[ katara is seated in front of the bonfire, cooking... well, fish. fish is probably like 90% of everyone's diet at this point honestly.

anyway, this is a good opportunity for anyone to come by. it's almost midnight don't expect me to write anything more eloquent than this dammit. ]

That's... not a bad way to see it. I can't say I know much of how souls work regarding machines, but they sure act like soulless beings, don't they?

[seaclipsed]

Yeah. Pal... more than Hal, actually, when you look at it.

[vipmix]

Hmhmmm. There's something unnerving in someone committing atrocities with a smile.

[he says, straight-faced]

[seaclipsed]

[ i hate u ]

Especially since he's not the one who does most of the talking from what I've seen. It's the other one who does that.

[vipmix]

But he's enjoying it from the sidelines regardless.

[seaclipsed]

Has anyone actually tried punching that one? I've only seen people go after Hal.

[vipmix]

I'd assume it'd end exactly the same way, but you can always try it if you're curious.

[seaclipsed]

It's less curiosity and just more that I reeeeally want to hit them.

[vipmix]

I can't say I wouldn't enjoy a few acts of violence myself [when will josh drop a vending machine on someone], but there's no point trying while we're still playing this game.

[seaclipsed]

If we can't hurt them while playing the game then what's the point.

[vipmix]

There's always an after.

[i mean implying people live through this but]

No, if there's anything that could work, it's easy to assume it'll take both coordination and the element of surprise, so a straight up punch is out.

[seaclipsed]

They seem to always expect us to go after them.

... although, has anyone made an attempt on just a normal day?

[vipmix]

Not that I can recall [its been three weeks fuck if I know], but I assume so long as they're aware, it wouldn't work.

[seaclipsed]

If I were them I'd just always assume someone might try attacking me.

[vipmix]

You'd have no choice, with a game like that. It'd need something rather extreme to get the element of surprise on them.

[seaclipsed]

Fine. Then we'll do something extreme.

[ like BLOW UP THE VOLCANO ]

[vipmix]

That won't get everyone killed? Sounds like it'll interesting.

[seaclipsed]

It's better than doing absolutely nothing.

[zia voice] sounds like it'll interesting WHY DO I SUCK

[vipmix]

I wasn't advocating for that. Just for a little bit of thought before trying anything.

[josh @ the living after hes dead tbh]

:)

[seaclipsed]

I'm not going to just recklessly rush into anything.

[ lmao ]

:/

[vipmix]

Of course not. I'm sure every decision you make in this place will be well thought-out.

[narrator voice: the next week, katara lost an arm]

[seaclipsed]

They will be! They have to be, for a place like this.

[vipmix]

Very true! But I think you were present enough on Saturday to know that's not always as easy as just saying it.

[whispers they got called out]

[seaclipsed]

[ ugh ]

I understand that he was upset, but... he also didn't say anything when other people went off topic.

[vipmix]

He didn't really say anything here either, so much as angrily punch a wall.

[shrugs??]

Though I was referring to how everyone reacted in general.
