[ Steph has set up this PSA perfectly framed so that everyone can see the exasperated expression on her face. Not angry, thankfully that whole ordeal is over, but deeply unimpressed by her fellow interdimensional travellers. ]

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone of Murphy's Law.

You may not call it that. You may not know it exists. But I promise you, it holds true for every culture, in every time period, in every universe:

Anything that can go wrong, will.

Does it seem like a bad idea? It is. Is there a chance it'll blow up in your face? It will, and probably everyone else's face too. Is it going to make strangers mad at you? Don't do it.

[ She looks the camera dead in the eye, glaring as though she can stop people from being stupid by sheer force of will. She will damn well try regardless.

There's a pause while she hopes that sinks in. ]

Also, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm sharing it anyway:

Necromancy is never the answer.


That's all. I'm out.

I like yelling when innocent people get hurt for reasons that could easily have been avoided

but right now I'm speaking at a perfectly reasonable volume.

[hitokiri]

uh huh thank u miss obvious it was bad u proud of ur self now

[ichoosefight]

not sure what pride has to do with anything

I was on the front line, I'm not interested in how bad it was. I'm interested in getting people to brace themselves for the future.

and I'm very interested in pointing out that in recent history necromancy has proven to be Bad News, and should probably be discouraged moving forward.

[hitokiri]

everybody says that like im sposed to be impressed
"i was on the front line"! so what me too big whoop
gonna give u a hint
the people who wanna raise the dead aint gonna care about ur little call outs on the online here

[ichoosefight]

then it's a good thing that's not what I'm doing, isn't it?

[ If she rolls her eyes any harder she's going to give herself a headache. ]

unclench, dude. I'm not going to have a pissing contest with you. I'm not looking for an apology or an explanation or literally anything at all. honestly atm I don't give a crap who started this particular mess or why.

the only thing I'm doing right now is sharing my experience with people from places where this kind of thing doesn't happen like, two or three times every year.

[hitokiri]

oh so ur just wastin everybodys time then i gotcha

[ sorry steph, he's feeling guilty on top of just being Like This so he's making it everyone's problem. ]

[ichoosefight]

um, duh

it's the internet

(not 'the online', for future reference)

[hitokiri]

yeah whatever like im sposed to know that

[ichoosefight]

((that's why I'm telling you))

see I think you'd have a much harder time taking everything as a personal attack if you used video instead of text. get all that body language and tone to misinterpret.

[hitokiri]

aint that harder? gotta think about what u say on video and shit

[ichoosefight]

oh that's easy

I just don't
