Unseen Presence

So just got this after a night in another universe and I think I have a slightly different interpretation of this call.

It’s Irene. She asks how my week was. I tell her it was good, a bit slow. I ask how her’s was. She tells me she is sad the rain is gone. She likes the rain. It washes away the impurity, the disease. When she woke up this mor…

“This isn’t what you think it is.”

Since I’ve come here, I’ve thought this was:
* An interesting immersive theater story
* An ARG that’s a little too obsessive (reminding me of The Lost Experience and how rabid people got with that years ago)
* An actual cult masquerading as immersive theater
* Something potentially supernatural
* Back to it just…[Read more]

Then let’s bring it on, Order/OSDM/DLB/CS/Omega/Whomever.

I’m still looking for change and illumination!

Interesting.

Still on message that things are going to get rougher still and that, in the end, they’re going to spread–to win, to pass on the virus.

Man, the ‘infection’ theme is strong now. Stronger than ever.

Except if we’re so beneath her, why tell us that at all?

In my experience, people in power ONLY tell those beneath them things that they want them to know. So if we’re actually that low compared to her–if we’re only happy because…

Oh, that’s good.

That’s very good, Irene.

That call makes so much sense. Rich people don’t know what the hell Slack is. That’s what peons like us use to complain about people like them.

But I -do- find it a little interesting that she called you specifically to berate you like that.

A) It suggests that she could be a little petty.
B) Or perhaps the threat was designed to generate a…[Read more]

I wholeheartedly agree that the questions should be about what does one desire and what does one do to get it? That’s why ‘sides’ haven’t worked for me, for instance, terribly well in any context.

I’ve been pretty clear, I think, that what I desire is to see behind the curtain. And if that means I end up -having- to choose a side, then so be it.…[Read more]

I, too, have had these questions on and off.

Having joined here before the MSE, there have been times where I have legitimately thought, “Isn’t -everyone- involved on either side actually part of the problem?” Or “I can’t join one side and joining the other side might mean aligning myself with really terrible people. So what do I–what CAN I–do…[Read more]

…. I literally have nothing to say here.

I really wish I had been able to be there tonight. I’d like to have a drink with Morgan sometime and actually chat directly with him. And now I’m not even certain that he’ll still BE here when I can finally get a chance to do so.

Why is the only question that matters. It is becoming my mantra.

And I…[Read more]

Why is the only question that matters.

Because they’re showing you that you don’t matter…perhaps.

Or perhaps they are distracted. Perhaps you’re a squeaky wheel that they’re determined to grease once and for all. Not that such might be good for you.

Or perhaps it’s another distraction. Although it’s begun to feel much more involved then that.

Trying to answer a bunch of possibilities raised here.

One–I don’t think it’s as simple as raising the brand. After all…Morgan hasn’t -really- done that, has he? I mean yes, a few videos. But did they really get traction anywhere? The only things that I think have spread far and wide are the recent DLB interviews…which suggest that…[Read more]

Based on everything I see -here-, I don’t agree you should have ‘stayed off’ at all.

I have some of the same feelings you do, @larry. It’s why I’m pushing forward with my own projects, even as I am both excited they’re going to happen and terrified at the prospect that people might hate them (OR love them. It’s somewhat terrifying either way.)…[Read more]

Yep. That’s what I mean by talking about the difference between characters IN HERE and people OUT THERE.

LARPs deal with this all the time. Sometimes it’s obvious because your character is a vampire or something. But sometimes it’s just YOU ‘playing’ you. Like here. And remembering the distinction can be very liberating and freeing.

I think the…[Read more]

I find a lot of the antagonism here pretty strange, given that:

* I was never around to see Tension
* I have no experience of Morgan as “participant” vs. Morgan “IG”. I’ve only seen the latter.
* I have no experience for the early vs. later days of BOS. Again, I’ve only seen the latter.

So I feel like, sometimes, that I’m seeing all of this with…[Read more]

I’ve considered the idea.

As I said, I may search for this and it may not be there in any functional way.

But I am not as certain as you are, because I -choose- to remain a Schrodinger’s cat for the time being. I am neither a believer nor a disbeliever. I am able to move in whatever direction I choose, because I -choose- to allow for the…[Read more]
