because I can’t blame them

[malta]

Listen, there is a difference between blame and accountability.

If you want to take accountability for this, fine, then we can figure out as a group, how to get you guys out together and it is on you to use this opportunity to figure out a different way because now this is in your arsenal.

Blame is pointless and self-righteous. It allocates fault and shame and not a single person in the universe is faultless. Blame doesn't lead to anything getting better.

[morethan084]

youre right

[Even if it's hard for her to admit. But she needs to put blaming herself on the back burner. At least until they're all out of here.]

they took away our powers

[Oh, right. Yeah, she's got powers.]

which makes escape not so easy, especially when there's guards on duty at all times

but they also didn't take our weapons

[malta]

One of our contacts down here seems to have the orb and has used it already to get others out of the dungeons, we may be able to convince her to do so again.

[morethan084]

i heard about that

seems like a risk for her to try on her own when we've got guards watching us at all times

[malta]

Never met someone Andy couldn't convince

[ convince, threaten, are they not the same thing? ]

[morethan084]

i dont doubt that

but i think we should stay on her good side

[malta]

How better than to deliver her more people on her side?

We'll keep it on the back burner, just in case.

[morethan084]

seems like a risk for her, people might start to notice depending on how good some people are being subtle or not

[Daisy debates whether to send what she types out next, and she knows she should just contact Andy herself...]

hows andy doing?

[malta]

Antsy. I don't know if she's mentioned it but Andy is older than the concept of heaven and hell itself

[ both of them are so vague but it isn't like joe actually knows how old she is himself so his vagueness is mostly unintentional. ]

[morethan084]

yeah she has

which is still crazy to think about

[malta]

Grows easier with time

[morethan084]

and you've got way more time than i do

[malta]

[ that doesn't grow easier, knowing the people they care about will age and wither and die, that they will outlive any children they come to care for or look after.

but that is too heavy to think about in this farce of an afterlife so he refuses. ]

I don't know what you're talking about, Daisy, I'm 33

[morethan084]

plus what? a few hundred years?

[She has absolutely no idea how old he is, just that he's likely to be old.]

[malta]

Would you really like to know?

[morethan084]

[Daisy sits up straighter. You've got her attention.]

are you kidding me?

yes!

[malta]

Turned 954 this past winter

[morethan084]

holy shit

happy birthday

[malta]

Thanks, Nicky and I played skee-ball

[morethan084]

that is probably one of the most old timey things you could say

is nicky the same age as you?

[malta]

He was born three years after me but we came into our immortality together

[morethan084]

how?

[That was a dumb question.]

I mean. I know how, but, Andy said it was rare.

[malta]

Physically, we killed each other

Metaphysically, I have theories but I don't know if I can explain them succinctly via text and I don't know if these earpieces are capable of my tendency to turn letters into Dostoyevskian novels

-> audio

[morethan084]

[Daisy changes the settings over to audio instead,]

I'm not sure what a Dostoyevskian novel is, but I'm guessing it's long.
