thusia | ITP: Anonymous Confessions

Who: Anyone!
When: Day 80, morning
Where: 1st floor
What: Anonymous Confessions

[Today the bulletin board features a new note in Ur'ghaste's scrawl:]

The 1st floor is still rather a mess of natural debris, isn't it? I've arranged a little event to clean it up quickly. If enough of you go down there today and make a confession, or give people advice about their confessions, you'll provide me enough power I should be able to get rid of most or all of it with one fell swoop. So go, make some honest confessions, help your fellows out! The more who contribute, the more of level 1 I can help out with.

Anonymity guaranteed*!

~~Ur'ghaste

* if you do not give yourself away, obviously.

[The 1st floor has a fog filling it today. You can still make out shapes -- should you have some reason to be getting somewhere, you can make out walls and corners and so on, as well as the general blurred shadowy shapes of approaching people. But the fog hides identifying features quite well, and you'll find it distorts sound just enough that voices should be unidentifiable.]

((OOC: Anonymous confessions! They're not compelled, just voluntary. As the post says, the fog should obscure visual/audio details. If you want to use an anon account, Thusia's is "anonymia" and the password is "gaspnature!". If you use the anon account remember to track the thread on a normal account or you won't get any notifs! I'm putting this post up from work so I don't have access to IRC -- if you have any questions please email me on harukami at gmail or reply to the toplevel "OOC Questions" thread and I'll get back to you asap.))

Aah, you too? We get dragged through so many.

A lot of people here seem to have the same problem.

I'm sick of wars and fighting... But it's the only thing I'm good at.

I feel a bit like that too, but, it can't be the only thing can it? Surely we must have other skills, more meaning to us...

I don't know what else I can do. I just spend my days out killing nature because I don't know what to do with myself otherwise.

You could try taking up another hobby? Maybe knitting.

That's way too girly for me.

Is it such a big deal?

I don't want to be viewed as girly. I have enough issues with myself, I don't need to hate myself any more than I do already.

And what's so hateable about being girly? I can't see why that would be something you'd look down on yourself for, it's fine.

It just is.

I want to be taken seriously, I don't want to be seen as some sort of freak.

Ah, that's a harsh view, don't you think. You're being too hard on yourself, and on the hobbies of others.

What they do and how they're viewed is their own problem, not mine.

That's a bad attitude! You shouldn't dismiss others like that.

It's not dismissing others, it's letting them make their own decisions!

And then judging them for those decisions.

Others are going to judge them too. People judge one another by standards that they hold inside! That isn't going to magically change and we become a non-judgemental utopia where everyone ~understands~ one another.

It certainly isn't if nobody says anything about it, people's minds can be changed. Starting with yours.

...AH!!

((d/a))

What the hell?

Oh... nothing. You just reminded me of something right then.

... Okay?

A lot of people want to be taken seriously.

People who don't fit your view aren't freaks or don't want to be taken seriously, though.

Well then I hope they have other people who care the same opinions? Because generally others will probably see them as weirdos.

Maybe they could stop seeing us as weirdos then!

People are people. They're going to be judgmental because no one is perfect like that.
