animatedHumorist [AH] has created a group memo.
animatedHumorist [AH] has renamed the memo "XDXD The Fuck 'Em Up Skorpelog XDXD".
animatedHumorist [AH] has disabled self-banning and self-withdrawl.
animatedHumorist [AH] has added lockdown.
AH has annexed existereOracle [EO] into the conversation.
AH has annexed unclaspedKahuna [UK] into the conversation.
AH: XDXD Okay. XDXD
AH: XDXD I'm not going to sit here and pretend like you two need to be #1 supportive superfans of each other. Singing fucking kumbaya around the ceremonious torching of all our flaws and feelings isn't the way this world works and we all learned that at a way-too-young age like all hopeful trolls seem to. Regardless, congratulations! We are a part of the enlightened now. XDXD
AH: XDXD But frankly, I'm sick and tired of this real silly shit you're pulling in all the other group memos. It has become impossible to contact Murrit outside of DMs. XDXD
AH: XDXD And I am NOT putting my big wall of logistics into some newfangled sci-fi duplicator to regurgitate it back to the loner kid in the corner. XDXD
AH: XDXD I hate repeating myself when it comes to things I don't care about. XDXD
AH: XDXD And no, I'm also not kicking Ellsee out. Are you kidding me. XDXD
AH: XDXD So right now, we're gonna try to put our differences aside and learn to fucking TOLERATE each other, at least. It gets old real fast watching you two go at it. XDXD
AH: XDXD The name is sarcastic, by the way. The main goal of this tedious exercise is actually NOT to fuck each other up. I've graced this memo with the brilliant subversion of normal speech connotations. XDXD
AH: XDXD And as you can see Murrit, I've added that new Skorpe feature that essentially acts as a grub safety lock. I've foiled your great escape plan. XDXD
AH: XDXD Now play nice you two. XDXD

EO: Oh wow, ArcjƩc¡¡ RƩal nicƩ of you to just drop mƩ in hƩrƩ with this bittƩr tropical mango and thƩn lƩavƩ mƩ high and dry¡¡
EO: I know you can still sƩƩ this¡¡
EO: ARCJƩC¡¡
EO: =>:(
EO: Okay finƩ, I guƩss I'll start.
EO: Hi thƩrƩ, Murrit¡¡
EO: I'm not rƩally surƩ what I'vƩ donƩ to Ʃarn your irƩ, not likƩ you'd tƩll mƩ anyway¡¡ But as ArcjƩc said, if this is causing troublƩ in thƩ group, thƩn wƩ'vƩ gotta try to talk to Ʃach othƩr. As much as you'vƩ ƩxprƩssƩd how I should "stay away" from my friƩnds if I rƩally carƩ about thƩm or whatƩvƩr, I don't want to bƩ on the run from the pƩoplƩ I lovƩ.
EO: I'm tirƩd of running.
EO: So can you just stop bƩing vaguƩ and sƩnding murdƩr dronƩs in liƩu of having an actual convƩrsation¿¿
EO: prƩtty plƩasƩ¿¿

UK: >([well sry 2 pop ur candy c#erry but t#eres not#in 2 say]
UK: >([stop bein sooo mad lol]
EO: No, I will not¡¡
EO: I'm trying to makƩ pƩacƩ and you'rƩ not ƩvƩn trying at all¡¡
EO: Look, I'm sorry for whatƩvƩr it was that I did. But I'm not a mind rƩadƩr.
EO: I wanna know what's going on.
unclaspedKahuna [UK] has tried to withdraw from "XDXD The Fuck Em' Up Skorpelog XDXD". Withdrawl failed!
-- Really? This is the thanks that animatedHumorist [AH] gets for setting up a last-minute code red fueled rage intervention? You try to leave even though he specifically told you that you won't be able to? He expected more from you! Get back in there this instant and start exchanging whatever mix of assorted phrases comes pouring out from your thinkpans! --
UK: >([dam arc man]
EO: Ha¡¡
EO: WƩll, as long as wƩ'rƩ both stuck hƩrƩ.
UK: >([Y do u wanna drag t#is on t#o]
UK: >([Liek]
UK: >([W#at's t#e point x-actly]
EO: You'rƩ the onƩ dragging things on, not mƩ¡¡
EO: ListƩn.
EO: I'vƩ bƩƩn talking to CaldƩr.
UK: >([wat]
EO: HƩ hasn't told mƩ much about thƩ friƩndship you two had, but I do know that hƩ carƩd about you. HƩ valuƩd your rƩasoning in thƩ world and hƩ usƩd it to try and bƩttƩr himsƩlf. And thƩn all of a suddƩn somƩthing changƩd.
EO: And you abandonƩd him.
EO: You cut yoursƩlf off from ƩvƩryonƩ, just likƩ my circumstancƩs havƩ donƩ to mƩ, for thƩ most part.
EO: But now you'rƩ forcƩd to talk to mƩ.
EO: I know what it fƩƩls likƩ to bƩ alonƩ, Murrit. It Ʃats away at you bitƩ by misƩrablƩ bitƩ until you think thƩ world is just bƩttƩr off without you. So why ƩvƩn try¿¿ And it gƩts so hard somƩtimƩs to stay optimistic. ƩvƩn if you do find pƩoplƩ who lovƩ and accƩpt you, you sƩcrƩtly wondƩr how long it'll takƩ bƩforƩ thƩy grow tirƩd of you. I dunno. But thƩ point is, I think wƩ'rƩ both morƩ similar than wƩ rƩalizƩ. And I don't think I dƩsƩrvƩ this animosity from you. I'm willing to listƩn.
EO: I just wanna hƩlp.
UK: >([shut the fuck up.]
UK: >([you don't know anything about me.]
UK: >([if this is some weak attempt at trying to sympathize with me then you're doing a pretty shit job at it.]
UK: >([you will never know what i've been through.]
UK: >([do not compare yourself to me.]
EO: You'rƩ right, I don't know what you'vƩ bƩƩn through.
EO: And you don't havƩ to tƩll mƩ. I can rƩspƩct that.
EO: But I think I strugglƩ with somƩ of thƩ samƩ stuff you do.
UK: >([stop trying to appeal to something that isn't there.]
UK: >([you're a danger to this friend group, ellsee.]
UK: >([you fuck around with the occult. you perform rituals when you think you're alone. when you think no one is watching.]
UK: >([well.]
UK: >([i am.]
UK: >([and i know foul shit when i smell it.]
EO: I could arguƩ that you'rƩ prƩtty dangƩrous, too.
EO: You usƩd to KILL pƩoplƩ¡¡ And you triƩd to kill mƩ too¡¡
UK: >([fuck off.]
UK: >([my past isn't relevant to this conversation.]
UK: >([this is the present.]
UK: >([there's something bad inside of you.]
UK: >([and i sure as fuck don't want it near my friends.]
EO: Wait.
EO: How did you know¿¿¿
EO: How did you know about thƩ ritual¿¿¿
UK: >([doesn't matter.]
EO: Umm, yƩs¡¡¡ It vƩry much doƩs¡¡¡
EO: You can't just say shit likƩ that and ƩxpƩct mƩ to movƩ on¡¡¡¡
EO: How thƩ FUCK did you know, Murrit¿¿¿¿
UK: >([i got tabs on you.]
UK: >([got tabs on the whole damn crew.]
UK: >([trying to shape up and play my part, i guess.]
EO: =>:0
EO: YOU WƩRƩ SPYING ON MƩ¿¿¿
UK: >([don't take it personally.]
EO: No. NO. How darƩ you prƩach to mƩ about what a horriblƩ pƩrson I am, how DARƩ you makƩ mƩ fƩƩl bad about mysƩlf simply bƩcausƩ of my ancƩstry, whƩn all thƩ whilƩ you'vƩ bƩƩn pulling THIS SHIT. Now you'rƩ gonna listƩn to MƩ.
EO: I'vƩ nƩvƩr donƩ anything to harm you. And it sickƩns mƩ to know that you'd think so low of mƩ that I'd hurt our friƩnds¿¿¿ This goƩs both ways. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MƩ, ƩITHER.
EO: Don't makƩ assumptions. Don't distancƩ yoursƩlf furthƩr from this. You havƩ no fucking ƩxcusƩ.
UK: >([god, you are just like him.]
EO: WHO¿¿¿
UK: >([listen.]
UK: >([this game is the real deal, ellsee. people are going to get hurt.]
UK: >([those cameras were there because i didn't want people to get hurt. if i'm able to prevent it in any way, then you better fucking believe i'm gonna.]
UK: >([but now it's out of my hands.]
UK: >([but this isn't. you aren't.]
UK: >([i don't know what you're capable of. not gonna let this slide.]
EO: You'rƩ goddamn right, you don't know what I'm capablƩ of.
EO: But I would nƩvƩr usƩ any of it to hurt thƩm.
EO: ƩxƩrcisƩ a littlƩ trust again, why don't you¿¿
UK: >([i can't afford to put my trust in you. not yet.]
UK: >([but apparently, you serve a greater role in this game.]
EO: I...
EO: I gƩt that.
EO: Trust is a finitƩ rƩsourcƩ, I guƩss.
EO: Can I ask you somƩthing¿¿
UK: >([fine.]
EO: If you carƩ so much about our friƩnds, thƩn why do you push thƩm away¿¿
UK: >([you wouldn't understand.]
EO: Try mƩ.
EO: I mƩan, if you want.
UK: >([nah.]
UK: >([it's not worth getting into with you.]
EO: I will say.
EO: It is admirablƩ how much you still sƩcrƩtly carƩ about thƩm.
EO: CamƩras in ƩvƩry hivƩ is onƩ hƩll of a dƩdication.
UK: >([thanks.]
EO: I carƩ about thƩm too. You do know that, right¿¿¿
UK: >([honestly i couldn't give less of a shit.]
UK: >([it's good for you that you care about them. but it makes it a hell of a lot harder to know what's gonna happen.]
EO: What do you mƩan¿¿
UK: >([there's no algorithm here. no ass-saving smart-ass map that comes with this fuckfest.]
UK: >([i just wanna make sure things run smoothly.]
EO: I undƩrstand.
EO: I guƩss that I also do, in a way.
EO: You know.
EO: You'rƩ a rƩal tough cookiƩ, Murrit.
EO: A rƩal piƩcƩ of work.
UK: >([well stop the fucking presses cause there's a newsflash.]
EO: I mƩant it in a good way this timƩ¡¡¡
UK: >([maybe.]
UK: >([bye, ellsee.]

EO: WHAT¿¿¿
EO: HOW.
-- existereOracle [EO] began trolling animatedHumorist [AH]--
EO: HƩy ArcjƩc.
AH: XDXD Hey yourself. XDXD
AH: XDXD So. How did it go? XDXD
EO: Don't you alrƩady know¿¿
AH: XDXD Nope. XDXD
AH: XDXD Muted the memo as soon as I went to sleep. Don't know Captain Jack Shit about what groundbreaking discoveries happened in there. XDXD
EO: Oh, rƩally¿¿¿
EO: I thought you wƩrƩ just snooping around. Watching from in thƩ shadows and all that othƩr cryptic stuff.
AH: XDXD I would never intrude on the sacred practice of two trolls airing out their petty grievances with one another! XDXD
AH: XDXD Already have too much of that in my own life. XDXD
AH: XDXD So what thrilling developments did I have the misfortune of being blind to? XDXD
EO: It wƩnt prƩtty good, actually.
EO: BƩttƩr than I thought.
EO: Murrit managƩd to lƩavƩ, dƩspitƩ that convƩniƩnt function you addƩd.
AH: XDXD Of course he did! XDXD
AH: XDXD It's just one fall from grace after another. Repiton truly abhors my existence! XDXD
EO: But I, um.
EO: I think I likƩ hƩr.
EO: Murrit, I mƩan.
EO: ShƩ has a tough ƩxtƩrior but whƩn push comƩs to shovƩ, shƩ rƩally doƩs carƩ.
AH: XDXD Are you serious? XDXD
EO: YƩah¡¡
EO: I don't know how shƩ fƩƩls about mƩ.
EO: But uhh... is thƩrƩ any chancƩ you could sƩt us up togƩthƩr again in thƩ not-so-distant futurƩ¿¿¿
EO: =:)
AH: XDXD Absolutely the fuck not. XDXD
EO: Aww, comƩ on¡¡
AH: XDXD If this newly discovered fondness for our dear violetblood can in any way be separated into squares, then I'll just see myself out of the whole damn situation and go hurl myself off of the nearest cliff. XDXD
EO: I don't know¡¡ FƩƩlings arƩ confusing¡¡¡
AH: XDXD If that's not a fairly suitable and potent understatement, than I don't know what is. XDXD
