Hello Cave-dwellers.

[Hadrielians? Hadrielites? Eh.]

I'm going to assume, since we have nothing better to do, that you've been paying attention to the wave of people offering up other people's junk. Praise be to our all knowing gods, airing everyone's dirty laundry all over the place or whatever.

[he pauses, quiet as he checks out the thing he's found.]

So this either belonged to a cop or someone with some really freaky tastes, but it appears to be a picture of an old dead guy hacked into pieces?

[this is fine this is absolutely FINE and not triggering in any way whatsoever to connor.]

In the interest of not traumatizing anyone, I'm not going to go flashing it all over the network but if you have reason to believe you're the lucky owner of some dead guy's photo, let me know.

Also - if this is some weird necrophilia kink, please, please keep that to yourself. I'm not usually here for kinkshaming, but that's pretty much where I draw the line.

I think if it was porn it would be a picture of a woman. Who wants to look an old guy, no matter how many pieces he's in? [ just saying. ]

Unless murder is totally cool where they're from and it's a cherished keepsake. Like how parents keep kids artwork. [ she's kidding, mostly. basically she just doesn't have anything helpful to say so making light of the situation is easier. ]

Wow, okay, not all of us like women. And some people are into silverfoxes.

[how did this even turn into an argument. connor no]

Ugh, I hope murder isn't totally cool where they're from. But I guess it could be some kind of weird trophy. Like mounting deer heads on the wall. Gross.

I know not everyone likes women. And you didn't say he was attractive, you said he was an old dead guy. I think everyone would agree a beautiful woman makes for better weird porn than some old man. [ this... is a weird thing to bicker about. ] But for the record I don't want anyone to murder me for pornographic reasons.

A lot of people here are okay with murder. I don't think they're into murder, though. Which is lucky for the rest of us. And we do have a couple people who are peacekeepers - uh, law enforcement - in their world.

Yeah, he's an old chopped up dead guy. Let's not forget the important part here. [and yet. and yet:] But that aside, I don't think everyone would agree that a beautiful woman makes for better porn weird or otherwise.

They're the people on the guard, right? [ i mean he assumes thats who they are pulling from ] We'd be in deep shit if anyone wanted to get murder happy in here. With the cave and all.

So are you saying that if he wasn't chopped up he would be your type? [ now she's just curious. ] How old is he? Was he?

Hmm - is anyone who they say they are or appear to be? And I'm not worried about anyone else. I'm not getting murdered, [ again ] no matter who tries.

I dunno, old dude might do more for me than some girl. [whatever!! hes just trying to prove a pointless point] No idea though. Way too old to be the subject of porn. Which. I can't believe we're talking about this.

So, okay, cool. [that's very hunger games of you] Everyone else dies, you become Queen of the hill. I know who I'm not seeking out if this starts to be like a bad horror film.

I'm just glad we got that settled. It's probably not porn.

[ she's grinning, and though he can't see it maybe he can hear it. ] When you're right, you're right. I look damn good in a crown.

[damn though he can't help but admire that confidence. even if this is about not helping your fellow man in time of crisis]

Dang, well, at least you've got the right attitude for it.

[ she laughs. ] Years of practice. Besides, easier to survive when you believe that you can.

This place must be like a cakewalk to you. Did you enjoy the dragons?

I don't know if enjoy is the right word. They were impressive, but more of a one-time-only-please-don't-come-back sort of appeal.

Do you have dragons where you're from?

No dragons, no zombies, no magic, no caves that trap you. I'm from a very boring world, evidently. You?

no dragons, no zombies, no magic, no caves that trap you. But we do have an evil dictator and an oppressive government with barbaric traditions. And a caste system. [ she learned that word from the C volume of an encyclopedia! ] People are the worst monsters, after all.

[dang good job cashmere real SAT words

her last comment kind of sobers him a little bit though and there's a pause before he replies]

Yeah. They're great at being awful to one another.

[ she's v proud of herself and her knowledge of things that start with the letter C.

her voice softens. ] Exactly. Zombies and mutts are nothing compared to what humans can do to each other.

Guess trapping us all together is their backup plan when the dragons fail.

Not a bad plan, honestly. Rage must love having us here. If... that's an emotion she experiences.

Damn, if I could only experience rage I'd want to lock up a bunch of people and watch them kill each other, too.

Right? Hope has his work cut out for him here. Hard to be hopeful when this place keeps being a nightmare.

What's the worst thing you've seen while you've been here?

[ she's willing to answer, but she doesn't want to rehash all the details for anyone to hear. especially since she knows plenty of people like to snoop on the network (she's one of them). ]

It's fucked up. How much detail do you want?

[which is smart. connor is definitely going to join the creepily reading everyone's posts club soon too]

I'd rather be prepared than not. So whatever's important, I guess.

Okay. [ she exhales. where to start? ] One day after I'd been here a few months, some food from home showed up literally on my doorstep. I probably should have been suspicious but they looked just like the meat pies my grandmother made and I was stupid and sentimental.

Then things got weird. My hair started to fall out. All the color disappeared from my skin. I couldn't think straight. A few days go by and we find out a bunch of us had eaten human meat. [ her tone is more angry than sad, like there's still some unresolved rage just under the surface when she thinks about what happened. ] Have you met Chris and Emily? In their world, there's something called a wendigo. And if you eat human, you turn into this monster and then - that's all you want to do.

[ she can still remember what it was like to feel herself slip away, replaced with something wild and animalistic. ]

They couldn't fix it. So they had to kill me.

[connor listens, really listens to what she has to say. she's strong, her anger is strong, but it still sounds horrifying all the same.

he's quiet for a long moment, trying to figure out what he wants to say. she deserves better than a lame quip.]

I guess Fear isn't fucking around.

Yea. They're really not. [ she sighs, and then chuckles a little. ] But hey, Delight gives us free alcohol, so we've always got that. Pretty good deal if you can look past all the tiny horrific details like eating human by accident.
