It has come to my attention, that two people were shot... Because we are afraid of each other. Even if that wasn't the reason, I feel it is long past time for a "town-hall" meeting. It has been years, enough years that I don't think, besides a handful, that any of you attended the last one we had.

I would like to see every single one of you in attendance, young and old, men, women, children, and in between. There is a large amphitheater classroom in the University that will seat everyone, and then some, comfortably.

We do not need to be afraid of each other here, because I don't doubt there will come a time that we well need each other, again. I'm not being dramatic, but I'm talking life and death need, not just because one or the other has a useful skill that would make life easier.

So please, help me end this, and bring us all together again.

Edit: There will be drinks and snacks.

	Sure, but how does the newcomer know what is someone else's and what is up for grabs? I would have assumed I was stealing accommodation and food unless Katarin had explained things to me on that front. ~~They're not kings here~~ Nothing wrong with questions, I daresay. Oh. Then I gladly accept. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't know, that's not an issue that's come up before. I don't know about any one else, but my door doesn't open to just anyone, instead it alerts me that I have a visitor.

I guess there's no harm in seeing what the masses want.

Good, because I'm bad at getting people to want to gather, unless the situation is dire. So rather than dealing with hurt feelings I'm happy to let anyone else have it.

	you accused me and everyone who came with me of stealing almost as soon as we got here when we took nothing from people's homes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Interesting. I’d love to hear more about this. Are you coming to the meeting? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otherbuck 2022-02-24 07:55 am UTC (link)
	probably not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fair enough. Then can I buy you a drink? I mean, not buy, you know what I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yes. if you want alcohol there is a place on wheel 3 called bad things. or for other drinks there is a cafe in the food court on the same wheel run by a man who is a different me. either is good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had assumed alcohol, but I'm seriously intrigued by the man who is a different you, so I'm going to say cafe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	he's usually got some there, I'll spike the coffee. it'll make more sense once you've got the backstory. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, you want to make me out to be the badguy, do you? How about we tell Alexander Hamilton the whole truth about that. Because you did steal from us, right in our own safe haven. I mean I could expand from there, and tell him what the hell you were doing there to begin with, do you really want that James? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never called you a bad guy. you said people not being aware of what was taking something available to them vs. stealing had never been a problem. I was pointing out it had been a problem.

we took things from the public spaces. you decided we weren't worthy of doing that and it was stealing. but you can tell him whatever you want, I've never tried to hide.

I'm not James.

	No, you missed where I said I'd never been aware of people taking from other people's dwellings. Their homes. I will give you that, you didn't steal from people's homes. You were the enemy at the time. A body snatching enemy. And you, like several of the other clones, are still an asshole. You're not Bucky either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otherbuck 2022-02-24 09:17 am UTC (link)
	and who gets to decide who is an enemy? who decides who's allowed food and supplies and who's stealing the same food and same supplies? being an asshole is a criminal offense now? you don't get to decide who I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, seeing as you were an invader, and you did come here to do harm to the people of this station because you fucked yours up. We didn't do anything to you, and you just came here to take what we had. Nope, but it means I get to match your little penis energy.

Well, you don't deserve the name Bucky, and my son does so... You're not going to be called Bucky by me.

	good to know you've still never listened to anything any of us have said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I didn't have a problem listening to the bearded Miguel. Because, and here's the key here, he decided not to be an asshole. He decided he wanted to help. He decided not to bite the hand that was offering to feed him.

It's a wonder what a little honey does, instead of vinegar. I'm not asking you to kiss ass, here James, I'm asking you for a little bit of the golden rule, to treat me how you want to be treated.

	you still say we ruined the other station so clearly you're not actually listening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not really, but I tend to find other people overly sensitive. Oh, no, this is fantastic. You're giving me a focus, and it'll save me from sitting about writing unsent letters to the wife all day. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
