-don't be afraid to use blocklists!
-the pallid mask rots.

You'll understand if we continue to keep an eye on you just to be on the safe side.

The result of now-discredited social engineering on the part of early to mid-century NWO operatives. The mysticism is window dressing so that it all goes down more easily with the Masses. Infamous as a place for them to perform seriously fucked-up mind control and psychological torture experiments.

Or it's all myths with different agendas attached to them. But at least yours touches on some likely truths, even if they are dressed up in further fantasy stories.

🥀The Caine myth is a construct erected by a stagnating patriarchal society of undead. Caine is not complex. He’s a prehistoric dude who got confused and caved in his brother’s head with a rock. End of story. He didn’t challenge creation. He didn’t even see fucking Eden.

That's because they were awful. The original book was loosely based on a couple of people.

The consensus obviously isn't ready for the advanced science involved, but they'll get there eventually.

We don't approve of anyone promoting the belief in the supernatural in a manner that may affect the local consensus, regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic status.

Yes, but it's also true. Obviously we had to fiddle with the facts of the individual stories, but we managed to disprove scores of supposed "hauntings" and cover up many more, and then used the cartoon version to introduce skepticism of the supernatural to generations of easily influenced kiddos.

That was one of our greatest successes. The guy they based Fred on was one of my instructors in training. Cool guy, good sense of humor about the whole thing.

If you don't want to know what people are saying about you in private, then don't snoop around.

One vital part of the outreach that I do is learning the proper terminology for the various Traditions and Crafts. Here we see an important lesson regarding the Hollow Ones:

Take it up with the Iterators; my field days are done for now and I'm straight up office duty on The Feed, meaning that I'm not getting a cybernetic limb unless they start handing them out for RSI. NWO comes in under budget every quarter anyway afaik.

//We usually have "ah" or "a" sounds preceding "e" sounds in linked words, e.g. "lah-dee-dah," "ham and eggs," "mac and cheese." This isn't a hard and fast rule, but it is a phonic tendency.

The growth of the Eiffel Tower is due to normal expansion of the metal resulting from increased temperatures linked to climate change, and obviously has nothing to do with any missing person cases from the Paris metropolitan area, whether from the Catacombs or elsewhere. #WorldOfDarkness

Every once in a while a group of 10-15 tourists vanish without a trace in the Paris Catacombs and then afterward the Eiffel Tower is a few feet taller

The seeming growth of the Eiffel Tower is likely due to normal expansion of the metal resulting from increased temperatures linked to climate change, and obviously has nothing to do with any missing person cases from the Paris metropolitan area, whether from the Catacombs or elsewhere.

Lip Sync is a direct Syndicate project in the first place. It's a
promotional machine that costs barely more to produce than acquiring the necessary song rights, and churns out viral content featuring celebrities in projects currently in release. It paid for itself ten thousand times over.

The Syndicate will happily charge you a fee, so it stops living rent-free

Like, I think the words "rent-free" actually does psychic damage to Syndicate agents, so like, yeah, they'll help you out there

I'm not sure what peanut butter has to do with it.

A jar of Jif extra crunchy peanut butter.

And this had JUST stopped living rent-free in my head.

Oh, we thought you were talking about--you know what, never mind. It's fine. Go back to what you were doing.

It's not a bad look for him. Would have given him a more macho image, which would have been a hilarious contrast with his voice.
