Cynicism Away

[ceasetoexist]

So.

Is anyone really stupid enough to buy into this garbage about buying cereal?

Please. Please say no.

... Well that's pretty rude. [NO SHE DID NOT JUST BUY 20 BOXES ALDGHAS]

It's true. Any idiot should be able to realize it's a marketing ploy. Especially with how this town apparently likes to mess around with us.

I've only been here a month, and I can tell that.

[optimystically.livejournal.com]

But how would some random marketing agency know what we lost?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

It probably isn't the agency, it's just the town messing with us.

It's giving us hope, then it's going to slam us down.

[optimystically.livejournal.com]

But we might as well try, right?

[tsunbowmonkey86.livejournal.com]

Do ya even need to ask that question?

... Those X-Ray glasses never work, anyways.

I'm taking a census. It's called "Who has half a brain, and who doesn't".

...They're as big a rip-off as Sea Monkeys, I know.

Guess you'll find out when people're runnin' around with superpowers and, I don't know, no eyes or somethin'.

What do they mean, "processin' fee?" I don't like the look of this... And since when have we had a post office?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Which'll either be hysterical or dangerous. Probably both.

Just what it says. Probably something they'll take from us. Who knows what that is.

You tell me. I've only been in this dump a month, but I didn't notice one when I was making the map. Don't really NEED one when there's nowhere to send mail to.

[tsunbowmonkey86.livejournal.com]

It'd fit the image they're tryin' to make, though. [a pause] I think I'll try sendin' a letter home, when this box thing ends. Just to see where it goes.

... I sorta hope the people with powers get somethin' important taken away. They're really dangerous. [so mad about Aisling, man.]

[defreezes.livejournal.com]

I really hope not. Nothing about this sounds savory at all.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. You get to join the club.

[defreezes.livejournal.com]

Not sure if we're a minority yet, though. Some people are catching on and debating the risks versus the rewards. Kind of depressing when you think about it like you're really deciding which limb to hack off first.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I'll find a way to keep all my body intact and reap the reward, thanks.

[defreezes.livejournal.com]

You can't always have everything you want. It's always one or the other.

[souris-keteer.livejournal.com]

Some things are worth the risk.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Not when the risk isn't rewarded.

[souris-keteer.livejournal.com]

I won't know unless I try. What's the worst that could happen?

[tempting fate, so, so badly.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

They take one of your body parts. Or something you already have as the processing fee.

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

Something about this certainly does seem rather suspicious~

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

It's a con. No doubt about it.

[doc-furcoat.livejournal.com]

Gives em somethin' t'do. If it blows up in their faces, even better, right?

[Might be buying some boxes too, just cause he's curious... and come on. His coat. HIS COAT.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm with you there.

I'm just seeing how many of them are big enough suckers to fall for this.

[doc-furcoat.livejournal.com]

Or hey, maybe some a us wanna see what happens, regardless. Kinda fun not knowin' what'll happen, but y'know it ain't gonna be good.

At least that's the feelin' I get from all y'idiot screamin' 'bout it.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm just putting my two cents out there.

Still going to laugh when everyone acts like they didn't expect what happened to happen, despite it being obvious.
