Considering the power they have over us? Studied, analyzed, understood. Can't do that if they wipe us clean any time we try to do anything that actually would have an impact.
Which is exactly why they wiped out their teammates. Yea, that makes sense.
I'm not buying it for a second. And I ain't gonna just sit around and wait for them to start picking us off, or if they do decide to wipe us all out at once. For all we know, they could have before. They seem to know alot about whatever this "reincarnation" shit they're putting us through is.</font?
I've been reading her records, yes. That is what I meant - study, analyze, understand. Only then is there a chance of anything productive coming out of it.
And blind action rarely leads to any useful results.
Although if you do learn anything new, I know that Elda would very much appreciate the information. And it will be best that anything planned should be planned not on their network. They might monitor it.
I don't know if it can be called the same. But... I remember a few things. A lady who said something about creating monsters. And just.... some things I'm less than proud of. Things I would give anything to prevent again.
[Not that Andrew can see it, but Orion frowns. With all the things that have lead up until now, history may well be getting ready to repeat itself. The collar, the Other Self, Lilly in the fog asking him to kill her again. There's too much in play that Orion can't guarantee that he can prevent it from happening again. No matter how hard he tries. Dark can overpower him, as he did that one day, no, week, sending who-knows-how-many to the hospital.
There's no guarantee, and that unsettles something beneath Orion's skin. Could he hurt someone else like he did Lilly? Would he someday end up killing Biffy? It worries him. He'll need to talk with Biffy about it later.
For now, though... words he hasn't said in months will be texted to Andrew.]
If it came down to it, I hope I could kill myself before I could cause that much damage again. If I couldn't stop me. And keep fighting it with all I got until then.
I dunno... I guess I don't know what else might come from this app. I don't know if the "other me" is stronger or not. He hospitalised a bunch of people last time. Tatsuma fought me on the rooftops, because I was working on killing someone.
I apologize for making you relive that. [ IT reads as though Orion is having a panic attack, or something akin to it, and Andrew is not okay with himself for causing it. ] It was not something you chose to do, and, especially if it came out of nowhere, you could not have prevented it.
[Not so much of a panic attack as it is just being filled to the brim with regret.]
Yea, it was recent. The end of January. He just... took over. For about a week or so. I wasn't even a little aware. Others brought it to my attention afterwards and just...
Tatsuma told me I was just beating people senselessly while laughing, like it was a game. When I shot someone, Tatsuma lured me away to stop me.
Biffy told me that I was definitely different, and he could tell right away it wasn't 'me'. I was trying to start a fight, but then resorted to asking... weird questions. For some reason, I went to hit him, but stopped mid-strike.
Excuse me for the question, but do you live alone? If you have a roommate of some sort, whether or not on the app, they can be on the lookout for strange behavior. If you phrase it right, they can send a text before whatever it is that makes people forget the weirdness kicks in.
Yea, I live alone. I've actually... lived on my own for about a year.
[Holy shit, even he has to admit he's impressed. He's usually never made it more than a few months before. Excuse him while he looks at all of it. Good people really do make all the difference, don't they?]
And I mean that if you are trying to get people without the app to keep an eye on you, you want to phrase it so that there won't be anything so out of the ordinary for them to forget as soon as you turn your back on the explanation. Not an issue with people who do have the app, of course.
[Oh, man, you're telling him to think before he speaks, Andrew. There is no promises that it will happen. It's not hard to outfox Orion into talking about his shit.]
Uhh... Yea, sure. Though... let's just stick to people on the app so I don't have to worry about it. I'm not smart enough to shut up when I start talking.
[ He'll learn. Plus, it doesn't hurt to occasionally try to aspire for more than you're used to? Or something along those lines. ]
Understood. You have a better idea of who you meet on a daily or even semi-regular basis. Those would be the people who would be best suited to keep an eye on you.

You're an alright, dude. Y'know that. I'll keep it all in mind.
Same goes, though. You find anything, will you tell me?

... Orion...
Date: 2018-04-08 06:15 am (UTC)Is there nobody else who can stop you from doing the damage? Short of killing you.
He's so sorry
