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.

Comments

[foundafamily]

Exactly. They'd just use it against us.

[At least she sees sense! Most of the people in Luceti are way too trusting and Firo was prepared to have to argue his case.

He's never been called smart before, but he just blinks and answers:]

Firo Prochainezo. Yours?

[Her request for a name does seem a little abrupt, but Firo figures it can't hurt to introduce themselves, right? After all, it's not like they're speaking about their weaknesses in this conversation...]

[magicalesbian]

[For someone so paranoid, he sure gave his name out easily. Clearly flattery is getting her everywhere.]

The name's Hoshikyo! Magical girl and world traveler extraordinaire. Nice to meet 'cha!


[And about an hour or so after this conversation, his name will appear listed with the rest of them with seemingly no indication who could have possibly posted it!]

1/2

[foundafamily]

[Luckily for her evil plan, Firo is also an idiot.]

...Right.

[She's making that up, right? He'd like to ask for more details, but if she's deleting this in a moment like she said (and will totally follow up on, obviously), he figures he should say good bye.]

Yeah, well, it's nice meetin' you. Be more careful in the future, all right?

[And with that he closes the journal...]

2/2

[foundafamily]

[...only to open it a couple hours later and see that his name is on it.

His first assumption is Vegeta, because fuck that guy, but then he starts putting the clues together. Well, she was talking about deleting the post... but it's still up...

Oops.]

Hey! Was that you?!

[magicalesbian]

Hmmm? Was what me?

[Hurr hurr playing dumb.]

[foundafamily]

You know what I'm talkin' about! Someone put my name on this stupid thing!

[Did she not listen to his words of wisdom?!]

[magicalesbian]

They did? Well that wasn't very nice!

[You'd think she was talking to a kid who was complaining that someone stole his favorite stuffed animal or something.]

But I'm afraid I can't do anything about it! I mean, I can't just delete this now that people are actually using it! And if it was anonymous, I have no way of knowing who did it.

[foundafamily]

[Now that's just adding insult to industry. Firo may look and act like a child, but that's beside the point! He can't be talked to that way!

Unfortunately, when he's speaking through the journals he can't really do much. And considering she's a girl and not very old, he couldn't challenge her to a fight to restore his dignity anyway. So he decides to take the mature route in dealing with this.]

...You're a brat, you know that?

[magicalesbian]

[Well for once, being tiny, pink, and sparkly works in her favor, because she's almost 20 by now! ...not that she looks it.]

Aww, well aren't you the charmer. I'll take that as a compliment!

[foundafamily]

[Pink sparkliness for the win!]

I didn't mean it as one!

[He sighs--few things are more annoying than someone who doesn't take an insult as an insult.]

Even if you wanted to do this stupid post, you didn't hafta put my name in!

[ooc: I forgot to say thank you, so thank you!]

[magicalesbian]

((ooc: No problem! :D))

If you didn't want to be part of it, maybe you shouldn't have called it stupid to begin with? [Or maybe Kari's just a brat.]

But besides that, if you're so paranoid that you think the whole village would turn against you the instant they learn your weaknesses, then that weakness makes you a liability for everyone else who wants to go home. So you better work on that!

[...though in retrospect, tricking him probably wasn't the best way to help him deal with that paranoia. Oops.]

also *insult to injury, I can't words

[foundafamily]

What? I'm not a liability!

[He sounds way too defensive about that, because, inside, he may be a little afraid of just that. ]

Maybe you should work on your weaknesses, huh? Obviously you're a jerk, for starters!

[magicalesbian]

Hey, I wouldn't have put my own name down if I wasn't open to criticism! [Of course, she didn't put her real name down -- though not everyone knows Hoshikyo is just an alter-ego.]

And you know what? You're right! But I've embraced the fact that I'm a jerk. So I don't think it really counts as a weakness when it's more just a part of who I am!

[That's not something she should sound so proud of...]

[foundafamily]

...I'd say that makes it more of a weakness, considerin' you're gonna go around pissin' people off for the rest a' your life.

[Not everyone's as nice as Firo, you know.]

[magicalesbian]

How do you know I'm a jerk to everyone, though? Maybe I just have it out for you?

[foundafamily]

...Do you?

["Why me," he asks, not realizing that this may be because he himself is a jerk.]

[magicalesbian]

...my god, you are paranoid.

[foundafamily]

You're the one who brought it up!

[And he does have a lot of people who have it out for him, so she wouldn't be the first.]

[magicalesbian]

I didn't even know your name before today! And you already know I'm a jerk who likes to mess with people, so why would you believe me?

That leaves either you're just dumb, or you've got some serious trust issues to work out. [SAGE NOD.]

[foundafamily]

[Okay, she has a point there. ...And she is right with both him being dumb and having some issues to take care of, but he can't admit to that.]

You--! You've got some nerve, you know that? Thinkin' a jerk's a jerk doesn't mean I have trust issues.

[magicalesbian]

Maybe not, but there's a pretty big difference between thinking I'm just being a jerk, and thinking that I have something against you in particular. I don't, for the record. [Though if he keeps calling her a jerk, that might change eventually...]

Plus there's the whole "someone's gonna use your weaknesses against you" thing. If that doesn't spell trust issues, I don't know what does!

[foundafamily]

[Her first point does make sense, so he elects to ignore it rather than concede.]

No, I'm bein' realistic. Maybe not everybody, but that's what people do.

[magicalesbian]

Maybe some people, but those are the kind of people who would probably try to find something to use against you whether they knew your weaknesses or not. [She would know, being a jerk and all.]

Besides, this point of this was for other people to tell you weaknesses they think you have that you might not be aware of. Obviously, if you have a weakness no one else but you knows, it's not gonna get out. And if it already was out, then... well, this post wouldn't make things any worse?

[foundafamily]

...I guess.

[Grumble grumble]

But it's still a problem if somebody who figured somethin' out decides to spill it all here.

[magicalesbian]

Hmmm... well, how about a compromise! If someone says something seriously out of line, I can figure out a way to finagle this thing so it only shows up to you. How's that sound?

[Of course, it'd still have to be both serious enough to warrant hiding but also not dire enough that other people shouldn't know about it in case they need to intervene and help that person deal with said weakness...]
