1.1.01.01.037: sacrifices for the good of the collective.

Sep 26, 2011 23:27

You know, ever since that port, I've been thinking about Violet.

( Cut for reference to sex with dubious consent. And I don't know wtf lj did to my first post. )

500 merits in the red, channelling winston smith, 86% red alpha kthanx, marriage markets do not meet trading sta, the colourman cometh, actually scarily manipulative, my dad wasn't so nice really, don't mention the rot

What the fuck do you think you're doing, you beiging idiot?!

needshumility September 26 2011, 22:45:46 UTC

Just... saying what's on my mind.

Why wouldn't I?

thebestnose September 26 2011, 22:50:19 UTC

Because it's stupid! For your sake, I hope that you're affected by whatever it is that is happening to everyone else. Making them say 'whatever is on their mind.'

Dammit, Eddie.

needshumility September 26 2011, 22:52:05 UTC

Is that what it is?

It doesn't seem unusual.

And... I said I loved you, what's wrong with it?

Oh. Young master Russett. You've certainly gotten yourself into a predicament.

needshumility September 27 2011, 05:23:15 UTC

Mister Russett, thank you. I've had an Ishihara. I'm not a boy.

I'm also not sure if I got myself into this predicament, or everyone else got me there. It certainly feels like the latter.

19centconstable September 27 2011, 05:27:35 UTC

I'm afraid you have. If you've gotten this girl in the family way there's nothing to be done about it: you've got to marry her.

needshumility September 27 2011, 05:30:29 UTC

She's only 'in the family way' because I was engaged to her. And part of the payment involved me getting her pregnant. No matter what I thought about it.

So I still don't want to.

Define "Mildew".

[He's going to try and salvage something out of this through all the mindshattering going on.]

needshumility September 27 2011, 05:25:57 UTC

It's a disease. You die of it - well, nobody ever dies of the Mildew, they give you the option of the Green Room instead. But you know you've got it because your fingernails start to turn grey, and you start to cough and you're done for.

The swatchmen can show you a colour to give it you.

My sister was given away in marriage when she was sixteen to a man 20 years older than her. It was for diplomatic purposes.

I'm sorry.

You could try assassinating your king.

needshumility September 27 2011, 12:50:14 UTC

I'm sorry about your sister. It happens to most people in our world, but usually for monetary reasons, or to gain or maintain a position in the social hierarchy. I didn't think anything of it until I came here, and then I realised that just because it's common doesn't mean it's fair. Or that things were always that way.

We don't have a king. I'm not sure assassinating anyone, except Violet or the Colourman could change this.

darknessb4me September 27 2011, 13:38:30 UTC

What's the punishment for breaking the rules?

Killing Violet's not a bad idea, if you can stomach it. Probably not. It would be selfish.

needshumility September 27 2011, 13:40:02 UTC

Demerits. Lose enough and you get sent to Reboot.

It would be. And would ruin other plans. It's the other plans which keep me from doing anything about it.

I'm not a fairy godmother here, but I think I'd like the job better. You two...

At least he had a way out.

The thought is appreciated, Chromie.
