IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE!!

Accel had a good idea. I'm not going to ask all of you to spill your secrets to me or anything, but by now I'm going to hope that most of you have at least one or two people you trust.

So everyone drop their name here if you're willing to volunteer to hold secret someone's important moments. If you want to trust someone with your important memory as a precaution in case you get caught by the shadows, reply to them in a locked thread.

If you would rather be shot instead of telling someone a way you think might be able to save you, I'll volunteer to take anyone out quickly and painlessly.

ADDITIONALLY: I keep getting a ton of requests for atomic restructuring, so I'm going to do a workshop on Friday at 1pm. Show up or don't complain. And if you do show up, don't complain either. Even if you're a genius at picking things up, it'll take at least 3 hours to even make a little pin. It's not easy, it takes a lot of concentration and imagination, and you're going to have to practice on your own.

If there aren't any questions, make a comment to volunteer if you're willing to help with any of those.

{{ OOC: if your character is going to the workshop, RSVP them here. Otherwise, feel to comment around to anyone! }}

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

None of the people who claim to be intelligent ever actually get anything done, they're too busy assessing what might happen and not taking risks because of it.

That's because they don't go and do anything! If you don't do anything, of course nothing's going to happen, no matter how much you look at the situation. Even I do things like that, but at least I go and try to take action. If something bad happens, I have someone to support me, even if I fail. No matter how many times I fall, get scrapes and bruises, I just get back up and try again.

What about things that have a lot more risk than something that it's okay to fail at, even with someone to hold your back? Plus there are the kind of morons that are just fun to hang around.

Then you take the damn risk anyway if that's what you decide to do. Even if there is someone who's going to hold my back, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want because it's my own life! Or rather, afterlife, but you get the idea. But I won't judge anyone for hanging around idiots; I have people I care about that are just like that.

Let me put it this way for you: Anyone who wasn't an idiot would move on already.

You do know that you can't associate that with people who have amnesia, right?

I can count the number of people who've recovered from amnesia and disappeared right away on no hands.

Tch.

[ There's a scoff with that, though she seems to be smiling still. Though there is that bit of disappointment in her eyes. ]

Guess that means I'll have to be the first one. Hopefully I can get my memories back along with his.

[ ... Not saying who "he" is just yet, but whatever, whatever, she doesn't care or give any fucks. ]

Why are you so worried about me calling you an idiot if you're planning on disappearing as soon as you get them back?

Because it's annoying, that's why.

[ And she's stressed; she needs to take her stress out on someone. ]

Besides, it's healthy to take things out on other people every now and again. [ According to the internet. ] And I only plan on disappearing if both of us get our memories back, hopefully.

[ Depending on what those memories are, exactly. She's thinking that some of them are not going to be very pretty. ]

It's absolutely not healthy to take things out on other people, that's just avoiding the actual problem and pissing everyone else off.

[ Not that Yuri doesn't take things out on other people, but she'd never call it healthy. ]

I can tell you right now if you will or not if you can tell me what happened to land you in this afterlife.

Actually, it's been scientifically proven to reduce stress.

[ She spends way too much time using the computer, to be honest. ]

Of course, I'd never do it all the time. [ Just on occasion. Though she does take a deep sigh before speaking up again. ] Well. Everything that I had troubles with already ended back at home. Or rather, it was supposed to end. I don't know if it continued afterwards...

[ She's not going to specify, instead remaining vague. ]

So it's probably my worries about what happens to me and everyone else that got me here. Plus, there's someone here that I care about who remembers even less than I do.

In the short-term for one person and then it creates a hatred spiral that just causes more stress in the long term. Unless you can actually give a trustworthy source that it came from, "scientifically proven" is just a word they use on infomercials to fool people into buying crap.

[ That said, Yuri listens to the second part. ]

Either way, if you don't know why you're actually here beyond "probably" then there's a big chance that you'll end up sticking around after you figure out what it was you forgot.

[ Then a brief pause- ]

Though if you believe that crap about something like that being healthy, you're stupid whether you stay or not.

I'm not gullible enough to state something if I didn't check the source beforehand. Though I can't exactly give you the source because I don't have it with me.

[ There's silence from her end, for a moment or two as she takes several deep breaths in. Well, it's not that she completely believes it; it was more or less a joke when she said it the first time and half a joke this time around. Best not to say anything about it, though. ]

Anyway, even if it is a probably, it's a confident one. I care about the things that happened to me while I'm alive, and I care about the idiot too much to leave him alone.

[ Well, at least she's admitting her feelings. That's something, right? ]

And besides, it's not as if I'm an idiot enough not to know when to do things and not to do things. It's healthy every once in a while, but it's not like as if I'm going to do it every single hour unless I'm actually messing with someone. Also, just because someone does stupid things doesn't make them a stupid person. It's only when they do it often that they become true idiots.
