[fucking help me]

Oh.

You're the one everyone's been talking about.

[he nods]

3-meter fish-man. You are a sight to see.

[although scien has been staring down certain other people here way more]

You should be made aware of the gossip now.

[i understand instantly why everyone loves this fish man i wish him nothing but the best]

Neither.

It's the nature of your existence among us. I'm sure you've gathered that none of us have encountered a creature like you before.

[never!!!]

That's right. Though I'm no longer human.

I'm surprised you're not overly fascinated by them or worried about being outnumbered.

I think most of this situation is dangerous, and though people won't be honest about it, they'll most likely choose themselves first when convenient.

[so like... not yet but inevitably yes?]

[no way! you're so right sidon i'm immediately convinced and trust you implicitly]

A... team.

[scien doesn't but that's ok]

Have you ever worked for a company before? Do they have those, where you're from?

[help me]
egodist: (✧ so get ready i'm here)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-25 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[help me]

It's not a team. It's surprisingly cutthroat, even within the ranks, and there's a fair chance of friendly fire in order to earn attention for praise and limited resources.

[scien also agrees but this is how most companies work, even the one he runs to a degree]

Typically people end up wanting to perform well in their jobs for either compensation, as you mentioned, or personal goals that they would like to reach further up the corporate ladder.

Even here, they offer thee promise of a possible promotion upon a performance review.

Optimistic.

Things would be simpler if things went according to your predictions, rather than mine.

[it'd be nice! scien would like to be wrong]
egodist: (✧ thanks for your hard work)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-25 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ]

Even though I said it, there's something grating about having it repeated back to me with gusto.
egodist: (✧ so get ready i'm here)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-25 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's not]

Are you considered a tactful person in your fish village.
egodist: (✧ i made a deal with the demons)

[personal profile] egodist 2024-02-25 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm an unpleasant person.
