[His voice is calm as he poses this question. It's a voice that wants to encourage discussion but not necessarily a heated debate.]

What is it that the United Earth wants from the Initiative that keeps us alive? That last curbstomping we received doesn't leave much room for debate about our chances.

Is it the tech? Are we a propaganda tool? An experiment?

Throw some ideas out there.

[And then the feed ends.]


[[OOC: Threadjumping and jacking are encouraged in this post! Blaine wants allllll the ideas.]]

Lying by omission is the bread and butter of the government.

[sweetling]

Or just lying by lying.

[strategic_guile]

It's hard to spin just lying outright, though it has been done.

But we haven't met yet. My name is Blaine.

[sweetling]

Halfpipe. Nice to meet ya.

[strategic_guile]

Have you been here long? Or is that cynicism natural? [He chuckling a bit]

[sweetling]

Hey, don't knock it till you try it.

I'm still pretty new, but I'm enjoying it so far.

[strategic_guile]

Oh, I've tried it. Sometimes it's a cozy mindset.

Enjoying it? Better than home?

[sweetling]

Well, pretty similar. But here it's all-expenses-paid.

[strategic_guile]

Having the bills paid is always a step up. Glad to say mine isn't as run down as this place, but the structures are pretty familiar.

[sweetling]

Better than here? Sign me up for a field trip.

[strategic_guile]

[Soft snort.] Sure, maybe you can come back with me. We'll go sightseeing and I can take you on the food tour.

[sweetling]

There's a food tour?

[strategic_guile]

Don't get your hopes up too high. I just drag you around to all the different places I like.

[sweetling]

As long as you have good taste!

[strategic_guile]

I definitely have that. You'll have a good time.

[sweetling]

I usually do, regardless of taste.

[strategic_guile]

See? Then my taste has nothing to do with it after all.

We'll make a date of it, if it ever happens.

[sweetling]

Of course~
