OTA TEXT | SO WHERE Y'ALL AT????

[sometime on the third, all the names of people who were sent on group missions (obviously au names only) will be released onto the network for IC knowledge. everyone will be able to see this post if they glance at the network, whether they're in the city or away on groups!

however annotated next to the groups will be the information that group one is going to pesgare, group two is going to respartum, group three is going to bosuma, and group four is going to magatus.]


if you didn't get a call to arms here's the copypasta:

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.

You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is [INSERT RANDO HERE]. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the [LOCATION] and we'll go from there.

You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

hard to do work when you don't have info right
carly's more useful than expected
but he said don't get distracted

anyway
the more you know and all that


[and that's the message!]

[ OOC: please use this as an open mingle for whatever purposes you need! unless directly addressed, baren won't be responding. he just bugged carly for info and shared it. if any adjustments need to be made, lmk!

edit: almost immediately after the initial post goes up, Matt Murdock's name will be edited out into black squares. ]

thats like saying a village can just appear overnight which only makes it MORE suspicious in my opinion

i guess? so people bother me because i'm too lazy to tell them to go away

i just let them do what they want

if i was mean, actively so, they would leave me alone

I suppose. :)

That's correct.
But they already know who you are.
If you suddenly became actively mean, they'd wonder why that is and attempt to help you.
Your exhaustion would win out and once more return to drawing people to you.
As tiring as it is, I can say most that come to you have good intentions.
Their intentions are to help you because they view you as a good person.
Hardly a negative.

what if they were all wrong and were seeing something which never was there to begin with

It is there, Howard.
You can only ever call out to someone if something inside you is true.
No one is ever fooled long by a lie or a mirage.
The relationships that you have -- they feel real to you, don't they?
The truth in how they feel and how you feel -- it is something that cannot be dismissed.

you say that but like there are serial killers who fooled everyone into believing they were regular people

i dont know what feels real or not

i just like them but i dont know if its because i just an afraid of being hated

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly don't mean anything so dire.
But what I'm trying to say is that you aren't a person that could fool others.
You simply lack that capability.
You're too honest and I suppose that, too, is what draws people to you.
You like people and are afraid of being hated.
It doesn't have to be a "because" situation.
It can be both.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Most people don't want to be hated, after all.

[ KILL BILL SIRENS. ]

We'll talk more when you return.
I feel like this is just stressing you out more.
But so long as you like people, even in small amounts, that's worth celebrating.
It means that you still want to connect to others.
You're doing better than you think you are.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-06 05:00 am (UTC)(link)

Thank you.
At the risk of sounding disingenuous, you're a good friend, too.

I'll look forward to our chat, and ensure that the alcohol is good and not something too foul-tasting.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-07 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
i trust your taste in alcohol so i think it will be okay

and thanks for thinking of me as a good friend. it means a lot

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-07 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
One hopes.

Of course. I am certain I am not the first or last person to think of you as such. Even with your laziness, you always make an effort for us. So... thank you for considering us worth it.

[.....]

humanity has its good qualities i guess

i can't exactly pass on that

but that's nothing to thank me over, really. doesn't everyone feel like they at least have to put in a little effort in some places?
livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-08 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad I could convince you as such.

I suppose that you're right. But what we decide to put our effort into says a lot about who we are.

Maintaining balance in my life. Friends, clients, regulars at the restaurant. Ensuring everything is taken care of. I suppose I would say that what I put my effort into is being a meddling person.

being a meddling person?

so you live vicariously through others?
livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-08 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
In some ways, yes.
My nihilistic view of the world makes it difficult sometimes for me to be part of it. But I do like seeing how it is like for those living in it normally.
