un: lalli | video and text (open to both factions)

[lallipop]

[The video is only about five seconds or so of footage, filmed by someone who doesn't really seem to know what they're doing. It's set in what looks like a forest--the edge of the Gods Wood, to be exact--centered on a patch of recently displaced mud and grass. In the middle is a dirty, soggy, beaten up old wooden sign, apparently dug out of said patch of mud by hand.

Written on it are the words BALANCE MUST BE RESTORED.

Then, in a separate post entirely because Lalli isn't good at this:]

found this
what's it mean?

[ oh, he's paying attention he's just also being MASSIVELY SKEPTICAL. ]

Seems a little on the nose.

[lallipop]

it's not like i wrote it

[warfares]

[ drawing attention to the fact that lalli's getting defensive doesn't seem like it would get anyone anywhere — and, as sketchy as this whole situation seems, he doesn't care enough about lalli's feelings to ask after them — so it's time to switch gears and get back them back onto a track that's a little more promising. ]

What else did you see in the woods?

i'm so sorry

[lallipop]

trees

no it's fantastic

[warfares]

Helpful.

bless this mess

[lallipop]

also mud

[warfares]

Dry or wet?

[ is he being serious or facetious? who knows. ]

[lallipop]

if it's dry it's not mud

[warfares]

Did you find the sign in the mud?

[lallipop]

i said that too
why are you asking stupid questions?

[He's, uh, apparently not in a good mood.]

[warfares]

You said you dug for it, you didn't specify where.

[ and boy, oh boy, he loves getting sass from strangers on the network. this can only go well. ]

And why post to the network at all if you did not want questions?

[lallipop]

because i didn't know what it was

[And he's regretting that right about now let him tell YOU]

[warfares]

What did you think it was?

[lallipop]

obviously it's a sign
i don't know what it MEANS

[warfares]

[ this is hands down the stupidest conversation he's had in a while. possibly ever. and that's saying something.

the temptation to ask if lalli is honestly just fucking with him is high. ]

The network.

[ the idiot goes unsaid but can be very much felt. ]

Why post to the network if you didn't expect questions?

[ idiot. ]

[lallipop]

[Look, this guy has had two (2) whole years of childhood education in the rural post-apocalypse he's doing his best.]

because i wanted to answer MY question

[warfares]

And you expected no questions in return?
You must be new.

[lallipop]

i got here like a week ago

[warfares]

Fascinating.

Don't post to the network again, unless you indeed to answer as many questions as you ask.

[lallipop]

[FINE then he WON'T

jerk!!!!!]
