no subject
but whatever this is... that ai asked us for help, didn't she? so destroying her could not only kill us all, but her, too. doesn't seem like the right thing to do. and anyway, if there's an equal chance of going home and getting snuffed out of existence, forever... well. not a gamble i'm willing to make.
no subject
we don't owe her anything. we didn't ask to come here, we never got a choice. just because your kidnapper's polite and lets you play around in their house instead of tying you up in the basement doesn't mean you help her lock the door behind you.
i'm with you on not being a gambler tho. we need more info.
no subject
no, we don't, you're right.
[ but he has complicated feelings about this whole thing, starting with not being even half as mad as most people seem to be about being stuck here, which doesn't seem like the smart thing to bring up. so he won't! ]
that's the crux of things, innit? we need info, and there's none
no subject
thing is, getting info always comes with risks. this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the gaps in the system, but we might wind up breaking something along he way.
no subject
you didn't miss much though it's all the levels of hell and shit
no simulation level though
yeah, guess you're right about that. just hope that whatever we break isn't us
no subject
nah, give me the deets on the levels anyway. should be prepared in case i'm ever headed there one day
kinda seems like we're all breaking down already. last week, i turned into a half spider half poodle monstrosity. im not gonna say it can't get any worse than that because i dare not tempt the irony gods, but like also...pretty damn gross.
no subject
oh, well, uh. you start from limbo, and then from there it's lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. and then i'm pretty sure lucifer's below that or something.
wait, you what? jesus fuck. that sounds horrifying, no offense
no subject
fraud, really?? seems a lil tame compared to all the others. can you just party down in the lust and gluttony layers?
hey, i'd be more offended if you WEREN'T horrified by a poodle with eight legs and eight eyes shooting web out its butt. not to mention the smell.
no subject
anyway, i'm pretty happy as a detective, now. besides, not like there's a cricket league for ghosts
and no, no you can't. trust me, you don't wanna know the details.
and speaking of details, i'm pretty sure i also don't wanna know more of the poodle spider chimera hybrid, jesus.
