[anonymous text] Hollow Comfort

a question
by now many of you have realized your situation
and where we are and what this place is
so to those that have embraced this world:
what do you find worthy of your time?
how do you find meaning in this nothingness?
how can you say that helping someone is worth anything?
when they might not be here next week
right now i don't see the point in anything
and would like a different perspective

[video] When the Piper Seeks his Fee...

[Vaggie looks up on the camera as she sits on a bench in Everglade looking morose as usual. Beside her are a set of boxes and bags, and she seems to be peering soberly at the camera.]

Well, it finally happened. Those little red bills they gave me are finally down to the last few. And as charming as it is to sleep out in a back alley or under a newspaper in the park, I don't really find that all that appealing.

So, uh...

...yeah, I'm asking for a job. Not asking for much, but it does have to pay. I've done some bookkeeping stuff in the past, and maybe a few odd jobs here and there. Its not exactly like I have references. But if you have something or have heard of someone that is hiring, help a girl out? Thanks.

Oh, and if that job is Torchwood -- I'm not interested.

Is honesty to oneself the thing? Pity they can't be honest to others. Still, now I'm seeing your views. The bad things are trustworthy, and good things only insofar as they're potentially bad. A little more charity and a little less stream-of-consciousness judgment might work wonders.

Ahaha, I wasn't aware the type was betrayed by looks. Do you like physiognomy? Well, secretaries don't interact with patients nearly so much as physicians do. Still, you'd like to keep socializing to a minimum? Your activity on the network suggests otherwise.

everyone is an asshole
until they are proven otherwise
i've seen a lot of 'good people'
that were really just reaching for their own selfish desires
and pushing aside others that get into the way of their ideals
you're better off being judgemental
because the only one that starts look out for you is you
if you count on somebody to help
they have to have earned it
anything less is a mistake waiting to be discovered

[She was going to make a retort but she then sort of just. Stops. Her eye moves toward Ted, giving him an appraising glare.]

...what did you just say? Are you really looking into my activity on this thing...? Are you seriously just confessing that you've been stalking me just now?

[youfool]

Is that doubting view of others something you wanted another perspective on? Or are you satisfied with it thus far?

-----

Oh, goodness no, nothing so specific.

[chikapolilla]

why would i want it changed?
that's just how the world is
what i'm looking for is something worth doing in THIS reality


-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-

That's what it sounds like to me! So, what were you doing, listening in on conversations that weren't about you.

[youfool]

I'm afraid only God and his ensouled, albeit imperfect, creations, will last long enough to be worth attending. You might like the former.

---

Haha, certainly. I'm not so vain that only the personal interests.

[chikapolilla]

you might not think the same way if you're one of the damned
or would you be one of those weirdos that would go 'i deserve this?'

-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-

Well, get interested in something that's not me, asshole.

That's creepy as fuck.

[youfool]

If one's damned, I don't see how that's God's fault.

---

Way ahead of you. You really think so? Is having public broadcasts known really so unnerving?

[That could be a useful technique...]

[chikapolilla]

way to go blaming the victim
the next thing you'll say is that everybody who is condemned deserves it
get bent

-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-*V*-~-

Know that you're conversations are being monitored by an asshole that is voyeuristically looking in, not saying anything, and making note of everything that's being said? That's how people get paranoia, dude.

[youfool]

Desert is the sole reason condemnation happens, yes. Well, if not the Omnipotence, you'll have to make do with those underneath him. There's naught else.

---

Oh, I don't see them as they go then and there, of course. Still, that's good to know, thank you. Well, good luck in finding a vocation. I think you'll find it's the easiest thing in the world to find, here.
