lake party invite + mingle (open)

Who: any and everyone!
Where: the lake and nearby!
When: right now! (july 7th, afternoon)
What: motha 👏 fuckin 👏 lake 👏 party
Warnings: Language (!!!) for now, will be added as needed!



[no, this is not a joke and yes, it's an actual invite to a party over the network from the username: cock.licking.idiot (and no, that's not a joke, either).

those who decide that they'd rather not be square will arrive at some unspecified patch of lake shore (thanks, klaus) at a similarly unspecified time (good work, asshat) to discover that something resembling a slapdash but heartfelt lake party along the northern waterfront. a couple of tables have been dragged out of nearby cabins and now hold a probably inadvisable quantity of foods, at least half of which don't belong at a party by any means. is this what rationing looks like? this is definitely what rationing looks like. there's also an alcohol table, filled pretty sparsely early on in the party but gathering bottles and cans throughout the day. (word of mod says feel free to wing it on what kind of alcohol we have!).

a number of chairs sit in a wobbly line in the stone-filled waterfront sand, most of them not meant for beachgoing but nearly all of them able to recline. about fifty feet down the beach seems to be the splash zone, where all water horseplay exists well out of range of splashing those sitting in beachside chairs. some people dive or cannonball off the mostly-sturdy pier, while others seem to be batting around a-... is that a beach ball they have? no, it seems to be a balloon that says "get well soon". how fitting. please, someone bring them a fucking beach ball.

(this is a mingle! go ahead and make top-levels or tag into other people's.)

[ Well. ]

Soooo. What's your initial thoughts about this place? And the 'Technicians'?

( that earns a bit of a silence, brows knitting slightly in consideration. then, )

You'd think the people who want us to suffer would also want us to be scared of death.

( that's the thing that stands out to him, the way they reassured everyone not to worry because you'll come right back if you die. it's just a few lines from where they said everyone was here to suffer. )

Wonder what's coming, if death isn't the part to be afraid of.

I can think of a lot of things that would be at least equally as scary.

[ Sure, dying is ... unpleasant even when painless and instant, at least when you're revived and can sort of remember dying. He also wouldn't choose death if he had the option, because he's kind of enjoying the whole living thing. But the eridium poisoning that the bandits on Pandora have, and the idea of having his body forced open to fit a robot skeleton in it, well. Both of those are definitely horrifying. ]

Things they might control? ( maybe he underestimates these technicians, even as wary as he is - because he, too, can think of many fates worse than death, but he can't imagine any of those things being able to be... weaponized, for lack of a better word. )

We don't know what they can control.

[ So, yeah, he puts his money on Lalli underestimating the Technicians. ]
