I have seen some discussion concerning the people who are still in pods and it has led me to wondering. How would you handle someone you have unpleasant history with being here?

Comments

[maipokerface]

Stay away from them for the most part. I mean what else could you do?

[jensaarai]

My concern is less about avoiding them as it is about being avoided.

[maipokerface]

In that case stay away from them. If they want anything to do with you, eventually they'll talk to you.

[jensaarai]

Between this small world and the station, there's only so many places to go. They aren't particularly the talking sort, either.

[maipokerface]

And? Just because you're in a small space doesn't mean you have to acknowledge each other. And if you press the issue, do you think it's going to win them over?

[jensaarai]

So the orbiters just dumped us here and don't care if we kill each other indiscriminately?

Well, technically they're already all here. Just not awake yet.

As to how I'd handle them, now that all depends on the person, doesn't it?

[maipokerface]

The way I understand it they want us to fit in with the populace. If we're down here murdering each other, I doubt we're fitting in.

So is that what the deal is with this mystery person? Is it the two of you running around,
trying to do each other in?

Kill them.

Define unpleasant.

This has been discussed several times.

[ Not long ago, "kill them should they deserve it" would have been a quick response, but it's not one he can make now. He didn't have the nerve to actually kill who he planned to kill when he did show up. Bit too late now. ]

[jensaarai]

And we are discussing it again. [Really, he's shameless.] What would you do, personally?

[jensaarai]

Awful personality, smells bad, would probably put a dagger in my back instead of the courtesy of facing me. Annoying, mostly.

[He might be lying in some capacity.]

[jensaarai]

I suppose so. If they're only mildly a nuisance, live and let live. But if you absolutely hate them, then what?

[jensaarai]

I suppose if the person is an issue enough, the repercussions for it do not matter.

[moneytwin]

[ One of these things is not like the other.. o/' ]

Well that's a whole range of possibilities right there.

If they're just annoying, it shouldn't be hard to just avoid them.

[ what a fortuitous coincidence, this post...

she's already read some of the other responses, so of course rey has an opinion. ]

i'm in that very position, with someone who's awake and not in stasis. i've already had a run-in with them.

[ it didn't exactly end with flowers and a heartfelt apology, either. ] confrontation will be an inevitability.

[jensaarai]

Or we are, it just wouldn't be fitting in with the more upstanding people.

The other person is unstable and holds a grudge for something they don't fully understand. In theory I can avoid up until the point where it is no longer possible, and at that point difficult choices would have to be made.

[jensaarai]

[Details, details.]

What if you want to avoid them and they don't want to avoid you?

[jensaarai]

[LAUGHS. SO MUCH. FOREVER.]

How did that turn out for you? Do you think a resolution is possible? If not, what can be done?

[reek]

Whatever the situation should call for.

[ Just don't let yourself get gaslit. ]

I trust you should know better than the people you're addressing.

[jensaarai]

Of course. I'll make whatever decision best aligns with the specific circumstance. However, there is little harm in seeing how others handle these sorts of difficult situations.

[moneytwin]

That's a little tougher, depending. Is it, they have a crush on you annoying, or they think they're your friend annoying?

[jensaarai]

It's really confusing, but at the very least they seem to be determined to be a part of my family.

[invariances]

[ HE'LL GET HIS. JUST WAIT. ]

it didn't turn out so well, for me. he's a lot more powerful than when i last crossed swords with him.

and i don't see any sort of resolution happening; he's a murderous psychopath who butchered his own father in cold blood.
