So. Practical applications of breaches. I've never gotten much out of them except people telling me all the ways they think I should change my behavior--noted, by the way, I keep good records, though I guess if you want to tell me again you can?

[She didn't exactly work to internalize it, and most of it boiled down to why are you like this, but she's already got it in her records. Entrapta, don't experiment on people against their will. Entrapta, people will have negative emotions even knowing the things that caused them were intrinsically temporary, and you have to care about that. Entrapta, your own survival actually counts as a desirable outcome. She gets it.]

But I'm pooling insights on picking stuff up from breach experiences for practical implementation. I definitely got some practical experience of making decisions based on other people's emotions there, and I've made a few logs because I know these things fade pretty fast, plus the whole experience of having a biological family and going to school was... Different, I guess, am I supposed to get anything out of that? It's not like I can go back in time and have parents. Are details like that just an artifact of fitting us into the pattern of that world? Open to all insights.

NAH, THIS IS ALL FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF THE GUYS UPSTAIRS.

HEY, KID, LISTEN. I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO BE AROUND FOR TOO MUCH LONGER. THE SIGNS ARE ALL THERE FOR ME DISAPPEARING!

Technically I guess this is my second of these things, but it's the only one I've been upright and conscious for. Also, I can only speak from the perspective of, you know, being a warden, but in what I personally have observed in the aftermath is that it doesn't really matter, does it? This one, at least, didn't discriminate between one group or another, we were all trapped in that idyllic, bullshit small town life or whatever. Like what do you ultimately make of a life that is both the complete opposite of what you normally have and yet is alarmingly the same in key ways.

I think, in the end, it's not about inmates or wardens or lessons you should learn or whatever feel-good you wanna slap on it to justify it as. I think we're all being lied to - I know, shocking - and having our chains yanked.

Yeah, but here's the question you need to ask yourself, right: What direction is it actually leading you in. Is it gaslighting you or not.

Call me paranoid, I guess. I don't trust it.

More power to you, I guess. Word of advice, though, you can still see the man behind the curtain on this side, too.

No idea. But I am a little curious about those logs of yours.

How many breaches have you been through?
anonyreyev: (sexy shoulder)

[personal profile] anonyreyev 2021-05-31 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He outright whistles.]

And have you learned anything else? Besides your list, I mean.
anonyreyev: (secretary glasses)

[personal profile] anonyreyev 2021-06-03 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Fascinating.

You're that girl from Double Trouble's world, aren't you? They said you were clever.

If it's not something you can change, it's probably just an artifact of how we're made to fit the breach?
notwhoiwas: (then who made *you* Castellan?)

[personal profile] notwhoiwas 2021-05-30 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Knowing the Admiral it's probably about... how we act, when we have the chance to be someone different?
notwhoiwas: (how did I ever miss that?)

I would ask, are there any aspects of your breach life that you want to adopt into your own life? You may not be able to give yourself parents, but some people do become familial to each other here without blood relation. You could seek to build that kind of relationship. If you found yourself enjoying close personal relationships or warm camaraderie with others, you could endeavor to build friendships like that as yourself.
14thcommander: (haha scolded)

[personal profile] 14thcommander 2021-05-31 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hahhhh.

[More a sigh than a laugh.]

Has there been anything you think you'd want in there, Entrapta?
14thcommander: (ive been punished thanks)

[personal profile] 14thcommander 2021-05-31 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I am at least not trying to present it as an intrinsic good. Is it something you've experienced during breaches? Something you think you want?
