So. Okay.

I can't be the only one finding this hysterical, right? I mean you all do get what's going on?

It doesn't really matter which one we choose, we're getting used. It doesn't really matter if we pick Lucy or the Postman or whatever. We're just being screwed around with either way for the other to get what they want.

And you know? Even if we do pick the Postman? No guarantee we get to go home, or leave, or whatever. As far as we know what the guy summons may be something just to kill all of us. Lucy's a godawful little witch, but at least we know where we stand with her most of the time.

Really, I just think it's going to be awesome to see what happens next. So, which one of the two are you morons going to let yourself be tugged around by and side with?

[ While she may be a child, the voice on the other end of this conversation sounds more like an adult. ]

He claims to have our best interest at heart and yet he uses a slip of the tongue to attempt to turn us against each other. I'd be interested to know what they hope to accomplish through such a tactic.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Considering he's more or less managed to live 400 years through time travel shenanigans? Not too bizarre seeming to him Rika.]

I'm still not convinced this isn't a big con game. Until I get some actually proof the guy gives a crap about helping us, I'm not believing jack that he sells us.

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

I will not deny that theory. Though I cannot bring myself to believe he has any interest in helping us. I do not believe any such proof could exist.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Agreed. He's self-serving and a manipulator. We're a means to an end above everything.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

You do realize, there is the option to just ignore both sets?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Wow no crap. You're not too quick, are you?

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

You're the one implying everyone will choose a side. So please do not act as if I'm stupid, when it was your own phrasing that implied this.

Oh, and if you're going to say we have to, well I won't.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Most will. Just like they did the last time. Watch.

You're not getting what I was doing. It's called an insult. No. I didn't say they have to. I'm just saying that going on past experience? They're likely to.

[yournewoverlord.livejournal.com]

You know, that's exactly why I voted no. Even if he's telling the truth about profiting from emptying Mayfield out, it's obvious he'd just kill everyone. It's not like everything he does here establishes that he hates us personally or anything.

Morons.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Until he gives us some proof to trust him, we have no reason to trust him. As far as I'm concerned, he's either as bad as Lucy, or this is still part of a con job to screw with us.

They aren't going to learn. If they try this again, watch. They'll fall hook line and sinker again.

[yournewoverlord.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. How long does it take to figure out that nothing good happens when one of these smug bastards goes on TV or the radio or whatever and makes flimsy promises?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Really, it's kind of a blessing to me. It shows me that no matter where they are or go, people are gullible morons ripe for conning.

[onteamdyson]

You have a fucked up definition of awesome, kid.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

But there's also the chance that what happens next is going to show us a weakness of one or both our enemies. And that is awesome.

Assuming, of course, that the Postman really isn't working with Lucy.

[onteamdyson]

Power struggle, huh? Hot. I can dig it.

Let these two freaks take each other out and we move in for the kill?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

That'd be great, but it's unlikely to happen. I ain't convinced these jerks are really working against each other yet. And if they are? Forget 'em. We need to take both out anyway. Because I doubt one will make enough room to take out the other personally. Or at least won't yet.

[souris-keteer.livejournal.com]

I had a feeling it was too good to be true.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Of course it was. Why would anyone believe that?

[souris-keteer.livejournal.com]

Some people get desperate, they'll believe anything.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. That's why people are stupid.

[ponypuncher.livejournal.com]

S'life for ya, kiddo. Ya've got yer fighters 'n yer cowards. Ya should be askin' which one these people are. If ya opt t'go home yer pretty much a coward, but if ya choose t'stay yer wantin' t'face the bastards runnin' this place. I just checked one o' the little boxes t'humor 'em all... T'be honest, my 'modern' English ain't that great!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I dunno. They may not so much be cowards as idiots.

That being said? I didn't expect anything good to come out of it anyway. I'm kind of thinking forcing our way out is the only thing that's going to work.

[ponypuncher.livejournal.com]

They think gettin' outta here s'as easy as votin' fer somethin'. Sounds both cowardly and stupid in my point o' view.

So... Like a war.

[Hey Pokey. You have a baseball bat tied with a leftover Christmas ribbon leaning just inside your front door.

Slugger kept his word.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Oh boy. The baseball bat Slugger used to bludgeon him to death. He will cherish it forever.

By which I mean he's putting it in the back of his closet and never looking at it again.]
