Some things worth noting:
1. You can apparently be brought back to your home world and it's as if you've never left it at all. You can be there for weeks, months at a time and then one day, show back up back here and it's only been a day or so here that you've missed. I don't know if anyone else has had this experience before.
It is unpleasant.
2. I went into the tunnels to see if they were anything like the Maze I know of back in my world. There's two interesting things worth noting. The rock inside of the tunnel is different than out in the main area. Not sure if anyone's noticed this yet. It's strange.
But there's something stranger that we found in the tunnels. Deep inside, a ways in, there was a burnt computer chip. Totally useless but it was stranger than the formations almost.
That's about it. I figured it's more valuable to pool our information together rather than hog it to myself. Not going to find any answers that way. In my opinion, if there's tunnels and tunnels made out of different rock then that's got to mean there must be some sort of way out of here. Or at least another place to be found. I didn't explore the entirety of the tunnels and I don't really want to but it is possible.
If you do, run fast, take weapons, and try to remember everything. Back in the Maze, we'd send people in and they'd come back at the end of the day and record the route they took on a piece of paper.
Maybe that wouldn't be a bad place to start. It helped us figure the Maze in the end. Maybe the tunnels will be the same.

sup, kid. I'm johanna and cashmere is right about something for once. I chucked that axe right into her chest. bam clean shot toppled straight into the water
fuck if I know why she's here now because if you saw all that blood you'd know that she was as dead as democracy
no subject
He'll go the blunt route.)
I had a bullet go through my brain so I'm fairly certain I was "dead as democracy" too. Can't figure out what I'm doing back either.
Guess this place is full of mysteries huh.
Johanna. I'm Newt.
(He'll hold back on the 'nice to meet you' just for the moment. Thing is he remembers Cashmere telling him that she was technically in an arena filled with kids fighting to the death. Doesn't really know where the morale in killing each other falls into their world.)
no subject
full of shit more like.
damn your name is so unfortunate I might just have to remember it
no subject
I'd be kind of concerned about your intellect if you had trouble remembering 'Newt'. But yeah, it's not really like I chose it. Not a fan either.
no subject
my intellect? fuck you, kid. you don't know shit.
[ The thing about torture via electric shock is that it isn't without side effects. There's only so many volts a brain can take before stuff starts going haywire -- stuff like memory. ]
no subject
(Yeeeeeeeeah no he empathizes with memory loss but he also has wrangled with enough dumbass boys with memory loss who feel the need to have superiority complexes and attitudes that he just.
Won't put up with this. Empathy or not of memory loss.
Also he's definitely not in the proper position as of the moment to bother with putting up with it. Short tempered more than ever.)
Why is it always the rude ones who get so offended when someone dishes it back to them? I'll never understand
no subject
listen maybe mommy never loved you or some shit like that but where I'm from we don't make fun of the side effects of people's torture. so if you're gonna do that go right ahead but forgive me if I don't send a lol and then look the other way
besides didn't cashmere warn you? I'm not fucking nice.
no subject
Okay fine. Then I'll throw it back at you. "You don't know shit"
I literally just got out of being bloody tortured. And yet I didn't assume you'd know that. Why did you assume I'd realize that about you magically off the bat? You made fun of my name. The name given to me by people who wanted me to serve as their personal lab rat for years. Yet here I am. Not blowing up on you for making fun of it. Amazing. It's like I wasn't going to jump down your throat over something you obviously wouldn't know. Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not funny to make fun of someone who can't even remember their mother? Oh? No? Sorry if I don't send a lol and then look the other way.
Do you want me to keep going on about what a hypocrite you're being or...?
(He's pretty nice but he's also not a doormat, is the thing.)
no subject
oh believe me I know I'm a hypocrite and you're by no means the first person to oh so kindly let me know. I make fun of everyone's name and if you wanna go ahead and take that personally I'm not gonna say no but honestly I expected you to be made of stronger stuff
you wanna know why I'm blowing up at you? because I'm fucking angry and where I come from that's not allowed. i played their fucking games and after I slaughtered my last fucking child I swore that I wasn't going to do what they fucking told me, and that included playing nice. I'm loud and mean but unlike cashmere over there I don't owe anybody shit
besides, kid, friends are a fucking liability. just look at the birds.
but hey, I'm almost proud of you. good job saying what you're thinking, kid, because I don't think you want to be anyone's goddamn prostitute either. literally or metaphorically
no subject
(Thing is, Newt understands where she's coming from. He gets it on a deep level that has him pausing a moment.
Then he decides on something.)
All right, then be pissed. Be angry and mean. You're right. You don't owe anyone anything, including me. Just like I don't owe anyone anything. Including you.
Yeah well I don't do so well on my own so I'll take my chances with the birds. Besides, pretending like you don't care about anyone is stupid. Don't let them take that away from you too. It's just one more thing they're in control of in that case, isn't it? They know you know that they can hurt you with friends. So they seclude you.
But they're not here anymore. So why isolate yourself? Don't buy into the paranoia they practically designed for you. I expected you to be made of stronger stuff than that.
I'd make a really awful prostitute.
no subject
I'm surprised you haven't worked it out yet: they did take them from me
and I'm not making any effort to get those people back
ahahaha I'm bought in to so much more paranoia than you fucking realize but at least I got my drugs. those things are made of the strongest stuff at all especially on days when you're sick and fucking tired of fighting for everything
so would I. that's the real reason I refused tbh. the sanity of my """"great nation""""
no subject
I did work that out, yeah. Kind of obvious. But I've had friends taken from me too. More than I care to count. But...it's good to have friends. Even if you don't make the same ones back. I don't even believe you that you're totally not wanting to make friends again. I mean, you're talking to me aren't you. If you really wanted to be alone you just would be
Guess if they work then they work.
Feel like we could bond over asshole adults.
no subject
do you want me to give you some kind of award kid? fuck you're worse than my head doctor from back home and that asshole literally suggested I join a crocheting club
that they do
bonding is fucking disgusting but I guess I owe you one (1) venting session. make it count
no subject
I wouldn't knock crocheting til you try it.
(Johanna he is fucking with you c'mon. But really. Crocheting. That's useful.)
And yet here you are. Indulging in some good old fashioned conversation. It's fine, really. I lay into my roommate enough for the entire world. How about you just give me your name instead? Fair trade?
no subject
[ is Johanna fucking with Newt? Who even knows anymore. ]
i don't think harassing people over the internet is good old fashioned conversation but ok
deal
I'm johanna
no subject
(Is he fucking with her back? Only time will tell.)
It isn't? That's how I talk to my roommate all of the time. We're best friends by now
Okay Johanna. It's nice to meet you.
(Sarcastic? Sincere? ?? ? Who knows actually?)
no subject
oh my god is your roommate the fucking asshole who promised cookies and never delivered
what a shithead
no subject
and yup that would be peter. asshole extraordinaire. at least he has a nice face. we can't all be perfect
but yeah he thought for some reason I knew how to make cookies.
no subject
i dont need another asshole with a nice face in my life i already got cashmere thanks
you poor thing. you have been wrongly accused. is there no justice in the world
no subject
Damn it I was really hoping to get rid of him :(
I have been. Glad someone's sympathetic to my lawful wrongings. This place is cruel.
