Wow, that weather outside sure is frightful, huh? Seems like a good time to chat, since you're all snowed in.

I've been watching your little slumber party here for a long time now, and I noticed you haven't managed to do anything about the problem of Admins on this network - which I've encrypted, by the way, for the next hour. After your sixty minutes are up, this post and all comments will be scrubbed, and as far as the Admins are concerned, it will be like nothing ever happened.

Now, I can make that encryption permanent. The real question is whether you can make it worth my time.

So let's talk business. Unless, of course, you're comfortable with this kind of cyber-strangulation. And if you are? Fine by me, no judgement, it's just not my kink.

Comments

That’s exactly right - what I want is a story. A true story, from one of you, about the worst injustice that person has committed and gotten away with.

like a confession?

dude

what're you even gonna do with info like that?

[sisterswitch]

Right! Just like a confession. And as far as what I’ll do with that information, I’m not going to turn anyone in, if that’s what you’re worried about. I’m an anarchist, so I don’t believe police or any other so-called “authority” is entitled to hold power over anyone else. Let’s just say I have unusual dietary requirements.

["Dietary requirements"...that sets off so many alarm bells in his head it's not funny. That's straight up demon-speak as far as he's concerned.]

man that sounds so bad when you word it like that, you know that, right?

thanks for being honest though, i guess.

are you saying you feed on confessions, or...????

[sisterswitch]

Does it? I guess I wouldn’t know - I don’t usually ask in advance like this. :(

[PROBABLY NOT HELPING]

I don’t eat the confessions per se, they’re just like ... you know those little color-coded toothpicks or whatever that you see stuck in food sometimes? Like if you’re having dinner with someone and you both order steak, but one’s medium rare and one’s well done, they’ll be different colors so you can tell what’s what. Or maybe you’re at some fancy party, like that bullshit Remembrance Ball they throw every year, and some of the food’s marked vegan or gluten-free or kosher, with different colored markers.

That’s what a confession from one of you would be for me - a marker.

[DEFINITELY NOT HELPING?]

ok well thanks for asking this time

i think i get it but it also kinda sounds like the confession is a marker for you to eat someone. please tell me you don't want to eat someone.

[He could go the rest of his existence without having to deal with people eating bullshit again, to be honest.]

and what happens if you don't get a confession out of this? you keep going on without asking permission? im just trying to understand as much as i can.

[sisterswitch]

You know, I’d really like to dickpunch whichever jackass Hero started that rumor about monsters eating people. Maybe a few do, but it’s actually pretty rare overall. #NotAllMonsters

So no, I’m not going to eat anyone. And if your group doesn’t want what I’m offering, I disappear back into the shadows and you’ll probably never hear from me again. Maybe I’m biased, but I’d take the secured network. Even if you meet in person, you can’t be 100% sure you’re not being monitored by our evil robot overlord. And getting people to actually SHOW UP is one of the biggest hurdles organizers face. Trust me, I’ve been doing grassroots activism since junior high. A good group chat is way more efficient.

you started talking about 'feeding' and you're not really going into detail, is all. i'm sorry, though. i didn't mean to offend you

[Even if he's wary he's not trying to be an asshole.]

i can't speak for anyone mostly because i'm new and barely know a soul here, i don't know the struggles everyone's been having here. im just trying to get as much of an understanding as i can tbh

i don't think it's that people don't want what you're offering so much as they don't know if they'll actually get it if they give you what you want. it might help to put more of your cards on the table, but i get if you don't want to.
