[Video] un: foxtales
[The initial video opening just displays a new sign on the wall of the common room. It looks like someone managed to find a piece of whiteboard and an erasable marker to incorporate into the sign. What does the sign say?
10 weeks without murder
Yes, you read that right. The whiteboard part is where the 10 is written with marker. It's clearly been made to be regularly updated. Kurama's voice when he speaks is...close to his usual calm tones but a little tense.]
Many of the people here will wonder why this sign is needed. The people who need it know why. I am one of the first group to fall through the Fissures, so this encompasses the entire history we know of of outsiders in this world.
I'm going to keep it updated appropriately, since...there might be more of us, apparently.
I would like to ask that no one tamper with the sign except for accurate updates. This is not a prank and it is not for pranks. It's for people that have suffered.

Or maybe you could just shut up and let us focus on the positive aspect of this, instead of being "that guy."
no subject
The fact you have to focus on the 'positive aspect' and ignore all of its negative ramifications is why I can't let this be. Tell me, do you honestly believe the people who this sign is for will be able to focus on the 'positive aspect' of it in the event the murder clock gets reset?
You know what would be better? A sign that encourages those who have suffered to seek medical attention. We have three doctors here at the station that can help. At best, the current sign can temporarily ease those in need, but the help it gives is superficial and will lead to more suffering in the future.

Not only based on some of the responses I've seen, but from personal experience? Yes. I do.

So, how long have you been a therapist, then? Since you're clearly so experienced in this field, and all.

Touma, just stop. You're making an ass of yourself. Leave the gods-damned sign alone.
Stop, before you just make things worse.
no subject
I don't care if I'm making an ass of myself. That sign is not a good idea. Even in an ideal situation where there's never a need to reset it, we can't expect everyone who drops here to respect it. Someone is going to eventually mess with it, whether it be for malicious or ignorant reasons, and the fallout is not going to be pretty.
I've already made up my mind on what I'm going to do. I'm going to create my own sign and place it next to theirs. It'll have the three doctors' contact info and it'll hopefully encourage them to visit one. I want to remove that damn sign completely, but unless I can somehow convince at least one of them to agree, I can't. Taking it away without their consent would only harm them more and create a massive shitstorm.
no subject
I was going to leave this alone, but I can't watch this anymore. Stop. Drop it and maybe come back when you've learned to approach this with some modicum of delicacy. As it stands right now, nobody wants to hear your self-righteous harping, least of all the people who are actually reassured by this sign.
Shut up and mind your own gods-damned business.

in any way, a therapist.
Also, I do not particularly appreciate having one of my patients, especially the one that I can do nothing to magically aid, immediately running out to pick fights with people who have admitted to violent trauma within three days of his release from the med bay. At least pretend you appreciate Jetshard and myself for our efforts, thank you.

Alright, I get it. If even you believe I should stand down, then I will. I know I'm not a medical expert by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just a normal high school student who wants to help.
You know, it's times like those I wish I could do more than swing my fists around like an idiot. Here I am, doing my damnest to reach my hand out, and the only thing I can grab at is air. I'll never truly understand what they've experienced, but I still hoped I could have at least used my own experience from being forcibly dragged from world to world to give me a little bit of insight. I guess it really was incompatible.
I'll just observe for now and protect that sign from any future tampering.
