I'm worried about Darlyn. I can't put my finger on exactly what is making my stomach twist into knots about it, but I feel like something is wrong. She just seems different after getting into the game. We can all pretty well tell that she's depressed, that's for sure, but she's also not letting any of us in. In a situation where she has nothing left to lose and previous societal norms are no longer, she is still choosing not to let herself get attached to anyone else except the two high blood trolls she brought with her. It wouldn't be the first time that she's lied by omission, or directly, and at this point coplayers keeping secrets from each other becomes more and more worrying the further we get into this game, knowing that we are supposed to be acting as a team. I don't want to see it happen, but it feels more and more like there's going to be a schism in the party between the rest of us and the three high blood trolls. I guess I'll just have to enjoy the relative peace while it lasts. There's a lot to like about her, but I can't overlook the huge red flags. All three of them are putting out big red flags, I just can't quite put my finger on how to describe it. I don't think we're going to be able to stay friends forever, no matter how genuinely we all wanted to include her, Shugga and Acedia. Even though I know that there's nothing really I or anyone else can do if it comes to that, I feel really sad knowing how lonely she's probably feeling right now under that mask, and how much worse it's going to get if she makes a regrettable and tragic choice. We still know next to nothing about Shugga and Acedia as is. These are the same trolls that organized this group of people in the first place to play. I am wondering at this point if they had some specific goals in mind that they dont plan on making the rest of us privy to until its too late to turn back. #sburb #recap #frienddrama

See, thats somewhat what I was thinking about my thoughts a first, too. I could just be making an assumption based on their castes as a whole in error and ignorance, so I was willing to put aside my apprehensions. After closer inspection, I'm not so sure I was wrong to be concerned. They are a hopelessly outnumbered dissenting minority in favor of maintaining hemospectrum hierarchy into our new reality, nobody else wants that. Lying and threats of violence when the team has their own ideas about how to play is slowly generating animosity towards them. The cracks are starting to show. Push is going to come to shove eventually, and I'm trying really hard not to think about it too much. It's a very sad thing when people's differences become irreconcilable to the point of having to set boundaries by force instead of agreement.

I just don't want to live in a world where trolls like Haiwei get treated like objects that can just be discarded when they break down or break rank. I want her to be happier than that, and safer than that.
