[inaccordant]

Not at the moment.
I'm aware.

[goalsides]

still just as bad at accept check-ins i see
but good
did annie or riku fill you in on what happened?

[inaccordant]

Yes, Iris and I have been told.

[goalsides]

what do you think? about everything that was said and done?

[inaccordant]

I think a lot of people might lose heart from what happened, but if anything, it just proves all the more why we have to solve what's going on and tear it down.

[goalsides]

i was really hoping you'd say that
we know an idea
but now we need to find a new way to get information from that idea
it's not painting the administration in a really good light either

[inaccordant]

What's the idea?

[goalsides]

no i mean...we know why this is happening at least
otome-san said they're doing this to save people from this world
so we at least know the world itself is the problem
so wouldn't the idea then to be finding a way to change the world from taking what's ours and replacing it with wiwaldi memories?

[inaccordant]

Yes. It's just a matter of figuring how to do that, now.

[goalsides]

...can i ask you something?
is it possible that one of the dorm heads is working with the group who's trying to save everybody?

[inaccordant]

It's not impossible, though I assume that if you're asking this, you have reason to suspect it's the case.

[goalsides]

i really doubt they're organizing and doing all of this by themselves mostly
it's too precise

[inaccordant]

Maybe so.
Another reason it's probably best not to trust us, then.

[goalsides]

maybe not
but what makes you think that that person also isn't doing it to try and help
or for a greater reason than "just because"
it's been over a month now, i think we can kind of safely say none of you are evil enough to kill just because you can.
i think maybe after this started, when we were all brought here, one of you was assigned a job to make some of us kill other people in order to try and salvage things
maybe i'm wrong
i don't know

[inaccordant]

Even with good intentions, if you know it'll hurt someone, then you have to take responsibility. It doesn't have to be condemnation, but you must face your consequences.
Does knowing the possible motive ease your grief?

[goalsides]

do you want an honest answer, or do you want a short and easy one?

[inaccordant]

The honest answer.

[goalsides]

ok
i think knowing the possible motive makes it easier for me to understand because i've been there and done that
i understand accepting responsibility and consequences
and it's why i want to help them just as much as i want to help everyone else
it doesn't sound like they really have much of a choice, even if i do think consequences shouldn't be forgotten
i don't think anything is going to really ease my grief for years because it's not just grief for the people who are being killed, it's the people being put in these stupid situations too

[inaccordant]

Then it sounds like regardless of who's involved, the solution to the problem remains the same.
Find out the root cause.

[goalsides]

i'm trying to put together the information we have
buy documents from riku, whatever
but the root cause right now is just "jilted producers with a cancelled tv show" and that doesn't sound right
i want to find the root cause
i just also want to know if those people will also be okay when we do find it, especially since people can apparently be punished for us interfering too much

[inaccordant]

Do you know what both groups received on Thursday? I've only seen one so far.
It may help if things proceed as a group. It was likely a simple enough matter to punish Otome for a transgression, but I doubt they can easily do the same for all of us at once. Not because anything stops them physically, but because it probably doesn't serve any purpose for all of us to be dead.

[goalsides]

i only saw half from the group that went to the moon (maya, nier, leo, tsuyukusa)
did you see the other half or the same half?
i agree though
a group would be best but i don't know how to make people trust each other enough to do that
...do you think otome-san was punished because she told all of us in a group?
maybe if she or the others told us one at a time and we started sharing into that way, or shoving papers in lockers like other people are doing, that would work?

[inaccordant]

I saw Maya's.
That'd only work if we were positive that this happened because she told too many at once. In the case that it was because the world hadn't even been aware of her motivations until then, then I suspect that having the info spread like that would still incite a similar response.

[goalsides]

if i get the other half anytime soon i'll shove a note in your locker
but okay, like...the problem we're running into then is we really don't even have a way to test it without possibly killing somebody else
otome-san seemed to imply she knew there would be a punishment if she didn't go around killing people
but the punishment for saying something surprised her too
...if you have any idea on how to make the world stop listening in and be sentient, i'm open to them

[inaccordant]

I don't have any.
So, I would say that the solution isn't to test anything out, but to decide when we're confident that we have what we need to win and have resolved ourselves to face any consequences that may occur.
