But it's only a matter of time before things stop being quiet.

There is one guy, yeah. But the Upside Down didn't make him evil. He was pretty much a psychopath his whole life. It didn't help that he was held hostage by scientists trying to study his psychic powers and turn him into some kind of weapon. But he was already a murderer by the time he was a teenager, well before he was sent to the Upside Down.

I'm pretty sure that's just her default look for me. But yeah, she probably knows what she's doing when it comes to gift giving.

And you still have the thing, right? You haven't returned it yet?

UGH. I need to get out of this town.

[imbobross]

What's stopping you now?

[grivences]

Money? Transportation?

A sense of personal responsibility to my friends not to abandon them while the world goes to shit.

Re: tfln overflow - for @imbobross

[imbobross]

Oh right, the important logistics.

You too, huh? I know what that feels like, taking care of other people.

[hasabat]

nah, can't be. she kept picking you for the buddy system

[spikedbats]

Correct, which sorry about that, I keep forgetting to return it.

[hairsprayed]

Yeah seems that way. Every time we think it's normal again, something pops up. It's easier to just assume shit will always happen again.

[defenderoftomorrow]

A bad start and a worse uprising. Similar things happen in Zaun, the undercity, with a drug called Shimmer. It turns people into weapons and affect their sanity. It gets worse with those who were unhinged from the get go.

[ So he has some idea of the upsetting stuff she's seen. ]

Are you sure there's no way to make the right people know about this? The right allies who could help you put a stop to it?

[grivences]

What do we do?
Just keep fighting, over and over, even though every time this shit comes back, it's stronger and deadlier than before?

[grivences]

The military knows what's going on. Except they would rather weaponize the Upside Down to use against their political enemies. They don't care about some dumb little hokey town in Indiana.

[grivences]

Did you ever stop to think that was maybe less about wanting to be with me and more about not wanting to be with you?

[grivences]

That's fine. I don't think my dad even realizes it's missing.

[grivences]

I'm not sure how I ended up in the position of taking care of other people, when all I wanted was to get through high school unnoticed.

But now that I'm here, I can't just abandon them.

[hasabat]

wow

rude

also that was a very impressive way for you to insult both yourself and me at the same time

[grivences]

Thank you, I have a talent. :)

For real though, I'm going to ask her what I should get you.

[defenderoftomorrow]

You mentioned them, yes. I was hoping that maybe someone else could help you. Perhaps some scientist, or a trusty enforcer.

[ That would be the cops. ]

Small problems turn into a big ones when left unchecked. Even small towns are important, if you ask me.

[spikedbats]

Phew, the last thing I need is for Mr. Buckley to strongly dislike me.

I'll try to remember to bring it with me when I swing by to pick you up for work tomorrow.

[hasabat]

yeah, you know what, you do. Robin Buckley, Chief Roastmaster of Hawkins.

bet you she tells you to stick with the coal

[hairsprayed]

Sorta. Keep fighting with the hope that eventually there will be a last fight and we win. If we don't try then we lose right away, so we keep fighting and we get stronger each time too.
