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.]

honestly? kinda glad. those things are creepy altens kinda sound like when demons possess humans i actually have pointed ears from when my powers got unsealed. and fangs. which were really hard to get used to. [Also Galra sort of remind him of Kuro for some reason? But he's not going to make a 'you sound like my cat' comparison when he's talking to... half of one? Something like that.]

[lonered]

Yeah. Agreed.

And huh. So your physical self actually changed? That's interesting.

I look completely human. But I can operate Galra technology, which means there's Galra blood in me for certain.

[satanslash]

yeah my brother looks completely human [And he's just casually not going to mention anything about the recent Satan possession because he honestly doesn't even know fully what's going on there, just that Yukio is in a lot of trouble back home.] i know a few demons who have vessels that have the ears and teeth and i think tails they hide? but they can also change between other forms pretty easily? me, i have to use a sword to get to the rest of my power i also know someone who has demon blood but its so far back in her family that she looks compeltely normal you dont know why you have it?

[lonered]

Huh. That's interesting.

[And then well, that question. Keith has theories at best right now.]

As best as I can figure, I think my mother was Galra. She left before I have any memory of her. And she's the one who left me the Galra blade I carry. My dad never mentioned the whole alien detail though, so I don't know for sure.

[satanslash]

oh huh its the opposite for me "dad" is-- actually is religion even a thing in your version of earth? [Weird veering off of the subject, but he has a reason for that]

[lonered]

[Where is this conversation going? Well Keith is curious enough to let it play out anyway.]

I mean, yeah. There's religion. All sorts.

[satanslash]

ok so my mom was human but my dad was uh

Satan



yyyyeah its as crazy as it sounds...

[lonered]

Huh.

That's a pretty famous father, I guess.

[satanslash]

oh yeah uts fucking great

I love having peoole whi don't even know me hating me for crap i had nothing to do with

[lonered]

Yeah, I get that. It sucks.

Anyone who's heard of the Galra aren't exactly super excited to meet one. Even half of one. And for good reason. The Empire is awful, has done terrible things. But there are still good people, even among the Galra, fighting on the right side of things.

[satanslash]

... its

its kinda weird to meet someone who like

actually gets it

[lonered]

Yeah. It kind of is.

...

I'm Keith.

[satanslash]

[Aww they made friends.]

I'm Rin.

[lonered]

Good to meet you.

Over weird old fashioned texting... thing.

[Smooth as hell as always, Keith.]

[satanslash]

[Don't worry, Rin is dumb and awkward. You two will get along great!]

someone called it a forum?

[lonered]

Yeah, that sounds right.

It's weirdly old fashioned.

[satanslash]

yeah idk anyone who uses forums anymore

the laptop looks kinda newish though?

wonder why we cant connect to anything else

[lonered]

They don't want us to. They want us isolated and not able to reach out for help. I suppose we're "fortunate" they gave us these to keep in contact with each other. But that's also definitely so they can spy on what we're saying, I'm sure.

[satanslash]

whoa whoa whoa wait slow down

they?

they who?

[lonered]

Whoever or whatever brought us here. And assigned us all laptops and forum handles.

Don't you think it's strange?

[satanslash]

i hadnt really thought about it...

at first i thought it was some demon trick but i havent found anything that proved that but if it aint demons...

Fuck, shit like this gives me a headache!

[lonered]

You and me both. The whole thing is stupidly frustrating. No answers, no nothing.

Yet. I'm not giving up this easy.

[satanslash]

what are you gonna do

is there anythibg i can do to help?

im not smart like my brother but im strong? Idk if thats worth anytbing here...

[lonered]

I'm going to explore and look around as much as I can and see if I can't find any trace or clue about who the hell brought us all here.

If you've got extra time, some girl mentioned a good idea. Seeing if we can find some sort of, newspaper or notes or letters or anything to give an idea of what the hell happened to the people who used to live here. Doesn't look like there was an attack or a battle or anything.

Everyone has different skills they can bring. Strong is good. Strong could definitely come in handy. Who knows what we'll wind up up against here.

[satanslash]

well consider me the strong guy with the sword you throw at whatever nasty crap decides to come at us

im not the best at looking for clues but im all for protecting anyone who is

also i can cook but that's been doing shit all withthe flavor of stuff ive found here
