Be more specific. Yeah? Join the club. In a civilized court, that sort of thing doesn't hold. I guess we'll see how it's handled by this government.

all of it it's a lot? i just thought he was kind of grumpy... you say that like there are any civilized courts here. i should be in jail for what i did with that relic, but i'm not.

Some people are busy bees.

[Well. He agrees with Archie there, but not exactly for the same reasons... Still, he's trying not to let his politics show too much.] That's another question of the responsibilities of mind control, isn't it? Does what you did count as manslaughter, or should you be found unfit to be tried, under a plea of insanity? That's a question that a jury should deliberate, or a supreme court. Instead, it's been simply waved off, hasn't it.

[He's not trying to make Archie feel worse; but those were the facts. ImPort crimes were simply looked over, shrugged off. A slap on the wrist- if that.]

I'm not a fan of how imPort's crimes are handled in this world, but with the variety of circumstances and powers at play, I must also admit it's difficult to form a blanket justice for our ilk. That doesn't mean nothing should be done. Maybe that's what those who agreed with Dooku were intending, even if his personal dog in the race was based in greed.

[like the nice priest was part of it?? whomst are you. what are you suggesting. archie assumes duo spends his time reading the bible and lecturing kids or whatever the fuck.]

yeah i get you you think it'll be the same? even if all the shit he's saying is true?

[Heeey, he doesn't lecture them! He's the fun priest.]

I hope it won't. Even if it has to be because the government wants to make an example of him, his crimes are severe enough that something ought to be done.

[And that'll have the convenient side-effect of showing him just where the government's priorities lie.]

what if they don't

Then I guess [we take matters into our own hands] we see what the politicos might do with it. If they really want to send the message of 'yes, please, overthrow our government, we'll do almost nothing to stop you'- hey, I'm not going to tell them how to live their lives.

[Well, he will. It'll be less 'telling', though.]

like dooku's shit'll be the catalyst?

For others to try? No, I don't think catalyst is the right word. He was the loudest and most visible, and perhaps the best organized yet, but I'm sure other dissenters have been present much longer. If you mean for the government to crack down on imPort rabble-rousing, well, that's the reaction I'm waiting to see they'll take or not.

i see what you mean others? i guess they're better at hiding than him, and that's why he was the one that this happened to i dont know how i feel or what i want to happen

It's possible he himself was being used. In any case, I wouldn't rest easy thinking that he's the end of it. Well, I've just got done giving you my thoughts on it, but I think every imPort should form their own opinions on matters like this, without too much influence. I won't say I don't think you need to care, but some people have more on their plate than others. [Like, maybe worry about your pressing emotional issues before worrying about drastic cosmic consequences, Archie.]

that would be twist if dookie was being used by the actual government here though it can only go back so far, right? my thoughts begin and end pretty much at drinking a glass of red wine and shaking my head at the news reporting it before changing the channel though i did think dooku was a good person for a time did you know i hugged him once? anyway he helped maxie get a job so i'll talk to maxie to make sure he didn't bring it with any of the caveats that he did for me though i did say to him i'd owe him instead of maxie idk this is stupid

[Duo had ...thought of that, that there was a government mole within the Constellation, but he has his doubts that any such mole led to this result. This, he's fairly sure- between his contact with these "Phantom Thieves" and Adachi- is the result of good old fashioned internal imPort sabotage.]

[Which is far less worrisome.]

It's possible, I guess. I sure hope not, given what that would mean for the rest of us. But I feel like if they intended to make an example of him from the start, things wouldn't have gotten to this point, exactly. Making an example of him now makes their case more genuine, as well. One can hope. Some unsolicited advice, keep it that way. This junk's tiring. Okay, but serious question: How did you not die?

he yelled a lot i'm not sure actually i barely remember it

Well That's still not death, so I guess technically 'mindwipe' is an answer.

nah it wasnt that either we were in public it was just a while ago

as far as you know

pls dont seriously

Bad time huh How long you been here?

evil charles xavier clone just over a year

[Oof. Bad. The worst. Guy was strong.]

Knew it. One year mark is just enough to have the whole run of the imPort experience under your belt, mindfucks included. By this point you're entering the 'acceptance' phase, where you push through all your acquired traumas, slow on the breakdowns and exit out the other side into a kind of grumbling and tortured acceptance. Love isn't dead yet, but it's pretty damn close. It's alright, we all get there when we last enough.

i'm pretty sure i passed that a while ago whatever happens happens. i just want to try and help people through it where i can.

Damn it's like that? This place is a little better organized, isn't it. It's nice having less to worry about in terms of survival while you're suffering your 3rd breakdown of the season. And yet still, no damn therapy. How about that group you were thinking of, some months back? Still interested?

i wouldn't know. i have nothing to compare it to. i got healing powers off the porter. breakdowns can wait? me wanting to cry about how unfair everything is doesn't mean shit when there are people who are hurt and actually need help. we're all going through the same thing. it's still on the table. something like that isn't easy to put together and i'm trying to strike a balance of it developing in a way that isn't like a government run operation but still structured enough to not be chaotic. i've done it before, i can do it again. just can't really do much planning when i'm dead.

You got a pretty good outlook on things, most imPorts considered. Certainly, it's better to have things well organized beforehand so a sudden dePortation doesn't cause everything to crumble. Spreading responsibility out amongst multiple imPorts and continually recruiting additional help would be my first idea, but on top of that I believe that natives should be involved as well. Natives who believe strongly in cooperation with imPorts. There's no positive future for imPorts in this world unless they gain true harmony with natives. Not simply for resources or even political reasons, but because there's no way everyone will be able to come to an understanding if we can't even comprehend the common ground we stand on. And for God's sake, no imPort therapists. Every single one is a crackpot.
