[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...??

yeah that's been... kinda the worst part of this
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??

It takes time to adjust after something like that. I haven't seen anyone "bounce back" quickly.

[ 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. ]

[bad_habit]

ya and i've never had to bounce back
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

They could he testing our mettle, or simply have a poor sense of humor. Either way, it isn't just you.

[ 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?

[bad_habit]

[There is, as weird as it sounds he is almost glad that he's not the only one feeling all of this.
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

[prevail]

Oh, so encouragement is acceptable?

Very well.

I should ask the bots to make one for you.

[ Is he kidding? Is he serious? ]

when your chrome do a weird

[bad_habit]

it certainly helps

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

[prevail]

I would make better coffee than banners, but if it would improve morale...

[ A very long pause follows. ]

I'll consider it.

ugh mine hate this laptop more than anything

[bad_habit]

well we could always do both i mean
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...

[prevail]

Coffee is good for this, true.

In that case, I'll do my best.

[ Angel better use his special morale banner... ]
