Creepy, isn't it.

[payback]

I wish these games didn't exist.

[underachieves]

It's bad for your peace of mind, yeah.

But on the other hand, it's important to think about the possibilities.

[payback]

I wonder why it doesn't occur to more people...

[underachieves]

The reason's obvious, isn't it?

[payback]

What?

[underachieves]

Most people haven't been through this more than once.

private to Shikamaru / moderate to hack

[... A little pause, as she switches to a filter.]

But it doesn't seem like Jack thinks about this stuff like this. Or some of the other people who've been through worlds before this one.

[underachieves]

I guess it's too much.

[payback]

I would definitely be easier to just not think about it.

[underachieves]

Especially if we're better off not knowing the truth anyway.

[payback]

Do you really think it might be like that?

[underachieves]

The last world I was in began to fall apart when we figured out it wasn't real.

[payback]

[Wow. Fuck.]

... And I guess you probably escaped when you ended up here, huh.

[underachieves]

Yeah. We barely made it out.

[payback]

What did that take? I mean, we're speculating about this, but the city hasn't fallen down around our ears yet.
