'It's too hard to hold hands when your hands are fists'

Seriously, we're all in the same situation, can't we PLEASE just TRY to get along? At least until we can find a way out of here? Geez, it's not like it's going to kill you.

Well, I'm captain of the boxing team at my school. I'd be glad to take the lead here, too, if people really wanted this.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

All because something's hard to do, doesn't mean you shouldn't try, right? And yeah, I've got my fair share of enemies, and some I'd rather see locked up then having to work with them but in this place? You can't say that working together at least until we're out of here is going to be a bad thing.

I'm really not trying to be arrogant or anything, sorry if it seems that way. It's just that it really confuses me that so many people are talking about fighting each other or how to hurt each other when it would be better all 'round to work together. Maybe that makes me short-sighted and naive, and maybe it does seem impossible, but I've seen the impossible done by people who were willing take a chance and try.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but apparently I'm the weird one for thinking that. It's really confusing.

Will do, thanks for the offer! :)

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

That might be true, but surely some of that can at least be put aside for the time being? Seems like a lot of people are bringing old grudges here.

....uh, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, sorry.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's nice that a couple of people do! Even if so many don't...

Really? You think you've seen more than I have?

I thought 10,000 years of experience was enough, but I guess I was wrong. So sorry.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I'd seen more than you, just that it's not like I don't have any experience here.

...10,000? Man, that really bites. It's kinda sad that you've been around that long and haven't experienced much of the good side of people though.

That's because they all enjoy being at loggerheads with one another. It's much easier to work together than work apart. They just don't like admitting it in any form, apparently.

I agree, too. It's a lie that it's too difficult or impossible for people to work together in this situation while still being prepared to fight. There are always going to be hateful people, just like there are always going to be differences between people, but...

Well, everyone has to learn these lessons for themselves. You're not wrong, even if there seems to be a lot of disagreement.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I just wish that people were more willing to at least try to set aside their differences.

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the sympathy.

Anyway, some people may never change, but even evil people need to get out! I hope that they'll see that eventually, but I can guarantee that not everyone will.

Some people may not be smart enough to see the need to unite, but I am. You'll always have an ally in me!

Tell me about it. You'd think I'd told them to kick puppies from the way some people are acting.

[tightsofmight]

You're not weird. You're just smarter than they are.

[thecamellia.livejournal.com]

Some are. A lot of people are just scared, too. Don't let it get you down; cooperation and trust is easier with people like you around.

[rope-victim.livejournal.com]

Too many strong personalities, definitely. But, don't worry! I have a good feeling that someday soon everyone will have to work together, rather than fight.

[jei.livejournal.com]

Why? Because I hate you all and would sooner hang myself from a flagpole with my own guts than so much as piss on any of you if you were on fire.

Fuck, I would probably be the one who set you on fire in the first place. Just to listen to you scream.

I think we need something. And it might be a good way to give people some basics in self-defense. Dunno if the nurses would go for it, but maybe if we made up some flowery bullshit about therapeutic competition?

Used to do a bang-up job of keeping my roommates from each other's throats. I'll ask.

You haven't been here very long, have you?

[anon]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

I tried it♥ He's my mortal enemy and we played a game together.

It ended with his ribs broken and internal bleeding.

But I had fun nonetheless♥

[bored-todeath.livejournal.com]

I just like to keep a track of interesting people in my special note book. Hey, maybe I can see you sometime?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Easy now, Farfarello. This one's a lost cause. Don't get yourself too worked up over him; you know we can't do anything until tonight anyway.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Geez, if I didn't know better, I'd think that was a cry for attention or something. Just a liiiitle over the top, don't you think?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

...Geez, you guys aren't planning on lynching me tonight are you? 'Cause I got plans and stuff.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

I think you're missing the point.
