And so the whining and complaining begins. So we start yelling and foaming and pointing out that yes, it is annoying to have fond memories - and not so fond - dragged out and bludgeon to death in front of others. The accusations fly, and words are tossed around, and again, we only prove one thing.

[ He is clearly not amused. The tightness around his eyes, the way his accent seems to have vanished, an edge in his voice instead of his usual soft purr. ]

We are spoiled children expecting the pony our parents promised is real and not a piece of molded plastic.

So. Continue the complaining. Continue the annoying disorder of getting nothing done but expecting it all to be perfected without any work. Go right ahead. Do nothing. Have nothing done but continual irritations to your state of mind.

[ Basically, if there was a more uniform presence between all these little groups people have formed, things wouldn't have been so traumatizing. That's his theory and he's sticking to it. But he has other matters to discuss. ]

Is there any reason to expect a better way to find dates on this miserable island? The dance music alone is more appalling than elevator music.

Why, that's precisely what I was wondering! It's always a pleasure to meet a like mind.

[onemoredeath]

Oh? [ A new name. Quietly, he is going to start a new folder. ] How is that?

[implying]

Well, I've heard the introduction and scanned this lovely network. But the one thing it was missing was any mention of dates. It seems rather like a serious oversight!

[onemoredeath]

They do that because dating is not their priority.

[implying]

Well, now I know this isn't my type of place.

[ Peeta sits there nervously, twisting his hands together ]

Did you...did you know him?

[ he sounds horrendously guilty ]

[onemoredeath]

It is rather boring despite that cries of paranoia in the air.

[ And Takegami is not. He just doesn't have that piece inside of him though he could fake it if he needed to. But his tone does smooth out as he tries for soothing. ]

Do not worry so much. It was a computer simulation made to fool the senses. We did not truly face anything but mere shadows of our minds. If it were real, would you not be recovering from your wounds?

I did know him but it's still fine. He was an asshole anyways.

Don't know what kind of parents you had, love, but mine didn't bear any kind of resemblance to a manipulative organization with a god complex; not even if you tally in our monthly allowance or free living space.

[implying]

I'd noticed those. A bit ominous, aren't they?

[onemoredeath]

Anything any government does is considered ominous if no one understands where they are coming from. The mentality of those in charge is better to understand if you realize that they are not use to people with their own wills and the ability to actually voice it.

[onemoredeath]

Most governments tend to see themselves as gods and that the people under them as being too stupid to know what is best for them. That is why this place is in such ruins as it is now.

As I have told other people, this is the lesser of two evils in this world. They at least are still trying to understand what a free will is and not brain washing us like the United Earth has done so to their people. After all, if they wanted willing peons from day one, they have the technology to insert a chip to make it so.

[totallytrustworthy]

And we're supposed to be grateful for that, are we?

I've more than a little experience with lesser evils, and it's never been pleasant regardless of the circumstances. Can't really blame these people for being pissed off about it.

[onemoredeath]

There are many things to be grateful for as there are many things to be mad about. The problem I have been seeing with this place is that most people are willing to slit their throats without first asking themselves how to work things to a more mutual understanding.

We want to go home. They want their world fixed. There could be a deal in the works, but so far, all there has been done is vague threats on our end and blotched attempts on their end. Getting pissed and lashing out is not the best way to install good intentions especially since we have committed assassination of their members before.

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh, I get it. You think there could be a reasonable compromise here, don't you?

Well you're more than welcome to try. I doubt it'll work, of course, but knock yourself out.

[wrexy]

Bad memories and whining about them. Good to know a few constants of the galaxy are still intact here.

[sacrificar]

You're rather talkative today.

[onemoredeath]

So fast to jump to the first conclusion you can reach? Compromises need work and vigilance. Expecting one, making one and then leaving it to rot is sloppy.

Do have fun trying to find a way out.

I think the universal truths hold no matter how far in space and time one travels in.

I take it you have only freshly arrived?

[onemoredeath]

I do feel more cramped then usual. It must be waking up with my hair messed up and not a pretty woman in sight.

[wrexy]

Hn. [Sniff of agreement] Did the yolk on my plates give me away?

[onemoredeath]

It is more your features. I do not recognize you so I must ask.

[sacrificar]

Run out of your drink already?

[onemoredeath]

No. At least my roommates tend towards plain beers and wines than the fancier drinks.

[wrexy]

Ask all you want. Doubt the answers will mean much to you if you don't recognize me already.
