how we doin, Taisho

[rollplayinghouse]

Who: Taisho (and anyone who wants to check on them)
Where: Taisho dorms
When: Day 66, late morning

[Maki ultimately spent the night at Future is Now, but in the morning she finally takes everyone's advice and returns to Taisho. She is fully grayscale at this point, and also looks... a bit darker, maybe? Like she's standing in a shadow, or someone moved the brightness slider down slightly.

She changes back into a Taisho outfit before coming back to the common area.]

So... does anyone have thoughts on doing better at unit unity.

Something like that, yes.

So what do you want out of it? I mean the unit thing. What's it you're looking for?

[rollplayinghouse]

...

Ideally, my unit would be a group of people who understand me well. Who are all on similar wavelengths. Who help and support each other.

But that's demonstrably not the case here, so I'm not sure what to try.

[thotcrimes]

But is it really about unity? It's not like the rest of us are any more unified.

[rollplayinghouse]

Sol might argue with you about that, apparently.

But even if it's because I stormed off and didn't come back, I'm not just going to stay here and make myself miserable. Besides, just coming back clearly hasn't helped.

[thotcrimes]

So, given that you know your ideal is out of reach but you're also unwilling to be miserable here, what are your desires?

Or rather, what are your boundaries? At the very least if you clearly state how you want everyone to interact with you in particular, no one can complain they didn't know what you wanted. And in turn, you can enforce your boundaries without discomfort.

Maybe it is better to just do it like that...

[thotcrimes]

As long as you can live here without problems shouldn't that be enough? It seems to be for everyone else. You don't really have to agree with people on a fundamental level to divide shower time with them fairly.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Maybe it's because I'm not very good at living peacefully with people I'm angry with.

[thotcrimes]

That's your problem though, isn't it?

...It would be nice if other people cared if I was constantly infuriated with them.

[thotcrimes]

That's apparently a bridge too far. Start with something easy. Familiarity breeds contempt, but at least the devil you know isn't going to lead to your slow dissolve into modernist art.

[rollplayinghouse]

I guess.

It's not like people set me off over trivial things, though.
