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.

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...]

[foundafamily]

See, that sounds great and all, but you haven't exactly shown yourself to be trustworthy.

[magicalesbian]

Ah. Right. [She actually sounds like she forgot for a second.]

Well, I guess you could just post up your own plea that people be considerate towards you and just filter all criticism directly to you? But I guess that would kinda defeat some of the purpose...

[foundafamily]

What, the public shaming is an important part a' all this?

[magicalesbian]

It's not shaming! [Not completely, anyway.] But just knowing your weakness isn't going to be enough! So I figured, if people laid everything out here for others to see, then if there's something someone else can help them with, maybe they can do something about it!

[foundafamily]

[Ugh, that actually does make sense. Time for an ad hominem attack, then.]

You know, you've got a lotta faith in people for a total jerk.
