Who • Head Admin
What • A chance to see the Head Admin "in-person". May be cranky. Caution advised.
When • August 5-11
Where • Lumina Cloth
Content Warnings • Possible PKing (with player permission)

[ Any time between August 5 to 11, you may see a figure clad in a long black cloak with the hood up to obscure his face, either standing at random spots of the city with his 5' 10" height or sitting on a bench, being slightly less menacing. He stands out in a certain way, because his presence alone might be a little unnerving. He resembles what you would expect out of a grim reaper sort of existence.

Yet, if you check his character information, you'll see his level, class, equipment, and a very "friendly" blurb. A level 100... Harvest Cleric? Surely, that shouldn't be too scary to deal with, right?

Anyway, here are your options:

I ► You're here to talk about that weird quest. He will reject any attempts at being given the quest item. May straight up PK you without hesitation either way.

II ► You want to fight him. Maybe you want to launch a surprise attack on him or just straight up ask for a PvP round for whatever reason. Lumina Cloth is pvp-enabled for the entire root town, after all.

III ► You're not sure how to approach him, but you can hear him mumbling about a potato...

IV ► You want to talk to him about something else.

Wildcard ► Hit him up in-person or his inbox with whatever you'd like! I do want to note that every single in-person interaction has the possibility of him trying to PK you because he's a cranky and violent guy--yes, even prompt 4. If you would prefer not to get PK'd, please let me know in the comment header in advance, so that I can avoid that while threading with you! You can put anything you want under wildcard, including dragging him to the amusement park, but will he agree? Fuck around to find out.

He's just here to vibe. There will be no plot-relevant things here. ]

I sure am.

[ Is that a compliment? Insult? It doesn't matter. ]

When it gets out of hand, let me know so I can do it for you.

[conjecturecycle]

You'll help? For real?

[He sounds skeptical because he is.]

[selfconcept]

Yes, but I won't do anything about "swag wars". Only if they're breaking a forum rule.

[conjecturecycle]

What if they're intentionally trying to antagonize or disrespect me?

[selfconcept]

[ Hien dealt with that so he banned some people when he got pissed.

...

It's not like he doesn't understand, but. ]

Does it matter? You're just there to do your job. Don't fall for bait.

[conjecturecycle]

But if something more serious happens and people already don't take me seriously, they sure as hell ain't gonna take me seriously then.

[selfconcept]

[ Is it counseling time with a person who isn't suited to be one? ]

Then why don't they take you seriously?

[ Look for the answer deep within your heart... ]

[conjecturecycle]

How the hell should I know!?

[He refuses to look inward.]

[selfconcept]

Do you lack self-awareness? I know I'm a terrible person, but at least I'm aware.

[ And doesn't bother correcting things, but that's not his problem. ]

[conjecturecycle]

Being a good person ain't got nothing to do with it! If people only took the people they liked seriously, society would fall apart.

[selfconcept]

... That was an example. I know that being a good person has nothing to do with it.

[ Hm. ]

If you want to command respect by force, use force. Scare people. Use fear.

If you want to command respect naturally, you need more charisma.

[ lmao ]

[conjecturecycle]

[Well.]

I don't think I'm capable of the first thing, if I'm bein' totally honest with you.

And I don't have any idea how someone goes about getting "more" charisma ain't you just born with that.

[selfconcept]

Anything can be faked if you try hard enough.

[ But he gets it. Not everybody is up for that sort of thing. ]

Soft, aren't you?

[conjecturecycle]

I ain't soft, it's just hard to establish an intimidating presence when people think you look like a pinkie rat!

[selfconcept]

[ He thinks pinky rats are cute though... and Hien thinks he's a sewer rat, but that's neither here nor there. ]

Just don't react and use your customer service tone. They'll stop wanting to troll you eventually.

[conjecturecycle]

[HOW DARE YOU HE'S NOT A DIRTY SEWER RAT???]

They don't got customer service voice where I'm from. You got a problem, you shut up or get out.

[selfconcept]

[ NO HIEN HIMSELF NOT PETE ]

Do you want me to threaten them to be respectful to you?

[ No work, right?? ]

[conjecturecycle]

[Moderator rat duo....]

That'd be like the adult equivalent of telling the teacher and them then telling my school bullies to be nice to me. It'd make it worse.

[selfconcept]

[ :ratdance: ]

If it was me...

[ Hm. ]

I would respect someone who has proven themselves to be reliable.

[conjecturecycle]

[RAT DANCE???]

Okay I see the logic in that.


But it ain't happening.

[selfconcept]

[ ]

Is it because you refuse to work harder?

[conjecturecycle]

[Holy shit. Also wait. Does that make Hien the giant rat that makes all of the rules.

Anyway Pete thinks for a minute.]

I guess that's pretty much the reason yeah.

[selfconcept]

[ Maybe. ]

Then the problem just lies within yourself.

[conjecturecycle]

Thanks for yer invaluable insight, Socrates.

[selfconcept]

[ Without missing a beat: ]

You're welcome.
