PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello Etraya, a few of the newest arrivals are originally from wherever we told you we're from, but before coming here we were in Etraya's sister city, Solmara. Solmara has overthrown their AI and is ruled by a woman named Alrys. She sent us here on a recon mission to steal supplies, and while some of us were considering it, upon arrival we decided not to.

I can't speak for the others, but I know for a fact if Alrys got wind of what this place is like, she'd start a war. I'm not interested, not because I'm kind and noble (I'm not) but because making two whole cities miserable would be stupid.

Aurora has been informed of everything, but in the interest of transparency I'm letting the rest of you know too.

We will be answering questions but only if they're not stupid and you're super nice about it. Keep in mind we're probably gonna get tortured then killed then tortured again for snitching. 😃❤️🥳👍🚀🦈

PS: Any magical healers out there?

(The PS is not included on the things we will be answering questions about)

Alrys has been ruling the place for years, it was arranged so we'd show up with the rest of the new arrivals, I don't know the mechanics of it.

This a snitches get stitches situation. You're a cop, you must know all about it.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Yeah, yeah. Get in line. Who doesn’t wanna beat my ass at this point

Connor cares about you so maybe I’d even let you get in a free shot.

[instabilitatem]

Hank, please don't.

[badlydisarmed]

I'll gift wrap him a bullet.

[instabilitatem]

Please.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

You’re upsetting Connor.

If you’re gonna murder me, do it someplace he can’t see.

[instabilitatem]

Hank.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

It’s fine, Connor. He’s not gonna kill me.

[Or maybe he is, but shh.]

Anyway you’re over there talking about letting Sevika murder you, so. How do you think that makes me feel?

[instabilitatem]

It's a necessary fail-safe.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

And if it were me? You’d just give up on me?

Because I wouldn’t give up on you.

[instabilitatem]

It's not giving up. It's a precaution.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

No. You deviated once. You could do it again if you had to.

[instabilitatem]

There's no certainty I will.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

There wasn’t certainty this last time, was there?

But you still got there.

You’re a good person, Connor. And you’re always going to be a good person.

Even when someone shitty makes you do bad things.

[instabilitatem]

[Connor would be repeating how many he hurt, how badly he hurt them, but he's not sure Hank wants to have that argument again.]

I think I'll spend some time with Sumo.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

I’m gonna say it as many times as you need to hear it, Connor.

Wasn’t trying to upset you more. You know I suck at all this.

But okay. Yeah. You do that.

[Hank doesn’t deserve him...!!!!]

[badlydisarmed]

I wasn't THREATENING your boyfriend, for fuck's sake.

Stop telling people to kill you.

[instabilitatem]

It is protection so I don't hurt anyone again.

[badlydisarmed]

Then tell me to kill you.

[instabilitatem]

I feel like this is more of a test than an earnest request.

[badlydisarmed]

Absolutely not. You go full RoboCop again I'll empty a whole machine gun on you.

[instabilitatem]

As you should.

[badlydisarmed]

If I end up with spare bullets after, they might go on your boyfriend, by the way.

So you better not.

[instabilitatem]

Of course, my apologies.

[badlydisarmed]

That wasn't Spanish.
