She kept on writing lies about other people in her paper so I had to tell her something to maker her stop.
You have to promise not to tell her this or else... Um, I'll do something really bad.

[good_ideas]

im telling you this just in case you dont know
but threatening someone without looking like you even have a plan or knowing what the other person is capable of
is like the worst idea
ever
stop doing it

if i was going to tell her
i wouldnt have texted you at all

[psycholawgy]

It's her own fault for writing lies about people in the first place.
I'm not going to tell you who it is, but someone already told me that they might not control themselves the next time Myriam spouts more lies.
It was for her own good.

text; a day after That Fucktastrophe you know the one

Hello, Athena, this is Celty.

[ lord, what does she even say. something safe, easy. they all had it bad, but she just needs to make sure she's alright. ]

How are you doing?

[psycholawgy]

Hi there! :D [ a bright and sunny greeting for someone who was just tortured, huh? ] I'm fine! I'm with Simon and Ryuko right now. How about you?

[helmets]

That's good d(=^･ω･^=)b

[ two can play that game. she doesn't blame athena for it though. ]

I'm doing a little better, catching up on some rest.
I'm glad you're doing okay.

[psycholawgy]

I'm definitely okay! I actually feel better than ever!
And people find it weird. Do you think it's weird?

[helmets]

I don't think it's weird.
You know yourself best, after all.
In a way, I suppose this is like a fresh start with a new perspective.

[psycholawgy]

Exactly!
Are you going to tell some people about what happened, or are you going to keep it a secret?

[helmets]

I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it at length.
I've told one person, but that's it.
What about you?

[psycholawgy]

I promised some people I won't keep secrets from them, so I guess I'll tell about three or four people.
I think everyone should know what CERES does to people, though.

[psycholawgy]

He's at his apartment.

[fairbrook]

[Way to be obstreperous. Time to fight fire with fire...]

Allow me to reiterate. Where was he and what happened to him?

[psycholawgy]

I guess I did promise I'd tell you.
We were tortured by the CERES police, or something. It's better not to remember.

[good_ideas]

i cant defend her on that point
but her bad choices dont mean you have to make bad ones too
have you never heard of just talking about it

[psycholawgy]

I've talked to her countless times about it, even back at home, but she never listens.

[good_ideas]

youre her friend right
praise her
butter her up and make her happy
tell her how much you appreciate when she tells the truth

manipulate her
that way everyones happy

[psycholawgy]

That's not how she works.
And making her happy means I have to praise her newspaper - which was what I was trying to change. It makes no sense.

[good_ideas]

praise her box or something then

besides you cant just keep threatening her like this
what were you going to do when someone found out the truth like i did now?

[psycholawgy]

You only found out because I told you.

[good_ideas]

i knew before you ever told me
its called being a detective

[No, it's actually called being a psychometer. And cheating.]

[psycholawgy]

Unlikely!

sorry for the delay!

[helmets]

Do what you feel comfortable with.
But I agree, I think people should know.
Perhaps we can make a network post anonymously, in case the others don't wish to explain the details.

don't worry about it!

[psycholawgy]

Maybe Tieria can help us with that.

[good_ideas]

oh really
why
