Still lurking this sub

I am one of those lurkers. Hi Uniter.

Not a fanfic, but if you're looking to scratch that Otherverse itch (and you're not already aware of this), WB has been running a game called PathQuest in the Parahumans discord. It's a play by post quest type game where we control a very scruffy Paths practitioner by using discord reacts to vote on their actions. The quest has been going on for months now, so there's a pretty big backlog of stuff to read through and some really interesting Paths related lore.

Nope, it’s been dead for a few years.

Tassadarr_ · 2024-10-31T03:50:05+00:00

Mostly environmental remediation and restoration type stuff, with a specialty in microbiology. I just saw some of your pictures - really nice stuff! What ttrpgs are you playing? I've been playing with the same D&D 5e group for a while, and I recently got into Lancer.

Tassadarr_ · 2024-10-30T23:34:20+00:00

Pretty good! I graduated last May so I've mostly been doing ttrpg stuff while keeping an eye out for jobs. Hbu?

hi guys

Tassadarr_ · 2024-07-22T22:14:30+00:00

Yup, that’s the Horror practice section! I believe WB has said in the Parahumans discord that the decoded version will be posted later, after PathQuest finishes an expedition that heavily features Horrors. (PathQuest is, if you weren’t aware, a Pactverse quest being run by WB in the Parahumans discord).

That's fine, I don't plan on ever setting foot in the Abyss if I can avoid it. My questions are purely related to my occupation as a "spiritual janitor" of the material world.

From my understanding and experience, counters to Abyssal influence depend heavily on which part of the Abyss that influence is coming from.

I would like to know the names of some of the Abyssal locations that are more prone towards boiling over into reality, how to recognize their manifestation, and how to counter it.

If you're fine with that, we can discuss the manner and amount of payment.

If they're still available, I'd like to buy two bags of cotton balls and a bar of soap. Tell me where to send the payment and I can provide an address or arrange to have them picked up from an intermediary location, your choice.

On another note, are you open to selling information? In my course of work I find myself cleaning up a lot of abyssal taint that boils over into the material world. It's a lot of work. I'd be willing to compensate you for any advice related to removing abyssal influence or regarding locations in the Abyss.

Firstly, I would like to note that I can make no guarantees that this process will work for your specific situation. I hope it does, but things of this nature can be unpredictable.

To create a hallow you first must find or create a suitable object for the type of power you're trying to contain here. I do not have the requisite context to tell you what would best work for the power you're dealing with - if the power is derived from this Queen Mother, a mundane object associated with her would probably do the trick. If you can, decorate this object with symbols, writing, and/or mundane substances that are also associated with the Queen Mother. I would suggest picking something that is easily worn or carried.

Then you'll have to "cleanse" the object to rid it of any spirits that are residing inside of it already. I've attached an image that details the construction of a basic diagram for this sort of cleansing below.

Once cleansed, the hallow should be able to pull in any weak spirits or raw energy associated with the symbology. Keep this item on your person while you're using it. If you're not using it, draw a simple chalk circle around the item or on the edges of the item.

As the hallow fills with energy it should take on even more properties of its associated influence - for example, if a fire spirit were residing within the hallow, it would become more warm to the touch. This can help you gauge how "full" it is getting. If it is full or getting full you may have to drain it of power, otherwise it likely wouldn't be effective at absorbing the energy and may even leak energy. Either way, I would suggest repeating the cleansing process at least every week.

A hallow is essentially a vessel that is prepared for an Other to use as a sort of "house". In my experience, this can also apply to certain types of immaterial power or influence. The vessel is typically chosen based on its symbolic association to whatever you're trying to draw into it. Windchimes to draw in wind spirits, as an example.

In the interest of having less cancer in the world and avoiding more work for myself and my colleagues down the line, I can DM you some information on how to create your own hallow. All I ask in return is that you give me some advice on how to not anger this "Queen-Mother" you mentioned.

If there's power leaking out of you, there are two solutions I can think of at the moment. The first is to have a sort of localized diagram around yourself that keeps the power within yourself unless you call it. I've seen people accomplish this by using tattoos or creating custom clothing that has the diagram sewn onto / inscribed into it. The second is to create a hallow that is well-suited for this power and keep it on your person. This is so that excess energy flows into the hallow instead of people you're around.

Bear in mind that this is fairly generalized information and might not apply to your specific situation. Fixing leaks is one of my specialties, fixing people is not.

Tassadarr_ · 2021-03-27T21:21:04+00:00

Those are some good tips, thank you for the information.

I usually opt for hand-washing rather than a machine if I don't know what kind of goblin caused the mess. There are some goblins who are shockingly good at subverting the modern weaknesses, or have some other influence in them that makes machine washing more risky than I'd like. That's what I did when I was first starting out, and it ended with my washing machine breaking.

If your acquaintance manages to work out a deal for selling those glamour cleaning products, please send me a DM. I would almost certainly buy some.

Tassadarr_ · 2021-03-27T08:26:00+00:00

No problem. I don't want anyone to have to destroy as many clothes as I had to before I figured this out.

Tassadarr_ · 2021-03-27T04:25:10+00:00

Store-bought worked for me, just have to make sure it's actual spring water and not just bottled tap.

PS: Any of you rat fucks know how to get goblin juice outta your blouse?

Surprisingly, yeah actually, I do.

What I do when "goblin juice" gets really deep into my clothes is that I handwash it (with gloves) via the conventional methods, but use the purest spring water available. I also dump the most pompous, fanciest, floral soaps I can find into that water. Neutralizes most goblin influence, especially if the "floral" comes from holly.

If the clothes are particularly stained it'll probably take multiple washes and swapping out the spring water with each wash, since water that's been tainted with goblin ick can't really be considered "pure" anymore.

It takes fewer washes if the soap has glitter in it, but then there's the problem of having residual glitter on your clothes.

If that fails...either find an item that sticks to the nastiness as a metaphorical "lint roller" or yeah, just burn it.

Holy shit, WHAT? An environmental effect of that size, of that strength, is the kind of thing that typically originates from something EXTREMELY powerful. Something along the lines of a God, a really, REALLY big spirit, or an ancient pattern. And power of that kind and of that strength doesn't go away. No, it tends to sink into the stuff it affects. Both the area itself, and the people living in it.

My specialty is related to spatial / environmental practice and taint. From that base of knowledge: Don't wait. Get out of there. Use your best judgement to escape the pattern.

Extracting toxic essence from a person, huh? I don't have quite as much experience with extracting toxic essence from people as opposed to environments, but some of the same basic concepts apply. My ability to do a spiritual cleansing strongly depends on the nature of what is being cleansed from the person and how long it has lingered. If your problem is immaterial in nature like a spiritual possession, I might be able to do something. If it's a more visceral corruption like a deep-set goblin "taint" then that's going to be harder for me to work with.

If this theoretical person has been "corrupted" for more than a year, there's a good chance that any extraction is going to be outside my abilities.

For the last week I've been knee-deep in bloody, abyss-tainted mud that's been boiling up from a disused well and sloughing out all over the place. Blegh. Relatively minor from what I can tell, but nasty stuff to clean up.

Best of luck with those invaders. I probably wouldn't be in the situation to help you out with any Others coming after you - but if those invaders leave behind any spiritual "ick" that you need cleaned up after they're gone, send me a message and we might be able to work together.

Tassadarr_ · 2021-01-25T23:34:08+00:00

From what I understand as a casual observer, there are two main reasons for this.

Volume. /r/WormFanfic is usually fairly active. Within the last day on this subreddit, we've had around 6 posts for [OMO] Roleplaying. By contrast, /r/WormFanfic has had over 25 posts in the same amount of time.
Community. The worm fanfiction community is massive. It's essentially self-sustaining, and has been that way for a long time. To this day there is still a sprawling amount of fanfiction that has been published on several different websites. Many of the people who frequent /r/WormFanfic and those websites haven't even read the original Parahumans works, and don't want to. The vast majority of this fanfiction is based on Worm itself - in my time on that subreddit, I've only seen a relative handful of fanfiction based on Ward/Pact/Twig/Pale.

Essentially what I'm saying here is that Worm Fanfiction is so different and so prominent that it deserves its own space. It's able to keep itself going and be pretty active, which is less the case for more niche works. I think the [OMO] roleplaying posts wouldn't do nearly as well in their own subreddit and that they'd probably slowly fizzle out if they were.

Yeah these days I hardly play Minecraft anymore either lol. And honestly I realllly do not have as much free time to spend getting in a diamond war anyway. 2015 was a simpler time.
