It's been a few months since I've had a proper post, so I suppose I should introduce myself.

Hey, I'm Inaba - I've been here for over a year now, so if anybody has any questions, feel free to lay them on me. A lot of my friends left two months ago, so I guess I'm partially doing this post to get to know new people. ヽ(∀° )人( °∀)ノ

I'm also interested in hearing about Moon Knights - I think some of you guys might be some? I was thinking of potentially getting some contacts, after all.

Anyway, it's already Iris cycle, and I guess... I got a break this month. No animal ears, none of the weird traits, nothing. I didn't even get affected by the cycle at the beginning of the month either, it's kind of crazy. ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ

In the interest of getting to know new people: let's play a game, shall we?

You have two options: 1) AMA. I've been here for over a year, am decently good with computers, and currently hold a job in programming. or 2) Give me a genre, and I'll craft a 'text adventure' story for you.

Or we can just chat. Your pick! ✨✨✨

1. No, I didn't. But was it 'destiny' that brought us here, too? I highly doubt that. If 'destiny' really is a factor here, a bunch of us really will be stuck here for ten years, trying to find a way back home to no avail and I cannot accept that sort of answer.

Much as I can't accept that "forgetting" is a finality. I know it's something that happens when people leave, normally, but that doesn't mean I can't find another option.

Even if I accept the experiences that I've learned from here, it isn't as if I'm entirely enjoying myself in a place like this.

It may not be coincidence. I don't think coincidences exist. But I doubt it's some 'destiny' that made things happen. People make things happen. Regardless of whether those people are human or not.

Of course, that's my personal opinion based on personal experience and logic from how my own world works. And how I've seen this world work.

It's not as if I'm not looking at what's happening: whether it's the present, the past, or any sort of potential future. I am keenly aware of the things that I do and the things that others might be doing as well; at least, on the larger scale of things.

2. That's a choice that you've made, then.

i agree that we should put efforts into understanding why people forget. i get this. i haven't been here long so i don't feel this is so important but if you've been here a year or whatever i see why you would not want to forget. but there's no evidence otherwise, that anyone remembers this place when they go home, even if they come back. so you also need to be realistic, or make a full-force effort to make that mission realistic.

i think destiny did bring us here, and it'll bring us back, that much here i think is the most that can be counted on, actually, seeing as it's clearly some crazy cosmic rift and we have no control over this place. but that does not mean we shouldn't seek it still. destiny happens through people, not to people. even though we often can't see it or understand it. but we should try to determine it. shouldn't just resign to what's happening because it's happening.

destiny is like... walking in a forest. there's a path, maybe you take it, maybe you wander, but you're still making a path as you go breaking branches and stuff. so... that's what's happening. we wandered off the clear path. but obviously we're following some kind of path, even if we don't know where we're going, we pick whatever direction we pick for some reason. and the force that prompts us to go in that direction, that's following our destiny, and you're still in control even when you make your own path by breaking branches as you go along. so that's what we need to be doing here. breaking branches to make our own path home walking through the forest of destiny.

[ okay, many people kindly entertain him with his sentimental spiels about honor and destiny, but this nonsensical, pseudo-poetic, schmaltzy silver sandwich, metaphorical bullshit is just too much, what is he even talking about ]
