I've been thinking about some things, and it's come to my attention that we are - more or less - here to make everyone else unhappy. That sort of thing is usually frowned upon, isn't it? There are some new people that have arrived as well. So I'd like to ask you all, new or old:

Why are you here?

Why is everyone so willing to cause others misery for their own personal gain? What would make doing this sort of thing reasonable? Aren't we all just being selfish?

I'm sorry if this is intruding. This is probably a little bit hypocritical, but I'm asking out of personal interest. Please don't feel obliged to answer.

Thank you for your time.

[ About to state something completely contradictory here- ]

Heeh? Why I'm here? I don't think we know each other well enough to even tell you such a big secret, kid. Much less when you're a hiding. Even if we're not obligated ..

.. I might let you know a bit.

It is what it is--personal gain, and that alone is a reasonable decision. Without realizing it, you answered your own question. But selfish? Honestly... is using someone to further yourself really so bad? Your altruism isn't meant to work here, unless you plan on sacrificing yourself for other people's happiness.

If you still don't agree with it, what are you doing to change it? Nothing? That's what I thought... Did you really plan to convince others to change their minds with an anonymous text to everyone here?

After some things happened, I guess there just wasn't anything else to do. [Liar liar pants on fire, but who's checking]

Because there's no such thing as a free vacation.

If I knew that it would be like this then I never would have signed up. As soon as I pay off my loan I'm going to leave.

I'm here because I lost my job. I know it doesn't sound like much but it was important. If I can get tricked by things like this again, maybe I don't deserve it though.

It's not a little hypocritical, it's completely hypocritical.

Before asking those kind of questions, you should tell us why you're here.

I'm here to fix something that went wrong

[ Hi, Ryuugamine-kun! Oh wait, she doesn't know it's you.

Saying it, even if not necessarily out loud... it's a gesture she feels she needs to make. For herself, because she's still selfish at her core, but doing things even for herself was a step up from doing nothing, ever. Maybe this way, in little bursts, she can learn how to be a person. ]

Why ask at all? Knowing those things will only make playing this harder.

Let's just say I screwed up. Figured if they could fix that and keep it from happening again it was worth coming her.

Didn't expect the kind of missions that were gonna show up, though. Just gotta find a way to do this without hurting others, yeah?
