i've checked pretty much all the buildings, but i can't find anything. nothing on the city's history, even! you'd think they'd have something for us to go on.

[apocalypticals]

it is almost as if
we are being intentionally kept in the dark
which is pretty lame

[ethericbit]

i thought that was obvious! they aren't telling us anything, and they've never shown up. they're just using us for something!

[apocalypticals]

i think maybe
everything doesnt always go their way either
so were at the mercy of people
who arent in control either

[ethericbit]

well yeah, with people like us around it's never gonna go exactly as planned. which is a good thing, haha. we can figure them out.

[apocalypticals]

so youre suggesting
that we fight against the fate weve been given
?

[ethericbit]

well sure! it can't be as hard as you guys are making it out to be. the scientists seem pretty dumb to me, so they'll be easy to mess around with!

[apocalypticals]

i am not used to fighting fate
but since i no longer know what it is
i suppose i could try a new method

[ethericbit]

hahaha, see! it's that simple! this fate thing is way too complicated, anyway. if the scientists think they have it planned out, they don't know what i can do! or everyone else for that matter.

[apocalypticals]

you seem to have a lot of optimism
i like that :)
i dont know if i can give up on fate entirely though
i rely on it quite a bit

[ethericbit]

not really. i think everyone around here is way too optimistic about everything. it's not like we're getting everything on a silver platter.

yeah, isn't it some crazy alien thing? all of you are big on it, right?

[apocalypticals]

so what would you call it then
pragmatism?

i dont know if it is inherent to our race
some of us hold with it more than others
but i would say given what we have been through
we have strong reason to believe in it

[ethericbit]

uhhh that's being practical right? then yeah, that's really the only thing to be here!

well you and sollux seem to be pretty big on it, at least.

[apocalypticals]

i think you may be right about that

sollux is big on fate too
thats news to me
usually i have to convince him first

[ethericbit]

heh, really? he was all over it when he talked with me. i told him it was pretty dumb, but he got all mad about me being 'culturally insensitive' or some junk like that.

[apocalypticals]

well
its important
especially where we came from
it was massively important
i guess you could say

but i dont think youre
culturally insensitive
