Bad Decisions Have Been Made

[storytelleroftime]

THIS IS A PSA ON BEHALF OF TEAM ABSINTHE! MOSTLY ME THOUGH!

Please do not pull off blood sacrifice.

75% of the time that will fuck you over. Source on that figure: A retrospec employee who literally tripped and got stuck in a chest and we had to rescue. So his info might not be uh, the most accurate thing in the world but still.

But seriously don't. I lost a finger and I got nothing but dark miasma, everyone thinking I was a crazy person, and suffering. And only TWO of those are an ordinary part of my life. Nine fingered typing is infinitely harder than you would think it would be! It's really inconvenient and annoying. Along with, well, missing a pinkie. That's a bad thing.

So I'm putting this up here to make sure no one repeats my mistake, and at least, someone gets something out of this.

Oh, I won't deny that.

But really, my reasoning is quite simple, if you understand the full context.

[crudest]

yeah i caught it up above
you thought you'd sacrifice something to make yourself into a good person?
really?
have you never picked up somebody's pencil or anything before
helped an old lady cross the street
leave out food for a cat
you know, basic shit

[storytelleroftime]

Basic stuff like that just slips out of my memory. You can't cite incidents you don't remember, duh.

[crudest]

basic stuff is where most people get points for being a good person tho
unless you're a firefighter or something and rescue people from burning buildings on the regular

do you just like being dramatic?

[storytelleroftime]

It's a combination of that, self-loathing, and not at all caring about whether I live or die.

[crudest]

[that's all relatable content but - ]

think we're trying to avoid any casualties here
also you've got some young kids on your team
try not to traumatize them
it might cancel out your good deed back to ground zero

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah I might've done that already??? I don't really know.

But if you want me to be completely honest, I don't really care about being good anyways.

[crudest]

yeah losing a finger is pretty bad
but i wouldn't quite put in on the same level as someone dying in front of you
you know??

was the thing about wanting to change just bullshit?
no judgment but
quite an act

[storytelleroftime]

...Somewhat?

I acknowledge I need to change in a lot of ways, but becoming a "good" person in the sense normies mean it is not one of them.

[crudest]

oh
yeah
fuck that
most people wouldn't really know "good" or "bad" if it bit them in the ass

[storytelleroftime]

Exactly!

I'm so glad I found someone else here who gets it.

[crudest]

there's some of us

if people like following normal order good for them
but don't see the point in it really

[storytelleroftime]

Exactly.

Though, I suppose my motivations are just a bit more complex than simply defying normalcy. Then again... I suspect yours are similar, no?

[crudest]

who can say?

[he's down to keep his motivations vague - but this is too public and too soon after encountering a stranger for him to be okay with opening up so sincerely.]

everyone has a reason for something, right?
or at least a justification

[storytelleroftime]

Quite. And we all aren't too keen on revealing those little motives, hmm?

[crudest]

you could at least buy me dinner first
