So let me get this straight.

Most of you keep shying away from saying things on the network because "the admins are watching it", and yet only a few of you ever tried contacting the administrators for questions and the like when they didn't leave a message first?

[Just a few things she's witnessed over the months she's been here. Consider her unimpressed, and rather annoyed at how many seem to have a death wish.]

Comments

[derping]

You mean more people haven't tried to do that?

[This is coming from someone who can't remember the past year of network trends, so...]

[guardianlight]

Apparently only a few tries were made before someone got their attention by being a pest.

It's almost like they've tempered some of us to stop trying some things that are simply common sense. If they're watching this but don't answer after the first time, why not just continue asking until you get an answer?

[derping]

I don't know. I'm still not really used to how this network thing works, so I've never thought about it before. I think there might be a lot of people here like that.

[The bigger issue Lightning just brought up goes right over his head - for now, anyway.]

[guardianlight]

[You poor, precious derp...]

You're likely right, but it still doesn't excuse those who do.

[derping]

It's a good idea, though! There's no way to go back and do it other times, but maybe more people will try it now.

[Alas, 'oblivious derp' is pretty much how he is and always will be. Which is why he thinks now is the best time for introductions ever.]

I'm Sora, by the way.

[guardianlight]

One can hope.

Lightning.

And yet they put an endless amount of faith in the mailboxes that were also given to us by the administrators.

[permatext]

[guardianlight]

[Oh look, one of those who she'd met before but also seemed to have a death wish.]

Seems backwards, don't you think?

[permatext]

[bloodyashes]

More than backwards. Seems stupid.

[Hey, he limited himself to one mocking.]

You'd think the ones so quick to cry out against the network would have something to say about it.

[guardianlight]

[Still rude when someone had a legit question or whatever.]

And yet they don't.

[bloodyashes]

[He's starting to think that he likes being called rude.]

And yet they don't.

If you've got a sensitive message to pass on, do it in person.

[guardianlight]

[are you kidding her-]

Exactly.

[Voice]

[no_longer_a_king]

I think people have forgotten how closely the Administrators observe us. Nothing we do is truly secret from them and they can easily force us to tell them whatever they wish without us being aware of it.

We should be trying to get them to work with us as opposed to against us with our most pressing problem: restoring power to the Tower. We cannot do anything for anyone on any world if we cannot save ourselves.

[permavoice]

[guardianlight]

[She'll switch to voice for this one.]

My thoughts exactly. Can't say I've been here very long, but with how obvious the lack of action is I'd say some are too paranoid to act in the first place.

[She sighs, letting her exasperation at the situation show. The ticking of the countdown does little to help.]

Right. We're on borrowed time, after all.

Voice until otherwise noted, then! o/

[no_longer_a_king]

My thoughts exactly. The Administrators already know what is going on. They would know better than anyone we had visions this last week and that the Carnival was destroyed, if not just as baffled as to what the cause was. The same as a few months ago when there was another bombing and we had similar visions.

[guardianlight]

I remember that. Riki's month, right?

permatext

[looselips]

hey, quick question.
how long have YOU been here?

permatext

[guardianlight]

Two, three months tops.

[looselips]

so let me get this straight.
you've been here two to three months and YOU hadn't tried doing the thing you're talking down to other people over?
weeeak.

[guardianlight]

Didn't have anything to ask or say, unlike the one who did and was interrupted.

[wegotlucky]

Seems kind of weird, doesn't it?

I figured people had done that already.

text;

[guardianlight]

It does.

Makes you wonder what others have and haven't tried before, if they haven't tried initiating a conversation over this network before.

[wegotlucky]

I guess this is one of those "it's so obvious no one has thought about it" situations.

Hindsight's a funny thing.

text;

[guardianlight]

That it is.

text;

[wegotlucky]

It's a massive oversight, isn't it?

I can't believe typing someone's name a bunch of times got his attention.

[flarefor_beauty]

Who are these admins you speak of? [Because he had admins that work for him.]

text;

[guardianlight]

[...? Has this person been living under a rock or something???]

...You mean to say you never wondered you left you those two notes when you arrived?

[flarefor_beauty]

I have only just arrived. [He hadn't even read the note yet.] Do you know our captors are?
