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?

What holds you back from giving revenge to those who brought you here?

[fieldtrip]

[ Okay, sure, she'll play.

Toph makes a doubtful noise. ] I'm not saying I wouldn't smack 'em if they showed their face in front of me, but what is that going to accomplish aside from making me feel better?

[geass]

[tfw these people don't understand the art of coercion and terrorism......]

You need to think further outside the box. You make them answer your questions and punish them for ripping you from your world without your permission.

[fieldtrip]

[ lol she needs to think further outside the box, huh? ]

I don't know, that sounds really inside the box to me. About as sophisticated as a little kid throwing a tantrum.

pretend i remembered my html for the last tag lmao

[geass]

And what would you do, then?

I did pretend!!!!

[fieldtrip]

You're really just out of ideas that aren't hit it until it goes away, huh?

[geass]

No, but I'm curious on how you'd handle it, since you seem knowledgeable.

[fieldtrip]

[ Toph almost chokes on a laugh, coughing a little to clear it. Does that work on people ??? ]

I'm pretty great, it's true, but the planet-hopping mumbo-jumbo is a little beyond me. I'd probably want to make sure I wasn't making a big mistake I couldn't take back just because I'm impatient.

[geass]

Mistakes happen, but it's not as if I'll be taking any action tomorrow. The purpose of this in the first place was to see what kind of interest I would get.

[fieldtrip]

How's that going? Is there any interest?

[ She's genuinely curious, and also not about to sit through the screen reader churning through all the text comments. ]

[geass]

Not exactly. But that's to be expected from an anonymous person on the network. I haven't even begin to do anything yet to qualify myself for any sort of movement.

[fieldtrip]

Yeah, I can't really take you seriously when you're anonymous, either. That's so weird.

[ Hi she has never been on the internet before. The concept of 'anonymous' is brand new. ]

I'm not against doing something, but I'm not gonna trust just anyone to tell me what to do.

[geass]

[a boomer...]

Understandable. I'll be making my presence known soon, I'm sure. But I was still curious on what kind of... emotions I would stir up with my words.

[fieldtrip]

Just tell me you're not gonna be dunderheaded enough to try to hit someone until you get answers.

[ please tell her that was a test to see if she's a complete idiot ]

[geass]

Oh, there's other ways to get answers outside of hitting people if needed. Don't worry.

[fieldtrip]

So you're just out here fishing to see if anyone bites?

[ Toph snorts. She can respect it even if she doesn't have any patience for it herself. ]

It sounds like you need a hobby.

[geass]

I do have a hobby. I also have a job. Perhaps I just like speaking to you all.

[fieldtrip]

If that's what it is, then you really need a different hobby. Pull the other one.

[geass]

It could be said that you also need a hobby for your speaking to me now. It's only productive in the way of being sociable.

[it's not meant to be a dig, just an observation.]

[fieldtrip]

[ Toph has thick enough skin that this rolls right off. Also, he's right. ]

You're telling me. A girl can only build so many houses before she needs something else to do. And the monsters around here put up about as much fight as a turtle-duck.

[geass]

Maybe I'll find you something to do. It might not be soon, but I'll keep you in mind.

Have you any notable abilities?

[he's gonna try... to see what she'll tell him.]

[fieldtrip]

Yeah, I'm the best earthbender who's ever lived.

You can ask me to do something, and maybe I'll consider it if you can ask nicely and with your real human voice.

[geass]

My real human voice? Maybe I will.

Earthbending sounds pretty powerful. Is that how you're able to build so many houses?

[she sounds young, so...]

[fieldtrip]

[ he just sounds so incredibly stupid by screen reader, ok ]

You tell me. I already know you're on a fishing trip, I'm not gonna make it that easy for you.

[ Toph knows she's powerful and great and all and she's not about to be duped that easily. ]

[geass]

I wouldn't want you to. Information isn't always as interesting to obtain if it's easy.
