I would love to be really freaked out, I just don’t see it happening. I’m talking about the end game, the happy ending. But as long as all the murdering stops (OOG: partly because it’s not scary, partly because you know, it’s been done enough in this narrative already), I would love the next few weeks to get super twisted and mind-fucky and for everyone to go into Ascension as gibbering wrecks to come out the other side serene and changed for the better.
Just a thought: it is estimated that the cracking of the enigma code shortened the second world war by 2 years and saved 14 million lives. A non-violent solution, the solving of a seemingly impossible puzzle led to the end of the war. Murder doesn’t have to be the only answer to murder. It is not the only way to save a greater number of lives…
That Gatekeeper 1 will arrive before anyone else has to die (or appear to die) and before this community rips itself apart. That Gatekeeper 1 will unite us all and offer true enlightenment without manipulation, divisiveness or the concealment of knowledge. That Ascension is achieved through an act of self-sacrifice that benefits the community.
I may condemn what @thebuz did, but I too hope he is ok, physically at least. I’ll say more once we know he is safe.
And @kasch, I for one saw through your little charade, but kept my mouth shut to see how it played out… I have no illusions that if I’d said anything, things would’ve played out differently. But just know that not everyone is so easily fooled…
@kasch It seems to me III’s true power was fear, but as soon as everyone actually saw the man behind the ego and stories and their fear diminished, he lost his hold and his claims of murder trailed off to be replaced by empty threats. The dog had already been neutered.
@kasch You make it sound like the only options are inaction or murder, III or 2. There is another path, I assure you, and it is certainly not an inactive one…
@coryphella The thought is muchly appreciated. It’s gonna take me a year to save up but I’m hoping to fly out for some conventions next year. Maybe do a tour of important Tension-related sights… 😉
You’re not the only one unconvinced… I couldn’t watch the periscope as my computer crashed and hasn’t been right all day, so if someone could clarify – did Buz strangle III?
