USER: #DC143C - QUESTION FOR EVERYONE

[lonered]

[ USER: #DC143C ]

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.



[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]

So we find out However the hell we do that.

If we could find who brought us here, that'd be a start.

[lonered]

Not enough information yet. So that's what we're up against. Finding more information.

But, for what it's worth, I'm leaning to this not being any sort of afterlife.

So now I can go back to being pissed off at whoever brought us all here.

[lonered]

Those all sounds really normal conversations.
Boring, but normal.

Whoa. I'm not asking for autopsy results.

You're right in that being a little too intense for casual conversation.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Are we sure it's a "who"?

There's been no one else in this town besides those of us who fell in the well. No one I could smell, anyway.

[lonered]

It's not like I'm going to forget this conversation though, right?

It's in writing even.

[lonered]

I'm not buying into this being some sort of cosmic accident affecting so many people from so many different places all at once.

Someone or something, if you'd rather, brought us here. But there's intent behind it. I'm sure of that.

And what happened to the people who used to live here? It is empty, and there's no sign of the former residents. What happened to them could be connected to why we're here.

[crowsigliere]

And how exactly do you intend to do that? To sound so sure of yourself, you must have some sort of idea at the ready.

It seems terribly selfish to decide to play the hero, given that when you inevitably fail, it will be the rest of us left disappointed.

[lonered]

I don't know yet. But I'm not going to sit back and just hope something comes along.

There's not much in life that comes with a guarantee that it won't fail. I'm going to act and fight, for myself. Even if it fails.

If someone winds up disappointed in that, I don't know what to tell you. Honestly it sounds like pretentious "above this all" crap. If you're content to hang around and let things happen, fine. That's your decision. I'm not, and that's mine.

[crowsigliere]

You sound almost eerily like someone I know.

Regardless, do as you will. I trust I'll be fine to leave the dirty work to you hero types.

[messianic]

In that case... let's hope you're alive.

[Doesn't that seem like the best possible outcome?]

Since the possibility exists here.

[lonered]

Yeah. That's probably the better assumption to go under. It does make things feel clearer.

[Though if Keith is alive, so far as he knows, that just means he's got a minute or two of life left waiting for him. But hey, that's still something.]

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Something like this doesn't just happen for no reason, whatever the case is.

We're bound to find something if we keep looking around.

[lonered]

Yeah, don't worry about it. Sounds like you've got your own path to take. Good luck with that.

[lonered]

Exactly.

I agree. We have to find something, and we can't give up until we do.

[parodeity]

man are they
i dont know the only talks i ever had about like politics were my sister going
hey
hey dave
do you think obama will fix the economy
and then we never even got to see if that was a thing bc the world ended
so im just going off the things that stop dinner in like movies
like son how DARE you bring up this topic
think of your poor sweet nannas heart
etc

i guess intensity of casual conversation depends on the scenario
like
what youre comfortable with

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

You know, the fact we have these devices to begin with is a bit strange.

[ The word you're looking for is "computers", Caramia. ]

With our names and stuff on them as is. Is there anyway to see where these came from?

Regardless, if we find out anything, these seem to be the best way of letting everyone know, so I'll definitely keep you posted.

[lonered]

Yeah those sound awful. So hard pass on those.

Yeah, I guess it does. And who is involved. I suppose I'm not the best person to ask about that. I'm on my own more often than not. Not a lot of conversation.

[lonered]

It is. Someone left them for us.

As for where they came from, someone better at computers than me might be able to get some information off them, or off the network.

And I'm all for sharing information. But. The thing is. Whoever left these for us, whoever brought us here in the first place, we have to assume they're listening/reading/whatever to everything we say over this network.

They can do that...?

[ Computers are wild, fam. ]

Well, they had to give it to use for a reason. Maybe they needed our help?

[satanslash]

no weirder than waking up in a well honestly i mean ask me that a week ago id probably be worried but now anyway last i checked i was alive? unless something happened that i don't remember then again i'm really hard to kill

[parodeity]

well
thats kind of sad but i can actually relate
for a while there i was most of my conversation partners
like i just talked to myself
a lot
clearly you should talk to me so we both sound less ridiculous

[dreidels]

What makes you think it's not an afterlife? I prefer that idea, anyway; I'm only ten. I can't die yet.

[Nevermind he's almost died...a lot. Joys of a weak immune system.]

Somehow or another we have to find out who did this. I've got to give them a piece of my mind.

Re: #DF0000

[lonered]

[Wow. Okay. This one... this one takes him a minute.]

Is your keyboard broken?

But uh... different than you predicted. What do you mean predicted?

And yeah, maybe. I'm not sure. Depends on the timing.

[lonered]

Yeah. Guess we're starting with a baseline level of messed up already.

Yeah, most people think they're alive. Which is great, really. Kind of what I was hoping to hear.

What do you mean hard to kill?
