Ça va, ça va, ça va?

I've already examined the FAQ, after doing a bit of digging. I would dismiss this all as nonsense, were it not that I attempted using the numbers on a piece of paper. From there, I'm sure you can guess at the result.

Très intéressant.

I'll spare the usual questions, and leave you to whatever it is you hope to accomplish. Frankly, all this talk of heroism hurts to hear! I don't have the time to spare for such nonsense. But, once more, don't mind me. I look forward to seeing how this plays out regardless.

I bid you bonne chance, Numbers Club.

[something about that weird use of French feels AWFULLY familiar, although he can't figure out from where.]

I can understand why you wouldn't want to get involved, but sooner or later you're going to be forced to do something about this. They're actively searching for us.

[cava]

We'll have to see, won't we? I hardly stand out compared to some among us.

You'll have to take my word for that much. A pity!

[audio]

[wordsgate]

Well, yes, I guess we will see. But personally, I'd try to find a way to defend yourself. You never know what they'll pick up on.

Was that supposed to be a villain speech? It kinda sounded like a villain speech, haha.

[ She sounds more amused than anything else, pretty much. ]

Oh, woe, mademoiselle, you've found me out! And like that, all of my machinations are for naught. Tragic.

[Same for him.]

A melodramatic fool with poor acting skills and no understanding of just what it means to stalk. And here I thought that the powers that be couldn't possibly find a larger waste of cells than the last round of posters.

Harsh words for a matter of differing styles. No matter.

[Hey look Cain, it's an engineering grad you may or may not have seen on campus before.]

Pretty smart to try the paper thing. That's what I tend to suggest to newbies to get past their skepticism. You realize that they'll target you too though, right? I mean, I don't know about heroism, but survival is a pretty important concept you know?

[cava]

Non, non, non! [and a wry chuckle. you fucking people, honestly.] I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. The leap from that to the sort of thing being discussed here, however, is absurd.

[these_orcs_must]

What are you gonna do instead, then?

[cava]

Watch on occasion, laugh at the idiocy of it all, go about my business as I normally would. Nothing terribly complex.

Don't you think it'll be a bit difficult to be a bystander? Seeing as what the state of the tap water is.

[cava]

Yes, I've heard about that. I haven't had the fortune of trying it myself just yet, but in the interest of knowledge, one may as well...

[yep, he's just gonna. take care of that.]

I don't see how that's a counterpoint, in any case.

[italktofish]

Hey! What's wrong with "all this talk of heroism?"

[Because who WOULDN'T want to be a hero? GOSH.]

text;

[cava]

It's absurd. I would have thought that was clear.

[testsonseashells]

Seemed less like "talk of heroism" and more like "monsters assaulting me in the street" to me.

[cava]

Self-defense is something else entirely.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about heroism, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the drama club, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Call of Duty, and I have over 8 billion confirmed kills. I am trained in fucking mind control and I'm the top sniper in the entire fictional bullshit armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of gossips across the whole high school drama club and some really unsavoury rumours are being spread about you right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over eight hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat against giant fucking scorpions wow, but I have access to every fact of your tiny malleable little garbage dump of a brain and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Uh, dude. 'Not having the time to spare' is pretty much the worst reason for not getting involved in this. You make it sound like it's a picnic or something instead of an alien invasion.

And like that you've described the level of investment it warrants!

There are a lot of people here who don't have time for this.

[Still gigglewatered, so...

huh. that voice is familiar, but he can't quite place it. ]

Finally, someone reasonable.

Hm. Obviously using a filter, so he's either paranoid or wants to think he's a badass. Gratuitous French, so he's a person of low intelligence who wants to sound sophisticated.

Probably a freshman.

French is my mother tongue. Regardless, think what you like.

[it's pretty much paranoia and a desire to distance himself.]
