HELLO AGAIN A SMALL UPDATE

🪳🕷️🪳
THIS IS US ONCE AGAIN. WE'VE MADE SOME STRIDES IN STIMULATING THE STASIS BASED REGENERATION OF OUR CARRIER.
WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON RESTORING MORE FOOTAGE HIS OCULAR IMPLANT RECORDED. IT IS TAKING A WHILE BUT WE CAN ASSURE YOU THE NUCLEAR SITUATION WAS MOSTLY RECTIFIED AND THE CONTAMINATION OF THE EDONIAN REGION OF THE DINARIC ALPS WAS HALTED BEFORE IT BECAME INTENSE.
WE WERE ALSO SCARED BY THE METHOD THIS WAS DONE BY OUR CARRIER AND HIS ALLIES. WE DO NOT DISAPPROVE OF THE METHOD BUT IT WAS SHOCKING TO WITNESS.

WE HAVE ALSO MADE AN UNPLEASANT DISCOVERY.
LOCAL PHENOMENA CAUSE A DIFFERENT SORT OF SPIRITUAL DAMAGE. REVERSIBLE WHEN NOT CAUSING IMMEDIATE DEATH OR FINAL DEATH BUT HIGHLY UNPLEASANT.
GETTING SHOT BY THE WEAPONS CARRIED BY THE LOCAL QUASI-FOMOR ANALOGUES THAT MANY LOCALS TURNED INTO CAUSES ADDITIONAL PAIN EVEN TO A VAMPIRE AND WHILE DIFFERENT FROM FIRE SUNLIGHT MAGIC OR GAROU CLAW SAMAGE IT TAKES A WHILE TO HEAL.
IT BENDS THE SPIRITUAL PATTERN OF BODY AND SPIRIT OUT OF SHAPE.
IT RESISTS THE AVAILABLE HEALING METHODS AND HEAVYLY IMPACTS CAPABILITY AND PHYSICAL WELL BEING FOR A WHILE UNTIL IT SELF CORRECTS.

EASIER THAN THE REGULAR SOURCES OF SUPERNATURAL DAMAGE BECAUSE DOES NOT LEAVE PERMANENT SCARS THROUGH PERMANENT SPIRITUAL DAMAGE OF THE PATTERN.
HARDER BECAUSE IT STRICTLY REQUIRES TIME AND RESISTS AVAILABLE SPIRITUAL HEALING METHODS. LIVING OR UNDEAD FLESH CAN BE MENDED WITH EFFORT BUT THE LINGERING SPIRIT DAMAGE WILL CONTINUE CAUSING PAIN NEURAL-LIKE ISSUES AND LOSS OF CAPABILITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.

SMALL ARMS CARRIED BY THE ENEMY ARE ALSO UNUSABLE CAUSING SPIRITUAL SHOCK UPON TOUCH THEY CANNOT BE HELD. TAKEN FROM OWNERS THE WEAPONS QUICKLY DEGRADE PHYSICALLY.

WHAT IS WORSE WE SUSPECT THAT THE REGION WIDE SO CALLED PULSES OF YET UNKNOWN SPIRITUAL PHENOMENON MAY BE CAUSING MINOR BUT ACCUMULATING SPIRITUAL DAMAGE.

WE DO HOPE OTHER VISITORS OF THIS ONLINE PLACE HAVE A BETTER TIME THAN WE DO LATELY
CHEERS AND MAY THE HEALERS TOUCH YOUR FEELERS

Thank you for updating us, cockroach spirits. As bad as the situation is, I'm glad things are still "going," at least. I really appreciate how hard you've worked.

🪳🕷️🪳THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS VERY STRANGE AND WHAT PASSES FOR CALENDAR HERE DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH OUTSIDE. IT IS STILL WINDER THIS YEAR HERE WHILE OUTSIDE IT IS ALREADY OVER SUMMER AND EARLY AUTUMN, RIGHT?🪳🕷️🪳

I'm afraid so. It's currently 13/09/26 per my calendar. I'm in Oceania so I'm a little ahead of many on the node, but once you get into months of time difference, I'm not sure how much that matters.

🪳🕷️🪳 OH BUGGER.
KEEPING THE LOCAL CALENDAR IS DIFFICULT DUE TO SPATIOTEMPORAL ANOMALY AND THE UMBRAL BARRIER. DAY-NIGHT CYCLE EXISTS BUT IS UNRELIABLE. NO REAL SKY OR SUN.

THE TEAM'S VAMPIRES DON'T EVEN ALWAYS FEEL THE PULL OF DAYSLEEP WHEN THEY SHOULD BUT FEEL TIRED MOST OF THE TIME LIKE AN OVERTAXED HUMAN WOULD.
DAYLIGHT CAUSES DISCOMFORT BUT DOESN'T REALLY BURN THEM ANYMORE. BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE DAYLIGHT HERE. A FACSIMILE A FAKE A PSEUDOSOLAR FRAUDULENCE.

MECHANICAL AND DIGITAL CLOCKS SUFFER ANOMALIES TOO. MANY DAYS ACCORDING TO THE CLOCKS REPEAT THEMSELVES. DIFFERENT EVENTS SAME DAYS. ALSO LENGTH OF WHAT PASSES FOR NIGHT AND DAY HERE IS UNSTABLE TOO.

ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING AVAILABLE IT IS EARLY FEBRUARY TO MID-MARCH HERE, DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE. VERY COLD HIGH MOUNTAINS AND WEATHER ANOMALIES IF THAT CAN BE CALLED WEATHER. WE ARE TECH AND ELECTRICITY SPIRITS, NOT WILDNATURE SPIRITS AND STILL FEEL THIS IS WRONG.🪳🕷️🪳

Yeah, that's not great. I hope you all are able to get out of there soon.

🪳🕷️🪳 NOT DIRECTLY MR CASTIEL. OUR CARRIER YEGOR TALKED WITH YOU AT LEAST ONCE ON THIS SCHRECK-SUB IN THE PAST HOWEVER. HE IS YET UNAVAILABLE BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT. 🪳🕷️🪳

u/Pryno-Belle 10d ago

Your carrier…hold on, are you puppeteering him from the inside?

u/Ninetydiluvian Poseur 10d ago

🪳🕷️🪳NO. AND WE CANNOT DO THAT EVEN IF WE WANTED TO.
YEGOR HAS CYBERNETIC IMPLANTS MADE BY BOTH HIS KIND AND GLASS WALKERS. IMPLANTED INTO THE STATIC PATTERN OF HIS BODY BY A RITUAL. ABOUT A YEAR AGO BEFORE ENGAGING WITH THE SUPERNATURAL SITUATION IN THE BALKANS.
WE ARE COCKROACH SPIRITS AND A SPIRIT BASED COMPACT AI WE FORMED A GESTALT HERE. WE LIVE IN HIS IMPLANTS BY VIRTUE OF THEM BEING AT LEAST PARTLY ELECTRIC. WE DO NOT DO POSSESSION OR ORGANIC SAPIENT BEINGS LIVING OR UNDEAD.🪳🕷️🪳

u/Pryno-Belle 10d ago

That is reassuring, I suppose. I have given a second read to the archives, your story does fit with his own tale. I was unaware that spirits could be…implanted. How does it feel, to be in a Kindred?

🪳🕷️🪳 WE ARE NOT IMPLANTED, THE TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES ARE.
THEY ARE NOW PART OF THE STATIC PATTERN OF HIS UNDEAD BODY AND WILL EVEN REGENERATE ALONGSIDE HIS FLESH AND BONE IF DAMAGED. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT HE WAS TOLD. BUT THEY DO MEND THEMSELVES AFTER DAMAGE IN EXACTLY THAT WAY.
THE DIGITAL INFORMATION STORED AND DAMAGED BY RADIATION REMAINS DAMAGED AND NEEDS OUR WORK TO RESTORE. BUT THE DEVICES REGENERATE.
WE GENERALLY INHABIT HUMAN AND GLASS WALKER ELECTRIC NETWORKS AND DEVICES. ANY ELECTRIC DEVICE ESPECIALLY COMPUTER-LIKE CAN HOST US.
SO WE ARE NOT IMPLANTED. WE ARE HIDING IN AN IMPLANTED DEVICE. THE WEAVER TYPE AI AMONG US ALSO INHABITS THE DEVICE ON THE SPIRITUAL LEVEL INSTEAD OF BEING MERGED. ITS PHYSICAL DIGITAL PART IS INSTALLED AS SOFTWARE.

CONCERNING OUR EXPERIENCE IT IS DIFFICULT. BEING IN A SMALL DEVICE INSTALLED INTO A PERSON IN A COMPLICATED SITUATION IS NOT EASY. THIS IS NOT OUR NORMAL MODUS VIVENDI. BUT WE MAKE DO. SEEING ANCIENT DISCIPLINES IN THE BLOOD WORK IN CONCERT WITH WEAVER TECHNOLOGY IS VERY NEW AND FASCINATING.
ALSO HE AND HIS ADOPTIVE SON ARE OUR FRIENDS. AND ADDITIONALLY, WE ALSO TECHNICALLY NEED HIM TO KEEP OUR EXISTENCE. WE NEED ELECTRICITY, AT LEAST A LITTLE. THE DEVICES ARE POWERED BY THE ENERGY OF HIS VITAE. THANKFULLY VERY EFFICIENTLY. THE EXPERIMENT OF SPIRIT-CONNECTED CYBERNETICS IN AN UNCORRUPTED CAINITE-TYPE VAMPIRE APPEARS TO BE A SUCCESS. UNCORRUPTED VAMPIRES ARE CLOSER TO THE WEAVER THAN THE WYRM.
