MINGLE #2

[footkind]

Use this post to mingle and meet with each other! For the coding to make your tags MSPA-style use the box below:

<b><font face="courier,monospace" color="#HEX">

There is no set time line for these interactions but the game has not been launched yet and no one but the Beta(s) should know they are prepared to hack the game. For human/troll interactions try to keep I AM AN ALIENNNN to a minimum, or at least be realistic--would YOU believe someone was an alien if the IM'd you and told you they were?

This iteration of the mingle post will include sections for each team to help everyone figure out what do! You don't need to reply to these but I think it might be helpful c: You may create your own sections for your characters as well!

why the hell would i want the ocean.
it's all salty and smelly and shit.

[absentultima]

y0u're ∧ se∧dweller, ∧ren't y0u?
s0/\/\e d0 cr∧ve sp∧ce inste∧d, but th∧t d0esn't ch∧nge the f∧cts.

[celestialcavalier]

no, i'm not too close to the water.
there's a river, but the ocean is a good distance away.

[absentultima]

i d0n't underst∧nd.
y0ur c0l0r is surely th∧t 0f ∧ se∧dweller.
why did y0u ch00se t0 live s0 f∧r fr0m the 0ce∧n?

[celestialcavalier]

i didn't choose where i was born.
i might have ended up near an ocean, but my childhood was spent in an orphanage.
then after some terrible behavior, i got sent off to a military academy to "teach me some respect".
and i've been here ever since.

[absentultima]

0h. y0u're f∧r 0lder th∧n i th0ught.
i w0n't even be c0nscripted f0r ∧ while yet.
but wh∧t's ∧n 0rph∧n∧ge?
s0/\/\ething t0 d0 with 0rph∧ns, 0bvi0usly, but i'/\/\ n0t sure wh∧t.

[celestialcavalier]

i don't quite have to be conscripted. the thing is, they give me a choice in the matter.
i don't know if i'll take them up on the offer yet, though.
an orphanage is just a place that houses a bunch of orphans with really shitty living conditions.
it's kind of terrible and i'm so glad i got out of there.

[absentultima]

i guess f0rcing the 0rph∧ns t0gether w0uld m∧ke sure 0nly the str0ngest survive.
i'd think th∧t /\/\0st 0f the/\/\ w0uld just die ∧nyw∧y, especi∧lly if they were 0rph∧ned bef0re they c0uld hunt f0r the/\/\selves.

[celestialcavalier]

they don't DIE, dude.
as nice as that would be, i wouldn't be here if that's the case.
the stronger and older ones just beat up the younger ones.
it's barbaric.
at least there's a piece of shit apathetic guardian to give them food and shit.
if we had to hunt, we'd ALL be dead, but i wouldn't put it past some people...

[absentultima]

they ∧ctu∧lly h0ld b∧ck fr0/\/\ killing?
th∧t's n0t b∧rb∧ric; th∧t kind 0f self-c0ntr0l s0 y0ung ∧nd with0ut even ∧ lusus t0 te∧ch the/\/\ h0w t0 ∧ct pr0perly...
if i believed in /\/\ir∧cles i w0uld c∧ll it 0ne.
w∧it, y0u d0n't hunt f0r y0urself? h0w d0 y0u e∧t?
i /\/\ight h∧ve st∧rted e∧rlier th∧n s0/\/\e but i've been d0ing /\/\0st 0f /\/\y 0wn hunting since i w∧s three.

[celestialcavalier]

of course they don't kill the kids.
they're stupid but not THAT stupid.
the apathetic guardian just handles getting food and making sure nobody is starving.
and if it was real serious, she would keep some of them from almost killing each other.
the only thing that orphans have to do is behave.
if they're lucky, they get out of there eventually.

[absentultima]

0nly beh∧ve?
h0w d0 y0u le∧rn the skills necess∧ry t0 survive then?
isn't fending f0r y0urself wh∧t te∧ches th0se things?

[celestialcavalier]

well, yeah, fending for yourself lets you know how to get what you want and stuff.
honestly, you don't really learn anything from a place like that.
what i did, was i stirred up enough trouble to get sent out of there.
and the place i'm in now actually teaches me how to do things in the world.

[absentultima]

th∧t s0unds res0urceful 0n y0ur p∧rt.
i'/\/\ just b∧ffled th∧t such ∧ pl∧ce c0uld exist.
