[AMA] I’m a Liminal Consultant

Endless_SerpentsEndless_Serpents Registered User regular
Hello, sometimes I am called Brom Prettanike and I am the leading liminal consultant in my area. I am thirty-two years old and will be again. I am self employed and buried two of my teeth in Antarctica, just in case. I do not own the cat that is waiting for me in my garden.

Ask me anything.

    I regret to inform you that art is a lie. I am pleased to inform you that butts are good!

    Lying is an art though. It’s all rather circular.

    I think you're lying.

    What is a liminal consultant, and why he gotta make the coolest threads?

    I’m glad you asked, because asking questions is the purpose of this thread.

    As a liminal consultant I mediate between the frequencies of realities.

    Throughout history humanity and various entities and ambients have come into conflict; with ‘monster hunters’ and various controlling organisations being our primary method of interacting with ‘the supernatural’, to violent ends.

    Instead, I take an unbiased approach, doing my best to leave things strange without lasting harm to any parties involved. I do not work solely for human clients, which is rare in my line of work.

    Is light a wave or a particle and why does it have to be so dang coquettish when we try to find out?

    Also what dimension are dogs from and are they mad over there that we have them now since we clearly don't deserve them?

    Exactly. You’ve participated in this thread. Thank you for your time.

    The pay is per client per job, but I make around £30000 a year, plus small gnarled twig effigies and terrible, terrible dreams and portents.

    Travel is excellent, that’s the main benefit. There are innumerable soft places (especially in my country) which allow me to enter doors that are not there and traverse spaces through particular trees to reach places that don’t exist etc.

    I have stocks in a small toy shop that can only be found once in your life. It has been something of a loss overall.

    Light exists in all frequencies of realities so you’re not actually seeing it all at once. The thing that it is has a name but I cannot type it or indeed, speak it, as part of this whole job confidentiality thing. You know how it is.

    Dogs are from here and two realities north and south. Dog-like entities are pretty common actually, more or less; the ones with hands are… not ideal.

    Are ghosts incorporeal, corporeal, or do they somehow have control of their corporeality?

    And, also, if ghosts get horny do they just fuck other ghosts? Or do they prefer warm humans?

    Incorporeal is a decent approximation, but first we much separate the designation.

    Spectres are echoes of memories that becomes trapped between the frequencies of realities. They play out a point in time over and over, rarely touching a reality proper.

    Phantasms are a type of entity that naturally inhabit these gaps, are more terrifying to behold, and can have a broad effect upon their immediate surrounds (e.g, a temperature drop).

    In either case, they are not acting with anything like the impulses of a living human.

    How can I leave this reality?

    You are intrinsically bound to this reality. A solid 99% of your matter will be from this reality at any given time.

    Potentially you could make contact with a Goblin Market, partake in the goblin fruit and so join them in their nightly migration. Becoming a goblin is not an easy fix for your problems.

    Far better is to meditate, live a simple yet rewarding life (but take even moderation in moderation) and learn the Dark Arts, so you can astral project into other realities on weekends.

    In literally all of your body. Not the heart, the head or gut; all of whatever you’ve got. Read books, do push ups, go outside, sleep well and have plenty of orgasms.

    Why haven't I discovered any spooky things despite looking for them constantly?

    Are the ghosts taunting me by refusing to appear?

    As you can see I like to keep things tiny. I find it’s more conductive to my work.

    Give the sheer volume of spooky things per square mile, mathematically we reduce the result down to you. You must be the spooky thing. Do not be alarmed! It’s fine. Being spooky is no more fatal than anything else.

    No. There are simply so many ghosts that as a species humans have evolved not to perceive them, as otherwise you would perceive nothing else.

    There are at least seventy ghosts within 1mm of you at any given time. Often they are occupying the same space as you, and each other.

    Only a rare few phase into ordinary visibility, rarer still are those that interact with your current reality.

    I am somehow both relieved and more anxious, at the same time.

    It seems this role is enjoying a surge of popularity in fiction.
    In particular, I know the Dresden Files about a human "wizard" who deals with a number of inter-reality organisms and organizations ostensibly while protecting the Earth, and in particular Chicago, from their interests.
    There are also the Laundry Files, about a British computer hobbyist who accidentally programmed an algorithm that, had it been executed, could have opened a portal between Earth and one of the nastier parallel realities, "landscaping Wolverhampton with alien nightmares".

    How accurate do you find these works of fiction to be to your own work, or the work of the other, less unbiased interactions.?

    Like all fiction, there’s the ‘James Bond’ effect—only the cool bits make it in. Which, you know, that’s a good thing in your entertainment! There’s significantly more paperwork involved, plus you’ve got to be a decent interpreter when you’re working with inhuman entities from beyond our mortal kenning etc.

    Also they never wear strappings on their left leg to ward off devolving into the beast all humans truly are, nor do the protagonists carry industrial grade earplugs or carry lavender, as anyone who knows anything does.

    Or I can just send you some tips if you’d like to try it yourself but you might die, or never die, even as your remains turn to dust. Thank you for asking about it.

    Super long all night dream that the world went all Gunslinger, and became sort of unbound, time and physics was broken, the most reliable technology was like late 1800s/early 1900s stuff, there were no more seasons, huge areas of land or groups of people would regularly just vanish or reappear somewhere else. Things were more stable at the new bottom and top of the world, which was just kinda like anchor points past which you couldn't go any further, but sometimes things would still come out of, and all along the remaining stretch of the world things changed and shifted.

    The night after posting this I had a dream that my partner and I had carved out a little homestead on a piece of stable land, but reality still wasn't stable. I went out in the evening to make sure out little plot hadn't unraveled, and I was at a fence not too far from the home, watching a storm roll in. A couple of large mildly aggravated animals wandered in from up in the brush fields, I was knelt down behind the fence hoping they'd pass by, but the storm had reached us. Lightning struck down right between the two strange dream animals, burnt them down, reformed into a solid shape kinda like I guess a bull and ripped off through the fence, knocking me solidly on my ass.

    Yeah, that’ll happen. Mhm. Yup.

    I am looking for a new job and already live at all times with these possibilities.

    Can I turn in my application to the raven with the face of my father or do you prefer email?
