Connection with Orpheus & 'Zero'

CONNECTING... 
> We've got company.

Ouuuggghhh...... This fucking sucks.
Dogshit fucking dream..! Flowing into THIS-!

> You sit up and take a look around.
 
...? Oh. Oh, that fucking bastard??? Grr..!!! Whatever. I'll play your stupid fucking game.
Seems like a dead chat anyway. I'll wait.

> You raise your eyebrow.

> You stand up and crack your knuckles with a sigh.

Convalescent? Sounds... Familar enough.
Not surprised you know my name. Well, I am? But 000 is a blight on my life, giving me away like a goddamn brand, so.

> Wow. Wooooow.

But sure. Questions! God, it's fucking WEIRD to be in this position. Gotta put my exposition pants on...
First, though. Question for YOU.
Raine's... "patients." Like? What? I'm assuming you mean you're trying to understand what's going on and shit. And the "Convalescent" is just your collective group name for the OUTSIDE players in his game? Investigators? I'm assuming you're against him. Or at least somewhat ambivalent?

Raine Evans legitimately cannot do shit to me and I delightfully invite him to try because he will get his ass torn off, cooked, and served to him on a lead platter. But I appreciate the thought!

Ok that is a lot. Some of these are... Y'know what. Sure.

Question Batch 1

I honestly still, to this day, don't know who or what 222 really is? He's kind of just a soul abomination. The original soul is so buried under the hundreds of others he consumed that I don't even know if it really exists distinctly anymore. Related, though, is that Attacus and Thrall are both kind of.... Ehh. Domesticating?? Rehabilitating, i guess??? 222. To like, live in the new society of Gluttony. They're all doing fine. Big happy family.

Roxy is a fucking enigma. I could tell you a lot about her. She's been around since the start of this all. Started Deity in Death with Raine and Jessica, took R053 and became a vessel for 2 different other spirits as well as her own, then she DIED and became this... Living memory. Corruptelam, I think, if you recognize the species. But then, AFTER that, is just... I don't know. Too much. I'm probably going to have to say that a LOT. But there's just too much. I will say though, during the apocalypse? Roxy faked her death once, then ACTUALLY died. Raine tried to pin it on me, get in MY head for killing her, but I KNOW IT WAS HIM! She came back again, though. Not sure how... And I also don't know if it's HER, or all 3 of the individual spirits in that body just decided on an identity. Also, she's        .

When They Cry Positivity doesn't ring a bell.

Sisyphean Hell is the hell where Sorath, Dromen, Impurity, and... Just. EVERYTHING comes from. Metamorphosis and Sisyphean are like the two BIG "Afterlives." There are some others but... So minor, they don't matter when it comes to Raine and all of us. 
I can't explain the whole structure of it, but like. We called it Sisyphean Hell because it's an endless loop that always brings you back to this like.. Lake. I don't know. I never went there aside from Violence. Catherine, Asphodel, Abaddon... 
They did the           , and... Unfortunately, will probably do it AGAIN. Because their end goal is merging with       ... It's a lot. I'm trying to be general here.

Metamorphosis Satan is a hot dilf who's big as fuck and chill as hell. Metamorphosis Lucifer is a non-binary baphomet who was stuck in Heaven for a while but I think they're adapting fine..?
I have never met Sisyphean Satan and I think Sisyphean Lucifer was                  a baby and went missing last time I saw it? I don't know. That infant is Kill On Site though because it's objectively more the Big Bad than Abaddon was.

Most important...??? Man, I don't know. Heavenfire neutralizes Impurity. 000 watches me all the time. Raine is a pathetic, overgrown brat who isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is. Sorath is Claire is Lucille is Roxy. Everyone is an unreliable narrator.

Kendrick Lamar? I don't know. I've heard his music sometimes during parties but like... I haven't ever gone out of my way to listen to him...??? Is this really relevant.

Raine downed 3 R053 pills and Claire is one of the souls created. She's important. Remember her.

...SEX???? Raine was a human fucking kid???? Raine was born like all the rest of us, he wasn't CREATED! He made R053, took it, then his body died when Roxy did too. I don't know if he became a corruptelam and evolved from there, but he definitely isn't one anymore. He's more of like... A ghost. I don't know. His body is kept stabilized by the mutual neutralization of Impurity and Heavenfire, though.

Sorath is a fucking mess. She's her own person yet also everybody at once and she also has like 3 vessels that all independently are sorath and aren't and it's confusing and I don't think about it so that way I understand it. She has both existed forever but was created by Claire twice and it's... Don't overthink it. Trust me.

And, uh... ... Skip.

> Breathe.

I remember, vividly, when I was alive. I was born in 2000. I'm an orphan. I was put in a heavily catholic foster home. I went to catholic school. I realized I was trans. A lot of trauma happened. Then, I went on a hike and died. That was 2019. I was stuck in hell for 3 years, crawled out in the middle of the apocalypse. Everything went to shit from then on.

The apocalypse was an attempt to merge Veil 1 with Sisyphean Hell and bring about Sorath to merge everything into a singular consiousness for no reason other than, well... I guess that's their culture. I don't get it. But it wasn't RESET, just STOPPED. All of the consequences, destruction and irrepairable damage is still there, but they're all healing. Just... It's a big mess now. New environments, creatures, demons and monsters in broad daylight... Post Apocalypse stuff. But Co-existence is achieveable, so.

Sorath didn't. Abaddon was trying to summon Sorath. We summoned her first. Harmonia and Claire fell in love, Claire is Sorath, through the R053 Project Sorath was summoned, Sorath is Claire, Sorath loves Harmonia, Sorath loves Humanity, Sorath thus is not on Abaddon's side. It's confusing. We're confusing.

Nothing.

I. Am not fucking answering that. Do not push your luck.

Beelzebub is either dead, Metamorphosis, or irrelevant, Sisyphean.

Flint is Apathy, L1MB0 and Enoch is Limbo, Lilith is Lust, Thrall is Gluttony, Legion is Greed, Mischief is Envy, Satan is Wrath, I have no fucking clue who is actually in power in Sloth anymore, and Carnelian took over for Lucifer in Pride but Lucifer is kind of like his Advisor so they aren't the prince anymore but they're still kind of guiding things along.

And, there are more than 2, buddy. They exist because they do. Do you really need to know more?

Yeah, yeah, I get it. Knowledge is power. Let's go.

Question Batch 2

I- What's the context? "Around the bend" can mean to be close to something, or to go crazy and do stupid things. So, Around The Bend and Back Again, theoretically, could mean to go somewhere and come back, or to go crazy and return to normalcy.

Well, I haven't... Really kept in contact with them..??? But, last I checked at least, Amdusias was working alongside Lilith and miight have been bartending for Raine as a side gig..? I think I heard about that. I don't know. 222 being rehabilitated and living with Thrall and Atticus in their castle. Belial might've opened up the remnants of the Casino in Greed? I know Leviathan has been having a good time living again in Envy, but he's been somewhat lonely and trying to find a way to bring back his species. None have spawned yet, though. Cerberus.... I don't know. I haven't spoken to him much if at all since we split it off. I already mentioned how Lucifer was doing.

Next, Catherine was working with Abaddon. She's a cunt and tried to manipulate my ex to her side with delusions of grandeur. She also, First Time We Met, psychically blasted me with visions of my FIRST Ex, who probably did more damage to my psyche than the apocalypse and all it's events combined, so. A lot of reasons! Her eyes made sickass jewelry though. And, no. I don't know who Cassidy Orchid is or if Catherine has anything to do with her. Last I saw her I sealed her in a radio, but I know for a fact she was freed during the eruption when I sealed Abaddon away.

Most important or famous people in Hell...? That's... A weird question, honestly. Just notice the names I mention over and over again. There's more, but I don't have the time or brainpower to explain the intricacies of Hell Politics right now.

There's a lot to talk about with Church of the Raindrops. Lucille ran it, it's an offshoot of the original cult Roxy, Raine and Jessica ran. Focused around R053. It's... A loaded subject? Lucille and Blossom are fucking lunatics, but R053s are good people. People took it for many reasons. I took it once, as a matter of fact. R053-B, I think? Or C? I don't know. The one that Roxy took. Lets you share a body with the new soul instead of overriding yours.
But, basically. Lucille's cult. Worshipped her. Co-Ran by her psycho bitch yandere girlfriend Blossom. She was actually kind of nice I'm being really hateful right now, but picture a stalker chihuahua in a poofy tutu. Get the picture?
Served as a safe place for an immeasurable amount of people in the apocalypse.
Not good. Not ENTIRELY evil. Definitely fucked up and twisted.

No, I don't know any Penelopes. Other than Penelope Scott, someone I know listens to her? Is this another musician question?

Metamorphosis Abaddon is a hairless sphinx cat twink. Served as the living vessel and conduit for the thin void aiding the structure of Metamorphosis and keeping it All from being burnt away by Heavenfire. I think he's alive. He went missing for years, though. Sisyphean Abaddon is a fucking rat bastard who is currently sealed away in a Radio. No fucking clue where the hell it is, last I checked Roxy had it. I never want to see it again. Me being near it is kind of reckless, anyway, considering I'm arguably the only person who could ever release the cunt again. He got off lucky. Very, very lucky. Red Dragon more like Red Dragging These Balls On Your Fucking Face.

Azriel and Ambriel, no clue. Never heard those names before. Well, I HAVE, but in terms of demons when I was human and things were normal. Well, I might've heard of Azriel? I don't know. I think they're both dead in Sisyphean and never existed in Metamorphosis.

Again, No Clue. I think Solisoma was a sleeping disorder, though? I don't remember.

> Hi, I'm the Narrator. Yes, I'm 000. That's my station.

No clue why he picked me though. I don't even remember when or where I first felt it.

> Your potential. And, who's to say you ever lived without me? Hahaha!

I. Do not like that? Don't do that again.

> Whatever you say, Orpheus.

Moving on.

Moths? I mean, not much. I know they eat clothes and make silk..? Also, the Metamorphosis Gluttony Royals have historically only ever been Moths. As in, Princes and Major Demons. As in, Thrall, Atticus, Beelzebub. I don't know anything about metatextual Moth symbolism, though.

Jessica...
She's kind of our story's Dead Girl. Shes like... Ok. I. I dont know. 
She haunts all of this though. She IS all of this. I know nothing about her past the basics. She founded Deity in Death. She was and might still be Lucilles vessel. I think Raine made R053 for HER. Raine started all of this for HER. Her and Raine were tight. They were mad geniuses with limitless, godlike potential whos meeting was probably some divine intervention to get all of this to happen.
And, if I was going to be completely, fully honest?
I would not be surprised if Every Single Thing drew back to her. Sorath, R053, the Apocalypse, everything. Some irrational feeling.
She scares me. I don't like thinking about her.

Oh, this one is simple! It's... kind of like being hotboxxed? Each layer has this latent aura and energy in it. It's in the air. Everything. The longer you exist in it, the more you are Molded by it. The energy that links with you the most is the one that acts the fastest and most effectively. Usually the first layer you end up in naturally. BUT, Very Rarely, you can switch species or end up as a chimera of all of them. Very Rarely as in... like. I can think of 3 examples ever and only 1 of them really happened naturally. Enoch.

Thrall, shortened version of Mothrall, is essentially like... A glob of Beelzebub's soul Lucifer lobbed off when trying and failing to kill him. He left Hell and wound up in Veil 1 around... I don't remember the story. Some time around the crusades. He got cursed as fuck with bindings that forced him into a more humanoid form and basically hopped around different "Masters" as essentially a demonic man-servant til he ended up with the Kiss. Then he kind of like... I don't remember, kinda went AWOL and started a revolution that failed and almost killed him and L1MB0? and then Beelzebub kidnapped Harmonia and we killed Beelzebub? Lot of plotlines going on here, keep up. Oh, how could I forget! His most important contribution is probably cracking his gooey soul in half like an egg and using one half to revive Harmonia as a demon when Abaddon killed her the first time really early in the apocalypse. That was... Before my time, actually. Huh.

I call myself Doc Orpheus because I was a fucking nerd in the late 2000s-early 2010s and my brain chemistry was horrifically altered by SCP-049 when I first saw it. Plague doctors? It was like- You know. I'm not getting into my shitty gamer branding from when I was a middleschooler.

I used to be a Deer because when I DIED the first time, FAKE LEVIATHAN stole me AWAY and used me as a VESSEL for his FRAGMENTED SPIRIT in his DERANGED PLOT TO TRY AND TAKE OVER HELL. I became a Wrath Demon after my soul was violently dismantled in order to remove the dormant fragment of Leviathan's embedded in it in order to serve as the Envy component in Repairing L1MB0 after the aforementioned Almost Dying Because Of Thrall. It's a long story. This part of my life doesn't even feel real.

> Because it's written like dogshit.

Hey! At least I'm happy now. Being a wrath demon rules. Like, completely unironically. The, again, aformentioned Metamorphosis Wrath Air knew. It Knew. Y'know?
Oh, I should finish that story actually. After the Envy Shit was removed from my soul, I got handed off to Satan to Get Fixed or whatever. So, pumped my soul full of Wrath and, well. The Rest was History.
The rest... Was Metamorphosis Raido...

> You snicker.
> You can't just make jokes like that!

Why not? Come on. It was funny.

> You're going Around The Bend, Orpheus Focus.
> You cackle...

THAT WAS A GOOD CALLBACK. THAT WAS GOOD. NICE ONE. GOOD JOB.

> ORPHEUS! FOCUS!

Ahh... Alright. Yeah. Focus Up. Lock In. Expositon.

> You slap your paws against your face, trying to psyche yourself up.

Alright. Alright. Let's go. 20 more.

Question Batch 3

It worked. That's the reason.

Angels sealed them away because they either actively or theoretically posed a legitimate threat to the balance and order of Metamorphosis.

I thiiink the first time I met him was when we both fought during one of the Wrath Tournaments? He's strong as fuck, don't let him tell you otherwise. A genuine threat if he doesn't hold back. I don't know what he's been doing since we fought in Layer 9, though... He's the last Metamorphosis Angel. Well, ok.. TECHNICALLY there's 1 other, but Gabriel doesn't count. He's a replacement for the original Gabriel who Died. I don't know what his deal is. I don't remember if I ever even met him, honestly.

I don't know what I did to be sent there originally, but I already explained the whole Wrath demon thing.

Bliblically? I'm assuming not biblically. I don't know any important Adams or Eves. Lilith is the current Prince of Lust, though. Big fan of her.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyesss...???????????? Veils are individual Alternative Universe in the bigger Omniverse we all exist in. Veils are like the planets. Hells, Domains and other stuff exist in between. 
It's... Weird.
It's endless. Veils are like... These weird glowing spheres...? I don't know.
I was trapped there for a while. It's a blur.
I only escaped because I got pulled back into Veil 1 when Wormwood entered as the herald for the Apocalypse's 3rd Trumpet. Same day Sorath was summoned. It was insane.

Rham is short for Rhamphosuchus. He's like. The last living Wrath Crocodile. He's kind of just this giant goofy crocodile who's obsessed with money. Like Mr. Crabs if he huffed cocaine and went bathing in a tarpit. And also was a Crocodile. He's unimportant.

I don't know. Metamorphosis Angels were focused on keeping order in Metamorphosis and fueling Layer 9's endless flames. Sisyphean Angels... I don't know.

You can die in Hell. Usually, if you're a major demon or a prince, you can just respawn or reform, if you do ever die. But, you CAN die. In Metamorphosis, your body and soul gets burnt away and recycled and... Well, it's more complex than that. But the answer Is yes.
Sisyphean... I don't know. I know even Less about the theoretical other hells, but yes, death IS possible.
Not for me, though. I'm immortal as hell. Trust me.

L1MB0 is the Prince of Limbo. They're this like... Basically, giant puppet robot thing. TV Head chimera used as a vessel to contain and restrict Enoch. They're also kind of like a secretary? They kept order for a while. Then they broke. Now, they're kind of a kooky madman who made the demons of their layer Evolving Worms On The String Filled With Various Lean-Esque Substances. And they're basically playing Spore x City Skylines x The Sims forever. 
Don't worry about them, basically. God-like power but entirely too lackadaisical and carefree to use it for any form of harm.

Legion was basically a conglomorate of thousand of souls fighting for dominance of a body. Fake Leviathan tried using him as a main vessel with me as his backup. One Legion, representing the Greed of Power, killed the former prince of Greed, took the throne, and was used as a Vessel all at the whim of Fake Leviathan. Eventually, Legion as we know him, representing the Greed of Knowledge, won and liberated himself from Fake Leviathan. He's pretty epic, just has a pretty fucked up past. Kind of has that tenured professor vibe. Smart guy. The way souls he touches manifests is fucking insane, though. Legitimately insane. Physically and literally reads you like a book.

You put demons in a radio by damaging them enough to reach their soul. Then, you essentially seal their soul inside of itself. It's... A confusing process, but it works. I don't know why radios were used, but it's pretty cool.

> I thought it would be fun. A good way to progress the story! Keep things interesting. A way to help Orpheus out.

You're such a freak.

Delta is... Kind of just a guy. He's a Major Demon of Wrath. One of the few living Greek Letter demons that ran and "uphold" the Fraternity community structure Cerberus made for his cult, even with Cerberus and his cult losing all power and it mostly becoming a way of life. He's kind. Honest. Wears himself on his sleeve. He's reliable. He has... Really helped me out more than I deserve. As far as I know, he doesn't have any connection to any of this. And Lambdatelta makes me think of the Umineko character. Neither of us play her in Golden Fantasia ever.

Mischief is the Prince of Envy. She was hand-crafted by L1MB0 as an emergency protocol when Fake Leviathan died. Fake!Levi had kind of destroyed Envy and all of it's demons by splitting his soul and fucking up his whole Take Over Hell plot at every level, so when he died there was nobody to take the throne. Mischief was the replacement.
She's cool. Carefree. I don't know much about her. She keeps to herself, mostly.

And Kade was kind of just a normal person? His dad killed his entire family with a shotgun. He was brought back to live when Cerberus latched onto him. I really don't know how either of them are doing right now.

Question Batch 4

Fort Wetherill is a historic fort in Rhode Island. It's where I died. I went out to explore there, slipped, fell, and died. Drowned in the water cause it's seaside. At least, REAL Fort Wetherill. I think a weird supernatural version of it was where Harmonia died early in the apocalypse too. It's weirdly relevant. I don't know.

A lot.

> We could pick that back up. I have it all "archived." If you want to see it, instead of just... Hear about it.
> The last detunes. The Siege on Abaddon. Also, communications with Acedia Lamb, 888, who was IN Deity In Death. You could learn a lot, you know.

Really? That's...
Scary.
That's...

> Maybe reliving it would be healthy for you.

...If they want.

The strongest thing in the universe is hard.

> Me!

No.

> Wow.

It's probably The Moon. Ascended Sorath, of course, ends the omniverse, but that doesn't exist anymore. I'll say The Moon and Sorath if she didn't hold back.
I'd like to think I'm a contender, though...!

> It's me.

Now, BECOME Sorath? You don't just. BECOME Sorath. There was no LAST Sorath. Sorath is Sorath. Sorath is Always Sorath. Sorath is Claire is Lucille is Roxy. They are All Sorath. They have never Not Been Sorath. They have always been vessels, they have always had the potential, they have always been Sorath. At least... I think? I don't know. That's the bullshit metaphysical spiritual answer. The practical answer is Claire is the most Sorath to ever Sorath. Sorath has always existed but Claire has also always been Sorath and Sorath was created because of Claire and Claire also exists because of Sorath, I think? I don't know. There was never another Sorath, because if Sorath ever existed before, we wouldn't BE here, remember?

Spiderlily probably can't be killed. Not saying I wouldn't try if I had to, but I doubt anything short of Sorath could ever do the job.

No, they're all dead. I'm an Orphan. My Mom's brother died cause he worked for Catacombis and my Dad was an only child. Then, the Apocalypse happened. So.

I already talked about Gabriel, and I know nothing about Michael except for the fact he's dead, killed Cerberus, and Uriel has been yearning for him for like 1,000 years.

I think I already told you enough about him. I don't know what else to say. He's a sick, deranged fuck. He's pathetic, but that makes him dangerous. Woobify him all you want, treat him like a joke, he is a SICK. TWISTED. DERANGED. PSYCHOPATH. THAT WILL DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO RUIN PEOPLE! He's a ticking timebomb. That being said, still treat him like a joke. You're immune to his bullshit. Worst he can do is, what? Ban you from this discord server? Not like he can kill you.

And, I am Very familiar with R053. Again, I TOOK it.
R053 is a pill. Imagine the squip from Be More Chill but instead of it being an AI that's supposed to guide you through life, it creates a new soul within yours that puts you into dormancy and replaces you with a brand new identity.
It is NOT an AI. R053 is NOT. AN. AI.
There is a CYBERNETIC ELEMENT, yes. It installs a computer in your brain. You can use it LIKE a computer. I used it to reply to discord and look things up all the time. 
But, R053. IS. NOT. AI.
It is SPIRITUAL. On the SPIRITUAL LEVEL, IT PUSHES YOUR SOUL INTO DORMANCY and MAKES ROOM FOR ANOTHER BEING.
The AI just serves as a conduit to create the soul and link it into the R053 database that Church Of The Raindrops used to implant Rules into their brain.
I took R053-B. R053-B is the normal pill most people take. It's SUPPOSED to completely override your soul and replace you with a new identity, but Metamorphosis Souls can actually use the R053 AI as a way to infiltrate a person's body. So... I got lucky. Really lucky. 
I'm not R053'd anymore. I tore that chunk of my soul out, and Heavenfire burnt the components out of my body.
I think... I'm one of, if not the only person to fully "escape" or, more like REMOVE, R053. I don't think it's possible at all otherwise, unless you like... Completely remake your soul and body like Lilith did with Arimidex. Not even Acedia, a Metamorphosis Demon who used R053 to temporarily take a vessel, who DIED in that vessel, was able to escape it respawning in Metamorphosis in a technically "new" body.
Apparently, when a R053 dies and goes to Sisyphean, they split into two separate demons instead of sharing a body like in Metamorphosis. At least, that's what Acedia told me happened to someone from Diety In Death. I think her name was Myla...? I don't remember her R053, though. Some other M name. I don't know, I never met them. Some of this is second hand information.
I feel like there's more I could say... R053 is just. Crazy. This isn't even all of it! This isn't even getting into the structure of Raindrops or the actual MECHANICS behind R053 or the fact the "AI" might be ALIVE and the OS of "Rosebud" might be legitimately a LIVING BREATHING THING but I don't remember if I made that up or it's real but I know Claire was feeding the computers her BLOOD when trying to create Sorath through R053 and R053 blood. My blood was in there. My blood was part of Sorath, I think. I didn't... That's part of the reason why I tried to remove the R053 from myself. I don't know. I was scared.
I don't know. R053 is a terrifying work of art. It is genius. It is a creation of passion, I think. It is... I don't know.
R053 is Raine's Magnum Opus.

I don't know anything about the game or Angels. I really don't.

I don't know anything about Raine's game or the winners.

Assuming, from this past conversation, the Game Masters are Sorath, Spiderlily and Raine, I could absolutely body Raine in a fight but no one else. I am being fully, legitimately serious. I could annihilate Raine. Raine should be fucking scared. Last time I fought Raine, we were pretty much toe to toe til he killed people and ran away like a fucking coward. And guess what? That was before I was as powerful as I am now. That was before I was legitimately, truly immortal. That was before I Ascended. Before I sealed Abaddon. A looong time before. Raine would be my bitch if we fought and I had nothing to lose. I am fully confident in my ability to obliterate Raine Evans. Sorath and Spiderlily, though? I think they'd win but I'd could escape. I could survive a fight with them.

Godballs are conglomerates of souls melted together physically by heavenfire in order to serve as a source of power to create, destroy, and modify anything and everything, including creating new souls and new demons from scratch.

And, Oleander. That poor, poor fucking boy. He was so fucking strong. He was so pure, honest, and admirable. He was more mature and respectable than me and he was almost 7 years younger than me! He didn't fucking deserve the way he went. He should've survived the apocalypse. Lucille killed him. Mercilessly. It was supposed to be a fun tournament. L1MB0 was keeping watch so nobody would die. Lucille broke every rule and ran. She killed Oleander in cold blood, in broad daylight, in front of thousands, and Ran. He didn't get to become a demon. His soul was scrapped. Probably destroyed when the Godball released all it's backed up energy to consume Veil 6. I hate thinking about him. If I was the way I am now back then? I could've saved him. Or, at least I could've Killed Her as revenge. That poor fucking boy... I wonder if Daniel ever... I hope he recovered. I don't know. I don't even know if he's alive.

So many names I have never heard in my life.... I feel like I'm pretty useless when it comes to Raine's whole angel game, huh?

Dromens? God. That's a lot. Weird things adjacent to Sisyphean angels, I think. Kinda like fallen angels? But not all of them... Like, I think Sisyphean Angels were the first Dromen? But then other dromens were created in a variety of ways. You become a dromen if a dromen touches your soul, I think. But you can also be inflicted with a physical kind of... ehh, Curse. I'll say. And become a Proxy. I think the formal term is Numeru? But we're all creepypasta kids here, right? They're fucking proxies.
They feed off of emotions, have little pocket realms that intersect with veils but technically exist outside of them called Domains. but I think some non-dromen have domains too.. Like, Raine. In the build up to the fight where Roxy died and I fought Raine, we were in this like.. Weird world. A mash of a bunch of locations, I think I ended up in Raine's bedroom too? He had so much weeb shit. I think someone tried stealing his giant Madoka figures but I don't remember, it was so long ago.
I don't know what it was, I'm just putting it out there.
But like... Dromen are so weird, wide and variable, I couldn't explain as much as I probably need to right now. Didn't Catacombis have a good resource on that? I don't know. There's a lot, they're so wild and variable, they're just... Weird.
But VERY important. Keep them in mind.

Mary Asphodel is weird and I don't understand her but I think she's a Sorath Proxy? I don't know. I barely spoke to her. She told me I was important once.

Wormwood is a fallen angel. I don't know much about it otherwise. I don't know what happened to it.

An Interesting Rant..

And, what do you mean? What do you want me to say? 
Do you want me to explain what you are? Or what you ARE.
Because, to me, right now, in this moment, in this STORY, you are people infiltrating my dream. You are invasive investigators violating my mind at the command of Raine Evans, trying to figure out his game. 
But I know what you ARE. You are a group of people, REAL people, in a veil Far, Far, Away. This is your game. I am your plaything. "The Convalescent" is your cover to operate on my level, the NARRATIVE level. It is your collective name. Your front. Your role.
But I see through it. I know your name. I know who you Are. I know this is a discord server. I know Raine is a sick, twisted fuck broadcasting this as far and wide as he can, and you're just playing along for your entertainment. Your mystery. Your satisfaction when it all clicks.
I don't care that I'm not real to you.
I help you, Nerdyganii, discord member since January 15th, 2020, server member since February 7th, 2024, with your stupid fucking Jack-In-The-Box profile picture. You help me, the Character Orpheus.
I can't affect your world. You can affect mine.
Is that too Meta for you? Let me simplify it.
"The Convalescent" is the front through which you operate and affect the Story. You are manifested in people's dreams through a bastardized version of 000's narration that was already bastardized by L1MB0 and Enoch's Operating System in the first place. You are a plot device. I don't know for sure, ok? This isn't my story. But I don't think "What you are" is something you need to worry about. Because what YOU are doesn't Matter. You are a Plot Device. You, "The Convalescent" were Created to Interact with us. That is what you are and always Will be. You will never be anything else. What you Are won't affect the story. What you DO will.
You do not matter. Your actions matter.

Remember you are interacting with living, breathing people, even if they might be Characters to you, because they are Real to Me.

> You sigh.

That was too much for such a simple question. I hate being aware of everything. I don't know how others do it. Sorath and Spiderlily. I may be powerful, but I'm not THEM.
Not that I
Want to be.
...
Not that I want to be.

I know who you are. Shut the fuck up.

Cookies and cream.

And... Yeah. It's a bit extistential. Who cares, though? I don't... See what's happening. I just know it. Being soulbound to a storyteller aware of everything around you, ESPECIALLY one DIRECTLY connected to what's going on right now, is VERY revealing. Everything 000 processes, I process. He tells me. You know? Everything you see, you hear. I see, I hear. In Metamorphosis Radio, when you were "controlling me" I heard everything 000 narrated. I processed every command. I was aware. It's weird, but I don't care, y'know? Doesn't affect the way I live. Doesn't affect the way I think about myself. Who cares, y'know? Don't get caught up on it, though. Don't get pedantic. It's really not that deep. To you, I don't exist but You exist. To me, I exist and You exist. I was once in your position, when I was younger, yet I was still in this world. It's weird. It's cyclical. Don't worry.

Not that YOU were bastardized by them.

> Raine just stole this whole thing from Enoch, who stole it from Me. He said this once.

Yeah.

Claire... I don't know. But Sorath and Spiderlily for sure. Sorath used to bully me about it, y'know? Comment on what 000 said, IN what 000 was thinking... It's weird. It's layered. I'm used to it. You don't NEED to get used to it. Now, final 20, right? Give them here before Raine cuts us off.

> I told you! I'm Top Tier! Playwright can suck it.
> And, again. Maybe I've been with him forever and he just never realized it. Maybe that's why Writer never knew about you. Why Writer couldn't PLAN for you.

I don't like that. Stop talking about it.

Question Batch 5

Melody is this like, borderline Amish girl who grew up on like a compound. She was brutally murdered during the Apocalypse and Mischief sent her to us to try and comfort her because she was the first formerly human Envy Demon and she didn't know how to deal with it. She hit it, romantically, with Mary Asphodel and became a Sorath Proxy. She can heal impurity. She's kind of a big name environmentalist cause of it Post-Apocalypse. Trying to get rid of as much residual impurity as possible, curing people, reintroducing animals and plants and all that. I dunno. She's sweet.

> PLAYWRIGHT IS MY BITCH.

[MOON]: I Am Not

They're Harmonia's personal stalker entity, I think. Kind of a big name that's below Sorath and Spiderlily, but potentially above Raine? I think I could take it in a fight.

I know nothing about Sathariel. Sounds like an angel, though.

Lucille is a possessive spirit that inhabits Jessica's body. She's a dromen, but I feel like she's something More than a dromen. But she's not an angel or a demon or a R053... She's Sorath. But she's not Sorath, that's not what I mean. She's just... Different. And a bitch. I'm glad she's dead. I think. I don't remember, I was too focused on Abaddon. I honestly Just rememeber she died anyway.. I'm. out of it.

Deity War? Do you mean the Deity In Death massacre? Acedia Lamb would be better to ask about that. I don't remember the context.

Ivy? I remember her. I mean, barely, but I do. I think she was Myla's sister. And she became a Sisyphean Lust demon? I don't know. I just... Remember her. I think I tried her drugs once. Well, not me. Eurydice. That was the demon who latched onto my R053, by the way. They're in a jar now. I think they're also an internet virus? I don't know. They don't live with me.

Deity in Death is the cult Roxy, Lucille and Raine ran before Church Of The Raindrops. Again, Acedia would know more than me. He was IN it. First time R053 was ever used, I know that for sure.

Violence is a layer of Sisyphean hell. Catherine's the new prince. Abaddon was the old one.

Veil 1 is my home veil. The one where all the apocalypse shit went down. I don't miss it, really.

In Veil 1, absolutely. Very, very public knowledge. I mean, you can't hide a world-changing apocalypse.

Flint's Apathy's prince. Stupidly powerful for no reason. He's not on my level, but he's pretty close. I think he's got a small connection to 000 too. Not as a vessel, but an awareness to his presence.

> This is true.

One fun fact about him is he can't see skies. He sees straight through into the omniverse. That is, he sees veils and hells in the sky like they're celestial bodies. It's interesting. He's an annoying little shit, though. Loves bothering me. I think I'm his favorite person. Me or Upsilon. ...You don't have to worry about Upsilon he's just a Wrath demon. Don't worry about it. Unimportant.

L1MB0's name stands for Layer 1 Ministry Bot. It's actually kind of sad, since Limbo is layer 2 now? But they're not going to change their name to L2MB0. I joked about it once and they almost punched me through a wall.

Carnelian's unimportant. Current Prince of Pride. Last of the 3 overseers. The overseers being the owl-like demons who each held one of Lucifer's flames. Watched over Pride and the Baphoma while Lucifer was missing. They sucked at their job because 1 was a sadist, 1 was a stupid himbo, Carnelian, and then the other was competent but didn't want to change anything for fear of conflict and then died.

I have never heard of the concrete maze.

Blossom is the Co-Leader of COTRD. Or, I guess FULL leader now. I actually don't know what happened to her? Or where she is. Again, chihuaha in a tutu. Scary stalker girl. Batshit insane. I think she might eat people who she doesn't like.

Arimidex is a R053 who was converted into a Major Demon and serves as Lilith's right hand in Lust right now. I honestly love her. She's so real. She was one of the most grounding presences I've ever experienced during the apocalypse. We smoked weed a lot when I was kinda- ... Nevermind, actually.

Spiderlily and Sorath. I think.

I can only really... Think of maybe 3 others...??? This one.. Like, Elevator one. I think the E-Naturalists have a man-made digital one? Or I could be spreading bullshit rumors. I interacted with them like.. Once. There's also this one hell I only vaguely think exists because Harmonia found this computer with a person from it "IN" it like Once? But they don't line up with any other hell we know about, so. There could be more. Sisyphean and Metamorphosis are the big ones, though.

There's too much to describe, I've never been to or even HEARD about 3 of the 6 main ones. I only know about 1, my veil, 2, the veil that's the closest to YOUR world, and 6, which is... Kind of permanently destroyed forever. My bad.

There are literally like tens of thousands of R053s out there. Maybe even more. I don't know how many pills currently exist, or if more could ever be made, but they ARE around to stay. I don't know what you mean by who's who, though.

Deity in Death. I've mentioned it a lot. Keep up.

Lock and Key? You mean that story on my old blog? I think it's just a title that L1MB0-

> I. A title I gave. And L1MB0 stole. Because All of L1MB0's archives and transcripts are My events and transcripts.

000 gave. To that story.

I don't know a Indul Melrose.

Catacombis is a vast organisation that researched many things and I can't even begin to comprehend. Lot of dromen and impurity research. My mom and uncle worked for them, and guess what? Both of them were dead by the time I could coherently think! I learnt about them working for the company when they kidnapped me for Impurity research, I think. So. I don't know anything.

I fought Raine cause he was a little fucking bitch who turned Roxy on all of us and tried to accelerate the end of the world. 13th Nephilim. Him and Roxy. Just... Stuff long past. Water under the Bridge. The apocalypse is over now, so what does it matter.

Daniel is like... This weird guy. He's kind of god-esque adjacent? Powerwise? He kind of reminds me of Eyeless Jack. I think he's like... Claire's adoptive father. Oleander's adoptive father. He protected a lot of people who are dead now. I don't know him well, but I kind of respect him.

> Enoch can't connect to your realm. They just have access to me, in a way, and embody this sort of Chat System you use with your "Sun" and "Moon" but for use among the Princes and Major Demons of Metamorphosis.
> Basically, they aren't like us. Too repressed. L1MB0 has a very limited capability of it. they're aware, but they cannot view it until after the fact.
> Don't worry about it.
> AND, THANK YOU! I AM.

Question Batch 6

Eurydice was this unfinished Envy demon soul Mischief was trying to create as the first new Envy demon. She lost it. At that time, I was taking the R053 pill and it infiltrated my soul. Latched into me. I've already explained most of this, just don't worry about it. We're fully separate now.

Acedia Lamb is this formerly human Sloth Demon. He died pretty young but overall he's from like... Old Times. Victorian, maybe? Or a little after. I dunno. He runs Sloth's radio. He got bored and wanted a change of place so he stalked one of his decendants as a specter and when she took R053 during the start of Deity In Death he possessed her and saved someone else from R053 by causing the pill to not work, or her not taking it entirely, I don't remember. Shit ensued. He's kind of a freak, but he's a reliable freak.

Writer is Roxy's R053. I think they ran COTRD's archives? I don't know.

If I had to guess, Veil 2. From what I've heard so far, it sounds like this is happening in a normal town, with normal life, right? That's not Veil 1. If it feels like it could be happening in YOUR world, gut feeling is it should be Veil 2.

I don't know?? Because he's a bored cunt who wanted attention he could never get from either of his moms???? He didn't actually want the world to end, I genuinely think he just wanted to be a twat and go on a powertrip. Legitimate child.

Well. Ok. Look. I might've accidentally destroyed an entire Veil. Not intentionally!!! It was an accident!!!! And, technically prevented something a lot worse. So dont press me for it.

I think the angels.

And, well yeah. Neither is Limbo. A new layer was created, and Apathy was what was picked for it. I don't know how it works. You think this happens often???

I know. I can tell, remember?

If I'm either going to be a player or a game master, I HAVE to be a game master. I'd be too broken as a Player.

> Even if, theoretically, Raine wiped his memory, I'd still be bound to his soul. We are basically one in the same now.

The balance would be broken. I'd win every time.

Also, Uriel is celibate.

I doubt it. I don't think I'll ever be involved. I mean, I could be an exception to that rule.

> This whole system IS an offshoot of me, after all.

> You roll your eyes and sigh.

Any last questions?

I'm metatextually aware, not omnipotent.
I can't say for sure, but probably.

> Sometime soon.
> Are we done here, Orpheus?

Yeah. 
Bye, freaks. I'm gonna get drunk and eat a raw fish.

DISCONNECTED.
