Hurt ME lots.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

...I know. I shouldn't have said anything.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

Everyone seein' me like that is mortifyin'.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

[ holdsssss him ]

I can't imagine.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

We gotta put that behind us. Cuz its so dumb.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

I keep trying, man. I don't know how.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

...me neither. Can't run away from it.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

Jumping off a ship about it also doesn't help.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

I dunno how it ever was GONNA.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

If there was some obvious way out, and no one ever tried it, even while we were getting killed or mauled or whatever...

but, honestly, I was expecting the Showmaster. Or the thought police again. Someone I could ask stuff.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

How does thought police work...

Re: day 221

[audacity]

Uh.

[ god did he just not mention this. whoops ]

Forte told me about it. I tried thinking "I want to go home" three times, really hard, and a super creepy jumpscare told me I couldn't. No one else could see it either, so it just made an appearance in my head.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

Where ya do that?

Re: day 221

[audacity]

The living room? But it probably doesn't matter a ton where.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

So our feelings are policeded everywhere.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

Great, isn't it?

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

...aint great. But I guess maybe s'good to avoid dwelling....if we wanna try t'pretend it ain't the worst.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

[ quiet a moment ]

I don't think anyone's seen them for other thoughts. Just the going home thing. And...they didn't say never, either. For what it's worth. It was "not yet" and "you have to get to the end."

...but maybe we gotta just pretend it's not the worst here.

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

Wonder why it's only that one thing...

Re: day 221

[audacity]

Wonder why it matters. Thinking about going home doesn't just magically send people home, right?

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

...huh. Maybe it could? Or it could break something. Like conditions for a blessing.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

...like, say, a crazy no-one-can-die-permanently blessing?

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

...mmm. Or maybe something even bigger.

Re: day 221

[audacity]

[ breathes out slowly ]

Re: day 221

[rugpull]

Cuz the keepin' alive thing...its real powerful yeh. But how often do they gotta use that?

But there's other stuff.

[rolls off Aster, sitting up in bed, legs crossed]

Mmmm. Bein' able to transport people from real far every once in a while. They done that more than they revived people. And uhm. Bein' about to get us all enough food. The energy t'keep the boat even still moving without refueling. Creatin' all the places we perform in like with the mills.

The mill thing. They created the same space for every family with the same girl but she did different stuff with every family.

That's probably more power than revivin' us.
