"What is there left to fight for?"
âHeh. Boy, isnât that a familiar question. I bet there isnât a single replayer over, say, five sessions that hasnât asked that, either to themselves or to someone else.Â
âYeah, Sburb isnât the best place. Itâs tough. Grinds you down. Itâll kill you if you arenât on the ball, and Iâve got the scars to prove it. Itâs not 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.
âNow, though? You can keep in touch with the people you love. Thereâs always a possibility, however small, that youâll roll with them again. Until then, you can at least talk. Itâs not perfect, but itâs something.
âAnd thereâs parts in the game that arenât that bad, either. Some of the aspects are a fucking joy to experience. No, I donât know if Joy is, in fact, a joy to experience. I recommend bugging Kamila about it. Blood, Might, Flow, Light, Rain⊠I liked Doom, too, but thatâs more of a me thing than Doom being a genuinely fun aspect to play, I think.Â
âAnd thereâs the Door. Yes, I can see your expression. Yeah, the doorâs busted. Or at least, it is now. The gameâs constantly changing. New aspects are being slotted in, as are new classes. And thereâs evidence that there was changes before, the most infamous being the Clown class. So that means thereâs someone working on the game. So maybe, just maybe, someone will take a look and see weâre all trapped here, and suddenly all the doors stop being broken and we can finally enter the door and go to our universes and rest.
âSo. Keep your chin up, okay? Thereâs still something, even if it doesnât seem like it.â
