anon text ➡ not a shitpost this time

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?

I'm assuming that you'd want to lead?

Just saying man, you kind of lose your impact when you say all this anonymously.

[geass]

Not necessarily. If there's someone competent around, why shouldn't they instead?

[lol]

Giving the nature of some of your fellow Chosen responses, it's better to be anonymous.

[laserguy]

Sounds like you're afraid of them now.

[geass]

Oh, not afraid exactly. Wary would be a better word. I'd rather not run into someone who would be so aggressive about asking some questions in person.

[laserguy]

[. . .]

So you're saying that you'd get your ass kicked in person.

[geass]

I'm saying that I don't exactly want to be in the middle of a physical altercation right now. I have ways to defend myself.

[and he'd rather not use his Geass on someone just to make them stop punching him-]

[laserguy]

Right.

So, what are you going to do? It sounds like you didn't get the reactions you wanted.

[geass]

It wasn't entirely unexpected. It just means that I'll have to take it into account when I actually do start to make any sort of moves.

[laserguy]

Good luck, I guess.

I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing Jerry getting his ass kicked somehow. I'm assuming you're going to develop some plan that's not just bum-rushing him.

[geass]

I've already heard of what happens when you try to "bum-rush" him. It'll have to be more subtle than that until the time comes to execute the plan.

But the people who are being more headstrong can keep being that way -- if nothing else, I might find something else out while they're doing it.

[laserguy]

Yeah, I can see you now. Taking notes from behind a bush as you watch people get walled.

[geass]

It's better than being in the fray for myself.

[laserguy]

[. . .]

Wow you suck.

[geass]

You may think of me as you will. I do what it takes to stay in one piece.

[laserguy]

You know, most people that say stuff like that ends up dying in the end anyway.

[He's seen a bunch of movies as evidence.]

[geass]

Oh, I'll die in the end. But I won't die before I allow myself to.

[im WHEEZING]

[laserguy]

[man, what the fuck. this isn't as fun if the guy's actually okay with dying. he's supposed to be all mad at being called out gOD!!]

Death kind of happens even when we don't want it to.

[when did he become like this?? guess he'll blame kotone--]

[geass]

[lmAO scott didn't recognize how morbid Lelouch was huh...]

I understand that. But sometimes you can predict your own death.

[laserguy]

[GROANS don't tell him.]

Don't tell me, you're already dead back home.

Please just tell me that you pissed off a bunch of people instead and so you're just predicting that one of them will kill you.

[geass]

No, but it is planned in my future. And it does happen, as I've been told.

I have made many people angry, though. I just happen to know which one it'll be that kills me.

[laserguy]

[His capacity for dealing with people that are dead back home is at its limit. New customers please take a number--

He's not sure what is worse, knowing that you're dead, or that you will die at some point, and probably soon??]

You sound pretty accepting about this.

Hey wait, someone here told you that you're going to die in the future? That's messed up.

[geass]

[it's a good thing that Scott can't see Lelouch's face for a hot second, because how dare he call ANYTHING Nunnally says messed up...!! she's perfect, 10/10, no notes, the most angelic person to ever grace the universe with her presence--]

It came up after I was reunited with someone from home. She was surprised to see me here... because she came from my future.

It's what I've expected to happen since the beginning.

[laserguy]

[He came here to poke fun of someone and have a good time and he's feeling so attacked right now, dealing with more sad shit from dead people.]

...That sucks. I'm sorry.

Like even if you expected to die, it's still hard leaving people behind. I mean, unless you're a friendless asshole.

[STILL UP IN THE AIR ABOUT THAT.]

[geass]

[LMFAO

and oh, doesn't he know it. leaving Nunnally... was probably going to be the hardest thing he'd ever have to do.

he swerves to something else, then.]

If you ask some of the others that're talking to me here, I must be a friendless asshole.

[laserguy]

Yeah, you came in swinging with a great first impression.
