persephone was a giant ass monster and the cult leader was horny for it

if you got anything from the cult you should fuckin burn it. [...] wait if it's a plant maybe put it in a bag and like. give it to research. but seriously that shit should get burned cause it's zombie brainwash monster parts

i grabbed one of its creepy vines and it screamed and got the FUCK out and everyone quit zombie mode

oh yeah. fuckin monster's still out there

[crawlwaller]

[...] Oh so like this could happen again soon

[stophit]

yeah. it fuckin hauled ass out of there too. we need gps devices or something that we can just stick on things. like find my iphone but for freaky liminal monsters

[crawlwaller]

That's a good idea we could figure out their home bases and stuff too that way even just for normal ones like for study I mean not EVERYTHING out there wants to kill us right

[stophit]

saw some blades of grass once that didn't try to kill me

[crawlwaller]

I mean I'd say we probably don't have to track those but honestly they might move too

[...] Anyway good job stopping Persephone for n

[coulee]

like tagging wildlife

[crawlwaller]

Yeah exactly

[dorinlee]

[...] Maybe? But it seems like Persephone she the creature never would've had that sort of reach without a lot of help. And most people don't just go wandering into the Riftlands like Marius Wicker did. It sounds like he did that on his own.

[crawlwaller]

Ok that's fair [...] ok so the sage stuff got to everybody's heads and then Persephone just like beaconed everybody out to her and then Sal got her and she turned off her beacon and without the sage stuff her beacon won't work again [...] right?

[stophit]

kinda sounded like something changed. like maybe it was normal and cool for awhile and then all of this happened. idk. he seemed confused as fuck cause there's no way there was anything normal and cool about harvesting sage off a monster

[crawlwaller]

Maybe it was the mist or the storm or moles got to them or Ernest Waters or idk who even knows maybe nothing changed maybe it was just shifty all along and she found a shifty Renfield and then all this

[dorinlee]

That's what it seemed like to me. But [...] I guess it's hard to know for certain.

Maybe Research will be able to make sense of it?

[crawlwaller]

[...] Cool you got to see all that go down though even if it probably wasn't great

Hopefully bc I know I won't haha

[inosculate]

So maybe he was like putting out ‘please let me feed my friends and neighbors to a hungry plant monster’ vibes?

[dorinlee]

[...] Something like that? Maybe 'I'm searching for something meaningful and I'm malleable' vibes?

[failson]

You're a hero (again)!

[stophit]

my superpower of making girls scream and run away when they see me

how was it around here

[failson]

You're just being modest.

It was like Dawn of the Dead, only we were trying to lock the zombies in the mall instead of the other way around.

[stophit]

aw man. is the stamp place ok

[nolitangere]

We had to chase down Director Magdy some people. The staff-only area of the commercial center has a very weird Scooby Doo-type hallway of doors situation.

[stophit]

sounds like everyone's ok so you guys must've been heroic as shit too

[philomathean]

You’re a natural born leader, man. Seriously. So glad you were out there with me.

[stophit]

yo are you kidding. EVERYONE you gotta know we woulda never found it without annie. she's the fuckin mvp

[philomathean]

The ability to sense heavy breathing does come in handy from time to time haha. We should team up more often. Search and destroy 🪳👃👊
