I have no desire to go on at length today, nor do I have a particular point to make. Merely a question.

Tell me about something fundamental to your world. Not something that's merely different to this place, but something that you wouldn't have been able to conceive of a world being without until you were brought here. Whether it's mundane or not matters very little to me; every world has something.

[That's surprisingly brief for him, but at least it's less...everything he usually is over the network. Small mercies, maybe.]

[Yeeeeeah...]

I'm aiming to mitigate at least some of that. Fixing the problem at the root of it, as it were.

[doctorize]

Well, isn't that noble of you. I wish you the best of luck in succeeding at this endeavor.

[manufactured]

Please. I'm hardly a saint, and most people disagree with my methods.

[doctorize]

Oh, really? Even though you're trying to help fix whatever problem has caused your world to fall apart? These must be some extreme methods if people are not willing to agree with them.

[manufactured]

More along the lines of people being insufferably short-sighted.

[...that and the methods are fucking extreme but that isn't the point]

[doctorize]

In what way? If you don't mind giving specifics about the situation, that is.

[manufactured]

A fair amount of my world's problems are caused by complacency. A refusal to move beyond what they're currently capable of. Either that or an inability. Either way, it's something that needs to be corrected.

[... Wesker, you have a habit of being vague in a way that reminds him of Gray gee I wonder why and he's not sure if he finds it annoying or not yet.]

I can't say that I understand completely, given that I still don't know what exactly caused your "potential end of the world" crisis you have going on. However, it doesn't surprise me to think that there are people who would still be rather complacent even during an apocalypse of some kind.

[danny's faith in humanity is like rock bottom, so]

The most immediate issue is biological warfare becoming rampant, leading to millions infected. The infected invariably die, and then they proceed to not stay that way.

[Zombies, Danny. It's fucking zombies.]

I wouldn't say it's apocalyptic just yet, but it has potential to get there.

[doctorize]

... Considering that what you just described sounds like zombies, I would think you're already past the point of calling it apocalyptic.

[fucking zombies, jesus]

[manufactured]

You would be surprised.

As long as outbreaks are isolated, which they currently are, it's not difficult for the everyday citizen to just continue to live as normal. Maybe they carry a gun now; maybe they're wary when people around them get sick. They get into the practice of putting down any animal that's behaving strangely. There are some places no one goes anymore.

But otherwise, relatively little has changed for a surprising amount of the world.

[doctorize]

I... suppose I could see that.

... Was this in America by any chance?

[because this sounds like something that would happen in America tbh]

[manufactured]

[jesus taku i almost feel bad for laughing as hard as i did at that- ]

It originated there, at any rate. I've been out of the country for a while now, but last I checked it was still standing and soldiering on. As it's prone to doing, whether it really should or not.

[Like. That was such a fair assumption.]

[doctorize]

Even though that wasn't the situation in America as I last recall, somehow I'm not surprised hearing that would happen with them when it comes to the idea of a zombie apocalypse.

[He says, despite the fact that he is American himself. Self-aware enough to know that America can be like... that.]

[manufactured]

I'm originally from there. I'd be lying if I said I was at all surprised either.

[doctorize]

As am I, actually.

[like me too bitch the fuck]

Though, we just had a rather high crime rate in my town there rather than zombies by comparison.
