Ah, hello everyone! I'm Vash, one of the new arrivals. It's nice to meet everyone :)
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but has anyone actually met Echo or gotten a chance to speak with them? Because I was thinking, there's so many of us from so many different places, and between all of us I'm sure there's a solution Echo hasn't found where nobody needs to lose a universe, right? Echo's just one person, after all--there must be some angles to this situation they haven't even considered yet, and if enough of us approached them at once, maybe they'd hear us out.
Thanks for your time!!

[ Of course Fabian is operating under the usual Bad Kids standard: suspect every single adult you ever come across. ]
what if we are just being lied to
no subject
[He won't sugarcoat that; there's nothing they have to go on but goodwill. Even so.]
But I'd rather not assume bad faith until we know more.
no subject
i mean i guess we really don't have evidence either way whether or not echo is good or bad
that is true
but assuming they're bad at least means you'll protect yourself from being taken advantage of here, right?
no subject
I don't mind helping out with things even if the reasons we've been given aren't true. I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
no subject
even if it means this place will hurt you???
no subject
Haha I mean, I did say anyone!
[That's not an answer, Vash.]
no subject
[ For a moment there's.. just that message. All caps. No other context.
At least it's not the only thing Fabian sends. Apparently the teen needed a moment to process this - because yeah, it sure isn't an answer, if anything the avoidance just confirms what he was thinking from his point of view!! - but then another message joins it. ]
you can't be serious
are you perhaps into that sort of thing??
is that it??
i am asking if you are a masochist!!!
[ He probably didn't need to clarify, but maybe he's just that worked up. Or just being dramatic. ]
no subject
No, no, definitely not! I don't like pain at all. Sometimes people think I'm a little too timid, even!
[He's sure still not answering that first question though, is he.]]
no subject
He's definitely not answering. And the other is a stranger, so he could easily let Vash get away with that. It's not like it should matter to Fabian, anyway.
But if the Bad Kids are anything, it's that they're really bad at not being nosy and sticking their nose into everyone else's business. ]
then why are you okay with getting hurt
i mean i can tell you are avoiding talking about it
but you must know that it's not alright to for anyone to get hurt over what's going on here
not you nor anyone else
that just means letting the kidnappers win
and guess what???
fabian aramais seacaster is NOT going to let the kidnappers win!!!!!!
no subject
He can't do that in text. There's no response on the other end for a time, not even typing dots. At length:]
I don't want anyone to be hurt.
But that's not always possible.
[At least he can live with being the one who's hurt, if it has to be anyone.]
no subject
[ Fabian may be a little dumb. In some ways. But apparently even he can read that into Vash's words. Sometimes the thing someone is really saying is hidden within what they don't say, rather in what they do say, and this is a clear example of that to him. ]
you do realise that's being a hypocrite right
there are people who care about you as well
i don't think they will be very happy when you get hurt
in fact you getting hurt IS what would hurt them in that case
it's much better to instead fight right alongside the people you care for
to be in it together
