PSA From your Friendly UN: GarbageMan

[firacrux]

I knew people were gonna throw weird shit away. That's just what happens. The mannequins were pretty funny.

But an entire fucking bag of teeth?

Where in the hell did a bag of teeth come from?

someone has to right? everyone else i knew always thought about the dark side. and there were a lot of dark sides after what we did. but i like to hope people can be better and things can be better.

[ or she just likes to fake it. ]

[firacrux]

Someone has to. What you did? Who's "we"?

Do you really think people can be better?

[He wishes she was right.]

[hellofishies]

we is me and my friends. and we punched a hole through something we shouldn't have

yes! sometimes they need a little help though

[firacrux]

It's an easy mistake to make.

Hm. Is it worth it? Why not just leave them to their consequences?

[hellofishies]

it flooded all of Britain.

because everyone deserves a chance to try to improve, don't they?

[firacrux]

I dunno what a Britain is but that does sound pretty bad.

A nice sentiment. Dunno how practical. Still


a nice sentiment.

[hellofishies]

a big place where a lot of people lived

its practical for people like me. do you not think people should be given second chances?

[firacrux]

Ah. Yeah that'd be pretty bad.

I don't know. Can't say there's been opportunity for it where I'm from. Fuck up enough you're done.

[hellofishies]

That just seems stupid

if someone keeps fucking up then you should try to help

[firacrux]

We probably could've used someone like you back at Garden.

[hellofishies]

i like gardens! what could you have used me for?

[firacrux]

I don't think you'd like this one so much.

A sense of compassion.

[hellofishies]

why wouldn't i like it?

compassion is important and so are second chances. people forget that too fast

[firacrux]

It doesn't grow any plants. Just soldiers.

Hm.

[He doesn't have much to say on the latter part but she did get him thinking. That's worth something isn't it?]

[hellofishies]

oh. i don't really like soldiers much.

[firacrux]

We don't much like us either.

[hellofishies]

oh. im sorry. why do you not like you?

[firacrux]

Better not to get too attached to people you might have to kill later.

[Not that any of them were nearly as good at that as they were "supposed" to be.]

[hellofishies]

i don't think thats true

[firacrux]

Then what do you think's true?

[hellofishies]

you never know who might end up bad or who you might have to put down but that doesn't mean you should never get attached to people. and sometimes even if they do get killed they come back and you can try to make them see a better way to do things

[firacrux]

They don't usually come back where I'm from. It's a little different when that death isn't a matter of might, but when.

So why do you not like soldiers?

[hellofishies]

why do you think its a when?

they didn't like us. they wanted to keep us locked up to use as weapons

[firacrux]

That's the way it is. You get sent on missions until you don't come back from one.

Fucked up. Sorry to hear they did that to you.

[hellofishies]

that's fucked up too.

don't be sorry. we got away.
