[Text] un: have_hat_will_travel, subject: Board Game Night?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Okay, so, we've obviously had some crap going down the last little bit. I've got one full-disclosure, and then one recommendation.

First, the full disclosure about my nature: I am a Succubus, a demon of lust and desire. No, I do not 'hunger' for the lifeforce of the living. Yes, that does mean I can influence people's minds in various ways. And Yes, that means I'm inherently strongly predisposed to both Chaotic and Evil tendencies; in my world, both of those are capitalized concepts with pretty clear definitions.

I have promised, and I'd like to keep to this promise, to not use my powers on people here unless they literally ask for it, or for my own self-defense. Also, I will be deeply worried about anyone who asks for being mentally influenced; I'm not exactly a therapist, but I'm pretty sure that isn't healthy.

That's not the important part of this post, though I'm sure I'll get questions about it.

Here's the important part: Who here, besides me, has gotten their hands on some board games? I don't have enough for a game night for the newly-expanded group at this station, and most of the ones I've gotten are... Weird, in various ways, but I'd like to work on what I can here.

Because right now, we need at least a useful semblance of camaraderie. And since I'm keeping to above-mentioned promise, that means teambuilding somehow or other, and this is my first crack at doing something about it.

Feel free to offer ideas in-person; room 21.

Ardyn is one of us. But I didn't know his side until recently. Just that they were close, and then they were enemies.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I guess what you and he went through put a lot of that into perspective, huh...

[nojohnyouare]

So you know already. It's not surprising. It's public knowledge there.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Didn't know about it before arriving here... Or a while after, actually, but the truth of it's come out, yes.

[nojohnyouare]

Everyone knows there, too. Though not at home. So this is like being back in space.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Except for being the relative safety of a Material Plane... Mostly.

[nojohnyouare]

Probably more dangerous.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Really? I'd think outer space would have weird planar rules..

[nojohnyouare]

We were on space stations. With gravity.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Space... What?

That's even possible?

[nojohnyouare]

In the future. It was 6972. 6973 when we finally left.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... That. Uh. Is a future?

[nojohnyouare]

I was taken from 1999.

[For context.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

So time travel too, then.

That one... Wow. That's actually genuinely terrifying almost as much as what I've heard about what happened

[nojohnyouare]

Mostly. But the people... Most of them were good.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Good people, huh... Dunno how many people I can truly call 'good' I've ever met. Capital-G Good is one thing, good another.

[nojohnyouare]

Why do you say that?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Good is fighting evil. Only, that doesn't actually mean much.

Good is charity. But there's plenty of charitable assholes.

If lower-case g good's about the smaller kindnesses... Then, where I'm from, it's rare indeed.

[nojohnyouare]

Maybe. We've all done bad things, too.

[have_hat_will_travel]

If doing good alone doesn't mean good, and doing bad alone doesn't mean evil...

... Well, I've thought about that a lot over the evenings.

[nojohnyouare]

Good people can make mistakes. Or do horrible things for good.

[have_hat_will_travel]

You'd think morality would be easier when Good and Evil are literal active cosmic forces one of which is part of my own body.

Not realy.
