hey, so the mine trip was a bust.
some chick hacked some emails and shit, and basically found some conversations that said the Sage of Earth of whatever was a total hoax, but that Thunder corp was specifically searching for something called "Target 1" underground.
considering how dumb it would be to just start digging tunnels and drilling everywhere, we assumed they'd be using the mines to search.

well, we were wrong. (big surprise)

i don't know if anyone ever really officially reported their findings or whatever.
basically, there were those weird blackfuzzy hairy things and it legit looked like they were on drugs.
that was about all we found, because everyone getting those weirdass pulses.
i sure do love when all our leads run dry!!!!!!!
^^^^sarcasm^^^^^

as for happy funtime karson updates, i finally passed out after staying awake for an entire goddamn month.
and completely hypothetically speaking and not linked to finally sleeping or any pulses i may or may not have had,
i have a question.
uh

does

anyone remember dying?
like, legit dying, you are dead and gone and there's no way you're coming back through magical superpowers and it's probably your fault that you died?

EDIT: according to people who can't be classified as legally insane because of lack of sleep, there was a buzzing sound in the mines.

i thought the mind control thing was a legit thing
like the statues or whatever

but uh yeah i have to say i do not feel that was a move of an enemy taking someone seriously

or if they thought it was taking us seriously i seriously question their writing capabilities yes
i guess if we ever have to challenge them to a duel of the pens we know we'll win hands down

go team us

we should write a better speech and send it to them.
it'll scare them off.
put them in their place.

clearly the best plan of attack any of us have had yet
should we crib from rpgs as heavily as they obviously did or go all original

no.
we need to show them up in every way we possibly can.
we are tolkiening this shit.
all original.
all creativity.
take that, you corporate bastards.
you won't know what hit you.

i will provide soda and chips for the brainstorming session haha.
it would be fun to do, you know.
if it wouldn't blow the hackers' cover.
i wonder if we should all sort of play along to that still.

though i do wonder about "target 1".
and how many other targets there are, and what they are.

yeah seriously.
and like why the fuck aren't they using the mines?
why did they even put that fakeyfakeshit sage there?
are they just drilling holes somewhere in the city?
probably in the the ghetto or something.
that's so discriminatory against lower socioeconomic classes, damn.
what the hell do they even want????
it would be nice if we had a fucking LEAD or two to follow.

hm
well, there are more ways to go underground than just in the mines
perhaps we should invest in looking into maps of the city
specifically those for maintenance tunnels and sewers and the like

but yeah i'm not
sure
why the fake sage
unless they were trying to keep us occupied with the mines?
i'm not sure why you would give people an incentive to search a place where something you want is
now that i'm thinking about it

oh gross please don't tell me they're in the sewers NO ONE WANTS TO GO DOWN THERE.
NO ONE.

the whole sage thing is so goddamn dumb.
like we probably wouldn't have been all that suspicious if they DIDN'T set that up?

if we had to i would be okay with going down there actually

...yeah i
am not actually sure what the point was
i guess just to trap people in the mine?
maybe...?

okay im all about the friendship and being loyal and doing everything for people and shit,
but i'm drawing a line at the sewers.
you go to the sewers, you go there alone.
that is just way too fucking gross for me, sorry.

the mine thing was such a dumb idea.
our enemies are fucking morons.

i am not sure who has enough loyalty to me to brave that actually
if anyone
anyway i said "if we had to"
i wouldn't go down there for fun!

pretty much
i'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing
since an intelligent enemy is dangerous
but an enemy that might hurt you through casual blunder is also dangerous, albeit in a different direction

they've got mindcontrol, mysteries, and money, i guess.
and somehow they have power over the water supply or something-- though that was really fucking dumb too.
if they want to get rid of us, just put something in the water supply that makes us all kill ourselves or something.
not laugh a lot and then regain more magical powers.

i feel like we've got the better chance of coming out on top once we figure things out.

do they know about the magical power regain thing though i wonder
i mean if they do
it does seem rather idiotic to help that along
since some of us seem to be getting back skills that could make us more of a threat than we currently are
and while i admit the laughing thing could possibly be used to pinpoint us it seems rather haphazard and not well thought out

:) you're doing well grasshopper!!
the path to optimism is beneath your feet!

i will become the goddamn optimism champion.
how's this for optimism:
most everyone who went into the mine got some kinda pulse, right?
what if we just went into the mine again.
and again.
and just basically haxx the system.

would that work though
i mean the water thing seemed to have a cut off at one

though i wonder if finding the source of that buzzing would be useful

what was the buzzing like? was it loud or what?

sort of faint and low and
i don't know
i couldn't tell where it was coming from at all!
but several people i was with heard it, too

should we go back?
go deeper?

dunno.
it'd be up to everyone else, really.
it's possible that finding the buzzing wouldn't be a good thing
but i think it might be worth it

why didn't we just go deeper while we were there?

stuff was attacking us and we couldn't find the source basically
was what i got from it

we needed more guns.

no, no we did not!
shooting a gun inside of mines???
REALLY?

*more guns*

i feel like shooting a gun in a mine is a really bad idea though
