And now we're just - stuck doing this every week from now on, because of an accident? And they have the fucking nerve to stand there and lecture us about how none of this would have happened if nobody died, like any of us fucking wanted this?
I get that sometimes there's shit that they can't talk about, 'cause something's bigger than them and what they're capable of. But they've gotta see they did a poor as hell job of reassuring anyone that they weren't out to throw us into a repeat of what we all just went through.
[ handing out powers? secretive groupings?? ]
And if they thought they were doing great, then I've got some news for them.
You would think they would just tell us that they couldn't tell us beforehand that something like this would happen instead of getting mad at us for not listening, or whatever the hell.
[Ugh.]
Like there's any point in yelling at us. We're the ones who have to deal with this, too.
Unless there's some crap in place where they can't even say that? [ who even mcfuckin' knows. ]
S'fine, there's more of us and we have double the reason to be pissed. If they were trying to de-escalate the situation, then there were about fifteen things they could've done differently.
The secrecy ain't gonna help there either. How're we supposed to pinpoint when a power was used, when we don't know what they are?
[ one guy could curse things? another could spread rumours? and someone's out there making people paranoid? how the fuck are they meant to pinpoint things as a power, let alone attribute them to someone? ]
It would be easier if we could all just tell them up front, but of course we're going to get some bullshit punishment that they can't even tell us about if we do.
[Ugh.]
Don't get me wrong, my last rodeo sucked, but at least we wouldn't get a slap on the wrist if we talked about our roles with someone we trust.
It's stupid either way. It's like we're being punished for trusting people, you know? And not just the kind of consequences that usually comes from trusting people too much.
[She frowns.]
They keep talking about residuals from the places we came, but they said the consequence we get isn't going to match anything we're familiar with... It's weird.
Yeah. I know a lot of people came from somewhere with, like, nice and helpful hosts... I just worry they're going to trust them too much because of that, you know? And take everything they say at face value.
Maybe? I can’t say they won’t. There’s always someone who trusts and tries to befriend them immediately, but there are always people who don’t trust them until the 11th hour. For every person taking their word as gospel, there’s someone scrutinising it.

Right? Seriously, I don't think I've heard of even one that was designed to actually help somebody.
