[ do you know how to cope with being murdered in some haunted house by some creepy omnious voice talking to you? You don't sleep and decide to drown in work. That's obviously what you should do. That's obviously what kaneki is doing.

When Kaneki comes to the screen he is wearing glasses and is surrounded by books and two computer screens, and he looks like he hasn't slept in years (because, let's be honest, he hasn't). He will get right to the point when the video feed starts, offering a small smile and a bow of his head ]

Hello. I wish to bring something to you today. Years ago, an imPort by the name of Kate Bishop started a FAQ, with the idea to give every imPort the information they needed about this world and their situation. It was a good idea, but once she was ported out, this FAQ became out of date and it hasn't been updated in years. I wish to bring it back and follow what Miss Bishop wanted to do. I already have her FAQ, which I'll be adapting and updating but given two years have passed since it was written, I think it's necessary to add what today's imPorts want to know and worry about.

That's why I'm making this post. If you have any question you want to see in this FAQ, go ahead and ask. I'll be adding them to the document. And of course, share the document once it's ready.

the bs thing about the faq and nanites is that it can all be summed up with a big ole ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not your fault
fault of this friggin place

you can't seriously believe that the apathetic DON'T get in the way
they're the worst

[ghoulking]

In a way, that is true. But I know the frustration.
In a way, I am too.


Did anything happen of late? I never had issues.

[nastygram]

the thing that happened is that i have been here for basically fucking ever and people remain THE SAME
unaware and totally uninterested in questioning wtf is going on
content to kick back and take it easy and believing that they will get to ~~ go home someday

which on one hand
willful ignorance?? not surprising!

but it SURE IS DEPRESSING when imo we are surrounded by examples of shit we SHOULD be questioning

[ghoulking]

Some years ago it mattered a lot. I think it was because it was so recent and because there were people from the Alpha World to remind everyone of what happened.
Now, people have forgotten and see this as long vacation, and don't really care.

it gets hard when only a handful of us worry about such things.

[nastygram]

then someone needs to make them care

[ghoulking]

You can't force people to care.

[nastygram]

you can if you take away their shit

[ghoulking]

Haven't they already lost their things? They were taken without question, many have lost their full powers, they are alone.

Do you know that fake experiment going around, Five Monkeys and a Ladder? It applies a bit to this. When someone arrives, they are angry at first, but they see everyone just living their lives and ignoring their situation, considering it normal - and so the newcomers just figure it's the way it is and there is no reason to care.

Because it's all temporary, all a dream, just a vacation.

[nastygram]

and what if it's not a dream

[ghoulking]

They eventually realize it's not.

After three years of being here, it stopped being a dream long ago.

[nastygram]

except they DON'T eventually realize
some people do
you did
i sure af did

but way too many other people just pull the covers up over their heads and get nice and comfy on cloud freaking government sponsored 9

[ghoulking]

And that's their choice. We can't force people to stop seeing what they insist on seeing, that's not our job.

I'd rather focus on investigating and looking for answers, rather than wasting my time telling someone this is not a vacation while they talk to me as if I don't know anything.

[nastygram]

good luck getting them to pay the fuck attention to your facts and answers when they're headed to boca with their surfboards and government privilege

[ghoulking]

how come such a thing upsets you so much?

[nastygram]

because it's fucked that I'M the only one who gives a shit about this
it's fucked that everyone can shut their eyes and pretend it's all good

[ghoulking]

You are the only one. Some do care. I do.

And maybe you think that's not enough, but it has to be.

[nastygram]

it does not have to be
and if you think that then you're closer to giving tf up than you should be
