WEEDS

[You're in your barn! That doesn't seem so bad--oh, oh wait, you're in the air.

Your barn/clubhouse, and honestly some of your stuff, is just floating on clouds. You can walk on the clouds too if you want, no one's stopping you. You will not, however, be able to return to the ground, far, far below you, no matter what you do.

At least not til the Ritual is complete.

Floating among everything else are various crystalized weeds, and the Snake as well, who seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After a moment, you hear voices resonating from the crystal weeds--the holy beasts, their voices and minds melded as one, call out to you.

It asks you three simple questions.]

Despaaaair. Is chaos. Hoooope. Is boring.

Therefore, despair wins every time!

That's stupid.

And it ain't even true? Despair can mean givin' up and doin' the same thing over and over. Hope can be tryin' whatever wild thing you think gives you a chance. Seems like that way 'round is more likely, actually.

Great... Then you can head out when we're done here.

Well, if you're going to beg me to stay, I guess I can stick around a little while...

Despair is not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow. Hope is having a goal. Hope is doing the same puzzle forever. Despair is flinging all the pieces up in the air.

If "hope" is doing whatever wild thing gives you a chance, that's only because despair already crushed you into being desperate enough to do it. --Despair still wins.

As for the second question... I've never known anything to be fair in my life.

Pretty sure that's not what those words mean.

Oh, I can assure you, they are.

Heehehe.

Re: QUESTION THREE

[personal profile] hotnbothered 2024-10-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
This place was completely infuriating! I was trapped away from everything I knew! I lived in a hovel with barely a furnishing in sight for months! I always had to worry if I was going to get killed as part of some ridiculous ritual! I was constantly dealing with the consequences of you lot being completely unable to deal with your own messes!

... But I don't regret g-getting to know some of the people here. Or trying to make something of the Weeds. ... So the answer is no. I don't.

Mmm . . . I suppose if you put in one answer, I could put in the other.

And we can both veto anyone who tries to override it.

I regret nothing, though I suppose some may regret my being here.

That's fine.

Well, whatever. Don't really matter what you think about it, or what random word you've decided is "winning."

Re: Gen

[personal profile] stirtheblood 2024-10-25 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, don't think that's even possible. Everyone's gonna have their own idea of what "fair" is, to start with.

[ A beat, somewhere between a hesitation and a thoughtful pause. ]

Well, we should everyone's opinions out first, at least, but... yes, that seems reasonable. I can handle the first.

Very well. Once everyone has weighed in, I will respond to the second.

Yes, I agree. By all means, try to change the world.

There is no fairness, here or anywhere. Everyone is just out for themselves, really. That's simply how life is.

Re: QUESTION ONE

[personal profile] hotnbothered 2024-10-26 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
If you ask us? No, because you can't so easily categorize who is and isn't a danger. That's just a way for people to delude themselves into thinking they're somehow safe, or that they're better than others.

That said, there isn't really a "should." Decide for yourself and do what you want.

... Well, Queen had some other opinions about outcasts forming their own society and plotting revenge, but she has no shortage of insane ideas.

Strangely...we don't.
