With the Quad in a state of uncertain change, it is imperative that we all do what we can to remain unified. Whether you live for money, for your family, or for your future, no one benefits from unmitigated chaos and organized hatred.

Please, share here your woes, your triumphs - any stories you have to offer from recent days in your lives. Together, we can offer an understanding of the Quad that no individual could ever possess alone. Through a picture painted in all colors - Company, Resistance, Leithan, Westerlyn - we can find an image of our common goal.

Speak to one another. Ask for help. Offer condolences. Seek common ground.

We're all in this together.

With friends like you, I can't really say I blame the Resistance for breaking away.

[somnusrex]

Why not?

Everyone needs to calm the hell down.

All this rebellion and hating people from other areas is stupid. It's not solving anything except making people attack and freak out about it.

I'm tired of getting sent on missions to remote places that are supposed to protect me. I don't want to be protected, I want to fix this. If we could just work together to figure something out we could probably finish this relatively quickly, so why don't we try that instead of rebellions and attacks and starvation?

Hey, me neither. I'm happy with an afternoon nap and people not freaking out all the time.

How the hell is that your job? Sounds really stupid. I'd try a career change too.

[brickinthewall]

it's a fun way to go

no one will care anyway

[brickinthewall]

so anyway mr cares too much

you can care for me

phone it in twice

it'll be great

[brokeassgoing]

how do you know?

[hydrokinetics]

So really what you're saying is not to worry about it.

And it's NOT paranoia.

eli I hope her username is actually idk because that's hilarious

[hydrokinetics]

On the other hand maybe their plan's working a little since now we're just talking about how their plan won't work. It sort of counts that way doesn't it?

she gave up on picking a serious one let her rest

[robitussin]

i don't think talking about how their plan sucks counts as """sharing our woes or triumphs"""

[hydrokinetics]

Now when you put it that way, okay, maybe it doesn't sound that bad even if it means having to repeat the process a few times...
I'll have to keep that in mind.

no???

[hydrokinetics]

Not unless we're going with the fact that a shared woe is having this conversation at all and a shared triumph is realizing their plan sucks.

[robitussin]

my bar for both woes and triumphs is not that low

[hydrokinetics]

Humor me for a sec. What's your bar set at anyway?

[robitussin]

are you asking me to share what a woe and triumph would be for me

because a. i have never thought about it long enough to define where that bar is

and b. that sounds suspiciously like letting this weird anonymous message sender win

[hydrokinetics]

If you want to interpret it that way, sure, but I've never let people win that easy. Especially weird anonymous messengers. Consider it me being curious.

[robitussin]

then you go first

[hydrokinetics]

Why should I have to go first??

[robitussin]

because i'm not going to

[hydrokinetics]

So just because you said to you think I'm going to go first?

[robitussin]

i mean it's kind of a personal question

why should i answer without getting the same in return
