VLDR: Convention of the Minds - WORST ENDING

[Hawkwing425]

And she is likely avoiding us.

[Cyantic]

Yeah. Harder still to talk to Miss Chainsaw if she won't sit still long enough for us to say anything.

[Knockoff]

We can try to convince her. But like Tom said, it’s hard to know what to say without knowing the reason behind her behavior.

Anyway, Mark, Joan, and I are all yes votes for contacting the outside. Tom, Inteus, and Maisha are no votes, yes? I believe Peter as well.

[Hawkwing425]

I'm against the idea. How would contacting the outside world reasonably help us? Especially since Mr. Johnson says that he's got enough power to control or destroy entire countries... he could probably pull a few strings to make outside help useless.

[leeten]

Doesn't seem to be anything else in here. Some breaker boxes, but considering the caution signs, probably not worth fucking with.

Mr. America does have a point, for once. I think the conversation of the lady is going to end up nowhere. We might as well focus on the hunger games that the man upstairs wants to force us through. Probably some political puzzle bullshit.

The comms are Pandora's box. Talking to the outside--that's bound to be a mess.

[Cyantic]

I doubt he has that strength. Still - they're a secret org. What possible help could we get? Not much. These are just people, trying to live their lives in the midst of a bloody civil war. They can't help us - but telling people about secret organisations is a great recipe for hysteria. And when people get hysteric, things get a million times worse.

[Hawkwing425]

Yeah.

[Knockoff]

I don’t believe the risk of contacting YPR is high. I’d like to gain a better understanding of what we could expect from the outside, even if they can’t help us directly. At any rate, we’ve been overruled. We won’t touch the comms.

I agree discussing the Strategic Decisions are important, but we have no information. I’m going to check out the diner or fusebox soon, if anyone else is interested. It feels like we’re mostly spinning our wheels here.

[PolyesterHomes]

Michael enters.

[UzayAltay]

Hi All,
What's going on ?

[Phinerxen]

The fusebox and diner's lights are off, I asked someone to turn the fuses on since they had a lighter, but I dunno if they did or not.

[Cyantic]

We'd just cause a panic. Wouldn't you freak out if a secret organisation with unknown motives is practically next door?

And yeah. I think we might as well be done here, I don't think there's much else to learn. Maybe if we split up, we can try talking to her one on one. Er, two on one or whatever. Peter, Inteus, you wanna come with me?

[UzayAltay]

Wait where are You planning to Go ?

[leeten]

Works for me. Mark looks zoned out; should we leave the guy here or drag him along?

[UzayAltay]

Hello I am here
Can , You, ....
Speak with me about situation ?

[leeten]

Maybe the fusebox room? I'm no stranger to stumbling around in the dark, and if we manage to flick those lights on, we can checkout the diner.

[Cyantic]

Mark? Eh. He'll probably find us soon - don't really like moving people if there's no reason too, you know? Fusebox sounds fine to me, don't have a lighter though. I think I'm supposed to be 10 bucks or something in the hole now.

[Knockoff]

That’s unfortunate. So is there essentially nothing to see until the lights turn on?

Perhaps I’ll go to the shop, then. I’m broke, but there’s nothing preventing some window shopping. Would anyone else be interested? Joan, Micheal?

[Phinerxen]

I think I'll take you up on your offer, check out the shop and what we can buy later on.

[Knockoff]

Commons didn’t seem to have much, but I didn’t exactly explore the place thoroughly. The smell of gasoline permeated the room, though.

Alright, I suppose we can head out then.

[UzayAltay]

I am not planning to Go Shop or commons.
What's The big thing at The left door ? I think You already examinad it deeply, and have an idea, right ?

[leeten]

Uh, sure. Mike, right? Italian girl doesn't want to join the coalition to get us all out alive, the comms connect to people from different political factions, world's more fucked than it was when we came in, Tom's straight, and there's no good way to destroy the comms. In no particular order.

This sounds okay. Shop crew, if you manage to scrounge up a lighter, meet up with us? We'll try to do what we can in the meanwhile.

Mark, sorry man. If a redhead approaches you with a chainsaw, you know what to do.

[Cyantic]

Wait, what?

[UzayAltay]

I spoke with her, and , she just seems to not believe We are be able to just say " We are making A coalition of 12 people" and leave, Than save America.

Did, did you contacted outside?
I think it may be A good idea to contact with outside.
Though it can Also backfire to us.

[Cyantic]

Saving America is above my pay grade. I’m here to leave.
