7TH ☄ s h o o t i n g s t a r ☄ v o i c e

My fellow Lucetizens! [She still thinks it's funny okay.] I'm sure it's been on everyone's minds since that last announcement, but just what kind of weaknesses do you think we're going to have to face? I mean, most of us have experience with some pretty terrible shifts back in that bad-end timeline, so I think we know what kind of things can be thrown at us. But how many people here can say they really understand their own weaknesses?

So I got to thinking! We all have a responsibility here to help those who want to go back home, right? So we should take this chance to work together and figure out our weaknesses together! I mean, I don't think it's very reasonable to expect all of us to just overcome our problems by ourselves in a few weeks. That's crazy, right? But if we all know what everyone else might expect, then we can work together to help support each other!

Like, say some guy is like super tormented by an evil slime monster in his past that killed his beloved pet hamster, Toodles. But on the other hand, we've got a guy who's a world-renown slime monster slayer! If those two worked together, then maybe Mr. Slimophobia can get some support in overcoming his fear of slime monsters! Or, you know, he'll at least know to stick by Mr. Slime-killer when the time comes so he'll have someone to help bail him out of trouble. [Flawless logic.]

So! Here's what we should do. We'll get everyone together and just... talk things out! Just drop your name here, and everyone who knows you will chime in with what they think your biggest weakness is! Then, other people can see that and offer help or support. Of course, I know a lot of people might not want to risk hurting their friends feelings by listing off their faults, so just go ahead and cover up the camera if you wanna stay anonymous.

[There's no way this can end badly, nope.]

And don't be scared to put yourself out there! Don't forget, this is for everyone's benefit, so it's totally a judgement-free zone!

If you don't put your name down, then... well, I guess that's probably your big weakness then, huh.

[... Well. Why not? If it's to help each other out. Even though it'll probably make him hate himself a little.]

I, uh... I think a better question to ask is what weaknesses I don't have.

[WEAKNESS #1 RIGHT THERE WHO WOULDA THOUGHT]

Not even anon cause she's a jerk

[magicalesbian]

Wow, I don't even need to know you to tell you've got some self-esteem issues to work out. Why so down on yourself?

WHAT A JERK

[fabrecation]

It's... It's kind of complicated. [Or, there are so many reasons and I don't want to air them all out in public like this.]

TOTALLY

[magicalesbian]

Are you sure you aren't just making it complicated? [Maybe he got turned down by a girl or something...] I mean, look. If you're going to put yourself down before anyone even says anything, it's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, you know?

I bet even a debbie-downer like you has some good points. And if you're gonna work on that self-esteem of yours... maybe you should ask people what your strengths are instead! It'll give you something nicer to fixate on.

[fabrecation]

Debbie-Downer? [Oi, don't be calling him a girl's name.]

Isn't this supposed to be asking about weaknesses? I don't think asking for my strengths is going to do anything about that.

[magicalesbian]

But your weakness is your inability to acknowledge you have strengths! If you spend so much time thinking about why you think you suck, then of course you're gonna have shitty self-esteem!

[She may be talking from experience here. Just a little.]

Now come on! Tell me something you're good at! Something about you that rocks! There's gotta be something, right?

[fabrecation]

Uh... [WELL WAY TO PUT HIM ON THE SPOT.] I can't really... think of much of anything...

[magicalesbian]

[Staaaaaaare.]

Are you telling me in your entire life you've never been good at anything? No skills? No accomplishments? No friends? No nothing?

I mean, come on, I probably spent the majority of my childhood sitting in front of a computer screen like a goddamn NEET, and even I can think of some good points I had back then!

[fabrecation]

[... Neet?] ... Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about, but...

Fighting, I guess? I've always been pretty good at that.

[explaining]

[THREADJACKING because hi is this an opportunity to brag about my not-child]

He's always been really good about treating everyone the same. He doesn't get hung up on social status or anything; it's very sincere and honest.

[jadedpast]

We can rule out confidence, for one.

[fabrecation]

[... uhhhhhhhhhh

Okay, not the first time he's seen something like this happen, but. What.]

Ja - [WAIT WAIT WAIT it'd just be weird if he blurted out knowing who this kid was.] Juuhh... Just - where do you get that idea...?

[jadedpast]

[...That was a very suspicious stutter, stranger. But moving right along.]

You said it would be easier to tell what weaknesses you don't have, and you meant it. You must have very few strengths to cling to, so you make no secret of how pathetic you feel.

[fabrecation]

Um, well...

I fight pretty good?

[jadedpast]

Would you say that your fighting is better than your grammar?

[fabrecation]

H-Hey...

[jadedpast]

Hay belongs in the barn.

[fabrecation]

I know that! I'm just trying to think of some strengths I might...

Never mind, this is stupid. [He really is pathetic, huh.]

[explaining]

[DOING THE OPPOSITE THING HE SHOULD BE DOING hi im guy im his mother]

Luke, there's plenty of weaknesses you don't have. Like- for example, nobody could accuse you of arrogance. I mean, anymore. -well, I mean sometimes you can be a little...

[fabrecation]

... I feel so much stronger already.

[Can you hear how his voice is DRIPPING WITH SARCASM Guy, can you]

[explaining]

It's not a huge problem! You just- well I mean, it's more cute than anything! You get so proud of yourself when you learn something new and you're good at it. Which, like I said, not necessarily bad! It's just- y'know, you can go overboard, but I mean in terms of actual weaknesses, that's pretty far...

[fabrecation]

Well excuse me for being happy I could do something! It's not like I'm actually good at a lot of things!

[explaining]

Luke, c'mon. Besides, I said it was cute, didn't I?

And don't talk about yourself like that, you're good at things you put your mind to. You're just getting used to having to really concentrate on things.

[fabrecation]

What's that supposed to mean? I've had plenty of time to actually concentrate on stuff. [HE'S TWENTY YEARS OLD GUY no wait.]

[explaining]

[Ugh he's getting that look.] Look, forget I said anything. You've gotten so good at finding your own weaknesses that you tend to pile extras on. I'm trying to say that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.
