WEEK 2

[akudamods]

Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?

Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

INTERNET | SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

((Internet investigations of any kind go here, and for all IRL areas, please use "investigate" in the subject line of your top-level comment, or link the thread to a moderator!))

How would you put it then, cuttingedge.

"I prefer to focus my energy on more productive things, actually, so I'm really not interested."

[thefifthchild]

A bit of an understatement. My father got so wrapped up in a relationship with a career criminal that he went on a honeymoon with her AFTER she'd left him at the altar at the behest of my brother's killer, and while he was doing that the city and people he'd promised to protect were under the control of a tyrant.

My disdain for romance is more than just a preference, it's an observation that it makes people weak.

[And everyone he's ever had feelings for (two people) has inevitably abandoned him, so.]

[pr159]

Does it cause the oversharing of personal situations with people online as well, or is this a separate problem?

[thefifthchild]

Well, they're not my problems. They're my fathers. If he didn't want them to be public, that's on him.

[pr159]

Feels a little like yours too since you brought the dead brother thing into it, but if you say so.

[thefifthchild]

That's not oversharing, either. He never shuts the fuck up about it.

[pr159]

The point is none of us asked to be put in the uncomfortable position of having to listen to your family drama here.

[thefifthchild]

Whatever. It's just an example. The point still stands, love makes everyone act like complete and utter fools.

Look at this idiot, for one. Who talks like that. [He appears to be talking about the Matador.]

[pr159]

[ See, you could have just said that in the first place. ]

I'll agree it's pretty painful to watch, but that's just part of the presentation, isn't it? Not really getting those "romance drove me to make poor decisions" vibes you were talking about here.

[thefifthchild]

That's true. It's at least not based off one relationship.

Still, anyone who uses that amount of heart emoticons has to be diseased in some way.

[pr159]

That's fair.
