I see.

Someone has been helping me a little with my communication style, and I'd like to try something. Could you possibly tell them "I don't like you and you should shut up" for me?

Oh, I don't really care if they do that.
I mean I'm not against it I just don't have any real opinion on it one way or the other. It doesn't seem like any of my business.

It's alright. This was a hard week for a lot of people. We lost some, some are very down, I got most of my memories back, I worry people won't practice proper safety with the dinosaurs?

Not that part, the part after. When I left my temple and travelled for a while. It was nice. I had a great group of friends, they were all terrible. It's funny, I just hadn't realized how much of the world I've already seen. It's a lot bigger than I knew it was.

Is Crow bothering you? He did ruin a pretty nice chair.

tell me about
like the places you seen
the people you met
i basically lived my entire life in the same shitty town
didn't have any friends and didn't want any
didn't go on trips like normal families did cause my grandpa hated my guts
so i like hearing about what other people see

he's not bothering me
he's just stupid
always has been

I kind of get what you mean about him.

Anyway, I'm sorry about your grandpa.
I was close with my family but we lived in a remote place for a long time.
But then I left and saw some incredible things.
The ocean. I've been to the bottom of it.
And deep, deep underground, where the really weird creatures and lava monsters are.
Helped my friends break into a dragon lair? And also into a forbidden tomb that in retrospect, we shouldn't have broken into at all.
The world is so much bigger than I knew it was.
And there's a lot out there that I don't care for.
Some of it will haunt me for a long time.
But it was nice. There's still so much I'd like to...
Well.

[ damb ]

[wtf this is so sweet. he's probably just going to write that sentiment into text at some point so hold onto your butt.]

Oh, there's a lot of weird stuff down there.
Hags that sink ships and skeletons and leviathans.

Alright, fair's fair.
I was thinking I'd like to see more of it.
And I'd like you to see more of it, too.
It's sad that it can't happen.

But I know I'm not alone, and neither are you.
I've enjoyed these talks a lot.
Your perspective is valuable to me and I'm grateful you feel as though you can share it.

[ that’s fine just always remind everyone that the sociopath who shoved a grenade in someone’s mouth once told you this ]

it COULD y’know
like we can go out and see more
i don’t plan on dying until i got to disney or a museum at least once
just to see what the fuck the fuss is all about

yea
me too
she liked having someone to talk to, too
i know shit about my world is confusing but
she and i are really hoping to get our stupid friends back to reality and maybe like
if miracles do exist or whatever, there’ll be chance to wake up and walk again
i don’t wanna miss out on that chance even if all odds are against it

so if you wanna see that world of yours again and those people you’re talking about
let’s take the leap and try

[personal profile] graverot 2022-03-30 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I want that for you, too.
I don't want you to miss out on that.
Miracles definitely do exist. Even if they don't always appear when you need them.

I'm thinking about it. I have been thinking about it. Some of you are pushy, and you make some good points. I have a responsibility here, though, too, to keep the people who depend on me safe. I can't go chance some reckless plan if it's going to get someone else hurt.

[personal profile] classmate 2022-03-31 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
who are you protecting?
the living?
who made that your responsibility in the first place???
graverot: (lotus)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-03-31 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well.
Technically the Wildmother.
But I don't specifically mean them, although I would like to protect them as well if I can.
I mean Bass and Riff. And Steel too, I suppose, but she's an adult.
classmate: (pic#15444028)

[personal profile] classmate 2022-03-31 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
what are you protecting them from tho
graverot: (enoki)

[personal profile] graverot 2022-03-31 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
From this place falling apart on them.
Losing more than they've already lost - losing Steel or myself, or losing one another.
classmate: (pic#15444063)

[personal profile] classmate 2022-03-31 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
do you all feel like you've got this responsibility
not that you really need that to stay i guess but i'm curious

have you guys ever thought of a way how to ensure this place doesn't fall apart
aside from like
staying

[personal profile] graverot 2022-04-01 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
We've spent a lot of time putting pieces of ourselves into this place, making it stable, safe, a good place to be.

Trying to escape seems to have the opposite effect. It removes that stability. I think that's what worries me so much. Is there a way to have both? If so, we haven't found it.
classmate: (pic#15444028)

[personal profile] classmate 2022-04-03 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
have YOU tried leaving before?
what didn’t work or like
what did you try doing to get out of here at least
if you remember

cause it looks like there’s been a couple attempts and they’ve done nothing but make this place into a fucking dumpster fire

[personal profile] graverot 2022-04-03 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't remember the specifics but
I think it was before we lost the other four.
Why we lost them.
