Take the red pill, or the blue pill... [demon slaying 016]

Got a question.

Why aren't there more people trying to bust outta this place? Seriously, is there something in the water supply? We're TRAPPED in a City that we can't LEAVE except by the whim of some psuedo-psychopathic divine whateverthehells and why are so many people okay with this?

Christ, why am I okay with this?!

Ten bucks on alien mind

That's a good theory, but I really don't think aliens have anything to do with this.

[rev_it_up]

Does this tie back into the crazy alien-cat-nuns thing?

[hisplusone]

That was on a whole other planet, and time. These are just deities or so they have us think they are.

[rev_it_up]

Eh, they call themselves deities. I haven't seen anything in the way of Divine Proof, and even if they could conjure up some smoke and mirrors bullshit I wouldn't be impressed. The point of power isn't to use it against innocent people.

[hisplusone]

I can agree somewhat. I'm not really sure what to think of that lot. But as for a way out, I heard about someone on the network last week actually opening up a portal and going home.

[rev_it_up]

Huh, any idea who it was? I don't watch the network that closely, doing the whole touchy-feely involved-in-other-people's-lives gig isn't really for me.

[hisplusone]

Some guy named, Tony. Don't really know him, but just heard stuff.

Right because that would just be too girlie for a guy.

[rev_it_up]

Oh, I talked to him... once I think? Huh.

... It's not like I have trouble talking about my emotions. Did you not get the anti-social loner vibe on the whole 'let's spill our deep inner thoughts' day?

[hisplusone]

Ah...

Yeah I sort of did. But there's nothing wrong with talking with people now and then, you know. Never know what else you can find out.

[rev_it_up]

But he ended up back here anyways, right? So it's a quick fix either way.

I talk to people when I need to. I'm getting along just fine with you, aren't I?

[hisplusone]

Well yeah...but at least he ended up leaving for a bit which is more than most have managed to do. I still haven't been able to leave.

Oh we're getting along famously. I suppose everyone has their way of being yeah.

[rev_it_up]

True.

How long've you been here, anyways?

Famously, even. Well isn't that something.

[hisplusone]

Since November. Not as long as someone else that I know that's been here for a year now, but it's seemed like some time.

It really is, Nero.

[rev_it_up]

I know two people that've been here almost two years. It's just... unreal. And hey, longer than me. I just dropped in 'bout a month ago now.

... I figured you for the friendly talks-to-everyone sort, though.

[hisplusone]

Two years? That's just madness! Do they really want to get back? That's not too long, I can see why you want to go home though. The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave.

I have my days. If I talked to everyone, I'd have a lot of friends.

[rev_it_up]

Madness? This is Sparda.

See, that's the thing. Hell, even I don't want to go back - I just noticed that after the 'speak your mind' days, one of the so-called 'deities' made a post about how happy she was that no one seemed to want to go home, which got me thinking that there's something more to it than that. I'm not gonna go along with their little games just because I've made some friends here.

... Fair enough.
