CIRRUS NETWORK

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with the biggest smug grin plastered on her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in green also.]

Ah, Cirrus, still mad that you can't take our stories, huh? Even though we're all gone now, you still can't leave us alone.

That was a tragic but unavoidable consequence of you being bad.

I really feel like this is a you hurt yourself in your confusion situation.

Your 'punishment' was 'be nice'.
ahahadotwav: is in plain sight, second best place is under a big pile of leaves. (the best place to hide something)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] ahahadotwav 2025-03-15 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, because obviously an actual punishment wouldn't dissuade you from pulling this shit again? Being nice probably won't either since you don't give a shit about how the rest of us feel, but at least it'll show you that we do care about what happens to you.

I'll be honest.

There's probably nothing you could ever do that would dissuade me doing what I want to do.

Sorry.
ahahadotwav: i lie about things that are cool, like that i have a pet baby stegosaurus that i can't show anyone because the government will take it away. (that's not something i would lie about)

So we can't ever trust you and will probably have to restrain you in any future games. Good to know.

That's why I told you, trust is about being able to read people. If you turn off your brain because you 'trust' someone, you'll be blindsided every time someone's interests diverge from yours and they follow what is obvious to them.

And if you only worry about me, you'll be caught just as off guard next time it's someone else.

Listen to me, Booker Storm. I know you've been through some really horrible shit and you think you can't trust anyone because everyone will betray you. I understand that. It's fine.

But that does not give you the right to betray the rest of us. And even though what you did here wasn't a huge betrayal, it was still a betrayal. If you truly believe it's impossible for any of us to rely on each other or be honest with each other even enough to keep it together during a game? If we're going to have to live with the knowledge that one of these days we'll all eat shit not by our own choice, but by yours? Then we can't have you here with us at all.

...you're getting the wrong idea.
ahahadotwav: think for a longer amount of time than that, that is my advice to people who want to become as smart of a genius as me. (don't think for a second)

Re: DISCUSSION

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] thefaultinthestars 2025-03-15 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Call it a betrayal or not as you like. I only did what everyone does and what everyone will do. No amount of guilt tripping, talking about trust, holding hands or team work or anything else will change the fact that everyone has a line where they do what they think is best even if it means misleading, lying to, or harming others. And they might be doing one of the two to avoid the other.

The most recent person to remind me of this was Rakshasa. So it makes me a little nervous to hear you talking about trust so aggressively.

Don't trust him, don't trust me, don't trust anyone on Cirrus.

Just figure out what makes them tick.
ahahadotwav: what am i going to do about it, listen? not a chance in the world. (people can say what they want)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] ahahadotwav 2025-03-15 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
In a previous life, there was someone on my team who had that exact same attitude. She got us all killed.

So no, I'm not getting the wrong idea at all. And I'm not interested in anything else you have to say.
