Everybody Panic

[failgoyle]

[Sorry, network, you'll never know peace so long as Jules still walks Liminal Space. Have some more screaming.]

There's a Drow here and Zaknafein said they were bad news, and this one's got some kind of MURDERCAT and he just surprised me, and I don't know what I'm gonna do, and he ABSOLUTELY REEKS, this is what death smells like, I am pretty sure this is what death smells like...

BUT I NEED HELP!

[failgoyle]

Well...no...

...and I teleported away...

[forcechanic]

So the murder could be like the fire?

[failgoyle]

It's not hallucinatory murder!

It's probable murder based on what someone else told me about an entire species!

Totally different!

[forcechanic]

You're trying to say an entire species is potential murder?

[That just sounds wrong to her]

[failgoyle]

Yes!

But the guy who told me that is one of that species, so it's cool!

[forcechanic]

If he didn't try to kill you doesn't that mean that not every member of the species is going to?

[failgoyle]

But then why would he tell me that if it wasn't true?

[forcechanic]

Warped perspective probably. I mean, an entire species being that bad?

[failgoyle]

But who else would know better than a member of that species?

And there are some species that are just that bad! Like the True Fae, they're all universally awful...

[forcechanic]

I've met a lot of species, but I've never run into one where every single member is nasty. The Noghri were feared assassins, but they also make incredibly loyal bodyguards.

[failgoyle]

There's a first time for everything.

[forcechanic]

It doesn't even make sense for an entire species to be bad though. Species have millions of individuals.

[failgoyle]

If there is one thing I have found in all the crap I've been through, it is that very little of life makes any damn sense.

[forcechanic]

Plenty of things do. And one of those is individuals being... individuals.

[failgoyle]

Individuals can all be individually dangerous!

[forcechanic]

Sure, but they have to do something dangerous, not just... exist.

[failgoyle]

But this one was gonna sic his murdercat on me!

[forcechanic]

Was he? Or did he just have a scary looking animal with him?

[failgoyle]

...so it was with him, yeah.

[forcechanic]

So this could just be like the fires.

[failgoyle]

But he's not a hallucination!

[forcechanic]

You could still be exaggerating the danger.

[failgoyle]

I'd rather overreact than underreact!
