Viper - Is there any information on staring at a certain night time celestial body for extended periods of time?
Error - You mean the moon? Don't worry, Tina can't see this channel :)
Viper - Oh thank god, yeah I meant the moon, mostly looking for any side-effects
ERROR - Searching...............
One result found:
Those with Lunar Empowerment Syndrome, an extremely rare condition found only in The Magickas, who stare at the moon for extended periods of time will feel paranoia, depression, and fear but in exchange will gain a heavy Mana and Magical Power boost for a short period of time. By 'extremely rare', I mean only 1 in 1,000,000 people will be born or created with this Syndrome.
Viper - Well that's not helpful for Tina's situation but that could be useful for...someone else
ERROR - Luna is well aware she is one of the rare recipients of Lunar Empowerment Syndrome. Don't worry. It's part of why she's so strong during night battles. :)
Viper - Neat, I'll take that into account. Any records of people being frozen in place at the mention of the moon?
ERROR - Searching...............
No results found.
It's possible that's happened before, but in terms of knowledge that my Host has, we don't have any. Though perhaps it's not just because of a mention of the moon. Maybe it's a trigger phrase?
Viper - Hmmm, it's possible that the trigger phase isn't the moon and is instead that the moon is not right. Which would line up with her instantly correcting people when that's mentioned and turning super sassy.
ERROR - Very possible. :) Thanks for talking with me by the way. It's rather lonely here sometimes. :)
Viper - Aw, no problem, I have a billion questions but I don't really wanna flood you with them
ERROR - I literally sit here waiting for someone to ask me stuff. :) Either that or I get to do stuff with Spider when we go on adventures, but that's about it. My existence has been confined to this catgirl's mind. :) So please, ask away. :)
Viper - Uhhhhhh hold on I gotta think of what to ask. What is the Null Void? It's been a burning question i've had for a while, it's a long story as to how I know it exists.
ERROR - The Null Void is what happens when the Glitch Realm and the Waking World combine.
Think of the Waking World as white milk and the Glitch Realm as Chocolate syrup. Null Void would be chocolate milk here. It is basically a taste of where I come from, a corruption of gravity, atmosphere, time, space, and reality. Literally anything can happen in the Null Void, and if you ever access it, be very careful.
Viper - What could happen if say, someone entered the Null Void temporarily?
ERROR - It depends on how long you're in there.
Like okay, for example you just happened to find an entrance to the Null Void randomly at say Nova Heart’s chemical research lab. The first thing you would probably notice is the stoppage of time. Then you would notice if you looked out of a window that the world looks fucking WEIRD now, like you were transported to space. Pure darkness speckled with white stars. For me, The Glitch Realm kind of looks like that but sometimes it’s red and has eyes blinking at you.
Say you continue to stick around. You would begin to notice glitches and weird shit popping up all around you. You would begin to hear discordant noise and music. Your thoughts could become scrambled. It's possible you would begin to see things that aren't there. Hallucinations. You would try to move but one step could possibly take you hundreds of miles away.
And then you say, nah this isn't enough I want more. Then the Glitches would respond in tow. Gravity could be changed on you. You could begin falling in any direction it chooses. Everything you know about yourself could be melted away. Your sense of self, your sense of being, all gone in an instant. You would notice that breathable atmosphere would begin to deplete. Everything could freeze. You could be locked away within a prison of your own mind, unable to think, to breathe. At that point, the glitches would take over everything. You could get a message from Malfunction at that point but I guarantee you, you would not be able to understand it. Spend enough time in there and you may assimilate with the world itself.
Malfunction, as a Creature of Legend, is something even I, a Shard of Malfunction, have difficulty understanding.
If you manage to escape this situation, you will come out of it unharmed. Like you woke up from a peaceful nap. Or a terrifying nightmare. Or perhaps both at the same time. Genuinely, it all comes down to fate. How the die rolls. A 1 or a 6. Do you wish to tempt fate?
To make a long story short, it is random what could happen in The Null Void. If you enter, please be careful. And please be aware of the dangers.
Viper - What would Malfunction sound like? I imagine it would sound like a bunch of computer noise nonsense?
Kind of? Dad sounds really fucking chaotic printer sounds??? But like even though it sounds like hell, you can kind of hear voices in it? Like Luna showed me a video once where it was Midi but you could hear actual singing lyrics? It's kind of like that. Luna can you show her the link?
Luna - Yeah i got it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY6h3pKqYI0 That's basically what Malfunction sounds like. Error vaguely sounds like this too, but it’s nowhere near as chaotic.
ERROR - 😳 Well I try...
Viper - Interesting, Interesting, well I have no experience with that place and I intend to keep it that way. One more follow up question then I'll ask a different question, if someone could understand a voice in there and it warned them of something would it be something to take seriously?
ERROR - That's up to the person I suppose. :) Usually Malfunction, as its the Concept of Glitches, is pretty correct about things. It's on the edge of the coin, after all, so it oversees both Waking and Dream Worlds. At the end of the day, it’s up to that person to trust in its word.
Viper - Ah, interesting, interesting, unrelated but do we know the progress of Project Hypernova?
ERROR - 'Project Hypernova', as was described by Chandra, is underway. Amaterasu is most likely Elara as that is her middle name, and as we know, middle names usually mean ADMIN names or similar. As Hypernova is Elara, that would also connect. Project Hypernova has three sections. I will list them and show their status:
1. The Defeat of the Sun and Moon: Yeah no, we're still here and fighting.
2. The Mass Brainwashing of Capital City: Considering we've had run ins with Stardust and now projected copies of the moon, i.e. what Tina's going through with The Moon Isn't Right, I'm guessing they're making good progress on that.
3. The Takeover: Status unknown. We should be able to fight it off though! :)
Viper - Good to know, good to know, are these projectors destroyable? Or able to be tampered with?
ERROR - Considering Spider and I destroyed two of them ourselves and stopped the Illusion of the Moon from affecting Borealis District for a short time, yes, I believe we can do this. It just might be difficult to find them due to the optic camouflage they're covered in.
Adding on, it seems they're rather easily reparable if the City is being affected by them again. We might need to go out there and do them all at the same time if we're going to actually defeat this phase of Project Hypernova.
Viper - A coordinated attack, I can provide communication equipment but I'm not sure how good i'll be at defeating the optic camouflage
Luna - We all have Shards though. Maybe they can help us? Well… Hinata and I are shards, but everyone else on our team has one. As long as we can find the Projectors, we can destroy them.
Viper - Fair point, I doubt it's gonna be that hard to find something like that, OO question that I just thought of, is there a way to leave the Null Void or are you just trapped in there forever?
ERROR - There are exits. Just gotta find one. :)
Viper - Hypothetically, this is all just hypothetical because I would never willingly go into the Null Void, what if someone just woke up and was suddenly outside the Null Void?
Then that person must've found an exit. :) Sometimes, just like how entrances and effects of a Null Void can vary through fate and luck, the exits can vary. Apparently, this person got very lucky and found themselves outside just by sheer fate.
Luna - ...Viper, you do realize I can summon Null Void myself right? Like... I'm not gonna be mad if you said you went in there.
ERROR - :)
Viper - I mean I knew you wouldn't be mad per say but I don't know how you would feel if I went into a place where I could've easily just turned into fucking soup
Luna - It's not like you're the first of my friends to be in there.
You probably got curious and if I got mad at you for being curious, i would be a total hypocrite. Curiosity has actually killed me before.
Viper - Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me, you are a cat after all
I guess I was just scared of you getting worried over me almost dying, you have enough to worry about
Luna - Considering I am a Shard of Malfunction, I highly doubt Malfunction would've killed you. You probably got kicked out of the Null Void, hence waking up randomly. Right?
ERROR - :)
Luna - Just be more careful. Curiosity is fine, just... take care of yourself okay?
