What's the point of all of this?
Not on a philosophical level.
We're told we're entertainment.

What purpose does this serve?
I don't believe in coincidence or fate.
People make choices and we're here because of that.

We were brought here.
I want to go home.
Is that going to happen?

[ Shun doesn't expect many answers but something, anything, would help. Give him a little bit here. ]

Comments

lunch also works

ok then i suggest either calling me or i dunno we can talk in person
cuz i cant type all that out without some of it not coming off sarcastic when i dont mean it to

that part you can take seriously
cuz its actually serious just the rest is like leave it or whatever

[becomebetter]

Tomorrow?

Tell me some now and some later.

Then this isn't a game.
It's dressed up as if it should be but it isn't.

[privateeyed]

wait what
tomorrow what

[did he accidentally a lunch date??]

okay give me a starting point
you learn about the implant yet, thats usually where most people go first

no its not a game
its all fun and shit until some bullshit happens

[becomebetter]

[ He accidentally a lunch date. ]

Lunch.

I know about it.
Can we get rid of them?

Guess it makes better television if there's drama.

[privateeyed]

[how did this happen]

uh ok
why the hell not sure lets do lunch

no and i dont recommend you try
heard it ends badly

do they not have reality shows where youre from thats like a basic ingredient
drama and more drama

[becomebetter]

[ Don't ask him. ]

Noon?

Has someone tried to take one out?

They do but it's not like this.
People sign up for them.

[privateeyed]

sure
one of the bars or planetside

i mean probably
but i didnt actually go looking for proof
personal reasons and all

well yeah thats the difference
but aside from that its basically one here
travel to different places, poof drama

[becomebetter]

One of the bars.

Makes sense.
I'd want to see it for myself but that might not be possible.

And what happens if we don't comply?
They make drama and we don't engage in it.

[privateeyed]

space bar then
i can get us discounted lunch cuz i work there

you can try looking, its probably documented somehow
someone probably shouted about it when it happened

uh good question
i dont think anyone has been forced into anything like that? maybe ill test it out i hate drama

[becomebetter]

Fine.

I’m not sure I wasn’t to watch it but I do want proof it’s been attempted.

Don’t.
It’s careless to put yourself at risk.
We don’t make it easier for them.

[privateeyed]

you can watch whatever you want on the network
aint no rules against it

look i sit in my room a lot to avoid shit
if they havent forced me into shit by now then im the best person to test it

[becomebetter]

They leave all posts up?

I disagree.
Call it luck or it’s that common sense again, but you haven’t been forced into anything.
We should keep it that way.

I’ll do it.

[privateeyed]

as far as i know

its neither probably
just them leaving me alone cuz otherwise i got plenty of drama on my own
you just got here you dont even know what the fuck even goes on

[becomebetter]

So?
You're not in danger and shouldn't put yourself in harm's way to satiate my curiosity.

If they're leaving you alone it should stay that way.

[privateeyed]

not just your curiosity im curious too
doubt itll put me in danger
and if it does i can handle myself fine
security officer is a suitable job for my skillset

[becomebetter]

If you're going to do it I'll come with you.
I won't try to talk you out of it if you're convinced.

But it's irresponsible to go alone.
What is your skillset?

[privateeyed]

im just gonna refuse to do shit?? i dont think i have to go anywhere to do that
if you wanna come sit in my room sure
i got a dog he likes visitors

i know my way around guns mostly
was a corporal in the us army, few years as a cop

[becomebetter]

Sitting in your room is your plan?
You have a dog?

A cop.
My brother was a cop.

[privateeyed]

its a solid plan
yeah adopted him a few planets ago
so hes some alien shiba breed or something

was a cop, not anymore
where?

[becomebetter]

What's his name?

My brother had a dog.
Big eyes. Loud. Loyal.

[ Engaging sad Shun mode. ]

Was.
Tokyo.

[privateeyed]

gent
have a dog back home named lady
thought it'd be clever to make the names match

[ah, it's that kind of was]

gotcha
sorry for your loss

[becomebetter]

It is clever.
I’d like to meet him.

The world suffers for not having Takeshi in it.
Thank you.

[privateeyed]

you can
maybe after lunch

world usually does after that happens
older or younger?

[becomebetter]

Deal.

Younger.
Should have been older.
Behaved as if he was.

He deserved better.
Would’ve liked being here.

[privateeyed]

ha i know the type
not personally but

maybe
some people like it here
i think they're weird but i dont judge too much
