[Anon Text] Complaint #2

[brothersboots]

Who: Anonymous and You
Broadcast: Network wide text
Action: The Blameless, if you can see her
When: Today only

So, I've been here a while [a month] and I can't but notice that there's a lot of downtime, even when we're attached to a planet, or a bunch of rocks like last time.

What in the world is so interesting? There's only so much "bonding" anyone can take. Is it really that entertaining to those losers who supposedly watch this reality play thing?

[If anyone recognizes her attitude or her speakin/typing style, feel free to find her on The Blameless.]

I was just thinking the same thing, but I know some people who had incredibly crappy taste.

Or they just put us on for background noise.

[brothersboots]

It seems like a lot of trouble to me to kidnap a bunch of people for entertainment purposes if no one is watching us.

I mean, I already thought it was presumptuous of them to do this in the first place. For there to be nothing really coming out of it makes it worse in my opinion.

[moseyin]

Some people are just sick enough in the head to get off on that I guess

Doesn't really change that they could all use a fist or twenty to the face once we track them down.

[brothersboots]

I'm not at all surprised to hear that humans are that depraved.

[Her opinion of them couldn't get much lower, honestly.]

Why stop at twenty?

[moseyin]

Can't argue that. [Most of the shit he's gone through has been at the hands of humans after all]

I'm probably not the only one dying to get my hands on these guys, so I'm being considerate. If nobody else calls dibs I'll go for more

you can make your own entertainment

[brothersboots]

I could have done that at home.

text;

[sylphid]

sure but you're not home now

text;

[brothersboots]

Yeah, I got that when I arrived. Doesn't mean I like it. In fact, it's pretty much guaranteed to prove that I won't.

[sylphid]

are you determined to be miserable here?

[helmsplitter]

[mostly because you don't want him to attempt writing. He can do it, but it isn't really all that legible.]

Who knows, but it's borin' as hell. The least they could do is give us somethin' to fight.

text;

[brothersboots]

[Because she's enjoying the anonymous nature of it, no voice.]

We could always fight each other. That could be interesting. Except they took away our weapons from what I've noticed.

perma-voice;

[helmsplitter]

Yeah, they took away most people's weapons, but Maglor and that Sokka kid have got their forge almost up and runnin' so that should be gettin' dealt with pretty soon.

[He kept his weapon, but that's because it's his actual body sooooo.]

[brothersboots]

They took mine away, but I guess the joke is on them. I don't really need it as anything but a focal point, and not even then.

[ Best part of being an Earth Seraph is that you can use your body as a focal point as well. The parasol just has sentimental value attached to it. ]

Sokka.... that's the kid who's afraid of ghosts, isn't he?

[ This, this is what she remembers about him. ]

[helmsplitter]

Uh...I dunno? If he is, he hasn't told me.

[And it'd be a bad thing since a lot of people think spirits = ghosts here for some weird reason.]

So you use...some sorta magic, I take it?

[mrfancyhat]

Who cares why they find this entertaining? Would you prefer they throw us on a deserted island?

text

[brothersboots]

Actually, yes.

But, since we're wishing for pipe dreams, I'd rather they'd've left me on my own world.

[ As much as she dislikes Desolation, it's still home. ]

text

[mrfancyhat]

Please! A deserted island would be terrible. The only positive about it would be the peace and quiet, but if I couldn't have easy access to wine, it wouldn't be worth it!

text

[brothersboots]

That sounds like a personal problem. I would prefer the solitude.

[ It's done her disposition well so far. ]

text

[mrfancyhat]

We'll probably get to a planet of islands one day. When we do, just stay on one.

[maledictus_semper]

I know how you feel. Such pointless trivial pursuits spending time aboard a useless rock trying to impress the masses glued to their intergalactic screens. I suppose the interest comes from observing what we actually do.

text;

[brothersboots]

[ The rock would be preferable, thank you. ]

As far as I can tell, none of you do anything worth watching. Whining is something I have to deal with back home, without the free trip that I never asked for.

[maledictus_semper]

Nothing at all worth watching? Come now, there must be something that catches the eye of the Atroma and their avid viewers. Perhaps, a little murder or violence might catch their eye? If they're into that, of course.

[Don't get any ideas, Ardyn.]

[brothersboots]

I'm sure they find something worth watching, but some of us have the thought capability above a beetle.

And murder isn't entertainment.

[ A necessity, sometimes, but never for fun. Only sociopaths think like that. ]

[maledictus_semper]

Oh, I do agree. Those with above average intelligence make for better viewing figures. We're not all gifted with the brain capacity of a sabertooth.

[That's a beast from his world.]

It depends on the person I suppose and how the murder was committed.
