@ everyone

i think most, if not all of you, were welcomed by someone upon coming here. or have found people to surround yourselves with. i know i have.

and you've all been introduced to the ins and outs of how many of the groups here work. who likes who, who hates who. sometimes we even get a reason! but people have been stuck here for around 2 years, if not more. there's a lot of history here and not enough time to sift through it all.

personally, i'm not asking anyone to betray the friendships you've made so far. i would, however, ask you to lend your fresher, less involved perspective to the friends you've made so far. help them keep in mind that we're all stuck here.

because we're still going to be here after the werewolf game ends and i would really like to not have to fear finding people dead afterwards.

[cholesterol]

From what I hear, deaths happen, even outside of this game, even back in that burned out house.

You're not wrong about keeping a fresh perspective.

[purpura]

feels inevitable, doesn't it? but the least, the better.

it's so easy to get engrossed in the inner politics. even now i'm worried that me trying to be there for everyone might lose me people i hold close to me.

[cholesterol]

In my line of work, it is, yeah

Lesson one: you can't be there for everyone. It's not possible.

[purpura]

logically, i know it's not possible.

emotionally? i can't help but try.

[cholesterol]

Both.

[buio]

Does this whole thing feel like a distraction to you? To keep us from teaming up and getting the fuck out of here? I wonder if somebody was close to it. Wonder if someone stumbled onto something this place didn't want us knowing

[cholesterol]

Normally, I'd say yes, but werewolf happened this time last year, too, and last I checked Natalie wasn't here and didn't torch a heart in the house

[buio]

Fair but we're not in the manor this time so things could have changed
I dunno I hope they changed. I am not staying in fucking Gloriavale forever

[cholesterol]

Gloriavale?

[buio]

It's this fucked up cult commune in New Zealand

[purpura]

i'm not sure, but it's distracting all the same.

from what i've gathered it's one thing after another. a game, a mystery, a festival, there's always something keeping everyone busy, on edge, closing their groups and creating divides.

so in the long run? you might be on to something.

[buio]

Yeah exactly
Something is getting off on the chaos of this. It's something to try and remember going forward
If we found the path of least resistance as a team it would take all the fun out of it for them

[purpura]

not to mention some people just want to cause chaos, even at their own peril.

the shepherd is all gung ho about something feeding off the deaths. like he expects something to burst out of the ground at the end. cult shit.

[buio]

Yeah I witnessed that first hand last round

Does it always have to be cult shit...?

[angelhunter]

Something to keep in mind once this is over, and all the more reason to bring it to a close as quickly as we can.

[buio]

But the infighting makes that impossible
All anybody wants to do is stand around and bitch about each other behind closed doors

[angelhunter]

Then high among our priorities should be not to join them.

[ are you reading this yeko, kai, wwx later that evening? :I ]

[buio]

Easier said than done...

[laozu]

I sure haven't!
Out of you all: Kai's my friend and I'll stick with him, thanks!

[hiyakai]

aww you're my friend too (:

[purpura]

so much for not caring about anyone huh

[hiyakai]

no, i still don't care about any of you

[purpura]

terms and conditions apply

[purpura]

sure, whatever

not here to force a group hug or something
