ITP awkward signs oh boy

[certifiably]

[Today there is a probably awkward, probably intrusive sign floating above your head. For example:

ASK ME ABOUT SURVIVING HELL]

... That's charming.

((OOC: Awkward signs post! I'll probably tag around for a while but yeah mingle and all that jazz.))

[Ask me anything about my life]

*ignores it*

[ASK ME ABOUT THE INCEST]

*I'll ignore yours if you'll ignore mine.*

[justwannahave]

[We have the best coping mechanisms]

Hi. And how was your day?

[x_autnihil]

*they seem perfectly suitable to me*

Well enough. And your own?

[justwannahave]

It could be better, but that's always the case on a normal day at Camp.

Fortunately most of the smaller frustrations of this place fade in a brief enough span of time. And what would imprisonment be without a few arbitrary enforcements?

[justwannahave]

I have a job too--that makes extra arbitrary enforcements for the counselors even with counselling duties.

[x_autnihil]

That's right, this place is attempting to push people to live up to their "duties". I hope it will not be too much of a hassle for you.

[justwannahave]

I don't mind talking to people. And I suppose the little enforced chats are supposed to bring the introverts out of the woodwork. But it still doesn't make me think that Camp is any less skeevy for it.

[x_autnihil]

No, of course not. But by this point is there anything it could do to change that opinion? Even letting us all go would raise some awkward questions.

[justwannahave]

We still have no idea what all this is supposed to accomplish. Or what the counselors are supposed to do besides get increasing frustrated with our job scopes.

I suppose the sheer pointlessness of it all gets to me.

[x_autnihil]

Most of it is very pointless, isn't it? Trivial even beyond us being toys for some petulant child.

[justwannahave]

If they ever did tell us one day, chances are, some people would be beyond caring by that point.

[x_autnihil]

*short dry laugh* All too true.

[justwannahave]

And if we do get out, it will be a while before we stop checking our food really carefully on Tuesdays and expect gorillas for a morning wake-up call.

[x_autnihil]

If we remember at all, that is, or allow ourselves to accept this as anything more than an elaborate dream.
