WEEK 14 - I have been — and always shall be — your friend.

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (14)

monday (41) survivors You stand with your friends, your family, and your enemies, shoulder to shoulder. The deceased and the living are the same, now, and you've been reunited with the person trapped on the opposite ship. You have four choices. Four options laid before you - five, if you're smart about it. You have the option of staying on the Nuwa, a ship pre-programmed to land somewhere safe, soon, and then it's your's for the taking. You have the option of entering the Nuwa's virtual reality and crafting your own perfect world, but knowing it was a perfect world created by your own hand. Your third option is one of the Cradles, a machine created to bring you bliss, and permit you the dream you've always wanted, without the knowledge it's a virtual reality. Your fourth option lays in front of you, on the bridge of the Nuwa, and it's a tear in the fabric of reality, but you can see your home waiting for you. It looks idyllic, perfect, just the way you'd want it to be. Your fifth option lies in another tear - the tear of a friend. Perhaps their heart is kind enough to take in a stray. The choice is your's to make, and whatever you choose, know that, for the first time in fourteen weeks, it's your choice. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

It's not quite that easy... But yeah, I might at least try to ride one. Life's too short, right? And the afterlife's too boring.

You think you can get everything sorted? So that things don't turn out how they apparently did to have us end up here.

[bloodbiter]

I hope you do. You've earned it.

[she pauses, thinking it over.]

I don't know... But I can't let doubt stop me. There were problems there I had sworn to solve even before coming here, so I'll start with those.

[todorable]

Sounds like a plan. I guess if you have an idea of what happened, you can try to do something different. Guess that's all any of us can do.

[bloodbiter]

Yes, that's very true. What are you going to do differently?

[todorable]

Cutting straight to the nitty-gritty...

[he makes a face, since he's been thinking on this ever since having a second chance became a real option, and the result is never what he wants it to be]

...I think I'm going to have to help my brothers grow up.

Not looking forward to it! We've got such a sweet deal...and ugh, the whining's gonna be killer. But being at least a little independent would probably prevent the whole invitational debacle, so it's probably worth a shot. Plus...after knowing there's kids out you doing actual important stuff and changing lives, I feel like we should at least be able to supply our own allowances.
