024th Shattering * Audio

[Filtered to Ange || 100% Unhackable]

Have you ever ice-skated? We could go to the lake, I don't think it will snow today despite how the sky looks.

[Open to all]

While I appreciate the effort from the Malnosso to bring in the Christmas mood... I still would have preferred to be able to decorate the house myself and decide what lights it has and all that. Guess we could still do it despite this.

How many of you are spending Christmas here for the first time? Or even hearing the term Christmas for the first time, I guess there are many of those. If you're curious, Christmas is basically a winter holiday, it has religious background but it also has a pagan tradition. Back on Earth many different religions and countries have it or an equivalent holiday. In simple terms it's a way to celebrate the end of the year and the start of the new one, also there's a tradition of giving and receiving gifts on the 25th, which is Christmas day. Or getting them from Santa Claus, or the Malnosso like last year.

It's a holiday to spend with friends, family and loved ones... Does everyone have someone to celebrate it with?

By the way, anyone has some advice to share regarding what to do for a special girl on Christmas? I don't mean regarding gifts, I have that covered, but... You know, getting her somewhere or doing something special, I suppose. It doesn't have to be necessarily romantic, it's preferred if it's not too romantic, even.

...I guess that's one way to look at it. I'd rather not have to measure it relative to sending rabid squirrels after me, though.

How about measure it relative to making the moon crash over us? Because from what I was told, that happened.

And at another time the sky cracked and we had a monster rain. And an earthquake that destroyed many buildings.

How about we hope those things never happen again, and measure it relative to life just going on as normal?

I'll soon hit the two years being here, as much as I'm a fan of hope and breaking through determined things I know that hoping for that is useless.

Maybe. Not like people haven't left, though. You don't hope to get out at all?

Honestly? No. Not until I know why people are brought here to begin with and find a way to stop it, whether it's the Malnosso or some strange force in this world. I know I would forget everything, but I'm sure a part of me wouldn't and it would have a bad mouth taste to leave while knowing that other people will keep being thrown here.

Even if everyone here left at once, I would prefer to stay, even with more reason. So those new who arrive here won't be left in the dark about what's going on.

....That's far more commitment than I could bring to bear. What about your home Earth? And your home?

They are fine, I left a world without conflicts. My friends were happy and safe, so were my parents. They can wait. And if not... Well, a man has to do what a man has to do, this is a fight I would never back away from.
menial: (* once again not what i meant)

What exactly is the fighting part?

['Cause it seems to me like they have us completely outgunned.']

If they're keeping us captive, isn't getting out of here 'winning the fight'?

Depends on what you consider the "fight" is about. But we don't even know if the Malnosso are the ones bringing us here, the enclosure is theirs, sure, but getting out of it doesn't have to equal getting back home. We could very well end going from the frying pan to the fire, you have to keep in mind that there's always more than what meets the eye.

And having the Malnosso be the responsible of everything evil ever is... Too easy of a solution for my liking. It's not different from those who would say that all the bad things that happen to them are due a curse sent by a deity, while in reality it's a very human being the one responsible of them coupled with a series of unfortunate events. I suppose you could say that right now we're stuck in the waiting game, but if that's so, staying and waiting is the way to win the game, getting out is just the way to lose or forfeit.

Well, the curse by the deity gains a lot more credibility when you know there is a deity with the capability to curse you. Like the Malnosso. But you probably know more about the issue than I do. Personally, I'll take the loss if it means getting out of here.
