[ The way this guy writes is something else, but he's just going to ignore it right now. ]
That's exactly right. We are basically circling the proverbial toilet trying to understand their motives. And if "they" are real in the first place, that's what they want.
Honestly, I've never seen a phone like this before. But I don't think it is a peace offering. If anything, it is an easier way for them to monitor us.
[ sorry miller, this is how you get introduced to textbook eboy dialect. ]
right on bro. glad some1 here has common sense. b4 everything went 2 shit me n some dude were talkin abt how this was one big experiment. if it is that just means theyre switchin up variables and trying 2 figure out wat works. u feel?
and blowing up the city hall didnt work so like yeahhhhh. that jerry guys up my ass and everything. hes not even dead idk how u survive that but im jealous ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
gotta wonder if we're boned until they put us out of our misery or wut.
[ At some point he's going to have to ask when there's an acronym he doesn't get, but until then... ]
You've talked to Jerry? What did he say?
[ Since he is kind of their only in to the Council, he's really curious about that. ]
I heard something like that too. I think the theory about this all being simulated by them is starting to become more and more likely. We more or less saw it for ourselves. Everyone here had a completely different life just a few days ago and now that we remember another version of our lives, the whole world has shifted. Again apparently.
I wish I had even the smallest idea of how to make it stop.
[ there's... so much more to it than that, but that's the easiest way of summing it up. ]
ur telling me. i'm p. good at keeping track of whats real but fuck man they srsly got into my head. it feels like all of it rlly happened
if blowing up the closest thing they got 2 a command tower wont work, what will? all simulations r powered by something. mayb we just gotta figure out the energy source. or whoever the big guy at top is cause it sure as hell ain't jerry-berry
this is soooooo annoying i think im just gonna get wasted and play billiards or some shit idk. if u want in lmk at least there's stuff 2 actually do now.
[ Unfortunately there's no way to read tone in a text, but he asks that incredulously because he can't imagine this guy did anything to warrant it compared to the literal exploding of the city hall building. He's expecting the reason is probably not a very good one.
Anyway. ]
I know what you mean. Everyone is saying the memories of living here are the false ones, but it is still somewhat hard to accept. Compared to all the shit that's been coming back to me, it would be easier to believe I've been here all my life. But that wouldn't explain why this place changed completely overnight.
What the hell. I'll take you up on that. I think you're onto something with finding the energy source.
they just made some shit up it's not that bad dawg. there are murderers here 😠i can't be that bad c'mon
[ miller is not incorrect -- but hey, this seemed to be a glorified prison more than anything. they were all going down together. ]
the lives they gave us were easier that's 4 sure. that makes the fact that they took em way even crueler. have to wonder if they get a kick out of all of this. animals is animals. whether you let em live or kill em doesn't make a difference when ur conducting an experiment.
[ he's being remarkably normal right now, of course. ]
i srsly don't get it at all. there were FARMS here bro now we're in aldripolis. new aldrip. the hell.
thank u i'm glad SOME1 appreciates my big ol brains. even if this is a big simulation there's gotta be an input and an output. u can't deny the laws of the universe.
but HELL YESSSSSSSSS let's party. u better be ready for this cause i'm about to show u how to throw down. meet me at the bar with the big ol polar bear sign smack dab in the center of the city we are gonna get litttttttt.
So, an extremely uncharitable interpretation of something that happened back home. That sounds right. I haven't gotten anyone contacting me about it yet, but the accusation they'd written down for me was about the same. What a load of shit.
[ At least, what interpretation he might personally have of the "crime" was not for some magic fucking aliens to decide. ]
You are not the first to suggest it. I would agree, but the more I think about it, the more I must admit it is difficult to say how much personal autonomy is behind these decisions of theirs. Are they even people? Are they capable of thought? Or is their true identity simply that of a central hub of some artificial intelligence program?
[ Sha-Ming is being normal and Miller is going on a raging conspiracy theory... yeah, you know, regular stuff. ]
It feels like we are just going in circles trying to figure it out!
[ Or at least he is... So, yeah, he feels even less sure he should agree to this partying based on the response he got (how old is this person!?), but the stress relief is much needed. ]
Trust me, I have been to enough bars in my day. I should know the ropes by now. We can talk about this more then.
[ all very intelligent and reasonable discussion; he likes seeing him get a little angry too. yeah, let it all out miller! ]
you tell em boss. some of them feel like their attempts at toying around with people and messing with their heads. u have to wonder who the hell came up with this shit. not like jerbear's gonna answer that.
back home we got all kinds of things capable of making decisions. AI, aliens, congregations of human consciousness... shit's crazy. whatever it is i can't say it'll surprise me. but it still has to go down if it's gonna keep fucking with all of us like this. otherwise we're all trapped yeah?
but more importantly hell YEAH i meant now. unless u need to prepare. i'll spare u and say we can put a raincheck on it. we're gonna party like there's no tomorrow! u need me to pick out an outfit for u? cause i could sooo figure out what'll flatter u.
Yes, precisely, they're just having a big laugh about it as far as I can tell. I haven't had the privilege to speak with this Jerry myself yet...
[ The sarcasm behind that is pretty obvious even in a text message. ]
But it doesn't sound like he's been very useful to anyone else so far. Every time I bring up really grilling the guy, people throw their damn hands up like he's the boogeyman. As far as I can tell, that's the only in we have though.
[ And seriously, what is the worst thing that's going to happen from trying to fuck with Jerry? Things are bad enough as it is... and just take a look at that list! He might as well be confirming that anything is possible.
Anyway. ]
What are you, some kind of stylist?
That won't be necessary, but okay, good. Rain check it is. Try to stay out of trouble in the meantime.
