[the first thing everyone gets on the network feed is a set of two pictures, several minutes apart from one another: one and two are somewhat blurry. there doesn't seem to be any context, other than it's been posted by @prom.argentum. soon enough, text appears, however.]

alright sup hi hello everyone, i’m not expecting anyone to be able to do anything cuz let's be real: i am doomed to be stuck in here forever but i just wanna be able to record the last few minutes of life that i have in this world

these vents are so spooky and also i am highly claustrophobic and i don't think this shaking is an indication of anything good

ugh

hey @deimos.fighter
it was your turn to go into the vents

wh y

[no one can see this, but he sure turned left and fell... further down the vent. his screams can probably be heard if you're aboard one of the underground trains...]

[two minutes later, this picture gets introduced.]

NOW i'm recording this so that the public can know that dennis told me to go left and that led me straight dOWN AN OPEN SHAFT, THANKS A LOT, DENNIS

[silence]

It's a title, not just my name. [ Though he doesn't like being called Gen, that wasn't actually what he was getting at. ] It's the name given to the court thief. My grandfather was Eugenides, and his father before him, and so on and so forth back to the days before the gods gave us vents to crawl in.

Do you think he trips over it?

[mercurio]

so have i been disrespecting you all this time?

also: nah, ramuh's cool and he floats

[kleptocratic]

You've been doubting me. It isn't the same thing.

[mercurio]

you gave me a depressing rhyme, dude

[kleptocratic]

Ancient wisdom.

[mercurio]

isn't ancient wisdom depressing?

[kleptocratic]

Most of the time. Sometimes it's just boring.

In this case it's a distraction.

[mercurio]
