[ 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. ]

[seaclipsed]

... okay yeah, fine. It's a little much.

[vipmix]

Thank you. Was that so hard?

[seaclipsed]

It's not like she can defend herself here.

[vipmix]

I think she's well aware of her shambling corpse status and doesn't care.

[she threw her arm in the oasis?]

[seaclipsed]

I mean, she'd probably care enough to insult us, which still counts as caring, I think.

[vipmix]

Hmmm... Isn't insulting others her default? So long as she's not threatening murder, I think she's still pretty neutral.

[seaclipsed]

... she does threaten to do that a lot doesn't she.

[ and this takes place before she almost burns them all alive so ha ha ]

[vipmix]

[she threatened to burn josh but like. shrug emoji he can do that himself]

So far, yes. But who knows? Maybe she's all bark and no bite.

[seaclipsed]

[ it must be nice to be able to make those kinds of jokes now ]

Anyone here could be like that, honestly.

[vipmix]

[ITD BE NICER IF THIS THREAD STOPPED]

That's true enough... but I wouldn't count on it.

[seaclipsed]

[ no ]

So you think they're going to bite.

[vipmix]

Like cornered animals.

[seaclipsed]

Is that how it went in your game? From what you've played so far.

[vipmix]

Players weren't pitted against each other. [ ... well, not that they knew of :'') ] Winning wasn't as much of a zero sum game.

[seaclipsed]

Huh... so what did you go against, then?

[vipmix]

Hmmm, well... The people who run the game, creatures called Noise who can erase Players... And a deadline. There's a mission every day, and failure to complete it within the given time means erasure. That's about it, I believe.

[he says. like he doesn't run it.]

[seaclipsed]

Huh... what kind of missions are they? Are they difficult?

[ it does sound pretty different from this, yes. ]

[vipmix]

It varies. [wow. such detail. much explain.] Why? Interested in playing?

[seaclipsed]

Hm, I think I've had enough games here.

[vipmix]

I thought so. [shrugs] There's really nothing for you to gain from it, anyway.

[seaclipsed]

Except for a knowledge of technology that is absent from my world, I guess.

[ computers............. ]

[vipmix]

The variation in technology across the board is rather fascinating, isn't it?

[...that's not what she said at all]

[seaclipsed]

Most of it is going straight over my head, if I'm honest.

[vipmix]

Well, of course. You don't have any example of it... or anything to compare it to.

[seaclipsed]

I would say I could go home and help make technical advances with all this information, but I don't even know what most of this stuff even looks like.

[ all she's seen is a mp3 player and it just looks like a tiny box that makes sounds. ]
