I'm trying to decide something important to me and likely not to you. Since I can't decide, I'm going to leave it to npcs and randos to tell me their experiences first. That's the best way to get a good, honest, cut and dry isn't it? Asking anonymously and letting the worst of what could be said eek out of the darker corners of your hearts?

So, hero or bystander: What was the most horrible thing you did both back at home, and the most horrible thing you've done here to, or in this place. Maybe to its inhabitants?

Go ahead, try and shock me. Anon me if you have to, lock it if you want to, or be brave and put your name to your sins for the world to see. I don't really care as long as you tell the truth.

This is stupid, and I am stupid. I should be able to make my own decisions, Lord Explosion Murder.

Everyone has a dark side. What've you done?

[hot_handed]

Never said you shouldn't, but they're still fucking stupid.

If everyone has a dark side, why do ya care so much?

[facepalmchampion]

I want to know more about the people I have to spend my time with, or people I'm expected to fight along side, or people I am expected to defend. I want to see what cobwebs live in the dark corners first.

[hot_handed]

Cobwebs AIN'T ALIVE YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.

Too bad. Luckily we'll probably never work together.

[facepalmchampion]

It's called a metaphor. I can get you the definition if you need it.

No? If you're not the fight along side with, then you're the ones I have to defend?

[hot_handed]

I know what a metaphor is you moron, it's a shitty one.

Fuck no. I ain't gotta be defended by no one.

[facepalmchampion]

Then I want to find out what kind of people I'm around, that's simpler right? Don't you want to know what the darkest shades are? You can't know the light if you don't know the dark.

That doesn't inspire me with anything but doubt. People who boast the loudest usually do so for show.

[hot_handed]

Nope, don't fucking care. I just wanna get outta here. Besides, some stories aren't mine to tell.

And people who only judge when anonymous are some of the most spineless.

[facepalmchampion]

I think everyone brought here wouldn't mind going back home. Why not just tell me a story that is yours to tell? Or your part of it. Go ahead, lock your text. Who am I going to tell?

I'm not judging, I'm listening and making a decision that only affects my future. I don't care who says what or why, I just want to know.

[hot_handed]

Unless you got a way to steal the Porter, I don't see how this benefits me.

[facepalmchampion]

Steal the actual porter?

[hot_handed]

No, steal the keychain model of it at the fucking gift shop.

[facepalmchampion]

Probably easier to carry. But. Stealing doesn't sound very in line with heroism. We're put here to be heroes, aren't we? I don't car eif you aren't heroic, I'm curious.

[hot_handed]

Do you always just blindly follow what your kidnappers say?

[facepalmchampion]

Do you always dodge questions by throwing to subversion?

[hot_handed]

I do when I'm talking to assholes.

You want an answer? Fine. Nothing's going to get solved if we follow the rules a bunch of villains set in place to begin with. If getting home means I'm seen as a villain here, I don't fucking care. Only a loser would see it that way anyway.

[facepalmchampion]

I've been called worse. Try again, though, I'm interested to hear what else you want to call me.

Not only would you put aside the job we've been all given, you see "our kidnappers" as villains because they kidnapped us. Hm. Even if it was to try to control their society and make it better? In the long run I meant. I'm trying to make sure I have it right here.

[hot_handed]

I can't. Since you're anon, I can't be creative with my insults.

Enough with your pseudo-philosophical moral debate bullshit. Villains kidnap people, and that makes 'em villains, no matter what the reasons are. It ain't my fucking world or my problem.

[facepalmchampion]

Hm... I've never had a conventional job, I just got out of my teens and I stayed with people who supported me until I got here.
What've you got now?

I see what you mean, Lord Explosion Murder. They can take us, but they can't make us do the job they want us to do no matter how they view it or how the citizens view it. I agree. I think no one should be forced to do what they don't want to. See? That wasn't so hard at all.

[hot_handed]

Shit. You're a NEET.

What? Those ain't cobwebs.

[facepalmchampion]

[How to navigate this. Hm...]

I'm not familiar with the term you're screaming. Little bit of an explanation? You can call me an idiot again if it helps.

No, but we both know I wasn't just looking for the cobwebs, I also wanted to find the spiders.

[hot_handed]

I ain't screaming, dumbass, it's an acronym that refers to losers like you, which you at least seem to have some self-awareness of.

How about you stop with the vague bullshit and give me a real answer.

[facepalmchampion]

Ohhh, alright. I'm human and we're flawed. Let's recap: Stupid, dumbassx2, moron, asshole, NEET and if I can be so bold as to assume, even a sheep. I'm feeling spoiled.

I want to know if this world is worth saving. If it's worth helping to save, then I will. If it's not, then I won't. Hearing the darkest corners echo back all the things people can't utter in civil society helps me understand those I'm supposed to be working with, like I said.

[Some of it is a lie. A direct lie actually.]

So is being capable of turning a blind eye to those who proport to be in need your dark story, or is there something worse?

[hot_handed]

Not spoiled, just annoying.

If it's this world you're concerned about, shouldn't you be examining the motives of the people native to this place?

I told you it's none of your fucking business.

[facepalmchampion]

I'm going to add annoying to that list too.

Not really, you're right. If they're kidnapping people, then they're no better. There's grey areas, but it just means they're all complacent at our expense. Or no? Am I wrong?

That's a yes. That's definitely a yes. I'll take the yes.
