( noctis... did use it. one person who learned enough to help another person. )

You're right
I'm sorry Noctis

( kaladin lifts his chin, ready to take his critique. )

What am I to do if I'm unable to fight back
How will anything change

[fessus]

W/e dw about it, most people do way worse after dealing with trolls for the first time

Trust me you're not gonna change anyone online by lecturing them, you just say "don't like don't read, keep scrolling" and that's it

[gyve]

Don't like don't read
Keep scrolling

That's it

( ... )

I'm not sure
What if they say something idiotic after that

[fessus]

Like what, give me an example

Bc rn you're saying they're getting worked up for no reason but you're feeding the dumb stuff they're saying so

[gyve]

If they continue talking
I'm just supposed to ignore them and allow them to insult me

I did that for too many years to let it go now

[fessus]

Look I'm just saying you're allowed to ignore idiots that are acting like idiots

Way too many of the people here are nuts and idk how you argue with that

[gyve]

I don't like it
But if we tested it out and it worked better than it did for

If it worked better
Then I would trust its effectiveness more

[fessus]

Yeah you better actually try it after I gave you the advice

Half those guys either have no lives or just wanna get a rise out of you, or both, it's called being a basement dweller

[gyve]

( a basement—what? )

Your culture is unique

( ... )

Thanks

[fessus]

This isn't my culture, this is internet culture

Tbh you're just lucky you came to me and not someone else

[gyve]

Lucky
Maybe
You do seem to be the expert

Is this the way you learned your method

1/3

[fessus]

By getting online sure, and seeing how what you did never works lol sorry... giving people bait like that is called "feeding trolls"

3/3

[fessus]

Hey why did you come to me, anyway?

[gyve]

You listened to what I had to say and adapted so you could help someone who needed you
It left an impression on me and my partners
Masa was right

( after giving it some thought, kaladin decides that masa offering noctis a position with them wasn't an offhanded joke. that if he ever wanted to give it a shot, he'd be welcome. )

After hearing your last comment it's obvious
You're honest with your observations but apologize on the off chance they make me uncomfortable

You're kind

1/2

[fessus]

[ What he expects is a quick throwaway explanation, maybe validation that Noctis is in fact sane in a city of insanity. But Kaladin proves to be as honest as he was before, upfront with his opinions whether complimentary or not. ]

Wow all that from a couple comments?

[ He sits in silence for a moment or two longer, hidden behind that jokey question as a young man unsure of how to take sincere compliments. ]

2/2

[fessus]

Yk I think next time there's a big holiday you should make two posts instead of just one

[gyve]

Haha

( even the quietest sounds are picked up by his implant. )

Maybe I should

Don't like don't read
Keep scrolling

You were probably assigned a civilian job on arrival
They usually tell you in orientation
But if you ever want to volunteer at the hospital you should

[fessus]

[ Speech to text, so... that means that was a real laugh, right? It gets him to smile, even if only for a moment. ]

Don't like don't read, you got it

Idk about all that though, me in a hospital. The stuff you do is way beyond my level, pretty sure I'd make things worse

[gyve]

You didn't make Taro's life worse
You kept him safe when he was sick and you kept him warm when he was scared
Sometimes that's all anyone needs

I won't push but consider it
There's plenty of hospital work that can be done by someone without a medical background

What duties did Lilith assign to you

[fessus]

Yeah yeah I'll think about it, but it kinda goes against my current plans of having less to do

[ Sarcasm aside, he's already starting to feel that the limited time he does have in his quarters is too lengthy. So why is it so hard to get up and seek out a distraction? ]

They said I was working at an arcade

[ A pause. ]

You def don't know what that is huh

[gyve]

Fair enough

( everyone needs downtime—in theory. )

Fortunately for you you don't have to explain that one to me
I responded to a call at the game centre once
LILICO

Is that the one you'll be at

[fessus]

Oh cool

You'll have to go to one when there's not an emergency happening

[ Maybe he'd want to come to his. Should he invite him? Kaladin invited him to the hospital, after all.

... it's different... ]

It's a new place. Turns out when they said I was working at it they meant I was running it so ig I get to fix all the messed up decor

[ Haha... ha... ha... ]

[gyve]

( oh... )

No wonder you want less on your mind
Refurbishing an entire arcade isn't going to be easy

What do you have left to do

1/3

[fessus]

Idk
