a boy’s bathroom. It seemed like they hadn’t heard the coughing.
Susan struggled with the boy on the floor. Blood gushed from his neck. His arms moved feebly, trying to resist Susan’s hand clamped over his mouth. His eyes were wide, and Jenny recognized him as Mark. The boy in her gym class last year who’d been nice to her when she had nothing to do during free-play time. He’d shown her how to shoot a basketball.
He was a junior now, and they didn’t have any classes together this year, but they’d still say hi when they passed each other in the hall.
“Please,” whispered Susan, bringing her face close to his. “They’re right outside.” She looked up at Jenny with a desperate expression on her face. Mark either couldn’t hear her or he was beyond understanding. He kept trying to pull her hand off his face.
We have to kill him. The thought made Jenny’s stomach lurch. He was clearly suffering, and if he exposed them, they’d all die.
She remembered what the guidance system had said. Equipment tools, and weapons. Could she summon something to heal Mark?
She looked at the angel lying dead on the floor with its head in a urinal. She didn’t recognize the two other boys beside it. They must have fought the angel together with their bare hands. But since they killed it, did that mean Mark had his First Blood bonus? Which meant he had points he could use, if only they could get him to calm down so they could explain.
She had to use her imagination, right? She had to imagine what she wanted and the system would apply a cost. Alright. She shut her eyes, tried not to think about the angels scurrying up and down the hall outside, and pictured a potion. Something like the ones she’d pick up in games to restore her health. She pictured a glass vial of red liquid. Red signified health, that much she was certain of.
A Minor Potion of Recovery will cost 100 Energy. Insufficient Energy.
Fuck, she thought. She was 25 short. She knew Susan wouldn’t have any to spare after making her cattle prod. But Mark might. Now how was she supposed to explain that to him while still holding the door?
She thought about the other angel she’d fought, the one in the French classroom. Angels didn’t seem to understand how doors worked. It couldn't turn the handle and it attacked the door mindlessly. So maybe if she tiptoed, she could get to Susan and Mark and explain how he could craft a potion to save his life.
If they’re quiet enough, the angels won’t hear them and try to get in. It was risky, but they could manage it. And if it worked, they’d have three people instead of two to fight them.
Just as Jenny worked up the courage to step away from the door, a loud crash made her freeze. A deafening hissing filled her ears, and Jenny realized there were way more creatures than she’d initially thought. But there was another crash, followed by a shrill scream that made her blood run cold.
She glanced at Susan who looked just as terrified as Jenny felt. The walls shook. Violent sounds and hissing and screeching came from outside. Dust drifted down like snow on Susan's blue hair. Something slammed against the wall just beside the door. Jenny shut her eyes and braced herself for the worst if whatever commotion was happening outside forced its way into the bathroom.
It sounded like a fight. Something else was fighting these angels. Throwing them around. Cutting them down. Was it another student? Maybe one of the teachers?
Hope made her heart pound hard against her chest. Maybe someone else had figured out how to make use of this system thing and leveled up enough to fight these creatures head-on. She felt dizzy with relief. Were they saved? Praying, she listened as best she could, trying to figure out what was going on.
She heard a pitiful mewling followed by a thick snap. Then there was silence. No hissing or footsteps or anything, and Jenny couldn’t take it anymore.
“I’m going to check what that was,” she mouthed slowly to Susan who shook her head no, looking frightened. Jenny bit her lip, but turned anyway to pull on the door slightly, just a sliver.
Cool air from the hall tickled her nose. In the pasty white gloom, she saw what had caused the commotion. Her heart sank.
Several angels lay strewn about on the floor. None of them were moving. On all fours was something bigger than the angels she’d seen before. Its back was broad and more defined and wasn’t just exposed skin. Instead, it was green and glossy, like an insect’s exoskeleton. And it held one of the angels like a rag doll while it chewed on its face.
Imperfect Angel (Level 12)
It turned its head as it snapped off the thinner angel’s skull. The Imperfect Angel’s face was covered in that same green scale-like thing. It had long dark hair that bounced while it chewed, and, while it was still slim, it wasn’t as ragged and bony as the other angels.
It dropped the now headless angel corpse and moved to another. Its movements were strange, even though it was on all fours like the other angels had been. It favored one arm over the other, and as it moved, Jenny saw a nasty gash across one of its green shoulders. It was hurt from the fight.
The Imperfect Angel… was that some sort of evolution then? Did it level up as well then? From killing people? Killing other angels?
Jenny realized with a chill that the angels were in the system too. They were partaking in the Survival Challenge. She nearly dropped the hatchet. Her palms were sweating. The angels were also getting stronger. She realized it was only a matter of time before it noticed her or ventured into the bathroom. And if they wanted to get to the stairwell, to get to Oliver, they’d have to fight it or something like it at some point.
And she didn’t want to fight it in the bathroom where there’d be no space to swing her hatchet. She took a deep, shaking breath as she listened to it eating the other angels. Sweat ran down her back. She bit her lip. There was one thing that was for certain: if she wanted to live, she’d have to get much, much stronger.
This was so unfair. All she’d wanted was to get on with her life. Graduate. Get away from her family. Get away from her mom.
Her mom’s voice filled her head, screaming at her to find Oliver.
She wondered what her mom would do in this situation. How would she handle all this carnage and death? Jenny just wanted to sob and scream and pull out her hair. She wanted to break all the mirrors in the bathroom and smash everything she possibly could. But what good would that do now?
It was oddly familiar to how she felt at home. Fighting with her mom, slamming the door, sobbing into her pillow, wishing she wasn’t here.
But she was here. Stuck in this nightmare. And she was at least getting stronger. She’d killed a bunch of them already. This wasn’t like home. She wasn’t powerless. She wasn’t just going to hide in her room and cry and play video games until she passed out. She shut her eyes and sucked in a breath and made her decision.
She clutched her hatchet, feeling the tiniest bit comforted by having it in her hands. She looked back at Susan who had Mark’s head on her lap, trying to console him, still pressing her palm down on his lips as he struggled.
Without a word, Jenny stepped out into the hall. She didn’t want to see Susan’s reaction. She didn’t want to second guess her decision to fight this thing. At the very least, she resolved to lead it away from the bathroom so Susan and Mark could figure out a way to get out.

2023.06.01 01:06 Significant_Bonus_52 Mindbloom - Guide recommendation?
Hello all, I’m starting my first ever KT therapy in about a week, and I’m looking to see if anyone here has a Guide on Mindbloom that they would suggest? I’m looking for someone who understands what a “bad trip” feels like, and can coach me/understand if I potentially fall victim to psychosis again. (For context, about 10 years ago, I tried acid for the first time and experienced a state of mind where I heard demonic growling and thought at any moment a demon would possess me if I didn’t stay vigilant and mentally fight it.) This has scared me from every trying any psychedelics again, up until a few months ago, when I microdosed mushrooms out in nature and had a pleasant experience. I’m 100% in a better headspace now, my life is 100x better in every aspect, and I have a better understanding of myself now. But that fear still lingers that I may fall into that awful experience again. I’m seeking KT for my severe depression, anxiety, social phobia, body dysmorphia, and maybe even my ADD. Thank you in advance!

2023.06.01 01:05 Sigmarius Savage Philosophy?
Hello,
I'm very slowly mashing together some ideas for a world I'm working on.
In this world, I want to use orcs as my Mongol horde stand in. I'm also planning on using the Age of Sigmar Orruk line as the minis during fights and what not.
Now, I want these dudes to be conquerors, warriors, and be "savage", at least to the "civilized" world, but I'd like to develop an actual cultural philosophy for them. Like, the goal is for the outside world to assume they're "barbarians" and likely evil, but then when the PCs start encountering them and spending time with them, they learn that this species isn't evil, this culture isn't evil, it's just different enough that it APPEARS evil.
Any thoughts? Or am I just off in la la land and this isn't really feasible?
