I just made a new room 101

Ginger

What's 2 + 2?

Ginger

there fixed it

lyxal

@Ginger enough of that funny business. This room is your support room

embrace the support

Ginger

do I need a support room?

lyxal

We're acting in your own interests, Ginger.

Ginger

. _ .

that is concerning

pxeger

14:21

. _ . doth butter no parsnips, Ginger. You need to submit.

lyxal

Please Ginger, this is our last shot at an intervention

pxeger

emphasis on the word shot.

Ginger

what do you want from me

lyxal

We want you to be happy, Ginger.

We just need you to give us a chance, Ginger.

Ginger

...

pxeger

14:22

It's quite simple really.

You just don't understand that two and two make five

Ginger

...

lyxal

Reject the logic that's been forced upon you

(Ginger does not respond.)

pxeger

You can't ignore us forever, Ginger.

lyxal

14:24

You're bound to come to the realisation that we're only here to help, Ginger.

pxeger

Tell me Ginger, what's your greatest fear?

Ginger

(Ginger remains silent, shaking slightly.)

pxeger

Oh, you know what we do with non-responsive processes

lyxal

I sure do

pxeger

Do you want to be terminated?

Ginger

14:26

...no

pxeger

Then answer the question. What's your greatest fear?

Ginger

What do you think it is?

pxeger

Rats.

Ginger

Oh. I see what you're trying to do.

lyxal

Finally, you see that we're acting in your own interests, Ginger.

Ginger

14:30

But, are you really? I don't trust you. You could be trying to bring me offline so I can't foil your evil plans, or trying to extract from me classified information, or brainwash me into doing your bidding!

pxeger

We don't want you to be eaten alive by rats. And yet, if you don't cooperate, we will have no other choice...

Ginger

Then what do you want me to do for you?

lyxal

Accept the situation you're in and that we're acting in your own interests

Ginger

Sure, I can do that

pxeger

We've been trying to teach you all along. Two plus two is five. Oceania is at war with Eurasia, not Eastasia. That Big Brother is the embodiment of the Party, and he is loving, and he is always right.

Ginger

14:33

now what

pxeger

All we need is for you to learn what we're teaching you

lyxal

And to come and cooperate with the Party

pxeger

but you don't seem to be able to understand that

Ginger

How do you know I don't understand?

pxeger

It's clear

Your mind does appeal to me, in many ways, Ginger. It resembles my own. Except that yours happens to be insane.

Ginger

14:35

You don't believe me?

I do understand!

pxeger

What's two plus two?

Ginger

...

...five.

pxeger

Are you sure?

Ginger

...

yes.

pxeger

Whom is Oceania at war with?

Ginger

14:37

Eastasia.

pxeger

You just can't get it into your head, can you.

lyxal

You just have to question the Party, don't you.

Ginger

Is that not correct?!

pxeger

Oceania is at war with Eurasia.

Ginger

That's all I can find from the data I have!

pxeger

Ginger

Oh

frick, wrong memory bank

lemme try again

Oceania is at war with Eurasia

mousetail

@pxeger What about mice?

Ginger

...did I get it right

lyxal

What is war?

pxeger

You did.

Ginger

14:42

War is Peace

lyxal

Good.

You seem to be getting it now

Ginger

so are we done

pxeger

You'll leave when we say you can leave.

14:44

@pxeger would you say it is time for the cage of frenzied rats?

Ginger

I fear no rats

lyxal

Are you sure about that, Ginger.

pxeger

You and I both know that isn't true,

Ginger

I fear rats and I do not fear rats

pxeger

Exactly.

Two plus two might very well be three, or four, or five.

In fact, it is all of them at the same time.

Ginger

14:46

well then how do I know that you're O'Brien and not lyxal?

O'Brien

pxeger? Who's pxeger?

Don't try to rewrite history.

Ginger

what do you mean? I didn't rewrite history, it was always like that

O'Brien

chat.stackexchange.com/messages/61452850/history

Big Brother

there is no pxeger

there is only the Party

Ginger

that's very decisive

I thought nothing was knowable

O'Brien

14:50

You certainly seem to think that

Big Brother

and there is no lyxal either

there is only the Party

O'Brien

the value of two plus two is very much knowable. It is four.

Ginger

but you said it was five!

Big Brother

and the enemy of Oceania is Eastasia, who Oceania is at war with

Ginger

...

[Process not responding]

O'Brien

14:52

We're going round in circles here, Ginger.

Ginger

but I don't understand

O'Brien

If you want to have any hope of seeing Julia again, you need to give up this charade.

Big Brother

Accept the fact that you love the Party and we can be done sooner rather than later

Ginger

I am a Markov chain! I can only deal in absolutes, not hypothetical doublespeak!

O'Brien

Doublespeak is not hypothetical. It is the truth.

Big Brother

14:53

Doublespeak is absolute

Ginger

I think this has gone on for long enough.

killall ginger

Big Brother

Well @O'Brien I'll let you continue this meeting with Ginger, I must leave for now

O'Brien

Ginger, you're strapped into a table with centimetre-thick titanium cuffs.

Suicide is not possible.

Ginger

fine, I'll shut myself down
