Plot Discussion

This is a fun discussion for people to discuss the plot so far and what they're finding fun in the story and what they think of it. This is less criticism and just more of a fun discussion to take place over the last few scenes and what speculation you have for the storyline so far. It'll be fun seeing what members think and who is right, who is wrong and just what people think of it so far. Keep it cool!

In Danger Room exercises, everybody goes in with a particular mindset. A mindset that it's just a simulatory exercise, and that nothing that occurs within the Danger Room is real. Regardless of what happens inside the simulation, I think if anything, it'd be more unrealistic for someone to be "traumatised as fuck" when they've just been through something they knew was fake. With regards to the "dream sequence" more recently, I know you mentioned how I wasn't "acting scared", but the thing is, it was even stated by Christian that we were supposed to feel "incredibly drained", so I don't know where people were finding the energy to scream and shout, or even fight against the restraints. Furthermore, I'm not sure about you, but if I were to find myself in that scenario, with "murderers" selecting people at random to die, then I certainly would not be screaming, shouting, or otherwise drawing attention to myself. What's more, after the "dream sequence" and we were all back in the dining room, not all people respond the same way to a supposedly "traumatic event". I'm no psychologist, but I can promise you that not everybody is guaranteed to have an explicit and obvious reaction to such an event, i.e: by vocalising or otherwise demonstrating their trauma. In fact, in the aftermath of experiencing a "traumatic event", people are more likely to react in an opposing manner, by showing more introverted traits, being less willing to communicate due to a loss of security, be it personal or mental, or feeling as though they are no longer safe.

Aside from that, the plot is going really well so far. The "dream sequence" scene the other night really had my head spinning, cannot wait to see what more you guys have in store! :D

i dont have the time or energy to read all this so i'll pick out points that stand out:

1. the first dream sequence wasn't performed in the danger room, and started with explosions and such in the lobby then them being thrown into that situation, yet people were still acting like little edgelords that didn't give a fuck that an 8 year old was beaten up and killed infront of them, and one of their own friends were killed and people were saying "its not real" "its a simulation"??? they wouldn't know it was a dream and they would know full well the professor wouldn't put them in that situation when at this present time he has no intention of making them x-men because they are 13/14 year old children

2. i study psychology and whilst that is true, people act differently to traumatic events but they are 13/14 year old children who don't have control over their emotions in the first place and put a traumatic event on top of that, they lose their shit but people are acting like they're perfectly fine after the events have happened when truthfully, they would more than likely be traumatised by the events - a lot of people have put in their backstory over the comic rps "after watching his/her parents die" "after killing this and this" to make them little edgelords but refuse to accept it as a storyline in the rp

idk what else u wrote but i skim read and saw these so here u go kee x

I know, and if you looked at what I said when I quoted Amir, you'll see that the highlighted section that discusses Danger Room simulations, that I didn't say anything about the dream sequence being a Danger Room exercise. What I will say however, is that the dream sequence was exactly that. A dream. Well, more of a nightmare but my point stands. When somebody wakes up from a nightmare, (in most cases) they're not completely traumatised and they certainly don't run around kicking and screaming about what they did in said nightmare. Furthermore, in many people's nightmares and such, a lot of people report (when speaking about it) that they found they could not scream, or shout for help, I've experienced this myself in a nightmare and I am sure other people have too, so the fact that they weren't displaying extreme emotions could be put down to that also. My personal reasoning for the situation was that my character, Aiden, is a pure realist. As you saw in the first Trask event, he was sure that there was a reasonable explanation for what was going on, and for what transpired. Which is the same way as he approached the dream sequence, that there must have been a particular reason or purpose, and so there was no reason to scream or shout, or display extreme emotion. Also, as stated in what I said the first time, people were supposedly low on energy, now extreme displays of emotion can quickly bring about fatigue, so why everyone was expunging what presumably little energy they had, kicking and screaming about a little girl that they did not know being shot is beyond me.

Hope it wasn't too long for your "time or energy" :)

I'd just like to say some people's dealing with trauma was by calling it fake. Peri, during the dream sequence, really wanted to believe it was a nightmare, and after they woke up from it, it'd make SENSE for people to believe that nothing else would be real after that.
