North, I don't know what to say, and not in a mean way. I hate seeing people in pain. Always have, always will. And I always want to try to "fix" it, to "make it better". But no matter how much I want to, I can't "fix" what's upsetting you. What's more, I think that even trying to would be insensitive at the very least. You're going through so much, and there's nothing I can say or do that can take away what you're feeling, or make all the problems fix itself. But what I can do, and what I want to do, is listen. If you want to talk about your life, your hobbies, anything other than these plots or plans, I will listen. I will talk to you. Not because that's the mission, not because it's a way to restore SAN, not because we're stuck together. But because you deserve someone who can listen to you, who can talk to you and not throw in a meme or reference in every other post. You don't have to; God knows that if a voice in my head started telling me to talk about my home life in the middle of a warzone, I'd ignore them too. But I want you to know that I and the others are here. And I don't plan on going away any time soon.

(OOC: @Cetashwayo, you are a phenomenal writer. I saw that in Sworn to the State, and it's even more evident here. You have a great sense of character, and you've made North feel real in a way that I haven't come across before. If most of my posts take this concerned and emotional tone, it's both because that's the character I'm going for, and because I legitimately care about North's well-being; that's how well she's being written. Props to you, man. Props to you.)

It shouldn't be. We get too caught up in talking about like... the mechanics and what's going on in your world to the point that we forget about you. And that's cruel and unfair. This is all happening to you. Sure we got sucked into this, but you're in the same boat as us; in many ways you're worse off. You deserve to be recognized, and your desires should be appreciated. In many was our priority has been neglecting you in favor of all these cool shiny things and learning shit, and that's unfair. You deserve love and support and at the moment, we're the only people that can give that to you that you can remotely trust, so it's our duty to. No, we shouldn't do it because it's our duty. We should do it because it the moral thing to do. It's moral to care. To have empathy for somebody in pain, suffering, somebody in a situation well over their head. Against forces they don't understand. And I for one would like to apologize for the fact that we, to an extent, seem to have forgotten about that. That this isn't about us and learning things to add to a little spreadsheet. That you matter too, and that we need to be taking you into account.

I, I, am not good at apologizing when I make a mistake, like forgetting that this is us assisting you, not piloting. And, uh, sorry about not thinking much about your wishes. I'll try to do better.

We're all here for you, North. Never forget that.
 
TrueNorth: okay cool it guys this is all very nice but now ive got several voices whispering in my head how much theyre here for me
TrueNorth: lets dial it down a bit
TrueNorth: thanks tho
 
oook, that stuff out of the way, I think a blend of North-centric stuff and mechanic-centric stuff would be the way to go here? Maybe a split? That way we get stuff that she deserves to know, and some bonus goodies.

With risk of... doing it all over again, sorry. We're kind of a mess sometimes, as I'm sure you've noticed.
 
Back to planning then. Errrr. I cannot into brains right now. My list is up there, the repository exists (and probably should be updated), I've said my piece, everyone have at it while I go figure out how headaches work in cyberspace.
 
Cool it my dude. People can post whenever they want. Don't get too engaged with this that you start calling people in like that.

Vote won't close until tomorrow anyways.
 
That-Random-Guy said:
Ahem. We would like to hear some people chime in on this.

In a attempt to be polite, I shall call those who have posted a great deal and are recently online.

Calling @Arcus, @Terrabrand, and @Zaealix.

Hisss. There. That's your feedback. (but seriously what Cetash said. Don't just go and tag people for what amounts to no reason. I'm half following the events and if I had an opinion you'd see it)
 
I actually already voted on this thing as well as doing several effortposts as you SVers might call it this round- I think I've put in my pound unless I've successfully missed the major points in the discussion?

This may seem like a jerk move and go "girl go read my posts" if you want to but can you summarize overall what you think? Sometimes the way your posts are formatting, I think it is, is a little overwhelming for me ^_^;

ShiftySpooks: Just give me the files. It's routine. Don't be so fussy about it. Don't understand why humans are always so irritable about it. OH NO, PLEASE DON'T BORE A DRILL INTO MY VIRTUAL HEAD!!! I MIGHT GET THE OOF OUCHES. That's how it always goes. And then afterwards they say, jeez, Spooks, thanks to you I was able to get an enormous amount of data about my strengths and weaknesses and how to improve so I can survive for more than a metaphorical moment. You are so incredibly intelligent. Please watch American Beauty (1999) with me.

See, this is how I know you're lying. Nobody wants to watch American Beauty, especially not since #metoo. Like, you thought that movie hit peak creepiness, and then turns out Spacey wasn't doing as much acting as we all would've liked.

Also fuck the Yankees.
 
> Ask Spooks what other movies he likes

I mean if this works we'll get to hear all about his bad taste in movies but if it works he'll be too busy talking about his bad taste in movies to poke around in our brain
 
At the same time, we may not want him to talk too much. He seems careless and when he told us that the M-movie should not be mentioned, he also has it as recorded message and used it twice. :/

TrueNorth: so yeah all this stuff about the mechanics and surviving and whatever is cool i like it but i do kinda want my family to know im ALIVE

So, had you ever heard about cyberghosts before you became one? Because you're not the first. If it is a secret, then someone or something is keeping it so.
 
I'm trending towards this [] Give them the barest minimum not to arouse their suspicions. but mixed with a healthy dfose of questions to figure out what's going on and maybe find a way to contact North's family. Although I'd give those questions to Sofya since she seems a lot nicer in that regard than Spooks.

That the doggo can talk makes perfect sense since the fragments are cobbled together from online personalities, so of course the dog would have to be able to talk/type if it was able to use a computer when it was still alive. It's probably just shy around strangers.
