DAY TWELVE

[judgejudy]

DAY 12 Complex Population: 13 You wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. However, it's completely dark. There's only the rumbling of a generator, and it's not clear what time it actually is. Maybe you should step outside to see what's going on. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard

TOPIC: what to do with judy's brain

[selfsufficiency]

this is for everyone not just the dead

it looks like removing her brain bought those of us who are still alive some time without her breathing down our necks
but it's also wrecked some things for the people who are dead

we're going to have to figure out what to do with it and since it's going to affect us all in some way or another, i think we should put it to a vote

so everyone, say what you want us to do with it and why

[adlucem]

I vote to try and put it back, but only once most of you are out

[selfsufficiency]

this is what i was thinking too
she probably wouldn't try and follow us out... i think

[becauseimacoward]

There's a chance it would. Who knows how this whole brain/technology thing works. Judy could have a trump card, for all we know.

[...]

If we're going to put it back then let me do it. Everyone else can get out while I put it back.

[adlucem]

[Dojima...]

are you sure

[becauseimacoward]

I am.

[Don't get him wrong, he won't exactly lie down and let himself be killed, but he isn't exactly...um...jumping at the chance of having a long and tortuous life out there. He just doesn't feel like he has the strength for it, not after how Nanako, the whole town of Inaba and pretty much everything he had and cherished is gone.

If he survives, then so be it. Fine with him, and he'll try to survive outside. And if he dies, well, at least it was to let everyone else out]

[selfsufficiency]

that's kind of you

[Alice just doesn't really understand people who are willing to give up their lives for others. She never has and probably never will.

...but she can't deny that it's kind.]

[unnames]

... Thanks.

[He doesn't know what else to say, really; after facing Judy once and ending up with his injured leg, he's not keen to do so again. But Dojima...]

Really... thanks.

[jackhole]

fyi once you leave you leave, she has all your code and will wipe it lol

[selfsufficiency]

so you're saying if we die out there we won't end up stuck in there with you
even better! just thinking about spending eternity in the same place you are is making me sick

[jackhole]

yeah preeeetty much!! hahaha!!! we'll have creature comforts while you go to sleep in a nuclear apocalypse, unsure if the memories you have are your real life or your fake life that judy made up for her entertainment

isn't that

so

awesome :D

[ he's feeling petty, let him be ]

[adlucem]

remind me to punch you once everything comes back

[jackhole]

LOL YOU CAN'T I'M DEAD, FUCKER!!!!

[adlucem]

And?

[selfsufficiency]

at least our futures will be real once we're out there even if we don't know whether or not our pasts are

YOU'RE too much of a coward to face whatever's out there
you'd rather stay in there in you fake little world because you're not strong enough to deal with it all
that's why you said you wanted us to kill you before we went through with this wasn't it?
because
you're
WEAK

[jackhole]

IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HURT ME? i'm perfectly fine here!! i have nothing out there ANYWAY. i was an asshole before i got here and i'm an asshole here and jack's even worse! the only thing i care about is angel being able to have a fresh start out there instead of this fantasy bullshit land. we deserve it, she doesn't. i'm perfectly fucking CONTENT otherwise.

and here's another thing that you assholes didn't bother to ask! once you leave, you can't come back! so say your fucking goodbyes to your dead friends because you're never going to see them again or judy's gonna kill all of you for breaking the experiment

WHOOPS

[heroizes]

I am not "even worse" screw you

I'm a friggin saint compared to you dickcheese

for alice: just fyi here keep arguing if you're feeling it but he's an idiot and arguing with him is about as productive as arguing with a brick. the brick actually might formulate a better argument because we're heading right into the "no u" territory just saying.

[selfsufficiency]

i can see how much it doesn't hurt you
it hurts you sooooo little that you just can't help yourself from screaming at the top of your lungs about how much it doesn't hurt you
either shut up or stop being surprised that we're not responding well to you

we didn't HAVE to ask that because it's pretty obvious you know
we know we won't be able to come back here. WE KNOW THAT.
that's why the FIRST thing we started asking about was if there was ANYTHING that could be done to help the people we were leaving behind before we go
if we thought we were coming back here this message board would be full of WE'LL BE BACK FOR YOU and WE'LL USE WHAT WE LEARN OUT THERE TO KEEP IN TOUCH
idiot

[unnames]

what really??? what was even the point of all of this if you think we're just going to die anyway?!

[jackhole]

[ oops, hey jeff. ]

no, no, no!! you're getting a chance at survival and some of you, i don't care if you do but some of you i do care and think you should be offered the chance instead of forced into the fantasy. duh??

like you're decent enough so why not make the choice to survive out there and question your memories or die, know everything, and live a fake life? you should be given that choice, bro

[unnames]

honestly you're ridiculous.

whatever. either way we're gonna be fine, just watch us

and... thanks for helping out with all of this, or something like that.

[selfdenying]

And? You expect us to CARE? I'd rather die out here surviving instead of living forever in some little fake barbie house on a damn computer!

[jackhole]

well you're GONNA at this rate, pal!!!

[selfdenying]

I'll take a death in my flesh-and-blood body THANKS

Though we are human, right??? I mean modified memories and all and computers uploading our minds kind of is way too weird

[jackhole]

i mean yeah? probably? like 90% likely, they probably just modified your memories with gas... or drugs... or whatever. i kind of forgot to ask.
