Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

[anon]

[muroieda]

he's not a great conversashionalist but that's okay. actions speak louder than words!

[anon]

[iustitiae]

or you'll get to go home soon

[anon]

[manspreading]

[anon]

[muroieda]

hate to want to drag him here but mizery loves company or whatever

we'd make the best of it

[anon]

[manspreading]

[ So sad when you're down one bro... :'( ]

(anon)

[avephoenix]

I miss mine too :c

(anon)

[muroieda]

this place is weird but it'd be fine if i had the company.

do you think yours would handle it okay?

(anon)

[avephoenix]

Yeah, I do. We'd support each other and work together, just like back home

But we, as in, you and me and everyone else, we have each other. That's not so bad, yeah?

[anon]

[manofmettle]

I can commiserate with that. I don't want any of my friends to come here, but a friendly face goes a long way in facing hardships and adversities.

How long have you been here?

[anon]

[muroieda]

it's pretty lonely like this!! i know we're all in the same boat but...starting a friendship from scratch isn't the same as relying on an old one.

oh, just a couple of weeks. blew in on the sharkerlies lol! been the first time on my own in [uuuuuuUUUUHHHHH he doesn't remember exactly] a few years.

[anon]

[manofmettle]

I came in with those shark monsters too. Guess we're both new here.

There's no miracle antidote for loneliness. Especially since it sounds like you and your friend have a close relationship. At the very least, the people in this city are generous with the encouragement and friendly overtures. They probably can't and won't replace your friend, but I hope they can help lessen the solitude over time.

[turingmachine]

I miss my friends too.

[anon]

[muroieda]

that's the real shame of this whole situation. the rest is whatever to me

[anon]

[turingmachine]

I've made some new friends here, and I really like them! But...

[anon]

[prazerbutterfly]

So do I. It's what makes most of this place unbearable. If they were here at least we'd be traveling and fighting it together.

Or even my family. We can hold our own.

[anon]

[muroieda]

not much traveling to be had around here, from what i've found

nothing but dead ends and bermuda triangle wanna-bes

you'd want your family here? huh, you're the first one to say that

[anon]

[prazerbutterfly]

It's one of the biggest fault of this place. We'd be less tense and less likely to kill each other if we had more room to move around.

I should be able to go anywhere yet there is always a wall eventually. No up or down.

They are all capable of defending themselves. I could name at least two that wouldn't want me here alone and given a chance to go home without me they wouldn't. Yet with these events especially Confusion I might see them as an enemy eventually. I want them here yet I know it is not a good idea.

[anon]

[knifecollecting]

Me too.

[anon]

[muroieda]

seems to be a common ground around here!

how about you, mate? you want them around here? think they'd survive?

[anon]

[knifecollecting]

no, i don't want them here. home is better for them.

[edibles]

( anon )

[muroieda]

( anon )

[edibles]

In particular. Some of my friends are here.
