oh yeah heads up
ive heard from certain people who committed this themselves and
apparently if you kill someone here
you get your memories wiped of the incident altogether
not sure why they'd go out of their way to do that here but they do this sort of thing where im from all the time so im very used to seeing it
probably can't say the same for other people from other worlds so you guys have to educate me on that

so uhh
im not saying you should or shouldn't kill altogether
im not your mom
but just keep that in mind the next time you got some kinda murderous urge or something
the reason why im anonymous right now is bc i don't wanna reveal who did that in the first place
it might lead to some awkward icebreakers on their part
also i wouldn't lie about something like this if anyone's wondering bc i got no time to waste on leading people on

but this is probably the worst thing any newcomer would wanna see, huh
whoops
well... welcome to this city, i guess

Don't worry, anonymous; I'd give everyone a welcome soon enough with more panicked theorycrafting, so you're really just beating me to the punch.

Gotta say I'm a little disappointed that there's already been some killing.


[Especially if this is someone from the City, which he's assuming with that comment about memory erasure being common and the way Kromer's down there being the redditor of the year, bless her thigh high booties.]

Had to happen sooner or later. At least now we definitely know we're being watched and judged on a baseline of human morality.

do we?

a baseline of human morality where human beings are allowed to kill other human beings with impunity and without any pretense of regret is called war

[personal profile] blattella 2023-07-13 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, if we're really going to get into that territory, I'd say that us being here without consent is pretty damn unethical too.

This isn't war. Don't you talk to me about war.

[Brother, who wants to relive war? C'mon now, up that repertoire! You can do it!]

Thanks. I'm not saying any of this is good, for the record. It shouldn't have happened. Look at the ghoulish way the 'victim' is talking about it. None of this is good.

It just doesn't seem like this place has much it can do to punish us, bar the cuffs, and apparently sucking out our memories piece by piece. Which is pretty big, I think, but not in the corporal sense.

[ moving on??? no that sounds fake ]

then it isn't interested in the corporeal.

[personal profile] blattella 2023-07-13 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we're more likely to be obedient if we end up with something impossible to regain on the line. Cuffs are to spook the easily-spooked. Memories, though? That's big. That's the real axe.

It's leveraging something we can't afford to bet the whole house on without losing ourselves, and if we do, then the City still wins.

then it miscalculated.

those values are not universal.

[personal profile] blattella 2023-07-13 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
True. But it's an almost, with humans. Or those close enough to humanity. Most folks find the concept of losing themselves altogether to be a horrifying one.

Not you? It's alright if you don't want to answer, it's none of my business.

They'll find another way to punish you in time, then. Probably. Not wishing it upon you, but these things have a way of happening.

i'm not like you.

What?

Okay! That's a good thing, congrats.

[Just when he was getting to like, +10 or something.....man, way to tell him about his nephewboy's crimes!]

Yeah I know, but I was still holding out hope. Though if it's the scene I think it is, then I'm not surprised at all.

But I'm still disappointed. This better not start a chain reaction. I'm not having that. Why can't we all be the one example of people not going into murder overdrive when left with only one agitator and little to do??

[personal profile] blattella 2023-07-13 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
I think you could've worded this a hell of a lot better, or blocked certain people from responding.

That's what I think. But it's


what's that saying

that's that and this is this, right?


[He thinks it's someone from the City, at least, and if it's not Don, if it's not Sinclair himself, it's Roland (because Greg hasn't confirmed Gebura's a City lass sorry to the Red Mist he's trash). And man, either way he's still grumpy. In general, mind; with being kept out of the loop, with the fact that this happened at all even after he told Sinclair to keep his fucking nose clean, and with how this is going to make Kromer look good.]

Now we just wait and see what happens with this information.
