[[An almost gaunt looking figure shuffles himself, and his fancy new outfit thanks to the festivities, in a seated position to get more comfortable. For the most part there is a metallic stopper on the back part of the wrist of a hand covering the man's face]]

These posts always made me wonder what kind of civilization I've been pulled into that we all sit around and talk to ourselves until other people do or don't decide to talk back.

Before any of you kind souls tries to gg me on being here, sitting by myself, talking into the post, I'm aware. Your humour is dry. I'm just bored and thought I'd follow the herd like every other upstanding citizen. So here I am, talking to myself and curious about what those out there, will say back.

Isn't that what you were doing just now? Being honest? I can't be swayed to think you'd tell me all that about yourself, how you feel about it and why if you're just going to lie about it. I'm sure there's people that would, but I'm in a generous mood and giving people the benefit of the doubt they're not trying to start out annoying.

I do want to hear more about this audience. Are you a theatre performer?

i don't think they're lying. i just don't think it's an honest exchange. it's the communication that isn't true. not their words. they could say anything. but if they say it to the ether, to anyone who will listen — literally anyone who will listen, indiscriminately — what elicited their words, what will their words elicit, what if no one even hears their words, or they do but no one responds...? there's no context. to the mind that's dishonest in a certain light. does that make more sense? you and i are having an exchange. it's different. this is honest. even if we were lying.

no, i'm a fighter. but there's certainly a performative element to keep up in the arena heh~ have to please the public ☆
