 Feel free to ignore this message, as I am about to do something that is called, I believe, "venting it out". I am aware I could merely write this out and then delete it without posting it, but if the people, person, or things behind our abduction are reading this, then I do want them to see this.

Now, it has been my theory that those who were brought here were chosen for a reason, be it their fighting prowess, magical talent, skills in farming, cooking, gardening, people with leadership potential, and so on and so forth. But with this recent batch of newcomers, this theory of mine has been shaken to the core, if not entirely dismantled.

Because what in the name of every sacred god in the realm could a small CHILD possibly be of use towards us and the restoration of the town? I don't care if her tears can cure diseases or she can summon demons with a snap of her fingers, there is no reason to tear a child from their parents and thrust them into the frightening arms of a stranger! This is cruelty beyond measure, and I will not stand for it! Mister F, or whoever decides these things, let this be my official declaration of war towards you!

Because if I should ever be in the presence of the psychotic madman who thinks their pathetic town is worth scarring a little girl for life, let it be known you shan't escape my wrath! I'll make you rue the day you ever laid eyes upon us!

Pardon my language, but when we meet, I'M STICKING MY PARASOL UP WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE!!!

I had hoped to feel a little better after getting that all out, but it appears my rage is not so easily quelled. Suggestions are welcomed.

A kid? It's bad enough being here at 17!

[And because curiosity is going to kill him otherwise:]

What did you think my reason was?

[troubadamsel]

I never said it was a perfect theory.

[in other words, she couldn't think of his reason. sorry, dude.]

[asano_san]

You could have said I was a leader.

[troubadamsel]

[... oh honey.]

At least you're confident, that's a plus.

Most of this town consists of kids in my eyes. None of them should be here, worrying about what's going to happen and unable to have the chance to really be kids.

I'd offer something to help stave the anger, but I usually just cook, personally. Or find a feasible shooting range, but... I'm not sure either of those things would be your cup of tea.

If nothing else, we could try looking around the forest again. We might get lucky and have it yield answers to going home.

[troubadamsel]

I'm afraid if I cooked anything now, I might just burn it. Or destroy the cooking equipment, and we have so few.

But the forest might do, and I thank you for the offer.

Well said.

[ she doesn't really want to debate the reasons for why people are brought here. to her everything must serve a purpose, even the things that seem wildly out there. however, she also lacks trust in the higher beings of this realm who govern the methods in which people arrive. though she doesn't know the child in question, other children have been brought here too, and that doesn't sit well with her at all. ]

I hope they do read your message. I suspect they must be watching over this forum somehow, considering they bestowed it upon us.

[troubadamsel]

If they can and have, they had best tremble in fear. I do not forgive and forget so easily. Even if a rescue came tomorrow, I wouldn't go, not until the perpetrators were properly punished!

[withwisdom]

I fear any fool, be they mortal or higher, who crosses you.

What is this young girl's name you speak of? I can try to keep an eye on her too, though I'm sure plenty of others have elected themselves to do so as well.

[troubadamsel]

It took me a while to get her name, she's terribly frightened. I believe it was "Kisa", she was speaking so softly.

kind of sounds like you don't think kids can be useful here or that they can handle being here

[Sorry Maribelle, he has some Thoughts about kids being thrust into impossible situations.]

[troubadamsel]

That is hardly the point. There is a little girl, barely ten years old if I had to guess, and there is no great purpose for her being here. There can't be! It's cruel and abuse, plain and simple. She should be safe at home!

[hydrokinetics]

and you don't think the same applies to everybody else?
how do you know there's no great purpose for her being here? just curious

[troubadamsel]

You're "just curious" that I'm outraged about a child stripped from her parents because some washed-up village decided it needed her here more than she needed to be safe and comforted? I'm "just curious" why you don't have an issue with it!

I have a few ideas why the town might bring in children but they're not great.

[ it's the fae, maribelle. the fae. ]

Are you okay?

[troubadamsel]

I think I'd like to remain in blissful ignorance for just one day more.

[thanks bruce.]

No, I'm not okay. I won't be okay until everyone is where they belong.

Some children are tougher than you might think.

[troubadamsel]

Children shouldn't have to be tough, they should be playing games and enjoying their precious childhood! I know life is unfair, hence, as I've stated, RANTING.

[deathscyther]

Should have. Didn't. And yeah, it's really unfair but not even kids get what they want or need sometimes.

I get that you're probably trying to be sympathetic for this kid being stuck here but if you really want a suggestion I'd say look after them if you're so worried. Ranting isn't going to keep them protected.

[whereabout]

I don't disagree, but I also don't find it inconceivable that some children could be better off here than at home. Not that I'm assuming this is her case, of course.

[ Never ask Joshua about his childhood. ]

Not that I'm assuming this is her case, of course - but there will be a lot of people willing to help her and keep an eye out, knowing the group we have here. It's not a great situation, but we'll have to do what we can with it.

[troubadamsel]

Of course I know that. I'm just aggravated at the unfairness of it all. Since I can't fix it, yelling is the best I can do.

[whereabout]

Fair enough. It does mean you're probably going to hear things you already know a lot, though. Nobody really likes to come in just to say "yep, I can't do a thing about that."

I do think it's good for us to keep a sense of perspective about how much worse this could be, though.

oh man
you know if #FFFFFF ever does take on some kinda form we can actually see and touch, i will PAY to see you literally make good on that threat. the mental image is way too good not to become reality
seriously tho, i don't think any of us were dragged here for a logical reason that makes normal sense. for starters i wouldn't be here
and for another thing this place works on fairytale RPG logic. it's basically using us as magical curse-breaking crayons for its coloring book right??
so if every single one of us is somehow magically linked to a color and those colors getting magically mixed up by us doing stuff together is what's restoring the town, then maybe that's all it's looking for? people who somehow match up with those colors, i mean

(2/2)

[retrobeats]

also hey i just thought: is the little girl you're talking about ok?? i mean, she didn't get stuck rooming with someone who won't watch out for her right?

[troubadamsel]

What is a RPG?

But in regards to your more important inquiry, she is home with a dependable caretaker, so that's one less worry. As for if she's okay, that's debatable. Are any of us really "okay" here?
