"What is there left to fight for?"
āHeh. Boy, isnāt that a familiar question. I bet there isnāt a single replayer over, say, five sessions that hasnāt asked that, either to themselves or to someone else.Ā
āYeah, Sburb isnāt the best place. Itās tough. Grinds you down. Itāll kill you if you arenāt on the ball, and Iāve got the scars to prove it. Itās notĀ all bad, though. It used to be a lot worse, from before the IRC was a thing. No one could know if anyone from their session survived or died or what. Nothing lasted past the door.
āNow, though? You can keep in touch with the people you love. Thereās always a possibility, however small, that youāll roll with them again. Until then, you can at least talk. Itās not perfect, but itās something.
āAnd thereās parts in the game that arenāt that bad, either. Some of the aspects are a fuckingĀ joy to experience. No, I donāt know if Joy is, in fact, a joy to experience. I recommend bugging Kamila about it. Blood, Might, Flow, Light, Rainā¦ I liked Doom, too, but thatās more of a me thing than Doom being a genuinely fun aspect to play, I think.Ā
āAnd thereās the Door. Yes, I can see your expression. Yeah, the doorās busted. Or at least, it isĀ now. The gameās constantly changing. New aspects are being slotted in, as are new classes. And thereās evidence that there was changes before, the most infamous being the Clown class. So that means thereāsĀ someoneĀ working on the game. So maybe, just maybe, someone will take a look and see weāre all trapped here, and suddenly all the doors stop being broken and we can finally enter the door and go to our universes andĀ rest.
āSo. Keep your chin up, okay? Thereās stillĀ something, even if it doesnāt seem like it.ā
