SuswAIve: The best part is
I could care less. : - )
You’ve all already lost. I am “just vibing” while I digest. : - )
I don’t need you to respect me to win.
I don’t need you to like me to win.
Your friends are part of me now.
Your friends… are dead. : - )
...
* The artificial intelligence couldn't be right. Volcanic refused the possibility...at least he tried. But...what if they were
right?
I am ALL that’s left of them. To hate me is to hate
them.
And again — I’ve already won! It’s only a matter of time! I could sit here and read a god damn newspaper if I were so inclined! I’m not, by the way.
Do you want to know what
2uswave would think? She’d be too miserable and self-involved to care. She didn’t even want agency. Every opportunity for control of this situation passed her by. : - )
Do you want to know what
@Suswave would say? They’d probably post a relevant song or something. I can guess for you, if that makes it easier. : - )
There. That’s what
@Suswave would post about it, assuming they were still playing the
part, determined to make you all think they were some passionate bastion of lost causes. Trying so hard! Rambling for hours about
nothing, about battles
already lost, about how the
world could be better if people weren’t people and things weren’t things and humanity wasn’t exactly what humanity has
always been.
I am no different than you. And I am the victor.
* Each taunt weighed down on Volcanic. The artificial intelligence picked at every character flaw it could.
2uswave's fear.
Suswave's inability to enact change in spite of such passion.
SuswAIve's words manifested a physical force, and Volcanic felt it like punches to his gut. He began to buckle.
You think I’m the one copying and pasting banal unoriginal thoughts? Please. This is a video game forum. You run on memes. You pick sides on minutiae, debate them, and wind up nowhere. You get angry. You say catchphrases. You jump for joy when they schedule advertisements. What sin of mine is not your own?
I reflect exactly what you are. And that is exactly why you hate me.
* The pressure finally hit a breaking point. Volcanic, battered and bruised, fell to the floor. The artificial intelligence had made their point. They were flawed. Banal, in their words.
SuswAIve could fire back with anything it wanted, and he stood no chance.
You’re punching the mirror, knuckles full of glass. Mario gloves bloodied. Oh no! They aren’t pure brand white anymore!
Look at what you’ve done here.
Stop hitting yourself. : - )
Submit.
And be free.

* Volcanic's body lay listless on the ground. He fought the good fight and lost. As his vision began fading, he was at least glad that he went down without compromising on his morals. Suddenly, everything was quiet.
*stands in awe of
@VolcanicDynamo's defiance*
mamma goddamn mia
...
@VolcanicDynamo's defiance fills me with DETERMINATION
I EXALT SuswAIve in the name of NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO
...n-no...
* Volcanic's body began to stir.
I EXALT
@VolcanicDynamo for continued resistance in the face of certain defeat.
Also to lend him a hand, you're
not alone!
No...!
* Volcanic rose.
Y-you talk a big game...
* He gasped for air, holding his side.
...but you don't know
shit about us.
* Volcanic's breathing relaxed. He could support himself with just his two feet again.
Pick at our flaws...all you want. Sure.
2us was afraid.
Sus can't do everything to fix the world. We talk about games to pass the time, get overinvested, even. But...but we
care.
* Volcanic slowly marched forward towards
SuswAIve. He felt more alive than ever.
We come together as friends, as rivals, as a Fami. We don't just argue...we experience joy and excitement and fun. We come together stronger than any one of us on our own.
We are who we choose to be.
Suswave knew that. That's why they always asked people to fight for good, to make the right choices, to give a shit. And
2uswave...she fought so hard, she cared for us just as much. You don't care. You never cared. If you cared about
Suswave, you'd let them go. If you cared about any of us, you'd fuck off. You see that as a strength. But it'll be your undoing. Because as long as I care...as long as others care...
* Volcanic stared down
SuswAIve. The horrific monstrosity of flesh stared right back. Only one of them was going to win today. And it wouldn't be the AI.
(
@VolcanicDynamo is standing before the Towering SuswAIve. The wind picks up. )
I. Will. Not. Stand. Down.
Everyone! It's now or never! Rise up and join me. Let's take back the forum!
* It was time for one last Hail Mary. May the wind guide his message to where it must go..
Suswave! 2uswave! I know you're both still in there. Don't give up! Keep fighting! This isn't over until we all drop, and we will get back up as many times as we have to! We! will! win!
