[Hello, good morning. Theo has Some Opinions to share about what occurred this week and he's loudly going to tell you about them. Once the dizziness and nausea wear off, anyway.

While the more minute details now escape him, a few key events stand out in his mind, that particularly of his death in Area X. He's probably one of the first ones to return from the sim as well, not very well equipped either in his real life nor in the sim for wilderness survival in such a hostile environment.]

Hey, Navarch? What the fuck was that?! How fucking dare you pull something like this with little warning and no choice! Did you people think this was going to be done kinda cute trip through the woods or something? What was the point to any of it?! Just to mentally torture us?

I hope you fucking choke. And same goes to any wardens who thought this was a good idea and went along with it. Fuck all of you.

Tough break! Maybe if you ask the wardens nicely, they'll take you to the SIRE and hit up a McDonalds Play Place to soothe your nerves.

[sanctus_dei]

oh shut the fuck up already. just because i didn't enjoy slowly falling apart in the wilderness and watching everyone else die around us. what the fuck was the point to any of that

[rank1]

You know millions of people have lived and died by the land? All of humanity used to look up at the stars and hope they could push hard enough to survive the next day, and they'd do that their whole lives. Billions of years of evolution and you can't take a couple days. Weaksauce.

[Says dude typing from his bunk, squinting at the screen because he's nauseous, but. You know.]

[theartofmadness]

yo wtf u2 bitchin at one another over text for you dumbasses literally a bunk or two away from one another lmfao ( he knows this cause he, too, is laying in bed. ) but also sky burials are kinda badass

Communication takes many forms, get with the 21st century.

They are pretty sick. I saw pictures of a guy's whole spine getting carried off by a bloodied golden eagle. If there's a cool way to go, it's that.

[theartofmadness]

feelin' that shit, huh?

[rank1]

So good, man. Everything before Area X was a total crock of shit, but once we got in there, I was fucking VIBING.

[sanctus_dei]

[Theo would have appreciated it now had they not dragged his brother into the whole thing. Experience ruined.]

i don't fucking want to talk to him

i really didn't need to think i fucking died again either, really slowly and for what? cuz the Admiralty thought it would be a rollicking good time? god i hate them

[theartofmadness]

( That's fair. He has his own reservations but he's not yellin' about it at the moment. )

ur already talking to him tho??? anyway, probably the point was to not die.

[sanctus_dei]

it's not face to face and it messaged me first

yeah well, did anyone NOT die?

[theartofmadness]

fuckin' doubt it.

[sanctus_dei]

right. what exactly were they expecting to happen? god they're such assholes.

[sanctus_dei]

you act as if that place was normal for even a second? come the fuck on

[rank1]

You've got a puny definition of "normal".

[sanctus_dei]

i'm a fucking mage and i've seen a lot of shit, that doesn't mean that shit was "normal"

and environment aside, fucking messing with our minds to make us different versions of ourselves and exploiting our histories and then putting us through group hallucination is a fucking shitty thing to do

[rank1]

You’re killin me, kid. You’re so caught up on the logistics you’re missing the bigger picture. That was a ball. It was like some trippy-ass Wizard of Oz shit put through a meat grinder, and we were the skin. A chick put a knife in my gut and I wanted it. Fuck whoever it made us before the Area. Fuck whether it was normal. If that’s a mindfuck, I’ll take two a week.

[sanctus_dei]

i guess getting eaten by a mutant panther fucking distracted me from the wonder of whatever the fuck that place was. christ almighty you're weird

[rank1]

I guarantee getting eaten by a mutant panther was the most interesting thing that happened to you in that life, bar fucking none.

And everyone here says I’m a dick lol.

[rank1]

You are a dick. Hope that helps.

[smugreport]

Yeah well you’re cramping my style as reining champion then. Why’re you laying so hard into him?

[rank1]

Do you actually give a shit or is this just a prelude to whatever you want to complain about?

[smugreport]

Hey, I can care! Not about protecting his feelings or anything, but he’s right. Even if his wording could use some work.

[rank1]

So why are you talking to me? Go tell him that shit.

[smugreport]

And give up the title of your number 1 adversary on this ship? Nah, I’m talking to you. Cause there is a serious gulf between that place and a playground, being shaken up by it is actually the sane response.
