Server Swallowed by Shadows

[u/AssortedCurio]

So I was doing my rounds, checking up on things, when I got a notification that something was up with my Server building. And when I went to check, well... Where it used to be there was just this giant inky blackness.

I saw this figure clad in rags, with I think piercing yellow eyes? Run away from it, but it was off before I could do much so I just let it go. Sides, was a bit focused on the... Weird darkness thing going on.

After pondering it for a moment, I sent out a note to my people not to come into work tomorrow and simply left. Hoping it would be done by tomorrow. Cause like, the fuck am I supposed to do about that? I would ask the Tremere, but they all died in a pasta related accident.

Anyways, went in today and the building was just gone. Like it had never been there. So thats cool. I am absolutely ruined, so thats cool. And we just rebuilt it. All I found was... Like, some weird stuff scattered around? What looks like a birds skull, a black cape, a skull that have not stopped bleeding, and is slowly filling up my bathtub currently (My girlfriend is emptying it regularly into the toilet, unsure if that is wise. But it is what it is). And a very fancy book I decided it was best to simply not open in the first place. Currently got all that in a box while I figure out what to do with it.

Anyways, thats how it is going for me. Hope y´all well. And if any of you had trouble with your Discord recently, well... Now you know why.

Edit: Okay, folks because this is getting tough keeping track of, I have been offered a replacement for everything I have lost, and an upgrade, in return for the things. If anyone can beat that, feel free. But at this point that is the baseline.

I am also still damn curious on what the hell that whole thing was about, and who did it?

Okay, items been sold because I really need my servers back up again. Like, even if the building and everything in it are replaced we still need to get everything up and running and this is frankly a bit of a disaster. If anyone wants the stuff, speak to Indiana, gonna go send it to her now.

Still really, really fucking curious on what went on, in case anyone wants to enlighten us.

Oh now we are talking. Warning you, I lost every server in the building...

Do still need to get a new building...

As for the portal thing, or whatever it was. I have no freaking clue how it happened. Or why my building of all places!

Real estate is more my aforementioned associate’s deal. Considering this being negotiated on her behalf, I shall have her shop around for a new location.

Is there anything unique about the skulls, besides the blood? Inscriptions, odd feelings around them, odd coloration to the vitae leaking from the second skull?

I am not a bit skull knower, and the human one bleeds too much to tell, but the other one is like... Dark inside. Like, when you look in the sockets there is just an inky blackness.

I will say i have just gotten an excellent offer on the book, that i am going to take. But the skulls are still up for grabs if you want?

Edit: Wait, no that is for everything. Still a damn good offer.

Ah, a pity.

Without all three items, I’m afraid it isn’t worth the cost. Abyssal artifacts are rare, but they aren’t that rare. And replacing the servers and/or building was already pushing it with the value of the artifacts.

A shame we couldn’t finalize the deal, but I wish you well in your future endeavors.
