Is this place normally this chaotic and psychologically-testing? The cold, the angry mobs, the randomly teleporting administrators? I'm betting it's been mentioned many times before, but I don't think these people were intending to actually 'save' us by taking us here.

Is it really that surprising to believe that our would be SAVIORS didn't intent to do as such once you see this place? Arrive with collar and tag and left to fend for yourself in this wretched place?

[redlikeflowers]

>I'm betting it's been mentioned many times before

Did you not read that part? It was a passing comment.

[adorably_evilish]

.... I don't need to read everything! [Yes you do Veigar...]

Regardless! It's kind of moot to speak of it when it won't matter. They'll do whatever they want, when they want to and apparently no one can stop them. All attempts had failed and I'm sure it has to do with these blasted collars

[redlikeflowers]

How sad. You apparently don't come from a world where people can't make comments for the sake of making comments.

Your input is noted.

[adorably_evilish]

What's the point of making a comment for the sake of making a comment... Sounds like a waste of time.

[redlikeflowers]

It's these two wonderful concepts called 'personal observation' and 'making potential conversation'.

[adorably_evilish]

I see... and what does one gain from such 'personal observation'? I don't see much use of making potential conversation. That either happens or it doesn't.

[redlikeflowers]

[ Wow, what is with this guy. ]

Are you serious? Have you never heard of sarcasm?

[adorably_evilish]

... Of course![Of course such things as sarcasm and anything that was common sense flew right over his head.]

I thought you wanted conversation. [Attempt to clearly show he was in the know of everything that was being said...]

[redlikeflowers]

A conversation about the nature of conversations isn't much of a conversation.

[adorably_evilish]

Well it's something! I thought that was the point of this inane post!

[redlikeflowers]

No, it isn't.

[adorably_evilish]

Wait, then what was it?! You just said it was to make conversation, so a conversation of a conversation is still a conversation!

[redlikeflowers]

It's a boring conversation.

Why does anyone make conversation except to entertain themselves?

[adorably_evilish]

I am sure whatever I find entertaining is not in the same kind you would. So I'll go and inquire what do you find entertaining?

[redlikeflowers]

Caligraphy and handicrafts.

[isthatashortjoke]

...

Well. Not quite what I expected. At least you don't seem to be a complete fool with those kinds of likes.

I take it you've found plenty to do around the tower then?

[redlikeflowers]

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Yes, it's relatively entertaining.

[isthatashortjoke]

Hm I suppose I might have misjudged you. It sure puts you above the incompetent fools that do nothing but whine and complain and sit idly waiting for the reaper to take them once more.

[ Add "texting Tsubaki" to his already fairly long list of "things I never thought I'd ever do before arriving here." ]

apparently it's usually even worse than this

[redlikeflowers]

[ She is appalled by the lack of grammar, Amano-san!! ]

Oh?

[deusexyandere]

yeah

[ He's a kid, this is how he texts. D: And suddenly, filter. ]

yuno is here

[redlikeflowers]

The Second?

I take it this a very bad thing?

[deusexyandere]

she won't be very happy to see you

[doesnotgetit]

The angry mobs are new. At least, from what I've seen.

[redlikeflowers]

So we don't usually plan big attacks on the administration?

[doesnotgetit]

Kind of seems like a bad idea, trying to attack people you know little to nothing about, don't you think?

So no. Not as far as I know.

[redlikeflowers]

It was sarcasm.

And yes, it does seem foolish.

[doesnotgetit]

Sarcasm's something that seems pretty hard to convey over text.

I get that there are people who really want to get out of this tower. I don't blame them at all, this place is definitely horrible. But charging in without a plan isn't going to get anyone anywhere, and it runs the risk of the administrators coming down hard on us all - not just the ones who attacked them.

[redlikeflowers]

Touche.

There were bystanders that got caught up in the chaos, I take it?

[doesnotgetit]

Not sure. I wasn't there to see it for myself, so I can't tell you what exactly went down or who may or may not have been hurt or killed.

[keybearer]

Yes.

You think this is bad? A few months back, people got thrown into a Labyrinth and forced to kill each other. Then, for Halloween, we had to collect candies or get crushed by our own costumes.

[redlikeflowers]

[ ....whelp. Good that she's using text and not video, because she's losing a bit of her composure. ]

I see.

I'm not sure what Halloween is, but you have my condolences.

[keybearer]

It's basically this holiday where kids dress up in costumes and go door to door for candy.

Ruana decided to make a 'game' out of it... complete with a disgusting twist.

selfishness is eternal

transcends time and space

across worlds and dimensions

altruism is dead

[redlikeflowers]

I should have you know I'm not fond of nihilistic poetry.

[kingofthetoybox]

my point is that you're correct

at the same time, incorrect

there's something to gain specifically by telling us they're our friends

even if they're seemingly powerful enough to go without it

[ceasetoexist]

Really they aren't here to help what a shocker.

Relying on anything these jerkwads tell us is stupid. The best we can hope for is relying on our fellow prisoners.

[redlikeflowers]

Your sarcasm is duly noted.

[ceasetoexist]

Yeah yeah nice comeback.

But no seriously. Some of the other people here are probably worth trusting, but I think we can count on the people here to mess us over as much as they can.

[warriorscribe]

*The seats in front of the terminals are cold enough that Enoch stands to type instead.*

One of them does. Unfortunately, the rest seem to think of saving someone from a world about to die and giving those people a peaceful alternative as two entirely unrelated obligations.

[redlikeflowers]

And who might this outlier be?

[warriorscribe]

Dax. It will be his turn to watch us two months from now.
