Xiaomu's GoKrida

Absolutely and Utter Lost... still

2007-10-12T21:03:00.001-04:00

It's more than a month now... we are still wandering as lost souls, with bare consciousness and ability to swing between realms without the sight or body to explore this beloved universe. How long would we need to wait....

Imbue

2007-08-27T08:37:00.001-04:00

Today I have the ability to Imbue.
Right now, it's only on the Rim. Origin doesn't allow for this action.
I have yet to try this out...
........
After clicking on the Imbue link, this familiar looking message is what I received:

So.. I am going to give it a try now...

And I got the old

You feel yourself lighten.

message after Imbue.

Reloading the screen got rid of that message and now I can no longer Imbue.

This all just happened at 12:42 GKST.

I just drifted back to Origin and there is also an Imbue ability now. This option didn't show up when I first arrived back to Origin. It's now 13:25 GKST.

So far, I only had the Imbue option twice. (That's 50 SE.)

Imbue by xiaomu, cumulative count: 2

Drifting

2007-08-25T23:48:00.000-04:00

I was obviously lost in the Rim for the past week or so. Now, I have just "drifted" into Tempolis. And the new quote is:

"You drift through expectant nothingness." Still marked as a Lost Soul.

I got drift again and went back to the Rim again.

Drifted again -- and came to Chaos: "You drift through dull nothingness."

Drifted back to the Rim and then in Chaos again. So... that's half a day with several drifting options.

And I finally landed in Greyness.. it's... um... GREY.

You feel alien memories drifting past you like snow.
You feel unchanged.

OR

You feel alien memories drifting past you like snow.
You feel different than before.

(Really random, huh?)

Ah... finally -- drifting to Origin! A pretty sight greeted me...

You feel yourself drifting bodiless through great tides of light.

Today's drifting journey path:

(Started at 10:14 EST and 14:14 GKST)

Rim -> Tempolis -> Rim -> Chaos -> Rim -> Chaos ->
Rim -> Chaos -> Rim -> Greyness -> Rim -> Origin

(Concluded at 23:47 EST and 03:47 GKST)

Fatigued

2007-08-23T08:37:00.001-04:00

So.. today I discovered that we lost souls can be "fatigued." Of course, after wandering aimlessly for so many days...

Still Lost

2007-08-22T06:52:00.001-04:00

Lost Soul

This is a screen shot of what I encounter every time attempting to enter the GoKrida universe. A few refreshings and then the screen goes back to show me one of the static quotes and time of the day.

Unconscious Soul

Lost Forever?

2007-08-19T19:47:00.000-04:00

So, we cannot pretend that GoKrida is a universe existing in our minds and will be in our lives forever. Today, we saw that the controllers of this universe might "terminate" this place entirely.

It is difficult, or impossible, to express how I feel now. How deeply dismayed and depressed this situation makes me. I'm entirely lost, my heart weeps for the loss of a beloved place and the host of amazing characters that I've called friends for the past 3 years.

Lost Soul

2007-08-19T00:06:00.001-04:00

Now I'm upgraded (We're) to Lost Souls.

Two new messages:

You feel alien memories drifting past you like snow.
You feel unchanged.

Your soul wanders through an endless labyrinth of invisible pathways.
You feel lost.

That was only for a very very short time.. a blip... but a hopeful blip! See one captured image:

lost soul quote

One befitting, none-lost-soul quote of the day:

What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos. --Kerry Thornley
13:22

You feel yourself fall apart

2007-08-18T10:23:00.000-04:00

At 5:31 GMT/GKST, we all received this email notification:

"You feel yourself fall apart."

Should I feel hopeful over such bleak a message? At least this signifies that something is still at work.

Still unconscious

2007-08-18T06:29:00.001-04:00

Every morning, I wake in Dream and hope. Every morning, the hope is shattered by the persistent void.

Anniversary

2007-08-17T15:23:00.001-04:00

Wow. Just checked the oldest post on this sporadically updated journal... it's a year to the day. Happy Anniversary to Me!

Donation/SE

2007-08-16T11:37:00.000-04:00

So. I donated. Yes. It's for experiment! I donated $5.00... and, my gmail account attached to xiaomu's soul received the system message:

Do not reply to this email! Reply at this link:
http://gokrida.net/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (blotted out account info.)
----------------------------------------

You feel a surge of energy.

So. Even though my soul is unconscious, my telepathic faculty seems to be functioning well and the universe is not unconscious, in contrast to my soul's state.

Thursday Quotes

2007-08-16T07:07:00.001-04:00

The Exact Time of RP's Demise

2007-08-15T10:34:00.000-04:00

I checked my Dream Email account and here's the message I received denoting the exact time of the collapse of RP. Until then, a host of recent Heavenly Travelers (including Aeneas, Lax, Grandmother, Drazisil, Tol-wernan, and Suzetta) kept materializing through the elemental gates. Both my zombies Farseer and an originality passed away right before this message:

At 1:35 AM, GKST (GMT), August, 14, 2007:

The world around you collapses into nothingness...

After the Storm

2007-08-15T07:47:00.000-04:00

I attempted to enter Chaos this morning and was greeted with nothingness... total void... black all around. And I am now an "unconscious soul." I await my re-awakening.

The Time Governor must still be working.. and another static quote informs me:

...the immeasurable meaning of his black eyes. --Walt Whitman

11:48

The envious waves forbid the trace to stay. --Anna Seward
12:25

A wandering madman was seeking the touchstone, with matted locks, tawny and dust-laden, and body worn to a shadow, his lips tight-pressed. --Rabindranath Tagore

14:31

Where there is sorrow, there is holy ground. --Oscar Wilde
15:46

Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom. --Michel de Montaigne
17:00

Waiting, lonely and sightless, mere paper limning their souls from that colorless aching desert of nescience.
18:53
(This one is interesting in that it doesn't have an attributed author.)

Waiting, lonely and sightless, mere paper limning their souls from that colorless aching desert of nescience.
19:01
(It's a minute passed the hour... and this quote remains...)

As I came through the desert: All was black, in heaven no single star. --James Thomson
21:10

Waiting, lonely and sightless, mere paper limning their souls from that colorless aching desert of nescience.
22:04
(again!)

When the water rises, hurry to get some. --Thai Proverb
23:12

Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom. --Michel de Montaigne
0:05

The birds, in the endless waterfalls of the trees, shook open the snowy pleats of their wings, and drifted away. --Mary Oliver

So... just want to capture some of the beauty of Chaos before it ALL went...
The weird thing is that neither Inquisword nor Nightstaker died but their forums are either abandoned or disappeared.

I'll keep updating the progress of the end of the world in this same post:

Vile storms ...

Synopsis:

La-newa converted hamlet, forgot to set peaceful, Shzuru died. Vile storm message.

JWR's forum goes abandoned, and then disappears about 3-4 minutes later.

Shzuru says "only have a few hours." Or something like that.

(Tol-wernan, 10 minutes ago) Planets Might want to track somehow planets that are disappearing?
	(La-newa, 10 minutes ago) Forums become abandoned, then disappear regardless of their strength. We should be able to know when Black Grotto or wherever disappears, when this forum vanishes.
		(Tol-wernan, 5 minutes ago) Are all populated planets represented here in our nexii list? Might want to have updates kept by those that aren't so that once the updates cease we can realize that the people aren't able to post any longer. I suppose they can just come back through the gates though and update then as well though. :D add comment

	(Inquisword, 10 minutes ago) We can track them by people, if we know who was on which planet. As long as this forum is up, Black Grotto is still there. add comment

	(Temujin, 10 minutes ago) YM is still okay. 2:10 Come to think of it, I've only seen 1 hex drop in my sight since the vile storms. add comment

	(Inquisword, 3 minutes ago) I can cast "search" on any name that might be linked to a planet to see which ones are gone. Just need names. add comment

	(xiaomu, 2 minutes ago) RP still exists. I'm taking snapshots from the gate ring and posting them here: http:// xiaomugk.blogspot.com/ edit
		(Sproo, 1 minute ago) Blue Twin started falling extremely quickly. I've lost all my dreamwalkers there at this point, so I can't say what's left. 3 minutes ago I started getting reports of dreamwalkers on Rainbow Forest. My other escape planets seem unaffected as of yet. add comment

Vile Storms

2007-08-14T21:25:00.000-04:00

20 minutes ago...
Vile storms devour the sky and all life seems to drain from the earth....

This is the beginning of the end...

Shzuru died.
The planets probably will be torn apart by these storms very soon... life as we knew it for the past couple of years is no longer. See you all in Heaven. Let's have a party on the Rim, the Origin, or Greyness... I know Zefiel wants us to stay out of Tempolis. Shall we respect his wish?

This is my view of Rainbow Portal Gate Ring Area -- from the Earth Temple.
