They'd all laugh if you told them what you knew. The people who haven't seen the things you've seen. The gatherings in shadowed places, the miracles, the secret war that rages right under their noses over apparently meaningless trivia. And they never know a thing, because it's simpler that way. They don't need to worry about what it all means.
But still the secret war rages on.
No-one quite knows exactly how it happened, or, indeed what it was, but on the 12th of December, 2009, at approximately 1215 GMT, every fa/tg/uy in the world collapsed into a coma, lasting for 12 days. When they awoke, they were changed.
Something within them had been warped and altered. Personalities were twisted: old priorities of friendship, family, even love, were broken and replaced with fanatical devotion to nebulous ideas and concepts: 40k, D&D, furries, trolling, Lovecraft, WoD. Bodies were mutated into forms more befitting their new ideologies. And perhaps most terrifying of all, they exhibited strange mental powers related to their personal manias and obsessions.
At first, confusion reigned. Bizarre stories of nerds and geeks murdered in seemingly impossible ways cropped up in news stories around the world. Roleplaying groups split in bitter conflicts, entire societies raged in a bitter and disorganized civil war. Eventually though, one group attempted to impose some peace on the others. The Unified Setting, a tenuous amalgam of a multitude of apparently conflicting groups and ideas rose up, and declared a meeting to try and end the petty skirmishes around the world. |
