sup, new girl here

spare me the usual bs, i want to know something

we're supposed to be trying to curry favor with...something...or other to save our universes right?

what have YOU done so far? i need examples, because if i'm doing this, i gotta know just how utterly fucked i am

also also, where can a red blooded american girl find some firepower? asking for a friend

[ what a nice, not problematic at all post ]

Comments

[redheadcarrier]

nothing, I just got here. I'm still figuring this mess out!

[ There's a pause before the next bit sends. ]

you mean like a gun? or something bigger?

[spinoff]

stick around, hopefully someone will say something useful

also no, i know my limits. i don't want to pull the trigger and go flying back like a ragdoll

[redheadcarrier]

they don't exactly have anything for me to pilot so i guess i better learn to shoot if we're going to be fighting something. or someone.

[spinoff]

pilot what, an airplane?

provided that even shooting would work on whatever you might want to fight

[redheadcarrier]

no, an eva.

although i could probably fly an airplane if i needed to.

[ Bold words, but she's pretty sure of herself. ]

good point. some stuff doesn't die to bullets.

absolutely nothing.

besides drink.

[spinoff]

what's an eva? other than a woman's name

i sure hope there's more to do here than violence

[spinoff]

personal choice or have you all been sitting on your asses all this time?

[ebrius]

personal choice.

i don't exactly like being told what to do. or being kidnapped to some place that i don't know.

[spinoff]

okay, so people have been doing things

so...fuck your world? screw you and thanks for the fish, fuckers?

[ebrius]

people have been doing things

what makes you think that people in charge are actually going to do what they say they're going to do? trust that easily?

We had a "trust building exercise":

1. Get randonly paired and try to guess the other's favorite drink
2. Have secrets or personal items sent to total strangers
3. Run into our evil doppelganger, which we depended on others to kill because we couldn't touch them

[spinoff]

oh

so mind fuckery

we're doing mind fuckery up in this shithole

wonderful

[spinoff]

any examples?

of course not, but the alternative? it's a bit too big of a risk to not take into account. i'd rather deal with a non-zero chance they actually do something

un: arsenal

[thwikt]

don't think they have a weapons shop here
just a lot of trees
and half constructed bldgs
and a bouncy castle

[neverleave]

Pretty much.

If you play along and complete the "tests," our kidnappers might reward you with points to trade for stuff. Like firepower.

[redheadcarrier]

the most advanced war machine ever built!

[ Among other things. ]

basically a giant robot

but yeah. hope it's not just some survival of the fittest bullshit.

[spinoff]

i mean

someone can just trip on a bouncy castle and break their neck?

[ Wrong franchise, Tara! ]

[ebrius]

there was some bonding thing when we first got here. a checklist of shit to do. some people did that.

i haven't seen any evidence they're doing what they say they're doing. or not doing. it's just all been talk.

and people shitty for no reason. clones of ourselves showed up a few weeks back.

[spinoff]

so you pilot a giant robot? how giant?

there seems to be mindgames involved, too. not sure if that makes things better

[spinoff]

either they're right and that means this place is going down the shitter with everything else, or they're lying and we're here for another reason, i guess. i just don't like sitting idle

well that is comforting

[spinoff]

so the "points" are to use here, but nothing to do with the actual reason they claim they brought us here?

at least there seems to be a way to get a hold of stuff

[thwikt]

do you know a lot of people who've broken their necks in bouncy castles?

[redheadcarrier]

thirty meters or so.

[ She has to pause. This is - what? Fine? It's a surprisingly civil conversation. ]

i hate mind games. i hate all of that. i don't need someone trying to PSYCHO ANALYZE ME while we're in the middle of the end of the world or some stupid crap like that.

[spinoff]

not really, but i can totally see it happening in some horror movie/slasher sort of thing

not very efficient for self-defense, unfortunately
