Hyacinth's Journal

August 3rd, 2024
Just read the newsletter. From what's written, you're planning on getting me involved in some Undertale type bullshit? Normally I'd tell you to kick rocks, but at this point I'm desperate enough to do anything that'll get me out of this hellhole. I have one request though. Don't make it possible to do a genocide run. I don't wanna do that.
Like sure, if I have to defend myself, I won't shy away from offing someone, but by and large there's more victims of the system than those who truly want to cause harm here. So keep that in mind the next time you have the fates of others in your hands.
Got it?

Another bullshit day at work. Had to figure out how to get past a spike pit with shortstop, almost got beat up in the hallway, and then when I finally got back to the office, my own dead body was there for some fucking reason?!
No known visible injuries, but still covered in blood. Lucifer says the experts are gonna do some tests on a blood sample but doubts they'll come to any conclusions. I have some theories, but I don't like what it might be implying...
I've asked Lark to visit the tower of the fallen to get any reports on anyone new that might have fallen recently. It'll be a lot more reliable than whoever can get bribed into writing lies for the autopsy report, that's for sure.

So yesterday I took a trip to seize the autopsy report and dispose of the body. Dealt with the usual amount of bullshit to get there. However, once I got to the room, the body had been licked clean of any blood on the outside?? I found the culprit pretty easily, a nameless iguana consort with a suspicious red ring around their mouth. While technically this wouldn't mean much, it was still annoying.
Later on, the kid FOLLOWED me to the incinerator and ended up causing trouble. They managed to escape with some dirty laundry (the literal kind) and I hope they don't cause any more trouble again. Seemed a lot more articulate and self reflective than most consorts I've met, though still annoying.
I tossed the captchalogue card into the fire. Seemed more dignified of a send-off than direct burning.

Thank you to everyone that's been doing their part. I bought as much time as I could, and somehow a report from Thanatos extended the deadline indefinitely. Now all we can do is wait for whatever clues might be dropped. I'm too nervous to focus on my mission for now. I trust those of you that have gotten involved, Leta and Skye, I believe? Stay safe. I've heard that some security footage was retrieved from the bubble that the three ghosts disappeared from. The time it will take to convert the footage to something more substantial is probably the thing holding this situation in suspense right now. Be careful.

The boss went on a drunken bender last night and somehow the only thing he managed to do was get the idea to pick up the dnd campaign he was DMing last year again. Thing is, some of the files got damaged, eaten, set on fire, or just straight-up lost. I really hope this doesn't fuck anything up too badly.
I am looking forward to lucifer having a good distraction so I can sneak out for a while at least.
Also, there was one sheet that I just could not read no matter how hard I tried. got a fucking headache staring at it for too long. I can only hope that sheet is just as much inscrutable to the dungeon master over here, because I've got a hunch on whose sheet that is...

Larkspur is telling me that a doomed copy of me ended up in Skitis's sylladex? If it's the one that I destroyed the captchalogue card for, this might be a possible method to smuggle items out of here without detection. Might need more tests though, this time with something less disturbing.
As for what to do with the body, just give it a proper burial. the one who once occupied it is long gone on their own unknown adventures anyways.

I don't know how, but lucifer has managed to even make a regular-ass pokemon journey seem ominous. Apparently he's been doing more questing in Hoenn, even kicking team magma's ass. He had this whole-ass rant about how humanity doesn't deserve the land they rest upon and how Maxie's goals are fucking stupid, especially when half his grunts are just looting thugs. But then he went on about the ancient mural he saw in granite cave, and how it gave him a sinister idea. Apparently he wants to find and catch that thing just to wreak havoc for the sake of chaos itself? Come to think of it, did Giratina ever return to his side after that recent sighting at the tower of the fallen, or even a few months before that?
Either way, I'm pretty sure my boss's plans are even more stupid than team magma's plans, somehow. Wouldn't be surprised if a team aqua talent scout tries to recruit him or some shit.
Speaking of talent scouts though, apparently some idol gave him a contest pass and he won his first contest spectacular with his shroomish. He's got the pokemon sitting on his desk wearing a green ribbon. Occasionally today he's been giving them praise, but I'm sure the moment he loses a contest with Mound, he'll be punting them across the room or some shit. I don't trust him one fucking bit.
Meanwhile, I haven't had a clear enough mind to sneak out while he's on his adventures lately. I know it would be the perfect time to hit up the alchemy factory, but I just don't feel ready for some reason.
