I don't understand how any of you can be so used to your world changing around you, for better or for worse. While I do understand that many here have dealt with this for almost years on end now, and while I do understand that this is a volatile world to begin with, how can you find yourselves settling in in spite of the circumstances?

Are we simply placed in favorable conditions even in spite of the dangers? Why are we not easily targeted? I'm sure many of us were less than subtle, even if we were dressed the part.

[Annie pauses for a minute or two, staring at her words. She shakes her head, thinking "It doesn't really matter, does it?" before attempting to remove what she wrote. She'll tear the page out of her journal outright, but that doesn't mean people won't see what she's written thus far...]

[ Alas, magic journal. ]

There's no 'used to it'. It happens, and then it doesn't, and that's all there is.

Sometimes people yell and cry about it afterward. It doesn't change anything, or make anyone feel better, except maybe the castle.

How people act isn't necessarily how they feel. Humans are the most contradictory.

How morbid. That must mean you've got some good stories waiting to be told.

[Mabel was approaching the last lines when the page is ripped out. She makes a startled noise and gawks at the page.]

Hey, I was reading that!

[It's Annie! Hi, Annie! She isn't familiar with her handwriting so this is a nice surprise. Like finding a toy inside a cereal box. Expected at some point, but still really great.]

Aw, come on. It totally wasn't! It was a valid question... statement. Thing.

I've only been here a few months, but I suppose I've seen stranger things in my time. The changes are awful, especially when they force the rest of us to become human, but did you ever consider the fact that this place is way better than where some of us came from?

It's become clear to me that people who have been here much longer have tried endless ways to figure out some way to control things or escape. I'd rather take the happiness that I've been able to find here and enjoy it for what it is for once in my life than obsess over something that honestly seems to be a giant waste of time.

I'll help out where I can and I'll do my best to keep others safe, but I'm not going to waste my own time and energy looking for a way out where there isn't one.

You either get used to shit happening or you go crazy. I'd rather not go crazy.

That might have been easier to tell if you didn't rip the page out. Seems like a big picture issue at the heart of it, anyway, if you're worried about people "settling."
putuporshutup: ([Speaking] [Well then])

[personal profile] putuporshutup 2013-11-20 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm just saying that this place really isn't that bad for some people. It even starts to sound ridiculous when people complain about it.

Not saying that's what you're doing of course, since you're just curious, but that's my two cents.

It's kind of a weird thing. Some people handle it better than others.

[A... pause... he knows Joshua's handwriting that little--] Don't listen to that first kid, though. He's a moron.

It's mostly the lack of constant torture that does it for me, but the perks are nice, too, I guess.

Well, what else can you do? After the first day or so, freaking out seems kinda pointless. You just gotta roll with it or else you're not gunna be able to do anything else.

I was pretty fucking freaked out, yeah, but we can't control this shit. So we just have to endure.

You've lived here for so long, and died, and still so easily creeped out? Maybe you need to marathon some moving pictures, some really scary ones, and then you'll be immune.

[ No he's right Joshua is a creeper. ]
