Fuck cops honestly. Did your friend get out?

[lempereur]

Thankfully, we had a good lawyer. Not good enough to hold the police accountable, but we got him back.

[allyourfeels]

The system's p. fucked

[lempereur]

Precisely. I can't imagine they're any better here, where horrifying crimes are streamed onto the network in the name of "punishment".

[allyourfeels]

right, it's just... idk, way more blatant here, i guess? the cops do whatever they want and nothing bad ever happens to them and we all know??

[lempereur]

It doesn't seem like many of the natives are particularly bothered by it, and nobody's going to listen to us.

[allyourfeels]

i'm pretty resigned to things staying as they are.

[lempereur]

I think I'd like to spend some more time with the people I've come to love here before I join a revolution.

But it will be sorely needed, before long.

[allyourfeels]

Yeah, I just hope I'll know what I'm doing better by the time it comes. Maybe learn to project emotions the way this other empath can? That'd be helpful.

[lempereur]

Have you found someone who can help you?

[allyourfeels]

Yeah, Anna. She's witchy, or her powers are, but it's close enough.

[lempereur]

That's good. I don't know what I would have done with my power if I'd had to figure it out on my own. I'm happy for you.

[allyourfeels]

tbf, your thing is way more complicated.

[lempereur]

You think so? Mine are only relevant when I choose to use them. That seems much easier.

[allyourfeels]

But there's a ton of like, steps to activating it. My thing just is.

[lempereur]

"a ton" is a little dramatic.

That seems more complicated, to me, because you must deal with it at all times.

[allyourfeels]

I'm pretty settled on it being an extra sense now. Now it's weird not to have it.

[lempereur]

Did you take your bracelet off, then?
