[This is so dumb, he can't believe he's doing this. But it's come up a lot lately for for a number of reasons and he just needs to talk about it. Okay? Okay.]
is anyone else a little worried about what happens if your world ISN'T deemed worthy of being saved???
like
what if your worlds not all that great to begin with??
it ain't like anyones given out any standards of judgement or anything
but what if you know yours isn't really a good candidate to continue to exist
what if you've already tried before to prove to someone else that your world has every right to be there with limited support from the general masses,
who don't seem very interested in trying to prove to be anything other than shitty??
what if yours ends up on the chopping block?
what happens to you and everyone you know...??

we DO have very different Hells i guess
mine probably wishes he was that tall
i guess
it just feels like a lot of pressure all of a sudden especially after
well
everything that's happened recently
it didn't seem so hard not that long ago
and now it feels, different??
I dunno if that makes sense.

We don't quite have a hell as you describe. The Crimson Horizon comes closest, but this was not Lucifer's domain; he presided over the evolution of the Skies.
I've come to doubt the intentions behind these missions, after the previous one. Even so, we have no choice but to endeavor.
Should my world survive and yours not... There is room for you and your people in the Sky Realm.
[ Yes he's tossing this out there just like that. ]
no subject
what's the evolution of the skies??
i dunno for me it seems to have a common theme
and it mostly ends up with me not looking very good in this worlds eyes
i mean i just get the robots to like me again
and then i destroy half the damn forest
[It sucks, but he just keeps on keeping on. As much as someone can making silly bracelets that are probably going to hurt them in some way. It's a lot to think about so there's a huge pause between that and his next message.]
thanks, seriously.
no subject
Do the flora and fauna of Hell not change and adapt over time? Evolution is a form of growth — adaptation.
You were being manipulated, so that can't entirely be blamed on you. For that reason, I refrained from mentioning you when speaking of it... But I don't think we have privacy here.
I don't want you to think your people have no hope. Whatever form it may take, there must be a way.
no subject
i suppose that sounds dumb
no but i mean, i made it that way
i let it lure me
just like i always do with that kinda shit
[And that had been the hardest part of it all. How easily he felt for those sweet whispers, only to be so totally taken by it.]
i never think i cared about that kinda stuff but to be honest
i do
i want them to have that
i want them to WANT that
[Which is why he hadn't given up quite yet. But he'd been admittedly a little stressed about it. He hadn't really had to do this all on his own before.]
no subject
I have assuredly done more and worse. But my feelings are my own, and it was unnerving to have them drained from me.
[ It's public knowledge in his world that he caused the Cataclysm, so he isn't all that shy about being honest regarding it. ]
You don't sound at all unworthy to me, saying that. Setbacks aren't failure.
no subject
i can't lie
and admittedly why i'm feeling weird i guess
[And it's not unknown in his that Angel is definitely not a good example of a good person but he'd actually been doing so good so it feels so disheartening to have gone a little backwards.
But the others right. Setbacks aren't failure.]
i suppose not right
i mean this place picked me right
probably
gotta be a reason for that??
no subject
[ Even some of those tasked with eliminating plushies had been disheartened by what they had to do and the distress it visited upon others. It makes him wonder what the point of that even was. ]
I'd like to think there is a reason. Whether there is or isn't though, you've stated your purpose. So long as you hold onto that, you can move forward.
[ Granted he's a purpose-driven creature by design, but he's got the spirit, probably. ]
no subject
from anything like this
not even on my worst days
[It's why he's thinking so much on this, why would they put them through this? It just doesn't make sense, at all. Whomever is sitting up there in the cosmic observatory watching them is an ass, for sure.]
jeez
we should put your freakin words on banners
and string em up in the common room ffs
no subject
[ And there may be some comfort in that, not that any of them deserved to be subjected to such a bizarre excuse for a test. ]
Aren't banners usually congratulatory phrases? "Happy Birthday" and things of that nature.
[ Give him a moment, he's so very literal. ]
Or is this a form of deflection?
no subject
Though he wishes none of them did.]
i mean, sort of,
but to be honest
banners can be for ANYTHING
according to some of my friends
no subject
Very well.
I should ask the bots to make one for you.
[ Is he kidding? Is he serious? ]
when your chrome do a weird
i don't want no stupid AI one
if you're gonna do it
i want the REAL deal
you gotta make it
browsers love to mess with us
[ A very long pause follows. ]
I'll consider it.
ugh mine hate this laptop more than anything
what brings people together more than coffee
and colourful banners??
if you make one i'll hang it up
cross my heart
cursed devices that just refuse...
In that case, I'll do my best.
[ Angel better use his special morale banner... ]
