[ i also did not try to think up a location because all i could think about was fleas, too. ]

I would have liked it under slightly different circumstances, but it's better in the long run.

[ if they only voted me out when i was innocent.... ]

It looks like this separate dimension has treated you well enough.

[residentmerc]

Mm. Almost everyone's gonna end up here sooner or later.

[ whomp whomp. fleas. i had real things to say in this bracket but i read fleas again and just stared into the middle distance anyway ]

It's got plenty of downsides, and it's a different kind of dangerous, but the amenities are a lot better. More space, too.

[ you win some you lose some. but. showers. ]

[sonorant]

That is the unfortunate goal. I wonder who will be left behind.

[ they still have to feel the pain of dying to get here and then those five are going to be the most miserable for however long they have to be the final five. ]

Every place has its benefits and detriments. Forgoing the ties to monsters is the best one. Working showers is a close second.

[residentmerc]

Don't know. There's people we've tried to coax not to be the ones doing that, but it'll be up to them in the end.

[ [cloud voice] here ninja pspspsps time to die ]

No shit. I'm used to roughing it and even I was sick of trying to get clean in that place.

[sonorant]

You'd like to see Yuffie over here sooner.

[ she will read between the lines. it's not like she reads over cloud's shoulders while he writes teenage girls telling them to die. meanwhile, robin, writing ashlyn: please consider dying. ]

I wonder if writing that we have working plumbing all the time would be censored.

[residentmerc]

She's done enough. [ but also; ] She's not the only one.

[ he also thinks ashlyn should die. he has a few teen girls to tell to die actually ]

We could try. "We have food and showers" isn't the worst incentive.

[sonorant]

Who all would you tell to come over here?

[ who does he want to leave miserable and alive?

thinks about how food and showers are the only two things they can talk about today. ]

It's generic enough it likely won't be blocked. Even if it's necessary, it's still a little... tough to ask them to... [ get murdered. point blank. ]

[residentmerc]

Ashlyn's one. [ she's corrupted. so. ] Thing is, for all we know, getting sacrificed is worse than the alternative.

[ where they end up here after a little murder!!! ]

[sonorant]

That's a fair point.

[ it's a very fair point. ]

None of us would like to be fodder for whatever god they're trying to summon. I wish pragmatism were an easy sell.

[residentmerc]

Nothing about this is an easy sell, but it's the only solution we've got so far. There's no other option.

[sonorant]

I know. I accept it. I think they do, too, but it's difficult to watch them make this choice, too.

[residentmerc]

Pretty sure the issue is that it isn't much of a choice.

[sonorant]

[ they could choose to badend. Robin has faith but she isn't writing it off. ]

There's no good choice. We'll have to see how many arrive by the end of the week.

[ if they killed a lot or if they're going to wait to kill the majority left later. ]

[residentmerc]

Hopefully, it's not more overseers.

[ THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP LOSING OVERSEERS ]

[sonorant]

Ah.

They can... I don't know how the cult would react, but... they could.... it'd be more incentive to come here.

[ that's all she's got. that's all she's got!!! if it's another overseer. (thankfully, it's not, but it would have been funny.) ]

[residentmerc]

Let's hope they stick with not. Not sure how they'd do anything without 'em.

[ i wish they had to do an overseer-less trial ]

[sonorant]

Without a veil, they wouldn't be able to do much. I have faith it won't get that bad.

[residentmerc]

Yeah, well. Faith's about all we've got.

[sonorant]

[ she smiles. ]

There are worst things to have. [ for an only thing to have. ] It's something that propels, little by little.

[residentmerc]

Never been good at blind faith.

[sonorant]

It's a little less blind here. We've come to know the people who are here, so you'll have to trust your own judgment on what you know, too.

[ even if he's been dead since w2 ]

[residentmerc]

... Right. I trust them.

[ SMASH CUT TO ASHLYN BEING LEFT ALIVE AND MURDERING ESSEK ]

[sonorant]

It's the most we can do, but it's a good thing to do.

[ they will learn later to trust less. ]

[residentmerc]

Pretty much the only thing I have been doing.

[sonorant]

I know. Is it difficult for you, Cloud?

... it can be difficult for me.
