Lincoln (~mid-twenties) I don't entirely understand the purpose of this.

yeah, it can be a bit weird for a lot of people here.

i'm jem, btw. :) nice to meet you.

[transformative]

do you meet a lot of people who've never found this technology before?

and what does ":)" mean?

[medals]

a few, yeah. some people are from ages back and others are from the end of the world.

it's a smiley face !

[transformative]

i would be one of the latter. some of the people i know have been here for a while. it's possible that you've met them, though we come from vastly different situations.

[Only Anya is anything like him, and he doubts she's making a great deal of friends.]

so, you use the text to convey emotions. that's ... new.

[medals]

maybe, where are you from?

yeah. emotions, everything really.

[transformative]

a world that suffered an apocalypse. it burned, and few groups of people remain. the people you'll likely find here might have mentioned "grounders." or their names: clarke, bellamy, raven. octavia, too, though she's come and gone.

and i suppose it's not surprising that people would find a means to do that. it's simply new.

[medals]

i know bellamy and raven :)
murphys with you too right ?? he mentioned being a space loser

the internets a big place, tread carefully

1/2

[transformative]

i wouldn't be quick to count murphy as among us.

[transformative]

but he is one of the people who came down, yes. i'm not certain he knows that i'm here.

[And he has very little doubt that they would both like to keep it that way.]

i'll keep treading carefully in mind. though i've faced greater dangers than faces made by text.

[That is like ... half a joke. Really.]

[medals]

poor murphy

oh mate you have not seen the really grim depths of the internet
be careful what you google etc etc

[transformative]

that's a thought i'm certain he utters to himself.

what could i find that would be worse than a post-apocalyptic wasteland? though it may not be what you picture. it's very green and full of life, so that might offer it more balance.

[medals]

i like murphy, he's a baby in a big person body :)

well i did think 'there can't be much worse out there than the undead' but the internet proved me wrong within hours.

[transformative]

the undead?

[Definitely more interesting than Murphy.]

[medals]

yeah, the undead.
the uh. brain eating ones.

1/2

[transformative]

you'll have to forgive me in that i've never heard of those before.

[transformative]

what i know that sounds similar did not involve the word "dead." not at all.

[medals]

so just regular cannibals?

[transformative]

no.

we call them reapers because of how quickly they bring death. but they are not dead. they're simply changed by a drug. they eat flesh because they've lost a part of themselves in the process, and they're too caught up in that to stop themselves from doing a thing they would not normally do.

you could say that they're the result of experimentation. that wouldn't be wrong.

[medals]

what the actual fuck

[transformative]

i must admit, i don't know if the thought of the dead returning and eating brain is more or less unsettling, considering the purpose of the reapers.

[medals]

they sound similar, honestly.

[transformative]

the difference (and i am only guessing here) is that there is a cure for ours. you can remove the dependency on the drug in time.

[But it's not easy. He's living proof of it.]

[medals]

we have a drug that restores partial brain function. it rebuilds cells and gets people back to themselves as much as possible?
well i mean.
i thought that was it? but my big brother - he was. he was partially deceased and now he's alive again. so i don't know?

[transformative]

partially deceased.

was it perhaps more temporary than you believed?
