MAC ANU ~ GANYMEDE'S MCMANSION

The everpresent afternoon sunset hangs, echoing picturesque across the glass windows apparent at each spot within the large building. In a large room full of tables and what not are heaps of various cuisine settled here or there. Seafood, pastas, drinks, the like; Mediterranean style so if nobody likes that...gomen.

Ganymede has made it clear that he prefers people to be here in order to get themselves together. Sorted, somehow. They're all acting with a sort of independence he seems disinterested in disturbing, but he wants the prospect of potential solutions to be floated along.

If someone has new information they can share, well, it is encouraged. If not, he hopes that they will at least participate in some way.

It now begins.

(( OOC Note: People will not be attacked by monsters once within the McMansion, including pool area. ))

...he would have. [Sinclair glances over at Misteaks (before you know the scuffle)]

These things tend to happen to everyone.

[Sighing.]

For what it's worth? I haven't heard any voices, either.

Really? ...you do seem pretty resistant to a lot of these things though.

Wait, what do you mean, resistant?

You weren't bothered at all in the unnamed town when those original whispers were happening. You seemed to shrug it all off.

Oh.

Yeah, I'm kinda getting the vibe that my life isn't nearly as bad as like, literally everyone else here. So.

["""Resistant."""]

...Um. I guess there are some things that make us more vulnerable than others.

No offense, but I don't have any dead family members, so that gives me a head start on a lot of people here.

...it probably helps, a little. If you're mostly happy with your life then... you're probably not going to listen to mysterious voices.

Whoa, hold up, who said I'm happy with it?

I'm just way less traumatized.

...I was trying to avoid that word.

[ Yeah no he's traumatised and he's very aware of it]

Well. Someone's got to be able to keep their head, I guess.

It's pretty helpful.

[ Powerhouse Swallow]

I expect everyone to clap and praise me for the hard work if any of us get out of this alive.

They do?

[...

Uh-oh...]

Edited 2023-10-13 04:17 (UTC)

Yeah. Some of us aren't really bothered but...

[ For others...]

...

Why would they mess up my memories...?

[He likes himself, sure, but he doesn't think he particularly stands out compared to the others.]

... I don't know. I think that's only something you can decide, based on what you know.

[He falls silent, thinking on what the others have been saying.]

...I think... right now, I'm happier than I was when I wrote those forum posts. Finding out that things outside could be really bad outside... It's scary.

That's... that's the reason why I don't really want to leave.

...do you think you could have learned to be happy though? I mean...the people who care about you now cared about the 'you' in the forums too. That wasn't a lie.

Edited 2023-10-13 06:04 (UTC)

Maybe. But... that's not really what I meant.

If they don't want people to leave this world... doesn't it make sense to make the real world scary?

...maybe. But everything is scary if you think about it. Why should that stop us?

It didn't seem like the me who wrote those forum posts was afraid of being hated.

[But now he is. He's terrified.]

...I do wonder what it's like to have that kind of confidence.

[No matter how hollow it was]

Even I don't know.

[Not anymore.]
