CITRINE

[dramatispersonae]

[The room is circular and surrounded by a series of ionic columns, the floor and ceiling stretching overhead fashioned out of cracked, white stone. The area beyond the columns is pitch black, and the room itself is lit only by dimly flickering candles. The candles rest on top of a stone table, which sits in the middle of the room.

And next to the candles rest four numbered boxes]

No, you're just going to treat me like some thing to keep safe that you don't even need to listen to--

Re: Discussion

I am listening, I'm just not doing what you want.

Re: Discussion

Like hell you are! You've just made it oh-so-very-clear that you don't care what I actually feel about a situation as long as I'm your definition of safe!

Re: Discussion

I don't know how people can have different definitions of "safe."

Re: Discussion

[chibisama]

Well, you're right dumb when it comes to people, this has been established--look, what if somebody shoved you into a box so you wouldn't be able to go anywhere ever again, where there's nothing to do, but no physical harm will come to you, is that "safe"? Because sure it is for your body, but you'd go nucking futs in about five minutes, wouldn't you?

Re: Discussion

You're not in a box, so that's a stupid example. This is just a game and it's a game where we shouldn't have to consider this stuff at all.

Re: Discussion

[chibisama]

And you're missing the entire fucking point--

[AND THEN FIRE HUGGED ME AND I DEFLATED INTO A BLOB OF FEELINGS I GUESS???]
