I was going to make the extra effort to warn those in my universe about the frankly suspicious cupcake, which I could only assume had been delivered to my friends as part of the same ploy, when I discovered this website. As others seem to be having the same issue, it's clearly a generation of this website, as opposed to other sources.

It doesn't mean I'm going to eat it all the same. Mysterious confectionery is never a good sign, whether originating from the expected individual, or from any unannounced others.

As I've only recently discovered this community, I haven't had the opportunity to introduce myself yet. The name's Dirk Strider and I still had nothing to do with this, Jake. That was considering the chance that you're not feeling entirely convinced yet, though I'm sure you've stumbled ass-backwards into unthinking credulity by now. That's ok: it works in my favour in this case.

Incidentally, if any of you work out what the purpose of these cupcakes are, I wouldn't mind finding out myself.

[ooc: Aaaand I'll be keeping the magic RNG number to myself. BUT THERE IS ONE.]

In which way? I'm sure at this point, Jake and Roxy will refrain from eating the cupcakes. Are you insinuating there's an alternate purpose to them?

[docfoul]

When the community wants a certain effect, it will get it.

[artfulironicist]

The cupcake is just an implicated choice, then?

[docfoul]

Essentially.

[artfulironicist]

All the same, I would like to know what both options result in, or if they end up the same.
Now. Do we know each other?
Are you another voyeur of my life?

[cocksprite]

ok not to go pulling the overbearing shithead brother card on the first date but dont talk to this guy hes bad news
also breaches pennywise levels of creep which in itself is a red flag

[artfulironicist]

Don't talk to him?
I'm fairly certain I'll be alright talking to him.
Thanks for the warning, though.
I promise, I'll stay away from drains and I'll come home before midnight, bro.
My virtue is very important to me.

[cocksprite]

ha ha ha
fuck you

[artfulironicist]

Well, bad news how?
All I know right now is that he's a big enough douche to use white text on a white page and that he's probably Cal's ectobiological descendant.
Other than that, I only have vague accusations to go on, albeit, vague accusations from a guy I have more reason to trust than anyone else.
Pester me if you need to.
I'm not sure if it's the same for you, but I'm timaeusTestified.

turntechgodhead
im pretty busy though ill see if ive got time

[docfoul]

Shoosh, now.
Why interrupt what could very well be the beginning of a loving family reunion?

[cocksprite]

were not related fuck off

[docfoul]

I know you aren't, dunkass.

[cocksprite]

oh i get it
my fuck off stance still stays strong
dont talk to him

[docfoul]

Not so much a voyeur, as a bypasser.
We are connected, though, through my ectobiological father.

[artfulironicist]

Are we? Who would that be?

[docfoul]

Cal.

[artfulironicist]

Cal's your dad.
So you're a puppet? Or presumably at least part puppet?

[docfoul]

Literal fluff runs through my figurative veins, Mr. Strider.

[artfulironicist]

You can drop the formalities, if you're a kid of Cal's. Dirk is just fine.

... oh my god can we pretend I didn't fuck that up

[docfoul]

Send him my regards, will you?
I'm Doc Scratch.

What, you mean Scratch ISN'T going for a new font colour? :P

[artfulironicist]

I will, it's the least I can do.
I'm sure, considering this place, you'll even have the opportunity to meet at some point, if you're interested.

sob ;;

[docfoul]

Perhaps, if there is time for that.

Changing his outfit and everything

[artfulironicist]

You did just say that the community leaves little to the choice of the individual.
I assume that if it intends to have us meet, we will, whether or not either of us has the time.

[docfoul]

That is true.
And yet, the end looms nearer and nearer.
