I'm also letting people know that STARTING WEDNESDAY I LEAVE FOR A TRIP FOR THE REST OF APRIL!!! So I am trying to get stuff into a place where I can do CASUAL NETWORK TAGGING! WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I NEED TO EDIT IN ASHTON STARTER!!!

I think you accidentally a word in the part about monitor elections. "with May 4th through 10th"

THANK YOU. as you can see I'm in a WHEEEEEEEE place

daekie STARTER!

No worries! That is always my dread, because it's so easy for your brain to fill in the blanks when you know what it's supposed to say.

He said something interesting

I was planning on having Abel shoot a private message to Walter when I'm back fully in May if that works for you.

love it, Ian!

and thank you so much PG! I'm glad that it could be caught quickly because I want things with a significant effect on the game to, like, not need to be edited and inconvenience everyone

Babs is so cool

Driveby highfive on snarkily referrering to wardens as ~~mOM~~~

onemuon lilbeejack by the way my thought was that a good while before the post, Walter found out about Pyotr's coma and left a copy of No Exit with him.

/thumbs up!

Pyotr: DID YOU BREAK INTO MY ROOM?!?!? (he is an insane stalker. i cannot stress this enough.)

whew I am glad it is well received cause like I thought I came up with it when we were all talking though when I was getting ready to actually comment just now I was like WAIT. WAIT IS THAT TOO DIRECT.

maybe it can be set outside or something, it is not like an item of particular value or limited availability (like the knives lmao...)

* I think we were talking a while ago about how Pyotr's coma would come to light and at that time, I was thinking to myself about this idea and thought it was likely to be chill

it is a good idea. pyotr would appreciate the play and tbh i always had it in mind when it comes to tlv

he could maybe slide it under the door

Unsurprisingly the good place made me think of it. it's also like "you know Petya... what is actually your plan in this freakin place if you hate me and do not wanna be friends anymore". but also Garcin finally concludes, "Eh bien, continuons..." ("Oh well, let's continue...") this made me think Yes. This Is European Humor

"Passons." (as Stepan would say)

it's a little play. it probably could slide under a door.

I have continued to watch TGP and enjoy it

I enjoyed it when I watched it too

It kind of has that quality of feeling like RP, which I enjoy lol. In the sense that it feels like something people would just come up with for the sake of telling a story without worrying too much about whether or not it's ridiculous/silly. i think the show makes it work with its type of humor and afterlife setting

also pyotr's response to "No Exit": man, it really would be better if we literally couldn't leave.

at least those three aren't going to abandon each other...! even if they're each other's torturers for eternity!!! at least they're not leaving!!! unlike... some people!!!

Yet another harsh truth Stavrogin will impress upon Walter: the part of Pyotr that really is THAT hateful and will hold a grudge out of pride and principle FOREVER... though also due to complex feelings of abadonment, well, like, you know, it's a spectrum, we will see in practice...

pyotr will hold a grudge out of pride and principle forever. against everyone but stavrogin, who has abandoned him twice and still can't get rid of him <3

(he might abandon him if he knew... what he did...)

anstaar Erskine could get in on being super bored and reading No Exit out loud

"we can even try to do it in French and get some real laughs out of me"

maybe this IS why Stavrogin "hightails it to the monastery"... "there must be something more I can do to drive this monkey away"

Erskine is there for it! keep the french sharp!

pyotr does get mad about the monastery specifically (he stalks him so he knows he went there <3)

the stuff Stavrogin didn't tell the monk to avoid being called even crazier

stavrogin did what shatov said!!! if pyotr knew that part truly an attack

he's such a stalker and it is pretty funny

this is relevant to barge negative characters and barge positive characters in general, but especially Walter with Jarthur

> reading canon
implying walter has done anything before very recently to try and learn about the boys on even terms, rather than just filter everything through the Retelling Of Canon From Misty, A Totally Unbiased And Reliable Source

> implying Misty even RETOLD WALTER ANYTHING

walter's just making up his OWN DAMN CANON

Like he really was just like "ok so like you were harassed on a routine basis for completely unreasonable reasons like wanting to know who planted corpse parts in your room, or asking about how people have died, and so you did a shooting and then gave up" "ummm... Arthur is not always very nice but that doesn't mean your choices are right :')))"

it's very funny to me how often john warns people that arthur is an asshole. and then people piss arthur off and he's an asshole.

and they're just shockedpikachuface at john who just shrugs going "i told you"

Walter pirated the fansubs out of order and with issues missing.

Honestly I don't think anyone is braced for Walter to realize that Misty has been actually withholding crucial details instead of just being cagey about further details on unfair treatment that she has internalized she accepted

it's gonna be an exciting spiral

If there were absolutely no network then maybe he would have tried to, like, jump Arthur during a flood or something to find out what the fuck happened

Cause the network archive certainly made this A LOT WORSE but again he genuinely thought "Misty has been bullied and broken down in this place" due to many reasons from actual interactions

Though also bias because the barge is so fuckin bad, who would even choose to be here

Former kinggods like John, that's who

there's always a bigger fish walter

One thing that's fascinating to me is how much the presence of superpowers has fed Walter's paranoia and resentment

Truly might makes right on the barge

screaming

Walter: even if I accept that they free l reformed after the barge and went home intending to have a better life, what if Lottie just triggers their programming all over again? As happens routinely to demotees?
Natalie: I met Lottie and she helped me

And though I'll check again to make sure, this specifically started as public because it was only switched to private later

I feel bad because Natalie is so earnest and hopeful

But Walter is just here like

KILL BILL SIRENS

* free I = truly

I think people who know John assume he means Arthur is an asshole (affectionate) like the way guys do and then when he’s an actual asshole, like a proper terrible asshole, they are surprisedpikachu at John being so close to someone who is capable of being that nasty. They’re not acting like he never said anything. The context just made the warning land

differently from what they ended up experiencing.

no, John's usually pretty clear about Arthur being an extremely acquired taste! I think people underestimate John bc he presents as so unobjectionable, haha

Walter thinks that Arthur and John are jerks with a condescending bad cop good cop routine who think that they're self evidently right in the long term. Like that they wouldn't deny that things like "inmates aren't bad, they just need to change" or "get over yourself, this sure isn't hell" are things that they said, and Walter is just overreacting

And it's not like Walter thinks they literally eat babies or anything so he's never really thought he's wrong on the events

Once I'm back from my trip and truly re settled then I'll be doing Walter voice review again ... Hooray...

quick Walter mention for conspiracy theories

Why do you guys have to assume he would walk in and harsh your jam when you are in there minding your own business. He doesn't even go to the enclosure that much anymore, it's creepy

Bc Walter is a killjoy which is also basically what Malcolm’s dad calls him.

in there minding their own business mutilating a simulation of himself...

Which is also like. Uhhhh gee why would Walter be alarmed about EVIL DOPPELGANGERS IN THIS GODDAMN PLACE. what event could possibly have caused this to be a hill he would die on

SCREAMING

PSA I think I'm going to stay logged out for the final 48 hours or so of my trip / settled back home.

Random, but I just wanted to stop by to let you know Walter's internal monologue made me smile. Never change, you wonderful man. unless you have to to graduate or whatever, which is super lame

Awwwwwwwwwwww

Well that part will probably not change. Yay

link?

presumably this

Since that's our thread in this post

Yep. Nothing fancy; just a little taste of perfect

I love how it captures Walter's whole vibe succinctly

lol

absolutely!!

Me cringing because I typo'd "wardens" as "warens". Don't worry though. This is actually also very Walter. Like the scene where Misty cringes and edits "goose chases" to "wild goose chases"

Misty doing that is so relatable

So fucking true

yarnzipan so I do not see any mention of the checkout guns on the setting page, it is news to me, but Walter has been proactive with resources in the library like the narrating magnifying glasses, so like should he know about them? Have you a link?

they may NOT be there, he hasn't been on board for a couple of years

they were made by Ford Pines

and they were before there was the current format for jobs so it might have gotten lost
