[bad_habit]

are you fuckin serious?

ya no
where i'm from you don't just 'pop in' and 'visit'

i don't think it's gonna be that easy guy
this place hasn't really shown itself to be that
i mean i only been here a couple months but
this place LOVES fuckin with ya

[counterstep]

( welp. back to being a lonely old fart that knows too many things he can't talk about. )

...why do you have 'cleansings'?

what size are you? there could be someone around here who'd be able to make one for you
and generally it is, so it's about packing things with the intention of using for them for multiple purposes and understanding where the benefits are with certain items over others

Tell him hell's coffee is garbage and he'll insist. ]

I imagine our realms must have many commonalities, were we to compare. Perhaps after this mission is over, there will be time.

The last time I did so, some reckless fools rammed me with an airship. I did deserve it, though.

[bad_habit]

[Again, they could actually relate a lot more than most of the people you meet. Since he's 115 and all.]

cause the dickwads 'upstairs'
decided there were too many of us
so came up with extermination
as a way to even it out

fuuuuuuck
this all sounds so complicated

even if i did find someone to make a backpack for four fucking arms
how are you supposed to pack all this shit in it!?

[stresstokens]

Honestly, I'm pretty used to things trying to fuck with and/or trying to kill me. Not that I have any expectations of it being easy or straightforward, but it's not my first rodeo. I just need to make sure I'm stocked up on bullets and food.

Speaking of which, you'll probably want a weapon too. Someone on the network was talking about a training facility the other day. You might want to head down there and check out the armoury. It didn't sound like there were any guns, but you can at least grab a sword or something.

[bad_habit]

wait, what???
what're ya talkin about
'training facility'??

i'm really more of a guns guy
than a sword guy
but i mean beggars can't be choosers i guess

There has to be a better way to test us than camping in a goddamned glorified hedge maze.

[counterstep]

( but can he dance? )

why's this sound like some nine levels of hell bullshit...

it's not that bad once you get the main idea

think of it like
packing tetris?
if the main issue is that you have four arms, it probably wouldn't be so difficult to modify something that already exists to be usable, actually

[redheadcarrier]

so what

you think this is all some practical joke?

[stresstokens]

She framed it as more of a youth centre. I dunno how old you are but even if you're older, I don't see why you couldn't go in there and nab some weapons anyway. Let me link you.

[ True to his word: he drops a link to the specific conversation. ]

I'm more of a gun guy too. But it's never bad to have a sword in a pinch. It beats just using your fists.

[accelerate]

Glamping?
Glamor + camping?
It's like if traditional camping had a baby with an influencer's ego.

[cohero]

I don't do drugs, but I've done a lot of other things. Things that don't go over an alien network like this well.

I don't know much about anyone else here, but survival mode kicks in for a lot of people and takes their mind off of fun stuff.
I don't think I'm anything near 'good', but I'm not a bad person either.

It does.

More things that I'd feel better not talking about over an open network.
I don't trust this thing. Maybe if we do go into that maze together, I'll tell you more, eventually.

[bad_habit]

[It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing baby.]

seven, technically

i guess?
i mean it doesn't FEEL easier
but at least it makes KINDA more sense

i just usually get clothing made for me
i've never had to like
customise anything

[There may have been more hand holding in his life than he realised... Brutal.]

[bad_habit]

ya i ain't no youth
i'll have to keep it in mind
thanks

ain't that the truth
tho i don't do much punching
i'm more of a roundhouse
kinda guy

[bad_habit]

no but that sounds way more my style
like if they had that kinda crap where i'm from
i'd probably do it

[bad_habit]

well this is a judgement free zone
i love drugs
but i guess i should thank Charlie for gettin me off some of the harder shit
or i'd be real fucked now

ain't that the truth
shouldn't be though not entirely
but i guess i fuckin get it

me neither champ, so again, judgement free zone
but i been workin on being better so
i guess ya'll should be thankful for that

alright
but i wanna fuckin know
so it ain't like i'm gonna forget

[bad_habit]

a joke would imply this shit is funny

[bad_habit]

see!
that's what i'm talkin about!

like how the fuck is that supposed to show us anything!?
aside from how badly we all fuckin' smell with no showers

[cohero]

I'm not judging anyone here based on the past.
We all have them, and it's what happens now that matters.
Glad you're not fucked. Makes things easier here.

I haven't been here long, so who knows how I'll feel after being here a while.
Right now, I'm stuck in this pretty suspicious and survival mode.

If I'm going to be spending any time with you, I am thankful.

Don't worry, I know you won't forget. Just try to get some food that won't spoil before we go, and bring clothing and basic things you need for a few days in a bag you can carry on your back or something, if you can.

[levelshift]

I'm sure someone who enjoys it would come up with some horseshit about how camping builds character.

Aurora did say teamwork is necessary and abilities would be affected. As far as I know it's possible to camp solo, so I'm assuming there's going to be a lot more to it than just sleeping in the dirt.

[counterstep]

( hell yeah. alright, you're cool in his book. )

seven
seriously??

once you understand the highest priorities, it's a little easier to lean into the instinct
though having the means is still the biggest crutch

if it's just something simple, I could probably do it for you
patching up my worn clothes wasn't exactly uncommon when I was younger

[redheadcarrier]

someone thinks it is. i guarantee it.

[anciently]

yeah, i know some.
kinda had to do some camping out of necessity. been traveling a lot back home.

sounds like this charlie person has a good head on their shoulders!
sometimes you need little things to cheer you up when things are looking bleak. trust me.
i'm just trying to keep people's spirits up: that's all.

[ Very interesting to hear about the afterlife from Angel's world. She reads with furrowed brows, humming thoughtfully. ]

huh. yeah, i guess you get used to it.
that's really something though.
where i come from, they say you return to the lifestream after you die. become part of the planet again.

[accelerate]

Maybe we could see if there's a glamping corner somewhere in this labyrinth. Surely there has to be. This place is kind of modern.

Don't tell anyone else.

[stresstokens]

No? You kind of type like one. No offense.

[ Well. The dude is dead. Maybe he's like seventeen forever. ]

So what's your experience with fighting anyway? It seems like they mainly tried taking people who are used to it, and your whole guns deal sounds like it counts, even if they kinda handicapped you. You're not another one of those superhero guys are you?
