ENTRY #4: Merry Atysmas! (in 3 different dialects)
A Kara, a Kami and a Marauder walk into a bar together and ask for a round of shooki beer. The barman looks at them and aks, "What is this - some kind of joke?"
And so it is that while Kamis and Karas drinking together may seem like a joke to some, the spirit of Atysmas is filling the hearts of many homins with joy and warmth. Here we can see how homins and kinchers alike came together to share stories and drinks by the campfire:
And while Atysmas events unfold across Atys, a groundbreaking revelation has shocked homins everywhere. Ever since the Second Great Swarming, there have been several complaints about conflicting memories and no one understood very well how homins began to speak different dialects after only a few years in refuge.
The various governments were befuddled by the situation. Some homins remember the Matis attacking and burning Thesos, while others swore that event never happened and was avoided by diplomacy. Nation leaders were thought to be either alive or dead, depending on whom you asked. Confusion abounded.
No one understood what was happening, until the Karavan decided to intervene and provide an explanation to us all. According to them, there exists something called "parallel universes". These are like stains of different colors flowing in the grand river of time. In each one of these stains or parallel universes, homins spoke a different dialect and the same events happened in slightly different ways.
If you think the karavan scientists have been smoking too much cratcha buds, that's probably because they have! The story gets stranger yet. Apparently we can blame none other than Elias Tryton for causing three of these parallel universes to crash into each other, merge and create this mess that we see today.
As the story goes, the sassy Elias Tryton is resposible for seducing Jena and winning her heart, only to get bored and dump her soon afterwards. But Jena is not a techno goddess to be trifled with. She sent the Karavan to chase after Elias and the goody two-shoes was forced to go into hiding. And that was that.
Except that Elias must have stolen some sort of information about Karavan teleportation on his way out, because his rainbow portals apparently attempt to mimic Kami and Karavan teleportation but fall short. The rainbow portals are not as sophisticated as Karavan teleportation, they do not have the same insight into the workings of the universe or some such. And it was the excessive use of Tryton's flawed portals at the end of the second great swarming and the exodus that caused a huge energy malfunction of some kind on the various parallel Atys, sending them all down the drain to merge together into this one lovely and friendly Atys we now know. Grats, Elias!
And here we are now. Celebrating one more Atysmas as single, lovely living planet!
Enjoy your baked yubo dinner and merry Atysmas!
