WHAT in person
WHERE anywhere
WHEN day 106

[ all around town there are little origami animals with sticky notes on them that say 'pick me up and learn about me'

— which, if you do pick them up then you'll gain one of those animal traits. Maybe fox ears, sparrow wings, so forth and so on. It'll only last for a few hours . . . but do be careful about picking up too many. Do you really want 17 pairs of ears on your head. . .? ]

The Norse gods?

[selfidentitytheft]

Yeah, like, uh, some version of them, but yeah.

[rulesbyheart]

They're limited by the playing field.

[selfidentitytheft]

Anyone would be when the place resets everything damaged.

[rulesbyheart]

Does it happen immediately?

[selfidentitytheft]

Small things are fast. Like, it’s really convenient if you drop a plate or something, but. Uh.

People take longer.

[rulesbyheart]

"People take longer" how'd you find that out?

[selfidentitytheft]

Oh I'm not speaking from experience. It's just that people get sent to the hospital instead of regenerating on the spot.

[rulesbyheart]

Oh. That's less alarming.

It makes sense, doesn't it? We're not native to this world so we can't, uh, "reset" like everything else does. You've been here long?

[selfidentitytheft]

Yeah, uh, I dunno how it goes for the natives though.

I've only been here like, 3 months? 3-and-a-half.

[rulesbyheart]

You haven't been hurt at all?

[selfidentitytheft]

Who would hurt me?

[rulesbyheart]

Same people who'd send other people to the hospital.

[selfidentitytheft]

Yeah, uh, I try not to associate with those kind of people?

There's plenty of plain, normal, not-murdering-people-in-alleys people.

[rulesbyheart]

People who don't do murders in alleys are "plain"? That's harsh.

[selfidentitytheft]

Plain is a good thing in this instance!

[rulesbyheart]

Not sure all of the plain people would agree.

[selfidentitytheft]

Okay then they can go run down bloody alleyways. This plain dude is fine as he is thanks.

[rulesbyheart]

Calling yourself plain is the same as holding a sign reading "I got a big secret, please do not ask about it." Just an F Y I.

[selfidentitytheft]

This and that are unrelated!

[rulesbyheart]

[waves a hand]

I don't make it my business to get into other people's business unless I'm working. Just thought you'd appreciate knowing so you're less obvious about it.

[selfidentitytheft]

I appreciate it, but I don't think most people would jump straight to "secret" before something like, I dunno, job dissatisfaction or something.

What's your job?

[rulesbyheart]

I'm unemployed now. I was a— uh. Cop. Of sorts.

[selfidentitytheft]

"Of sorts." That sounds sketchy as hell.

[rulesbyheart]

It's a hassle to explain. I got tired of it, so I'm just a "plain" guy now.
