[The wall of text that springs up in the locked network is anonymous, the user just signed as "tg". It's probably obvious anyway to anyone who's talked to Dave a bit, even without his standard obnoxious custom font and shit, but give him a break. This is pure ulfiltered stream of consciousness.]

so ive been thinking
in theory this whole secret secure network is cool and all
like hell yeah got our shit on lockdown we are safe as fuck chatting away here
but im pretty sure most of us still have more reservations than an olive garden during the dinner rush
the waits an hour long and all we can do is sit in this shitty crowded lobby smelling that sweet knockoff italian grub
anyway the guy who put this whole thing together is probably cool and it doesnt seem like anyone code savvy has found anything to be concerned about but it still seems kinda unwise to put certain things in down in writing
like do we really wanna be leaving a metaphorical paper trail of revolutionary evidence just in case this whole program does get blown wide open somehow
and ive seen people stressing over the possibility of untrustworthy fuckers in our midst thatll sell us all out in a heartbeat for an extra pillow
ive been sitting here like shit man what can i even do to actually be useful right now and historically ive had a surplus of flighty broads constantly ready to answer that question
but its not like i can really be all that helpful if i cant even spell out exactly what i might be good for without basically drawing an arrow pointing directly at real life me
the point is maybe were better off talking some shit out in person where were arent leaving a written record and we can kick out anyone that seems sus
i heard the cameras in the training room dont work and it seems like solid info
we could probably orchestrate some stealth convos there or anywhere else that seems off the grid if anyones noticed anything
hell if we wanna get a whole bunch of people together we could probably just sit in a circle and if any staffers poke their heads in and ask about it we just say we put together our own lil group therapy thing
at least half of us are clearly in dire need of it so no one would question it
genius i know
anyway im just spitballing here in an attempt to feel at least a little productive
im open to other ideas just help me out

Trust has to start somewhere. I don’t put anything in writing that I’d let someone else get punished over, even though I trust the encryption.

There are some people here that I wouldn’t trust with access to facts about which cameras don’t work.

[turntex]

ok glad to know we were on the same page
yeah ill leave the vent scurrying to someone else

good to know someone uses their head to do some actual thinking around here

[turntex]

hey what else am i gonna use my head for
wait dont answer that

[turntex]

ok maybe we should skip the cagey bullshit
like i know thats the essense of everything going on here
all of us playing secret agent out here with codenames and dead drops and all that
but for real i dont even know what youre trying to say right now
i cant even tell if youre for or against this
do you wanna grab a goddamn hammer and start building some trust or are you anti meeting

[turntex]

ok sure
these fucks could be devious master manipulators and have bigger plans way down the road
maybe lure us into a false sense of security so they can catch us doing something more significant than goofing off during training
but if we barrel on down that road then where does it end because as far as i can tell that shit stretches out past the goddamn horizon
if we just dance around doing nothing forever just in case jorgwhatever has layers upon layers of secret plans to fuck us over then we might as well be doing nothing and they win either way

[turntex]

yeah that

[turntex]

okay so another point in favor of therapy circle subterfuge
i should be keeping a tally or something

What's a broad? Are they usually flighty? Are they birds?

[ Adora, that is not what you should be taking away from this. ]

But I think you're right, we definitely need to start planning and working on getting out of here. Somehow.

[turntex]

i mean yeah birds is a word you could use if you wanna be super old timey and corny about it

[princesspower]

Wait, what?

[turntex]

what

[princesspower]

Since when is "birds" old-fashioned? I didn't even know there was a new word for them!

[heterochrocatic]

okay i won't answer it then

[turntex]

thank you
so hypothetically if we can figure out a way to arrange and dispense meeting details without just plastering them all over the very network were saying we shouldnt put anything too risky on
are you in

[heterochrocatic]

i mean

yeah of course

[turntex]

oh my god
someone please come collect this child i cannot be responsible for this kind of innocence

[princesspower]

I'm not a child. What's that supposed to even mean?

no, not a seer. in my experience, the future is a vast and tangled wad of fuck-you that sometimes bites people who try and look at it.

what I've got is the ability to talk to and coordinate people and the information they have, as well as help them figure out the information they have that they don't know they have. the unconscious mind picks up a lot, but it doesn't always present the results to the conscious mind with a nice little bow on it.

also, sometimes people are morons.

[turntex]

ok well
i guess well put you in the running for leader of this whole shindig then
candidate number one for president of this particular dance party
gonna have to work hard on that campaign trail if you wanna convince the voters but i believe in you
assuming anyone else wants to be in charge anyway
any takers

[valkywhee]

Yeah, I guess master manipulators could probably keep their folding chairs from trying to eat people. The evil mastermind back home definitely has her stuff way more together than this.

[gempathizing]

I never understood the cake thing, either. It only started to make more sense once I had the cake here.

So I think I get what you're saying. It's a lot of metaphor, but it's consistent!

I could offer a shield bubble for extra privacy, but the thing about big glowing pink bubbles is that they're not exactly stealthy. More like a giant "a secret meeting is definitely happening in here" sign.

Can you use capital letters and punctuation so I can read this easier please? ｍ（．＿．）ｍ

i'm sorry setsuna

[turntex]
