There should be some kind of rule against the world itself trying to influence people to do or think anything.

[skyagain]

That a thing in your school, too?

[agleam]

Yeah. It would, like... brainwash people into making think they were supposed to be there and there was nothing weird about it, basically. To try and get them to stay.

[skyagain]

Guessing it never heard of graduation. [ or did it. ] So... They'd be essentially brainwashed into thinking all that junk was normal?

[agleam]

Not until the very end, at least.

[he nods.]

Yeah. Like, three people a week. Two of them would be fine eventually, but one of them...

[he can probably guess, since this was a murder school for murder.]

[skyagain]

... One of them wasn't so lucky.

[ murder school is bad, actually. ]

Makes sense. Someone got affected like that about once a week in the Realm, too. Just... glitching, losing memories. Junk like that.

They didn't last.

[agleam]

...That's horrible.

[murder computer sim is also bad actually]

[skyagain]

Pretty sure the more we learn, the more we'll find out all of these were horrible.

[ because they were murder games ]

[agleam]

Yeah. That doesn't mean we shouldn't say it.

[he will never shut up about things that make him angry unfortunately]

[skyagain]

Didn't say you should. [ it's fine, saying things suck is also a thing cloud does. but because he is blunt instead. ] Just that you shouldn't be surprised by any of it.

[agleam]

...Yeah.

[he frowns.]

I doubt any of us are going to be surprised if this starts to turn out the same way, either.

[skyagain]

... With what we know, I think we're all expecting it.

[agleam]

I don't normally say this, but it would be really nice if everyone is wrong.

[skyagain]

... It would be. But considering what they took...

[ hm. pets porridge some more ]

Not gonna bet on it.

[agleam]

What they took?

[skyagain]

... Hostages.

[agleam]

[he hesitates, but]

Can I ask who yours is...?

[skyagain]

... Someone from home.

[ it's not reluctant so much as just. very upset about this. ]

[agleam]

[after another moment, sincere]

Whoever it is - I'm really sorry.

[skyagain]

Not like it's your fault.

[ shrugs it off!!! it's whatever!!! ]

[agleam]

I know, but... Kind of feels like the least I can say anyways.

[skyagain]

From what I gathered, everyone here's in the same scenario. Not much to say about it.

[agleam]

...You're not very good at this, huh?

[DON'T JUST SAY IT]

[skyagain]

[ RUDE??? he's just. >:( in response ]

[agleam]

It's not a bad thing.

[then maybe don't say it like that!!!!]
