welcome sleepies, to our very first meme saturday! every month a little mod-hosted meme will go up for us to play around with admist the chaos, and this theme was chosen by popular demand! we've all heard about texts from last night, but have you heard of......
MURMURS FROM LAST NIGHT
strange things happen in the night. maybe you drink, or dream, or get high as a kite, and it's hard to hide it! especially when we're all collectively connected in a way! the rules are quite simple! you may even know them by now.
π post a top level for your character and include a few text starters, like the ones provided.
π interact.
π thrive.
π if you wish for your threads to be game canon, the sky is the limit (just make sure your thread partner is okay with it!).
π We might have some special guests later.
I come from a very different place than you. But I've always found anger to be a source of strength - a reminder that some fighting is absolutely necessary. Against such people as the ones you've described, I would think that's even more true.
Anger is a perfectly natural emotion, particularly when one is being exploited and abused. It sounds like you have more than enough reason to feel it.
[Silco's own anger has always made him more determined, a more vicious and dedicated fighter. Putting it away like that seems to him to be a conciliatory choice, the sort of thing that leads to collaboration and appeasement. Things he has nothing but disdain for.]
Logic has little place in a situation like that. You are free of it, for now - but remember how it made you feel. It will make you stronger.
I suppose that's the tight rope act, isn't it. It's walking along the edge of a knife - at least for Earth. Fall one way, and we may be overwhelmed. Fall the other way, and it's back to our old tricks.
[Let the anger go and possibly get conquered. Dig too deep and who knows what humanity might revert into. It's possibly only the balanced spot on the edge that's safe. The place where fury can still be productive.]
[He can't entirely disagree about anger. Captain Sisko is rarely quiet about his fury and indignation. He rarely hides his outrage. To his enemies, he is the oncoming storm and that's why he's been the ideal leader in such a terrible growing conflict. It's why the enemy must take him seriously.]
[But Sisko is also not an Augment. Julian can't help but worry about what happens if he indulges. What might he turn into? What might it reveal he was all along?]
It sounds as if you're dealing with your own injustice. Is it that bad? That anger is the only viable source of strength?
[He doesn't sound critical at all when he says it. More just curious. Possibly sympathetic. He is someone that wants to know about the suffering of others. Maybe he can't always help but he likes to at least know if there's something he might be able to offer someone.]
