Hrm. I'm curious.

So.

Who promised you the world on a platter while you were here, that's what I want to know. Who promised you the rose garden and the happy ever after with lace and sugar and a ribbon on top without oh, I don't know... you not having to actually work for it at all? Which "they" walked up to you and said you had to trust them and they expected it from you? Mmm? Hell, I haven't even told Miles anything of the sort.

So some of you keep saying "they" lied to you. Some keep saying "they" as though it were some sort of curse word, but fact is, I don't know anyone called "They" here. And some of you keep acting as though you're being kept in jail.

I'm wondering here. Who?

Really.

You know, all it took me was scrolling back four to six pages on the main journal (which everyone can read by the way) to dig up these.

Not quite in order, but nonetheless… It's ALL. THERE. Anyone even bothering to sit down for five minutes to look will see it. Nothing is hidden. No one is going around saying "Us? Attacked? Why never, must be your imagination." I don't see any lying or concealing or "don't talk to me and heaven forbid you ask me what's going on" posts here. Why no, I see communication, resumes of events and updates to what's going on. Even concern and the desire to help. For everyone.

Oh yes. By the way? It's not like only staff were aware of the first attacks. Every single student here at the time was fully aware of them too. So, that would be every single person in the house at the time. All of it discussed openly in journals. I don't see any one of us setting out to conceal information from anyone. Or lie, as both staff and students, in effect, have been accused of doing.

You want to know even more? Ask. That's how communicating start, and while a lot of the communicating here seems to be one way paranoia and fear-inducing ranting, anyone actually wanting to talk can come and find me. Or Pete and Jake. Or anyone else on staff for that matter. Means getting up on your feet and actually doing the work, but you know what Remy? I don't know about some of the others, but for some reason, you don't strike me as the "sit on his ass and wait for things to come to him" type.

Am I wrong?

And that was available to me before I walked in the door and likely ended up on every database and hit list you people got monitoring you?

Fact is that the responsibility is on you to make these things known. You're the staff, after all. Saying 'figure it out for yourself' is an excuse. The honest thing to do would be to advise those who you want to bring in of the risks before they end up caught up on what you got going.

But hey, guess that not how things go here. Remy's own fault for not leaving the first time he was lied to, I guess. Don't worry yourself no more, chere. This the last you hear from Remy about it.

Oh, of course. Heaven forbid we keep talking. Communicating.

Why, that might lead actual discourse, never mind actual solutions coming to light, rather than blame being thrown around to everyone in sight, terror scenarios being thrown about willy-nilly and promising the end of the world as we know it.

You want solutions. Try being part of them instead of just pointing the finger.

But it's ever so much easier to just judge people, isn't it?
