==> Phylus: Freak Out.

[mapmaking]

Well, you DID IT. You finally left the comfort of your HIVE, armed with your favorite BRANCH and equipped with your new GOGGLETOP, those snazzy new hands-free eyewear computing devices you thought up. You admit that you haven't really made much in the way of alchemization, but this is one thing you enjoy.

You manage to get through the FIRST GATE and now you're...somewhere? Somewhere with NO FERNS which you think is dumb. You don't even have a map. There's no GATE in sight, and all you can see are the weird little LIZARDS that flop around on your planet and some IMPS, those stupid things.

Wait, no gate?

You're....stuck.

You're STUCK?! Wait, what!! You didn't sign up for this!

ugh
whateVer
the point is youre still on a team now
and you dying would fuck oVer a bunch of people who are in fact your teammates
maybe this isnt the kind of team youre used to
but itd still be a massiVe dick moVe to go 'well fuck you guys' and die
especially when some of em went to lengths to make it so you are in fact aliVe now by getting you into the game
i dunno how this game works yet
but im not sure anyones a spare who can just casually die without eVeryone being supremely fucked
so you talking about how you wanna die
is basically you saying 'i dont really care if all the rest of you die too
whether you want to or not
im taking you with me'
do you see why im haVing a problem with your suicidal moaning yet

okay so iVe neVer died
well spotted there
neither haVe you
so you cant say youre right any more than i can
but giVen that dying is fucking IRREVERSIBLE
and that theres at LEAST a 50/50 chance its not half as good as whateVer ideal youVe got
can we at least agree its better you dont rush to find out whos correct here

for fucks sake
try to giVe someone some helpful adVice
keep the branch if you want i dont fucking care
i just figured it was a weapon of desperation
especially since you sounded
yknow
screamingly desperate
but hey if thats what you want then knock yourself out
