'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.

I see a lot of talk here about torture and getting revenge. Escaping will be difficult if the entire populace is after each others' throats. Perhaps a solution could be easily found if more people focused on a single goal together, yes?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I think. But apparently that's a little too hard for some people to get or something. Pity we can't have a mandatory 'get along with your enemies' day or something.

[rocksthecourt]

From the looks of things, some people here could benefit from actual therapy sessions. If it were manageable, it might not be that bad an idea.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but they seem pretty intent on fighting each other despite everything trying to snack on us here. I dunno if actual therapy sessions would help much really.

[jei.livejournal.com]

Ever since I killed that one therapist with his pen, they make me have therapy through a two-way mirror and an intercom.

Except here. Here they gave me booze and snacks.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

..........riiiiight. See this? This is what I'm talking about. Starting fights is only going to cause more problems in the long run, why don't we try working together instead?

[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.

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

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Well, not you...

[jei.livejournal.com]

Fucking do-gooders think they shit rainbows or something. Take all the fun out of monster-infested playtime.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

That just means that we'll have to inject some extra fun into playtime later, though, right?

[jei.livejournal.com]

Even though the Oracle of No Fun is back in the house?

[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?

[jei.livejournal.com]

[there's just a bunch of tears in the paper, where Farfarello started to write something but pressed waaay too hard with the pen. then a couple smears of blood.]

[rocksthecourt]

As much as I hate to say it, actually getting this many people to work together will be nearly impossible. Especially with so many mentally unbalanced hostile people.

I suppose the best we can do is work with as many level-headed patients we can find. It's encouraging to know there are such people here. Do not listen to anyone telling you this post was a waste.

[Awww, you made Lugnut sulk. <3 ]

I ONLY WANT TO TORTURE ONE PERSON. AND HE DESERVES IT.

Re: [Oh here we go. You earned yourself a lecture~ ]

[rocksthecourt]

One or many, it doesn't make it any less wrong. It's only natural to resent someone who's wronged you, maybe even wish ill against them. But to actually premeditate torture and go through with it... It seems a tad overboard, don't you think?

[Ooooh! He's not going to listen to a word you say, you know~]

[hailmegatron.livejournal.com]

NOT REALLY. WHY SHOULD IT?

Re: [This is why machines are so frustrating...]

[rocksthecourt]

Because it's simply wrong, for one. Purposely causing physical agony to another for the sake of your own personal sense of justice is no way to solve a problem. There are other means.

And there is nothing in this world a person could do that would "deserve" torture. No one "deserves" torment.

[Lugnut: *frustratesfrustrates*]

THE DECEPTICON CODE DOES NOT FOLLOW THE SIMPLISTIC "RIGHT" AND "WRONG" OF HUMAN CULTURE.

YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER MET STARSCREAM.

Re: [Klavier: *is mentally wtfing over here*]

[rocksthecourt]

[the beginning of a sentence is scratched out]

Really? Well, unless you plan to get yourself arrested, I suggest you start following. Torture doesn't carry a light sentence, I might add. For your sake, I think you'd be better off getting rid of this Decepticon Code of yours. I think a simple code of "right" and "wrong" is much easier to live by, wouldn't it?

Ah, no. I can't say I've ever met a "Star Scream." Again, no one could possibly deserve such a fate. This isn't the middle ages.

[So's Lugnut. He just doesn't GET you squishy little organics.]

[hailmegatron.livejournal.com]

...YOU... IGNORANT ORGANIC. THE GLORIOUS DECEPTICONS ARE MY REASON TO CONTINUE FUNCTIONING, AND I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR OUR CAUSE, AND NO MERE HUMAN AGENCY WILL STOP ME FROM FURTHERING THAT CAUSE.

WHAT COULD YOUR HUMAN LAW ENFORCEMENTS DO TO ME, THAT WOULD BE MORE PAINFUL THAN TWO MILLION STELLAR CYCLES AS A GLADIATOR IN THE PITS OF KAON? THAT WOULD BE MORE PAINFUL THAN FAILING IN OUR STRUGGLE TO CLAIM OUR HOME FROM THE STRANGLING HOLD OF OUR OPRESSORS, AND BEING OUTCAST, TO DRIFT ON THE EDGES OF SPACE? WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN FIFTY STELLAR CYCLES SEARCHING FOR THE LEADER YOU WOULD LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR, WHO GAVE YOUR LIFE MEANING, WHOM EVERYONE-- EVEN YOUR OWN WINGMATE!-- BELIEVES DEAD?!

YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU SPEAK OF, YOU FOOL.

Re: [Let's agree to disagree and not involve torture in this, y/y?]

[rocksthecourt]

Ha ha. Pardon. I didn't mean any offense. It just sounds to me as if you're dedicating yourself to a "cause" that produces trouble for yourself and those around you. A code that promotes torturing people is no code follow.

Maybe I don't understand what you're talking about what laws you decide to live by, but the fact remains that you are here, and we are all trapped. We are all equal victims, correct? Maybe we should be focusing more on our equal goals of getting out of here in one piece rather than wasting our time trying to get back one another, yes? We have quite enough to worry about in my opinion.

[that might be easiest~]

[hailmegatron.livejournal.com]

IT IS NOT PROMOTED, BUT IT IS USED, AND OFTEN WELL-DESERVED.

ESPECIALLY IN THIS CASE. YOUR IGNORANCE EXCUSES YOU, HUMAN, BUT STARSCREAM IS WORSE THAN SLAG, A BLASPHEMER AND A TRAITOR WHO THINKS HE CAN GROVEL HIS WAY OUT OF CONSEQUENCES FOR HIS TREACHERY. WHAT I AM PLANNING IS MORE THAN OVERDUE, AND NO LESS THAN HE DESERVES.
