So all this tension between Wyver and Olympia and stuff has me wondering...

Does this remind anyone else of before a war broke out in their homes? Granted I was like.. a little, little kid when mine first started but I remembered this kinda junk going on.

Earthers vs. spacers even out in the streets, that kinda thing.

People acting like they're better than other people because some politician says so, or, you know, some legacy story that makes one 'better' but, you know, when a place is destroyed because some politician wants money or whatever everyone starts looking a lot alike, right?

Also curious if anyone's planning on joining up with one side or the other and why, if you are..

No ulterior motives and definitely not taking names for a roster for someone or anything, just curious on why a refugee would feel so connected to a place already or something like that.

We shall see, as always.

Sucks though.. the ball/gala thingy was pretty fun and then the friendly competition kind of thing turned in to a pissing match. Some of us just wanted to convince aliens to eat cookie icing straight.

... I'm afraid I missed that part.

[braidedwonder]

Wasn't anything too unpredictable honestly - He couldn't handle it and it was too sugary but I got a gut buster of a laugh out of it!

[nineteenfortyfive]

A good thing aliens aren't allergic to such things.

[braidedwonder]

You know I never actually thought of that? Definitely a good thing, though, on the whole.

Accidental sugar murder is not on my to-do list right now.

[ofobedience]

I wonder.

I take it you've decided against aligning yourself, then?

[braidedwonder]

Yeah. At least as of yet. Depending on how things unravel a guy can change his choices.

[ofobedience]

Just like that.

[It's not something he can fully comprehend, not something he can entirely grasp. Not when his entire existence has been spent in subjugation to the will of his creator, when - until arrival here - he'd made very few choices at all. Even now, aligning himself with Olympia, it's less a choice and more a continuation of what he's been made to be. He'd taken this job with the Guard because it felt closest to his designated purpose in his own world, and naturally loyalty and obedience follow. He's never learned, really, to be any other way.]

[braidedwonder]

I've learned what happens when you make snap decisions with bad intel. Not looking for a repeat on that.

[vorrutyer]

A paranoid man might read a threat into that.

[braidedwonder]

Have fun with that if that's where you're at.

Not really my line of work anymore and not aiming to go back.

[vorrutyer]

What, murder?

[braidedwonder]

Military-esque work just without the official association.

Probably the best way to put it.

[braidedwonder]

Can't blame you there. I'd be on you guys' side too, if it came down to it.

And, well, I wouldn't blame you of all people for choosing a side.

[galaxycannon]

thats god 2 no
i just dont
feel like fightn anymore so
hope we dont have to

[braidedwonder]

That's fair enough.

I got like this close to peace so I'll be real damn annoyed if I have to go back to fighting myself.

[ofobedience]

If you placed yourself in the hands of those higher than yourself, you'd have no need of making decisions at all.

[braidedwonder]

Yeah.

No. I'm good on that.

[ofobedience]

Well.

What place have you chosen to reside in?

[vorrutyer]

That makes you sound like an assassin. Or a mercenary, I suppose.

[galaxycannon]

yea
me too

but gotta do what we have 2
rite

[braidedwonder]

Let your imagination run free man. Just lets the legend build.

[braidedwonder]

Currently in Wyver.

They’re more like the people I’m used to.

[braidedwonder]

Yeah. Probably not to the extremes I used to go but.

Beggars can’t be choosers.
