Also try searching for less hostile cosmic entities in general if you get the chance.

I think we should turn back to 482 and say hi to the eye, it might have some helpful advice.

Let's not. We're dealing with two Eldritch beings already, don't need to add a third.

I second the Andrew Hussie LinkedIn hunt. Also, we should Perform the ritual after checking the screensaver.

What? Go back to that page? No, that sounds like a great idea. Why wouldn't you do that?

I almost don't want to do this, but turn over the keyboard.


Oh.

Well, this is certainly unique hardware. You couldn't even begin to guess what any of these buttons do, but mashing all of them to find out doesn't sound like the best idea. Finding someone or something that could teach you some Forbidden Keyboard Shortcuts would be useful, but that Bureaucrat guy doesn't seem to have come back yet.

Check the screen saver. Nobody wants to fall for the "Error-Message Screensaver" gag...


Looks like you did fall for it. Someone set up an illusion spell through the screensaver menu, but your Free and Open Source Penguin Friend managed to help you break out of it earlier. Now that you think of it, the illusion spell might have confused the Tux Daemon briefly, meaning it only recently found the real Windows registry. That buys you a bit of time in figuring out how to cast the spell that was suggested to you! On second thought, the spell on page 482 was more interesting.

Check the screen saver. Nobody wants to fall for the "Error-Message Screensaver" gag...

And, uhh, can we think of a way to search for "Qalzsx'wa The Engorged" without the abyss staring back? Maybe we could try a proxy of some sort... Also check for Andrew Hussie.

Hieronet LinkedIn of course.

Good idea.


Okay, this guy has a LOT of business contacts. Could that be the same company that he worked for in '98? That seems like a long time to be at the same company, especially in tech. But... you're not sure time works the same way wherever "there" is.

Perform the ritual
Also we should find some desktop images that correspond to the spell.

Yeah, you should probably find some images to satisfy the spell requirements. But which ones to use?

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Let's just try to perform the Nigredo by changing the background to all-black, and see what that does in the Aura Monitor.

Indeed. Disable desktop image, turn on desktop color, and use the custom color picker menu to enter hard RGB values.

You can set the desktop to be any color you want without hunting for images.



See that little button to the right of where it says "desktop" ?  It brings up the color picker window.




See in the lower right, where you can directly key in values?  We can set the desktop picture to 100% pure colors effortlessly.

I am sure that will work perfectly.

But is the aura monitor looking at colors or at the effect of the content of the background.

We don't really know I guess.  Might as well experiment with colors.

+1 to seeing what aura moniter says, but one we try all black, should we do yellow/blue/green/purple/red in that order? That's the colour of the auras on the aura moniter,
so we've got nothing to lose.

If the "literally just colour" concept is right, black should be followed by white, then yellow, then red.
