Video UN :Tillinghast

[tillinghast]

[ the video opens to a small unintimidating man with hazel eyes and shaggy brown hair. He looks perplexed but also not the usual grade of panic.

New yes, but not as new as it would appear.]

Hello to anyone listening. Hopefully this time I have done this right. My name is Crawford Tillinghast, I am a physicist. I have been here myself a couple weeks but have tried to figure these things out myself, sadly everything is a little outside of my realm of understanding.

That said, I would appreciate any help that can be given.

[You had him at 'physicist'. Someone David can bounce ideas off of. So the guy gets a video back. of a clearly young but smiling young man. One who looks half relieved.]

What sort of physicist? Pure physics, theoretical, quantum, astro? And what kind of help do you want?

[tillinghast]

[ Crawford smiled hearing the response. Yes, good yes. ]

Theoretical, for the most part, but I have worked a fair bit with the results of stimulating the pineal gland with resonate sound waves. Mostly, the help I need is figuring out some of this newer technology.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Well now David is even MORE invested.]

So you're looking to stimulate the release of more melotonin? Interesting prospect. Seems more neurology than theoretical physics, but I can see the application value. Sleeping medications are complicated and not always reliable, and can have terrible interaction issues with other drugs. Yet if you had a device that could stimulate the pineal gland to produce melotonin, especially if you could do it even if there is light around, you'd help with regulating sleep schedules a lot better, wouldn't you.

I'm intrigued.

[Yeah, talk science to him. What? David has insomnia issues.]

[tillinghast]

Well not exactly, Dr. Petroius, who I worked under. Was trying to open the third eye. He theorized and then proved that it does have dormant power. [ He almost looks terrified as he says it, idly picking at the bandage on his cheek.]

I was merely his assistant, he wanted a physicist to work with him and I was fresh out of college. [ And Naive as hell. ]

Though, your idea does hold an interesting application there. Sleep medication is often unreliable, stimulation may be the key to that.

[ Oh no. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

[Open the third eye? Well there are just exercises for that. Which David is terrible at because it's magic and magic is illogical and he is all about logic.]

In my world, there is definitely magic powers associated with it.

[tillinghast]

Edward beleived everyone could do it with help from the right resonate frequency... and I admit it worked, but not with the desired outcome. At least magic might explain certain things even without logical reasoning to support it.

[helpdesk_hero]

From my experience, Magic isn't very logical. But yes, there is a lot that could be explained with that mess.

What happened?

[tillinghast]

Maybe so, I would have to know more about Magic to make a real guess

As for what happened, well. Edward and I caused something to happen that anyone who heard the waves could see the creatures in the air all around us. They killed Edward and I was locked away as a mad man until someone finally listened... but that machine we made is evil. Pure evil.

[helpdesk_hero]

No, the machine you made wasn't evil. It just revealed more about the world than you were ready to handle. That's always fair. The world is a truly scary place, and I'm saying that as a guy that's visited hell.

[tillinghast]

...Visited Hell?


It's real?

[helpdesk_hero]

Of course it's real. Hell dimensions are a thing. The one I've been to is called Limbo.

[despite what his username might suggest, the voice that answers sounds extremely masculine.]

Mm, got bad news for you, pal. If you're here with the rest of us, you're beyond help.

[jason? trolling? more likely than you think!]

[tillinghast]

[ Joy, one of these, oh well. He can work with it. ]

Well, that is certainly uninspiring, but is it really bad here?

[scathefires]

Depends. "Really bad" is kinda subjective. What're you used to? What's it like where you're from?

[tillinghast]

That's harder to explain than it sounds. I'm from Arkham, Massachusetts. I went to Miskatonic, I'm used to a little bit of oddity, but I've seen things humans shouldn't. If that answers the questions.

[ This is all new of course, damn that machine. ]

[scathefires]

Hm ... not really, no. Kinda just creates more questions. When you say you've seen things humans shouldn't, are we talkin' abstract performance art, or something a little more sinister?

[tillinghast]

Definitely more sinister. [ He makes a discouraged face. ] Think... science fiction horror movie.

[scathefires]

Have you looked outside lately? We’re in a science fiction horror movie.

[tillinghast]

Honestly, I would classify this place as more science fiction proper. I haven't seen anything really horror related yet, but I'm new.

[ CAN YOU HEAR THE ANXIETY IN HIS VOICE JASON? CAN YOU! ]

[scathefires]

[yup. and unfortunately jason’s not gonna help with that.]

Give it time. I’m sure we’ll see something horrible before too long. We usually do.

[ask him about his hops around the multiverse!]

[tillinghast]

That... sounds ominous. And like you have a story there.

[ he wants to hear it plz.]

[scathefires]

Got lots of stories. Gettin' dumped here ain't my first rodeo - it's my third. And based on my experience in the other two places? It's only a matter of time before something terrible crawls out of the woodwork to make our lives a living hell. Dinosaurs, evil murder-clones ... anything's possible.

[tillinghast]

Well. Thats horrifying. Thank you.

[ Those Hazel eyes happen to be a lot wider. Mild inner panic moments. ]

[scathefires]

Hey, you said you wanted help. What's more helpful than being prepared?

[ichoosefight]

What kind of help are you looking for? I can point you at the best coffee shops, but physics is really not my subject.

[tillinghast]

....Coffee is good! I could use some good coffee to be honest.

[ He can't help but give a slight smile. Coffee is good, coffee is normal. ]

[ichoosefight]

Coffee is amazing, and Cafe Driade is the best-cheapest in town.

[tillinghast]

I will keep that in mind, thank you.

[ichoosefight]

Happy to be of service.
