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 ]

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?

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

Echo. Aurora is the ... um. Holographic lady? I think she's Echo's helper?

Anyhow I think Echo is mostly focused on us getting along with each other. Or cooperating. The first thing we did was pair up and sit in a room until we could guess each other's favorite drink. It was sort of fun actually ... aside from being locked in a room.

I'd say it's pretty sad you don't even know where to start, but a lot of the terms haven't exactly been clear.

[ he will dispense entirely with the pleasantries since it seems others have those covered... ]

To the best of my knowledge there is no publicly-available armory in the city. If you need weaponry that was not on your person on arrival, you may need to request it specially.

Probably not enough. The instructions are vague, and I don’t think guns are going to solve that.

Looks like you've gotten some decent answers already. ( looking at you, natsuno, not so much rita... )

But if you somehow manage to manifest a weapons shop, do spread the word. Also asking for a friend.

This feels like a case of the blind leading the blind. Nobody knows anything, unfortunately.

I've mostly been trying to explore the place and keep my head down. So far, the robots seem helpful; but on the other hand, I once found a severed arm in a package, and for a while, there were, uh... copies? Of people walking around. Considerably meaner copies.

So all in all, I don't know if currying favor with these people is something I want to do.

You might want to ask Kate about firepower, she manages a sort of community center with an archery range.

i was telling the journalist that a little while ago, i had a celestial visit and judge me.
the highlight was a fun conversation about ethics and intentions.
at the end of the day, i figure if there's precisely any merit to what we're being told,
( which he thinks is a 'no', ) either echo's seen something in how you are fundamentally as a person that seems promising — good, by a measure, or even just how you respond to adversity.
are we comparing ourselves to each other, or we comparing us to us? big difference.
maybe just asking the question's a start, 'cause not a lot of people stop to ask what's good enough.

as for weapons, i don't know. my partner got a building, so i'm hoping to sweet talk aurora into giving me some of my stuff.
