Take the red pill, or the blue pill... [demon slaying 016]

Got a question.

Why aren't there more people trying to bust outta this place? Seriously, is there something in the water supply? We're TRAPPED in a City that we can't LEAVE except by the whim of some psuedo-psychopathic divine whateverthehells and why are so many people okay with this?

Christ, why am I okay with this?!

Not that you particularly care what I have to say but...

I'd say there's a number of reasons. But the way I look at it, it's more adaptation than anything else. You want to survive, you learn to work with what you got.

Probably most people don't see this place as too much of a threat. People come and go at random, so alot of them are probably hoping if they're good and all that they'll get sent home eventually.

[rev_it_up]

If you're so certain I don't give a shit, why are you commenting? Che'. Just because I think you're a whiny prancing twit doesn't mean your opinion isn't occasionally valid.

I did plenty of adapting back where I was from. I didn't need a refresher course.

But there's the thing - it's random. Being 'good' has nothing to do with it, from what I've seen so far. Some of the best people I've met here have been here for two years already.

[ride_a_chosen]

Because you asked a question. Sheesh.

I never said you did. Do you take everything as a personal attack or something?

Yeah that I don't really have a theory to. It's not exactly a logical system, is it?

[rev_it_up]

It was a general question. I'm not out to compel you to talk to me.

Not everything.

Nothing's logical about 'deities' drunk on their own power.

[lullabyoflondon]

I'm not exactly pissing myself with joy either, mate.

But, well, if I leave now, I'll never find out what the fucking hell's going on in this bastard place, will I?

[rev_it_up]

Right, and who are you again?

[lullabyoflondon]

Just some bloke.

John Constantine, if you want a name so much.

[rev_it_up]

... You're the mayo lube guy, aren't you. Greaaaat.

So tell me, Constantine, why the hell would you even care to figure out this place?

[suitcaseofnails]

I see your call and raise you ten, darling~

As for me, I have nothing to go back for.

[rev_it_up]

Heh, you trying to break the bank? I'm not exactly rolling in the multicolored monopoly money.

... yeah, I know. I'm not exactly itching to head home myself, but I'm also not keen on some Divine Power controlling my life.

[suitcaseofnails]

Still no luck with finding work?

I don't like it myself. But the alternatives do not look too good to me as well.

[rev_it_up]

Working on a business venture, can't remember if I mentioned it or not.

Makes sense. Either way, it's one hell of an experience.

[selfmade_story]

Or maybe everyone's just too lazy to bother. Ya never know.

[rev_it_up]

With this many people kicking around, many of whom are demonic, angelic or godly in their own right, I sorta find that hard to believe.

[selfmade_story]

Dunno about the first two, but gods or people who think they are are supposed to be immortal, aren't they? Maybe being stuck somewhere like this for awhile isn't so bad for someone who's lived for a really, really long time. I'd say the same goes for me, but I probably just haven't been here long enough to start worrying about it.

So people who think they're gods are the ones keeping everyone stuck here?

[rev_it_up]

Supposed to be. I find it hard to believe, myself. Nothing lasts forever, not even a so-called 'god'.

There seems to be a distinction. The 'in-city' gods are different than the gods that are like you and me and just sorta got dropped here.

[voice post] (That icon made me giggle. XD)

[foxy_physician]

Haven't a reason to stay, have you?

it's supposed to! XD

[rev_it_up]

And in a minute, I'm sure a perfectly adequate reason to tell a total stranger what you just asked will fall into my lap.

...

...

...

Hmm, nope, sorry.

Let's take it from the top: Who are you?
