PB pesters MS

[19:10] <pigBurner> ok, here we are
[19:10] <maelstromSerpents> Eeyup
[19:10] <pigBurner> sigh
[19:10] <pigBurner> so how should I begin?
[19:10] <pigBurner> you were right, i was naïve, bla bla bla
[19:11] <pigBurner> i can't believe he did this to me
[19:11] <maelstromSerpents> Wait, I was right?
[19:11] <maelstromSerpents> About what?
[19:12] <pigBurner> remember I told you about my "contacts" and how i knew people around
[19:12] <maelstromSerpents> Yeah
[19:12] <pigBurner> well, one of them, who is the leader for the Ulm charter
[19:12] <pigBurner> ...
[19:12] <pigBurner> he tried to kill me
[19:12] <maelstromSerpents> !
[19:12] <maelstromSerpents> Why?
[19:12] <pigBurner> right after I helped him
[19:13] <pigBurner> because family
[19:13] <pigBurner> you know by now, i'm from a well off family and shit
[19:13] <maelstromSerpents> I know now
[19:13] <pigBurner> and they don't like us
[19:13] <pigBurner> but I believe in the cause!
[19:13] <pigBurner> yet it meant nothing to him...
[19:14] <maelstromSerpents> People suck.
[19:14] <pigBurner> I really believe in a world where one's life is truly determined by one's work
[19:15] <pigBurner> yet because i was born a bourgeois, i would always be a bourgeois to them
[19:15] <maelstromSerpents> Despite you living in a cave to avoid your family and only have what you earn
[19:16] <pigBurner> oh shit you are right! the cave!
[19:16] <pigBurner> ok so you got access to the news there?
[19:16] <maelstromSerpents> I do
[19:16] <maelstromSerpents> Why?
[19:16] <pigBurner> ok you haven't heard what happened here
[19:16] <pigBurner> there's a revolt
[19:16] <pigBurner> a big one
[19:16] <maelstromSerpents> UE told me general bits and pieces
[19:17] <pigBurner> I'm talking like the Rathaus will probably won't be standing in like two hours kinda big
[19:17] <maelstromSerpents> Yes
[19:17] <pigBurner> so the city is in mayhem right now, like he planned on putting a bomb under it
[19:17] <maelstromSerpents> I remember I sent you a message saying not to kill anyone
[19:18] <pigBurner> i haven't touched anyone
[19:18] <pigBurner> yet
[19:18] <maelstromSerpents> I suppose your ex-leader is still on the table?
[19:18] <pigBurner> thing is, Pierre doesn't want me alive, I think he believes I'm dead
[19:19] <pigBurner> i woke up like 10 minutes ago and almost got run over by a train
[19:19] <pigBurner> i would like some payback for that backstab
[19:19] <maelstromSerpents> Pierre
[19:19] <maelstromSerpents> Naturally
[19:19] <maelstromSerpents> Y'gonna hide out in the cave, then?
[19:19] <pigBurner> you know him?
[19:19] <maelstromSerpents> No, sorry
[19:19] <maelstromSerpents> Just trying out the name, then answering your comment about payback
[19:20] <pigBurner> probably, he clearly hated me all along, so I'll suppose everyone who wasn't my direct friend will want me dead too
[19:20] <pigBurner> heck as things are I'm not sure who is my friend anymore
[19:20] <pigBurner> thats
[19:20] <pigBurner> ugh
[19:20] <maelstromSerpents> Really bad
[19:21] <pigBurner> but yeah, the police don't want me, the military sure as heck doesn't want me, and the liberation front probably doesn't like me
[19:21] <pigBurner> so i probably have to hide until the dust settles
[19:22] <maelstromSerpents> Reasonable
[19:22] <maelstromSerpents> Have you shown anyone else the cave yet?
[19:22] <pigBurner> only one person
[19:22] <pigBurner> and she's not here
[19:22] <maelstromSerpents> Razero?
[19:23] <pigBurner> yeah
[19:23] <pigBurner> she's probably asleep right now, she hasn't replied to me yet
[19:23] <maelstromSerpents> She should be safe, right?
[19:23] <maelstromSerpents> Safe as in someone you can talk to
[19:24] <pigBurner> she's as apolitical as it gets, so yeah
[19:24] <maelstromSerpents> Good
[19:24] <maelstromSerpents> Then cave should work well
[19:24] <pigBurner> yeah
[19:24] <pigBurner> it should be
[19:25] <pigBurner> i still can't get over that he hated me all along
[19:25] <pigBurner> i helped them so much
[19:25] <pigBurner> i believed in them
[19:25] <pigBurner> i was played a fool
[19:25] <maelstromSerpents> It's okay
[19:26] <pigBurner> no, it's not ok
[19:26] <maelstromSerpents> One person being too stupid to see past blood doesn't make you a fool, PB
[19:27] <maelstromSerpents> You believed in an ideal
[19:27] <maelstromSerpents> A *decent* one, one worth believing in
[19:27] <maelstromSerpents> But every revolution's gonna have some members who just like violence
[19:27] <pigBurner> yeah, you are right
[19:28] <pigBurner> it doesn't make it any less painful tho
[19:28] <maelstromSerpents> Of course not
[19:28] <maelstromSerpents> Just as long as you don't blame yourself
[19:29] <pigBurner> well in a sense i was not able to see his intentions
[19:29] <pigBurner> i can't believe nobody told me
[19:30] <maelstromSerpents> Hold on
[19:30] <maelstromSerpents> Wait a sec
[19:30] <maelstromSerpents> Okay, you okay if I go on a bit of a tangent?
[19:31] <maelstromSerpents> S'relevant, I promise
[19:31] <pigBurner> yeah, it's fine
[19:31] <maelstromSerpents> Well, y'know all those conspiracy theorists who think there are lizard people who rule the world?
[19:31] <pigBurner> ...
[19:32] <pigBurner> yeah?
[19:32] <maelstromSerpents> One of the key ways to disprove it, or any conspiracy that'd require a bunch of people to work together
[19:32] <maelstromSerpents> Is that people *suck* at keeping secrets
[19:32] <maelstromSerpents> Especially en masse
[19:33] <pigBurner> oh
[19:33] <pigBurner> i see where you are going
[19:34] <pigBurner> hopefully
[19:34] <pigBurner> if so it would at least making getting out easier
[19:34] <maelstromSerpents> How many members did your group have?
[19:34] <pigBurner> thousands
[19:35] <pigBurner> in the city around the hundreds
[19:35] <maelstromSerpents> Then I don't think they were keeping a secret at all
[19:35] <pigBurner> ok maybe the people I was friends with weren't conspiring
[19:36] <pigBurner> still Pierre runs the whole chabang, I'm sure he'll tell people to shoot me on sight
[19:36] <pigBurner> shit I should hide this hair
[19:36] <maelstromSerpents> Except he thinks you're dead
[19:36] <pigBurner> well i don't know, I think he thinks i'm daed
[19:36] <maelstromSerpents> ... This all happened *during* the uprising, right?
[19:36] <pigBurner> yeah, not that long agp
[19:36] <maelstromSerpents> How many people were with you and him at the time?
[19:37] <pigBurner> we were alone when he pushed me out of the train
[19:37] <maelstromSerpents> Aha
[19:37] <maelstromSerpents> Absolutely no witnesses
[19:37] <maelstromSerpents> So it can be assumed you were caught up in the chaos
[19:38] <maelstromSerpents> A tragic loss of a key member
[19:38] <pigBurner> ok, that makes sense
[19:38] <pigBurner> i should still try to hide while getting out
[19:38] <maelstromSerpents> Of course
[19:38] <pigBurner> I'm not exactly... subtle
[19:39] <maelstromSerpents> Even if they don't attack you, being seen will generate a lot of waves
[19:39] <maelstromSerpents> And no.  No, you are not.
[19:40] <pigBurner> yeah
[19:40] <pigBurner> i'll see if I can find anything to cover myself here
[19:41] <pigBurner> i should be able to take leon out of the town before shit hits on here
[19:41] <maelstromSerpents> And Trot?
[19:42] <pigBurner> he's safe
[19:42] <pigBurner> don't worry
[19:43] <pigBurner> i left those two where nobody would see them
[19:43] <maelstromSerpents> Good
[19:43] <maelstromSerpents> Cat safety is the biggest concern during a riot
[19:44] <pigBurner>  well he's a sly cat, he should be safe even if he was left to his own devices
[19:44] <maelstromSerpents> Naturally
[19:45] <maelstromSerpents> It's... somewhat unrelated
[19:45] <pigBurner> ok they turned off the lights here
[19:46] <maelstromSerpents> Oh, lovely
[19:46] <pigBurner> i should be able to sneak out in a bit
[19:46] <maelstromSerpents> Godspeed
[19:46] <pigBurner> no that's great
[19:46] <maelstromSerpents> Well, then I won't take up too much more of your time
[19:47] <pigBurner> it's not like I'm sitting here waiting for people to be gone
[19:47] <maelstromSerpents> Aren't you?
[19:48] <pigBurner> i am
[19:48] <pigBurner> shit's exploding outside so there's not much people in the metro
[19:49] <maelstromSerpents> Ah
[19:49] <maelstromSerpents> Fun
[19:49] <pigBurner> but there's security personnel running around, i think
[19:49] <pigBurner> at least I heard footsteps
[19:49] <maelstromSerpents> Then yes.  Definitely wait for things to quiet down
[19:50] <pigBurner> yeah, probably until something blows up in the other side of town and they shift around
[19:50] <maelstromSerpents> Indeed
[19:50] <maelstromSerpents> That, or
[19:51] <pigBurner> being honest, I hope we succeed
[19:51] <pigBurner> ...
[19:51] <pigBurner> they succeed
[19:51] <pigBurner> god fucking damnit i'm still not used to this
[19:51] <maelstromSerpents> Hey
[19:51] <maelstromSerpents> Hey, s'okay
[19:51] <maelstromSerpents> You still have the same goal
[19:52] <maelstromSerpents> One traitor tried to get rid of you, but if they succeed, that's still a win in your direction
[19:52] <pigBurner> yeah
[19:53] <pigBurner> as long as he sticks to the values he should not be in charge anyway
[19:53] <pigBurner> unless he goes all Bolshevik on us
[19:53] <maelstromSerpents> ??
[19:54] <pigBurner>  you don't know what it means?
[19:54] <pigBurner> the Bolshevik was Stalin's party
[19:54] <maelstromSerpents> I never went to school, PB.  Don't judge me
[19:54] <maelstromSerpents> What did the Bolshevik do?
[19:55] <pigBurner> well they corrupted communism to put it short
[19:55] <pigBurner> they were oppressive in their ways
[19:55] <pigBurner> almost fascist I'd say
[19:56] <maelstromSerpents> Horseshoe effect?
[19:57] <pigBurner> pretty much
[19:57] <maelstromSerpents> Lovely
[19:57] <pigBurner> protect the regime by all means possible, sensor press, kill the opposition, invade the citizen's life
[19:58] <maelstromSerpents> And he's already begun taking matters into his own hands by murdering his... competition?
[19:58] <pigBurner> yeah...
[19:58] <maelstromSerpents> Or just someone with the wrong genes
[19:59] <pigBurner> yeah... i guess having someone related to the capitalists sitting next to him for so long didn't sound well for him
[20:00] <maelstromSerpents> So much for giving everyone a fair chance
[20:00] <pigBurner> yeah that's why I'm worried he'll turn all Boleshik on us
[20:01] <maelstromSerpents> Of course
[20:01] <maelstromSerpents> Few things worse for a movement than the leader driving it into the ground
[20:02] <pigBurner> ...
[20:02] <maelstromSerpents> You okay?
[20:02] <pigBurner> sigh
[20:03] <maelstromSerpents> Stupid question
[20:03] <pigBurner> of course I'm not ok, I jsut got thrown out of  a train into the tracks by someone who i thought was my friend
[20:03] <maelstromSerpents> Better question:  Is there anything I can do to make things slightly less not-okay?
[20:04] <pigBurner> right now? just being here helps a lot
[20:05] <maelstromSerpents> I am pretty well-known for making other bad things seem less bad by comparison
[20:07] <pigBurner> god damn it
[20:07] <maelstromSerpents> :P
[20:07] <pigBurner> ok it's been a while and I haven't heard anything
[20:07] <pigBurner> gimme a sec I'll peek into the hall
[20:08] <maelstromSerpents> Before you do
[20:08] <maelstromSerpents> There was something I was planning to say earlier
[20:08] <pigBurner> oh?
[20:08] <pigBurner> what is it?
[20:09] <maelstromSerpents> The option *does* exist for you to play innocent
[20:09] <pigBurner> hm?
[20:09] <maelstromSerpents> It'd only work on security guards, but if you can pass yourself off as someone who got caught in a crossfire and hid...
[20:09] <pigBurner> well i guess
[20:10] <pigBurner> not with how I look tho
[20:10] <maelstromSerpents> Y'never know
[20:10] <maelstromSerpents> Might be better than tryna pick a fight
[20:10] <maelstromSerpents> Just keep the option in mind, okay?
[20:10] <pigBurner> i guess if I can get something to cover myself, they'd probably put me into arrest right now just in case
[20:11] <maelstromSerpents> And then your parents get contacted and bail you out
[20:11] <maelstromSerpents> Safe in prison through the rest of the riots, then easy transport home
[20:11] <pigBurner> with how things are? probably after a day or two
[20:11] <pigBurner> if they lose
[20:12] <pigBurner> sorry but I rather stay as far from prision as possible
[20:12] <maelstromSerpents> Fair
[20:12] <maelstromSerpents> I'm just tryna come up with options for you
[20:13] <pigBurner> yeah it's fine
[20:14] <pigBurner> ok I can't see anyone
[20:14] <pigBurner> I'll ring you up again when I get somewhere safe k?
[20:14] <maelstromSerpents> Deal
[20:14] <pigBurner> see you soon
[20:14] <pigBurner> hopefuly
[20:14] <maelstromSerpents> Arrivederci
[20:15] <pigBurner> if I don't respond again... thank you
[20:15] <maelstromSerpents> You will.
[20:15] <maelstromSerpents> I just hope it'll be sooner rather than later
[20:15] <pigBurner> hopefully
[20:16] <pigBurner> bye.
[20:16] <maelstromSerpents> Fare thee well
