[oh hello hadriel. it's "connor" but this isn't the silly laid back way he normally starts his posts, he looks very serious as he starts talking.]

Man, you guys are collectively the weirdest group of social media users. One day you're asking who ships what the next day you're making vague comments about something horrible someone did once. And it's always, "oh I couldn't possibly tell you what I did, but let me look for emotional support for my vast and intense guilt!" Please. You think you deserve sympathy for that?

[connor laughs, cold and bitter and shakes his head.]

I get it, I do. It's easier to not talk about it. Easier to live on the reputations you've built while you've been here and ask for help based solely on what people know than give up the ghost and actually show them the skeletons in your closet that you're so upset about. Maybe your friends will just imagine you cheated on your significant other once upon a time, or you accidentally lied to your mom, or you did something that, when we tell the whole story, actually sounds like it wasn't your fault at all. The kinds of things good people feel guilty about.

But let's face us - how many of us are actually good people? Why waste our time talking in circles about vague half-truths or covering our obviously deep-seeded issues with superfluous shitposting?

[he clears his throat and is quiet for a moment - dramatic flair, like he's about to drop some real truth bombs. (he is.)]

Here, I'll start: I killed my professor's husband with a group of friends. We covered up the murder like the good little future-lawyers that we are. We did a good job. We'll probably get away with it. Not that I'm likely to find out, since I'm stick here with all of you now.

[he's just going to let that...sink it. better to do it now before people start getting completely paranoid about the doubles than later on. but even if they figure out he's not his original - what does it matter? this wasn't some lie he was fabricating.]

That feels good, getting that out there. Now it's your turn.

This is shitposting, too. [ He killed someone with a group of friends? Sounds a little I Know What You Did Last Summer, without the slasher murderer and Jennifer Lovehugetits. ]

Yeah? So what constitutes a good post to you, then?

[ She hums as if she's seriously considering it. ]

Concise and useful are usually my favorite types. [ She shrug is almost audible. ] Not pitty shitfests.

Next time I'll just text post "I murdered someone" and get it over like that.

Man, see, that's how it's done. You murdered someone. [ She laughs, decisive. ] Were you scared? Or did you get excited? Let's get down to the good stuff, right?

Wow I wouldn't have pegged that as your kink.

What, don't want to get all that nastiness out of your system and spill those guts of yours a little more? [ That's the whole point of this, right? ]

I'm not opposed to talking about it.

[he pauses, trying to decide how to put it]

We were all scared - but that didn't stop us. We knew how to best cover it up.

Everyone thinks they know how to cover up a murder. [ Most of them get caught eventually, even if it takes twenty years for science to catch up to them. ]

My criminal defense seminar was basically how to get away with murder.

[ha ha ha title drop. classic]

Oh, fun. [ Truth be told, it's probably pretty interesting. Not that she'll ever get to experience the joys to college life; that's what happens when you go to school under a multitude of alias'.]

You're probably going to get caught one day, though.

We'll see. Kind of doesn't matter now that I'm here.

You won't be here forever. [ Snark. God damn, Sharon. ]

You really think we're going to make it home, one day?

People do go home. They come back, too, but they do go home. Maybe it's only for a few minutes, maybe it's a couple of hours, or maybe you'll be stuck home for years before you're brought back.

But it's not like you need to go home to face the consequences of your actions. I mean, you're basically being tortured on the monthly for whatever evils you've committed, so... [ Whatever, right? ]

Guess so.

[at least the real connor is and his double just gets to reap the benefits :') ]
