Is there anything good about the Initiative?

All I've heard about is what they've done to people here, not to mention their bringing us here in the first place. [ She exhales sharply. ] And making us fight for them is horrible when they treat all of us horribly.

As for these weapons... how are they supposed to grow with us? I thought it took a lifetime of training to be able to master something like that, to have a weapon actually grow with you.

They've armed us in the first place. We have places to stay and we're not treated so horribly. It could be a lot worse.

Not that that's great, I guess, but still. It could be worse.

[blondejokes]

That doesn't mean we should sit around and be thankful that it isn't worse yet. We have no idea what these people are capable of and we can't exactly fight against them if they decide to do something about us.

[payback]

Conspiring against them on the network they've provided is definitely an intelligent choice.

[blondejokes]

[ ... ]

Not when you put it that way.

[payback]

Try not to be too obvious then.

[blondejokes]

I'll keep that in mind. [ God, Rin, your logic! ]

[payback]

[She is a witch B)

Carry on Ino that's all she wanted to say UwU]

[blondejokes]

[ What, no-- ]

So you aren't going to tell me your name or anything?

[payback]

You didn't ask. [A

pause.

Is this a good idea? Maybe she SHOULDN'T tell Ino her name... no, no, that's too paranoid. Right?] I'm Rin.

[blondejokes]

I'm Ino.

[ See, that wasn't so hard, now was it? ]

[payback]

How long have you been here?

[It wasn't hard then Ino. JUST YOU WAIT...]

[blondejokes]

Only for a few days.

[ OH SHE WILL... ]

[payback]

Mm. So far the impression I've gotten is that they're more incompetent than malevolent. But I guess they've had their moments too, anyway.

So it bears watching. But I don't mind it so far.

[blondejokes]

Hm. You're right, but it seems like some people are fine being here. I can't understand that. Even if this place was a paradise, that doesn't change the fact that we aren't home.

[payback]

What if you don't have a home to go to?

[blondejokes]

Do you not have one to go home to? [ She hadn't really considered that option. ]

[payback]

What if what you thought was your home didn't really exist?

[blondejokes]

[ ... Oh. ]

I don't know.

[payback]

Right.

I've been through worlds before, and they've been able to manipulate memories. So...
