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.
