anon text ➡ not a shitpost this time

[geass]

A question for the Chosen: why have you not banded together already? Some arrivals go back to almost a year, and yet you're still here. You're not without skill. There are summoners, magic users, and bomb makers in this city. Directed efforts could surely overpower our captors if there was direction.

Possibly there are those who want to stay here. Those who are dead in the world that they come from. But what of the ones who want to go home? What do they say? Are they just content to live their lives here while they have unfinished business at home?

It's possible that some of the lack of action is complacency. But others... may be a lack of leadership. Instead of waiting around for someone to save you, have you considered that you might be able to take charge of your situation? What holds you back? The Council? Jerry? That is one man, and an entity that we haven't seen thus far.

For now, it's food for thought. But I'd be interested to know who would actually be interested in leaving this place, instead of playing house in a world that dictates their actions. For those who may want to stay... what would life be like without the "Council" watching your every move?

hiya! my name is jinx. u might have heard of me, nice to meet u.
u sound pretty ticked that some of us want to stay here.
are u mad that no one wants u as our fearless leader?

[geass]

[oh he has heard of you. seen you too, but he's not going to mention that for obvious reasons.]

I'm not "ticked". Isn't it human nature that one would want to stay alive when they're dead in their own universe?

[opheliac]

not if the world is dark, cruel, and wicked.

[geass]

I'm sorry to say that that's how most worlds work.

[opheliac]

all worlds got spooky shadows. ure just too stupid to see it. but thats the fun part! when it sneaks up and eats u, i get to laugh.

[geass]

I've become a hunter of the shadows. They won't eat me until I allow them to.

[he's so edgy im crying]

[opheliac]

ill see it when i see it. i only know ONE hunter around here besides urs truly. and u aint him. not enough f-bombs. or bombs in general!!! 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[geass]

A good counterattack doesn't always need bombs. But they are useful when you're trying to make a statement.

oooooooooooooook, lets talk about something else. give me clues to who u are.

[geass]

[... no comment about that first message.]

Why would I do that? Anonymity is a way to conceal someone's identity.

[opheliac]

because being anonymous gets boring and we all like to have fun right?

[geass]

I find it quite fascinating. A mystery. I can't ruin it on my first appearance here.

[opheliac]

whatever u say, secret person. oh!! i guess i should burst ur bubble and let u know that "going home" is a sham.

[geass]

What makes you say that?

[he's not extremely surprised -- more or less curious.]

[opheliac]

rumor has it whenever someone "leaves" this joint, a new tombstone pops out of the ground.

[geass]

Interesting. And where would those tombstones be?

[opheliac]

ask for a girl named grets. she should know.

[geass]

[he doesn't remember seeing that name on any sort of list of people who were here... but who knows.]

Noted. Anything else you might be able to tell me?

[opheliac]

the wound is the place where light enters u.

[geass]

[. . . right.]

Noted again. Your help was very much appreciated.

[opheliac]

that is what i do here. i help, help, help, and help again!
