[netbook 01] before roseroot

[astralprojection]

[in the middle of the night, hastily scribbled words come across the netbook with the urgency of someone who really doesn't want to forget something.]

blizzard — cave in the mountains — nearing the peak? campfire dying, supply wagon visible but no one here

important:

sword, snapped, broken glaive stuck in ground

flowers blooming in the snow

glass ball, broken — crystal ball??

tree with unshed leaves

scarf, shimmering thread — looking at this prompted inhuman shrieks in the distance

skull, bestial, tentacles stuck into the eye sockets

orb of light — one of the few sources of warmth in the cold

golden scale, shielding the area from the storm

objects depicting a sun, moon, and half black sun — floating in the blue glow of a staff ending in a dreamcatcher — growing dim — trying to stay lit

[there's a period of time before an addition is added]

Hello— for those who have met me, this is Astrid. I have been known to have prophetic dreams; some straight forward, some less so. This was one of the latter, and I didn't want to forget the details upon waking up.

Unfortunately, I haven't been here long enough to accurately interpret what I've seen. Maybe we can all come together and figure this out? I'm worried it could spell ill fortune.


((ooc: absolutely feel free to threadjack around and discuss among yourselves as necessary!))

...Which part?

[mooninthewater]

All of it! Sans the orb of light, I suppose. I can't imagine that tastes much like anything at all??

[astralprojection]

This isn't the talking cat, is it? Can you write, too?

[mooninthewater]

Um, no!

I mean, about that first part. I haven't asked if it can write.

I'm a sea jelly!

[astralprojection]

I see.

[do they???]

Maybe this will ring some sort of bell, then?

[astrid draws an arrow to where he's talking to dipper]

[mooninthewater]

I'm not really good at interpreting stuff, unfortunately.

It's something I'm working on, of course! I have to! But... um... for now, I think I take things too seriously, haha.

That said, sea jellies =/= octopi, and I don't know any of those here. My tentacles are black, anyway. I guess I'm blue, though? Coming out of a beast skull, too... um...

Maybe it's got something to do with that time I ate Moder????

[astralprojection]

Could you tell me more about that? Any lead is better than no lead.

[mooninthewater]

Um, well!

I'm blue! (Da ba dee da ba die)

And um... Moder is a beasty! Kind of. She tasted like rot when I ate her but that's only 'cause she was corrupted.

I'm not sure that's helpful, though, haha!

[astralprojection]

Admittedly, not entirely. Why exactly did you eat her...?

[mooninthewater]

At the time, she was corrupted by Mister the Forest. I did try to talk to her, but... she wouldn't listen to me.

She's better now, though.

[astralprojection]

Do you have some sort of ability to help people by eating them, or...?
