Bartending live

[noteablekiller]

Who: You
Where: The lobby
When: Day 87

[Codex is on camera, speaking to everyone from the lobby, it's obvious he's arranged chairs and set out glasses to facilitate some bar tending]

Did anyone receive fanmail they'd like to respond to? If so, come down to the lobby and use BARiTONES live, we'll be providing free drinks for anyone responding publicly to their mail.

Think of this as a way to encourage the sort of audience engagement you're interested in. I realize fanmail is often... invasive, but I'm sure most of you have fans you wouldn't mind hearing from again.


[You are free to assume you already got a drink from Codex and are sitting down to address mail, or to top level a comment to Codex and he'll respond!]

Ssssooo. . . you wanna make nice with the faceless mob that gets a kick out of watching us die? And that's positive?

[noteablekiller]

More or less.

Whatever they feel about our lives or our deaths, we can't fight them or stop them from watching us, or stop what kind of games we have. We can control how we deal with the knowledge, though, and try to encourage the positive fan interactions and discourage the negative ones.

[purrrnicious]

Uh huh. I don't care one way or the other about the "audience".

[Leaning oh so casually against the nearest surface, idk probably a table.]



So where'd you disappear to, anyway?

[noteablekiller]

A 'special'. Have you heard of them?

[purrrnicious]

Another "show", right? Just seems awful convenient to come and go like that.

[noteablekiller]

It isn't, I promise I'd rather be here.

[purrrnicious]

Oh~? Missed your unit that badly? Hate to say it, but we were fine without you.

[noteablekiller]

Consider my feelings. Maybe I wasn't fine without you all.

[purrrnicious]

Well, we are pretty great, but I don't think that's sincere at all, now is it?

[noteablekiller]

The special was terrible.

[purrrnicious]

[Tailswish!]

Now that sounds a little closer to some honesty.

[noteablekiller]

I don't recommend trying it. Unless you want to start thinking this place isn't so bad.

[purrrnicious]

Well it's not like I remember any place that's better. Guess that's probably the point, though.
