sup nerds
sorry to interrupt everyone's doom and gloom party over here, but with the whole zombie apocalypse thing going down outside, there's about 90% less shit to actually do and i'm super fucking bored, so

let's play never have i ever

which, if ur one of the stone age people, goes like this:
u post something u have never done
other people reply
threadjacking is encouraged
if u ever did the thing u gotta post urself taking a sip of booze of ur choice
(or u can just go honor system i guess if u want, i'm not the boss of u)

if ur like a tiny baby or are a lame person who doesn't drink u can have water or soda instead
the challenge for u is to avoid peeing as long as possible

so i'll start us off

never have i ever....had an urge to chomp on human flesh (◡‿◡✿)





(no i'm kidding. i'm kidding, that's not the real one. u can put down ur torches and pitchforks lmao)



ok here's the real real one: never have i ever been on a roller coaster

That's a bold claim to make to the public, sounds like quite the system. Is it actually true? That everyone is safe from such things.

[hedonistic]

[The smirk he makes at that is not a particularly pleasant one.]

Do you want the short answer to that, or the long one?

[fourscores]

Whichever you feel like giving. I have time.

[hedonistic]

The short answer's no. The long answer's that it's more of a half truth. See, we use this tech to scan people's brains and give a whole report on how stressed they are, how overall stable, how likely they are to commit a crime.

For the most part, the system does what it says--most people you'll run into on the street were designated as normal and safe, because the rest have been locked away in facilities as latent criminals.

But despite what the government would like people to think, no system is actually perfect. There's always the people on the fringes, the ones who know how to dodge the street scanners and commit crimes without getting busted. Most people can't pull it off, because it takes resources and planning that's tough to get away with when just planning is enough to ruin your Crime Coefficient--but us Enforcers wouldn't have a job if it never happened. Hell, before I got here, we were after a murderer that took out one of our own three years ago, before the case went cold.

They lock people up before they even commit a crime? That's... different.

Unfortunate that some manage to best that technology and murder others. Murderers on the loose is always unsettling, I can only imagine how the people in your world must react to such things, considering your technology.

[They sure do. Including 5-year-old children. But Kagari's not bitter, of course not. Not even a little. Ahem.]

Hah, they don't even know. That shit gets swept under the rug, man. As far as the public thinks, we only ever deal with incidents of people newly becoming latent criminals.

[fourscores]

Do they not question how that is even possible? That's a lot of trust to put in your government.

[hedonistic]

And risk being a little less comfortable in their lives? Why would they ever do that?

[turn back jhin we're reaching critical salt mass...this way lies only danger...]

[fourscores]

Ah, they're those kind of people. Shame.

[hedonistic]

[It's always a pleasant surprise when he gets exactly the sort of response he was looking for. He grins, sharp.]

You know the type, huh?

[fourscores]

Unfortunately.
