yep! looks like the head honchos can control every lil aspect of ourselves.

[solitarysoul]

that's stupid. why would they even keep you from leaving town?

[opheliac]

yeah it IS stupid.

( she knows the reason, but she's keeping her mouth shut about that. )

[solitarysoul]

maybe they just want to show the power they have over us.

[Or she did something. She probably did something, though what would result in her being stuck in one city he doesn't know.]

[opheliac]

oh yeah there are because get this, they have the power to control our bodies.

[solitarysoul]

so they're basically gods.

great.

[He HATES gods.]

[opheliac]

pew pew bullseye.
and its complete bs.
i cant use my abilities AT ALL. so i guess if another monster shows up, im good as beast food.

[solitarysoul]

they did that to someone else right before that first octopus fight. that's a hell of a punishment, maybe they think if you die you won't do it again.

[People were supposed to come back here, but it seems weird to him.]

[opheliac]

durr, because ill be dead. how would i do it again?

[solitarysoul]

obviously.

i heard people come back from the dead here, though.

[Since he knows people who died (including him???) showed up here its not as far fetched as it should be.]

[opheliac]

wait what? seriously????
ure just joshing me right?

[solitarysoul]

i don't know. i'm not going to test it.

but if this place is some sort of hell of course they wouldn't let us off so fucking easily.

[opheliac]

( if it weren't for her current condition, she'd say something like," don't sweat it, bud. i'll test the hypothesis for you!". but just the thought of it is making her stomach coil itself as a threat to not act. so instead, jinx inhales through her nostrils and replies to the second half of his message. )

u know, its only this place thats hell. this continent is FILLED with other cities we havent scratched the surface on yet. and i bet the people and their way of living is far better than this dump.

ive been wanting to bail aldrag for months, but i keep getting stuck here.

[solitarysoul]

do you think the council still has as much power further away? maybe we should just all pack up and find somewhere else to live.

assuming you ever can.

[opheliac]

beats me. but i say if we no longer live here, they have no right over us. we're not THEIR chosen anymore, we're some other... town's chosen or whatever.

[solitarysoul]

i'm not moving to rumpitur, but there have to be other places. or maybe find chosen who can just make a new town.

[That'd be a lot of work, and he has no idea how either the manual labor or the logistics would work...but somebody else probably does.
Of course, if they stay here they do get easy access to food and clothing and stuff, so its probably not going to happen.]

[opheliac]

according to the map, theres a city beyond the mountains and another pass the desert.

[solitarysoul]

maybe a group of us should go check it out. i've done long marches before, but i don't think going alone in a world with monsters is a good idea.

[opheliac]

going alone might be dumb yea.
im game if u are. when i can get out anyway.

[solitarysoul]

maybe we can find a few more people to come. a group would be useful.

[Because monsters and also guard shifts or whatever.]

[opheliac]

look at us, working together! pops would be proud.

[solitarysoul]

[Oh, that's right, her father was that guy who helped him out. Its...probably best if he gets along with her if he wants to repay him. Or at least not piss her off, though the terrorist thing was enough for him not to poke the bear.]

uh...sure

[opheliac]

yaaay! i cant wait!!! 🐵🐵🐵🐵
