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.

I would say my current goal is not to get vague mass texts from anonymous sources, but I suppose that would be looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Perhaps my goal will instead be "I will endeavor to receive more interesting anonymous notes". Surely that's within reach.

that's a ton of faith in our anonymous population, there.

un: theonoe

[athenite]

It's less faith in them and more faith in my being able to locate some interesting anonymous persons.

Or at least a hope for such a thing to occur.

[pesto]

isn't that half the point of being anonymous? generate interest by concealing who you are, etc.

though guess that makes this ... person look extra pathetic in comparison.

[athenite]

I suppose that's part of the point, but I wouldn't go so far as to say half. I think a good portion of it is simply not wanting your name attached to something, and avoiding the responsibilities thereof.

Good luck with that. Get the feeling our anonymous friends aren't really in the business of being interesting.

[athenite]

[ cool story but more importantly: ]

That's an absolutely terrible pun.

[hydrokinetics]

I didn't even make a pun in that sentence. Unless you see something I don't?

[athenite]

"Broseidon".

[hydrokinetics]

Oh. That. I kind of like it myself.

Anyway at least it makes more sense than Theo-whatever.

un: idk

[robitussin]

calling this a gift horse is pretty generous

if you come up with a feasible strategy to get less obnoxious messages share with the class though

[athenite]

It's at least something to keep in mind, is what I meant moreso.

I'll keep you posted. So far my strategy is mostly "roll eyes, take notes".

[freys]

I don't know, judging by this one it doesn't look within reach.

[athenite]

Why must you always crush my dreams.
