It seems that several of us have already located the keys to "our" personal safety deposit boxes, and found items of a very personal nature contained therein. Likewise many of you may also have discovered that these objects carry a curse most peculiar, which compels the person who recognizes them to speak of the circumstances surrounding these objects which weigh most heavily on their memory.

This one would like to take this time to remind everyone that we exist now in a new world, subject to no laws but those we make ourselves. It strikes this one as nonsensical to persecute each other for things we may or may not have done elsewhere, especially when those with shameful memories may struggle to convey the full context which lay behind their remembered actions. This is said not to justify or apologize for the crimes some of us may have committed in another world, but simply to promote harmony in this one. We have no allies here but each other; shall we allow our mysterious captors to turn us against each other so easily?

[ Well, shit, star.lord up there stole what he wanted to say.

But: ] are you really gonna trust anyone who shows up here just because we got trapped together

[xiaoxiuya]

At least as far as I would trust any random person I passed in the street of a large city, and quite a bit more if I think it may improve our shared circumstances.

And why shouldn't I? As you said, we're all trapped here together.

people dont do whats in their best interest even without being kidnapped to an empty city. getting caged makes people do stupid stuff. some dont need an excuse

idk. feels like theres too many of us with different backgrounds to really trust or think were gonna work together

[xiaoxiuya]

Then those of us with better self-control and more rational minds must set a good example.

You do have self-control, don't you sir?

[strongroots]

didnt you admit to sending someone to a fate worse than death

[xiaoxiuya]

I also said that I did that under duress, you may recall. Also, it's rude to stalk other people's threads. [He said, like a hypocrite.]

[strongroots]

didnt. its the first couple of comments

but its ok. reading others comments will allow a better understanding of the different people and their circumstances if you think about it. maybe i should go and read some more

[xiaoxiuya]

[How dare you out-argue him on his own post, do you have any idea how rude that is]

Well then. Perhaps you should.

[strongroots]

[ but it's so fun op ]

before i do, would you like the opportunity to tell your story to me yourself, sir

[xiaoxiuya]

I hope you step on a thumb tack. Barefoot.

[How's that for a curse?]

I betrayed my own favorite disciple and pushed him off a cliff into a hell dimension, where he spent the next three years constantly struggling for his life against an array of deadly monsters and deadlier environmental hazards until he discovered a cursed sword which granted him the ability to escape the Abyss while also parasitizing his mind and soul and driving him to the brink of insanity. I knew this would happen ahead of time, in even more exhaustive detail than the curse can compel me to share, and did it anyway in order to protect my own life. Happy?

[strongroots]

[ Well.

That's awkward. ]

is the city still making you talk about personal stuff or is this a plot to a movie

[xiaoxiuya]

If it were a movie, I'd want my money back.

[Actually he still does, but at least the curse can't compel him to tell people he transmigrated into a shitty book. That'd be just too much.]

[strongroots]

well. your life is too weird for me to judge even if i wanted to

and i wasnt actually going to go back and read anything anyway

[xiaoxiuya]

Hmph. I could have told you that four or five posts ago.
