Real World Network | Week 4
Welcome to another week in the life of a dystopian underground society held together by the fear of technological subjugation and sticky oatmeal paste. For the optimists out there looking to celebrate the little things, my eyebrows have mostly returned. For those of you thinking about doing something crazy—like inserting yourself back into the two-dimensional hellscape of potato people—this is your reminder that we have now gone four weeks without a reset. If you get injured or you die, there aren’t any guarantees anyone will be able to help you.

And for those of you who participated in the mission last week—I know we kind of bungled taking out that harvester machine thing, but we did “rescue” a few people. So, well done. Thumbs up for that.

Have a marvelous week! ♥

	How do you know you don’t need magic or superpowers? What if you go back into the simulation and get brainwashed all over again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know - there are a lot of unknown variables here, but it feels wrong just sitting on my hands about it when progress has been made to go back in. You think I shouldn't try to get her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think we should probably ask ourselves why she isn’t already here before we go leaping into a hornets’ nest without looking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think the ones who aren't here - it's on purpose? I don't know, either way it's making assumptions about what people are thinking and feeling and it's a shit situation. But I don't want to take anything good from her, if she's going the 'ignorance is bliss' route. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not to be contrary or, well, yes maybe to be a teensy bit contrary. But I think that most people are easily manipulated by their surroundings. Not Lokis, however. If Sylvie is still in the simulation I have to believe it’s because she wants to be in the simulation. She’s already had so much taken from her. What gives us the right to take this as well?

	They're using her as a battery though. Without her consent. She just thinks it's a simulation, not that she's being drained of energy to feed something else. But I'll trust you here, if that's what you think. I know I definitely don't have the right to make decisions for her, given what I did with the TVA. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[awkward pause] ~~why do you have to be so rational????~~ Okay. That’s a fair point. But what about you? I think it’s reckless to assume that the intelligence behind the Matrix doesn’t have some kind of warning system for intruders. What if they decide to do something to you while your mind is trapped in there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	I guess they could decide that. Like I said, lots of unknown variables. But it's a risk I'd be willing to take. We're all going to have to take risks here, if we want to accomplish anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fiorvalr 2021-12-08 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	You know that this isn’t just a risk, right? This could go cataclysmically wrong. You could die in there. And you won’t come back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	You know what Ravonna said to me, after I popped back up in her office post her sending me to die? 'If anyone was ever gonna make it back from The Void, I suppose it was gonna be you.' So if anyone's gonna not die in there, it'll still be me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fiorvalr 2021-12-08 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	~~Ravonna who?~~ Yes, but I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that you didn’t make it back from The Void on your own. So sending you into this mess by yourself sounds like a very foolish idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	What, like there won't be other idiots who also come with me? Or are you offering to be one of those idiots? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fiorvalr 2021-12-08 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	I really don’t know if it’s wise to just send random people half-cocked back into the Matrix. ~~Especially since most of the people from Derleth don’t exactly think before they act.~~ I’m thinking about it. Are you sure you want to go back in there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	Whoever wants to go back in, we'll make sure that it's as half-cocked as we can get it. I'm sure. Bring your full cock, Loki. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't believe I just read that with my own eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	Gotta add some levity to the situation, somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehedgewitch 2021-12-08 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	I appreciate the laugh, at least. It's the least any of us can ask for in this shithole. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As a casual reader, I can't believe Loki set it up for you so easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	I guess he got too cocky in that regard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're on a roll. I hope your cockamamie scheme works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, it will. We'll cock 'em dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're not just giving me a cock and bull story, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jetskiing 2021-12-08 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. We all have a boner to pick with those who put us here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Couldn't think of any more cock related puns? Guess I'm feeling as proud as a peacock now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
