Sooooo.

Here's a bit of an awkward question:

How many of you guys have someone you don't exactly like holed up in one of those pods? And I don't just mean like "wow that guy's a dick" I'm talking more along the lines of "this guy is a GIANT dick and he will definitely try to kill us [ read: him ] when he wakes up."

Is there any way to...I don't know, pull the plug out of the pods? or something? Do you think we'd get in trouble for that?

[ A little casual accidentally-on-purpose murder never hurt anyone right? Like especially when it's for the greater good, which this totally is. ]

They do haul you away from the area for that, yes.

[rhygret]

Really? Well that sucks. Guess it makes sense that they wouldn't want anyone down there messing with stuff. Don't suppose there's any chance of putting in a...request? To maybe have them not fixed up?

I'm so glad this is a conversation that multiple people are having.

The answer's no, unless you really, really wanna die and think that's worth it if Ultimate Scumbag is removed from the equation.

[rhygret]

Wait what do you mean die

un: aceofhearts

[exorion]

pretty sure that's a big "no" on the "is this okay" scale

[rhygret]

Okay but like killing one person who'd kill a ton of other people is a little worth it. Right?

[laveers]

We cannot hurt them while they are asleep.

[ oh yeah she already tried. ]

[rhygret]

So what, we just have to wait for them to wake up??

[kissintime]

holy shit yes there are SO MANY FUCKERS in those pods i saw!

i actually asked uhh the guy? sael. i asked him about this and he said anyone on thesa is protected. so i dont think they're gonna let us pull the plug.

[that thread for ooc ref.]

[rhygret]

Wait wait wait you actually got to talk to one of those guys?? You didn't just hear them in your head for announcements?

Could always try the whole don't ask permission, ask forgiveness angle. Or forget the second part anyway, forgiveness is overrated. Will say they aren't super pumped about firing off magic in there, and I wasn't even trying to blast any fools.

Or just wait til they get here, then shoot them in the face! Just saying. Doesn't seem like that big a deal.

[rhygret]

Okay that second part sounds good? But I am not exactly good with guns of the non-fictional variety. They are actually muuuch more likely to shoot me before I shoot them.

The moment you start down this road is the moment you put everyone up there in danger.

Don't.

[rhygret]

I mean. It's a little late for that, technically speaking.

un: zhar-ptitsa

[gitanes]

yeah you'd probably get put away but would it be worth it? that's the question

[rhygret]

I mean, kind of? Not the me getting put away part but the rest of it would be pretty nice.

[ aka the part where the other person dies ]

[earthy]

there are definitely some people in those pods who shouldnt have been saved from the storm

dont know what to do about it

the worst one ive seen is a very old man though

if people continue to age in the pods

[Problem solved.]

[rhygret]

Huh that'd actually be a pretty nice way of handling it if that's how it worked. I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but. Still would be nice.

Yes, and I intend to remedy that problem.

[ He's not smart enough to come up with an actual successful way to do it, but he's stubborn. He'll stand watch until that person wakes up if he has to. ]

[rhygret]

Cool so do you have a plan or

[ One that hopefully doesn't upset any inter-dimensional space gods, preferably. ]

un: scarlet

[yourhatred]

It's possible they're there for the sake of another refugee, if not for you. If that's the case, you would be giving someone else a reason to cause an uproar and everything goes downhill from there.

Please try not to be shortsighted.

[rhygret]

But who would WANT this guy here?? He's a literal psychopath who tried to create a robot army by sticking metal skeletons in people! I don't know about you but that's pretty bad to me!

text | un: TeaOnRice

[gekkajuu]

Yes, there is someone like that. But we made a promise. He shouldn't kill anybody, even if he wakes up.

Enough people have been lost to the Storm already. I don't think killing more would be a good idea.

[rhygret]

Okay, but you say that as if getting rid of this guys won't actually stop him from killing more people. Like a lot more. Stupid amounts of more, actually.

[jelmazmo]

There are several someones I would happily see dead currently asleep in those pods.

Should they wake, they will die.

( Revenge is wasted if the offending party has no idea who's making them suffer. )

[rhygret]

Oh so you're actually doing the waiting thing? Apparently that's okay or whatever. Weird huh?

[ Dany, he likes the cut of your jib. ]

text, un: youngsouldynamite

[nakatsu]

won't that kill them??

[rhygret]

That's sort of the idea, yeah.

[clobbers]

This is fundamentally WRONG.
But also a really stupid idea.
You're talking about it IN PUBLIC.
If anything happens, people know who to point fingers at.

And again: WRONG. They might never wake up anyway.

[rhygret]

Hey I think being killed sucks as much as the next guy alright?? But this guy is Bad News, like can't even tell you how bad it would be if he woke up and just got to do...whatever!

And anyway I'm not dumb enough to use my real name, come on. It's anonymous for a reason.

text | un: tentacleTherapist

[knitpick]

I haven't searched through all the thousands of pods for familiar faces so i can't say for certain if there's anyone amongst them I know to be a threat better put down immediately.
I wouldn't be surprised, though.
That just seems to be the way my life has gone lately.
However, I'm not surprised that they won't allow any of us to play judge, jury and executioner like that.
After all, perceptions of good and evil will vary from person to person and were the positions reversed, the one you want to kill might have the same thoughts about you.
Would you really want the power to decide who should be killed off in the hands of those who just happen to be awake sooner?

[rhygret]

Well...yes? I'm awake and that's kind of the point right now. If I can stop him before he becomes a real problem isn't that like...the right thing to do? Objectively. Nit morally or anything but I'm not as worried about that right now.

We're talking about a guy who literally wanted to kill me so he could shove a metal endoskeleton inside my body and wear me as a suit.

we have to wait until they go planetside
then we can kill them

[ murder is very in right now. ]

prepare yourself

[rhygret]

Ooooh isn't there like any sort of way to just...I dunno, not wait? That long? He's sort of a better fighter than I am in that I am not actually one at all, and getting into one with him would probably end with me dying.

Kind of the opposite of what I'm going for here.

Try an insane psychopath who wants to kill you and shove a metal skeleton in your body.

Yeah. Not exactly "fun."

[refashioned]

Props to you for both realizing that this was an awkward question and having the sense to be anonymous about it.

Less props for the whole part where you're down for killing. And announcing it. That sounds like a sure way to promote paranoia among the masses.

[rhygret]

Oh come on it's not like I'm going around doing it to everyone. I don't even like it! It's gross and nearly impossible to get those kind of stains out of your clothes.

No, this is just one guy that we would all reeeeeally be better off without.

Are you ... asking the mob to validate your attempt at murder?

[rhygret]

I'm asking to see if anyone's actually been able to do it I guess? Like it turns out that they don't really want you to off anyone until after they wake up for some strange reason.

Aliens, amirite?
