CURRENT carcinoGeneticist [CCG] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board MAGICAL MYSTERY BAR VIRTUAL BULLETIN BOARD

CCG: BEEN A WHILE SINCE I OPENED ONE OF THESE
CCG: LOTS OF NEW USERS
CCG: THE WAY THIS WORKS IS KIND OF A FREE FOR ALL GROUP DISCUSSION
CCG: PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE I HAVE EXCLUDED OUR PAST AND FUTURE SELVES FROM CONTRIBUTING TO THE DISCUSSION
CCG: SO THE 'CURRENT' STUFF IS MORE OR LESS VESTIGIAL AT THIS POINT
CCG: NONETHELESS....
CCG: LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT, LET'S TALK ABOUT OUR PAST AND FUTURE SELVES
CCG: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM?
CCG: DO YOU EVER BLAME YOUR PAST SELF FOR YOUR CURRENT PREDICAMENTS?
CCG: OR MAKE DECISIONS IN THE PRESENT WITH THE INTENTION OF LEAVING THE PROBLEM UP TO YOUR FUTURE SELF?
CCG: IF YOU COULD TALK TO YOUR PAST OR FUTURE SELF WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
CCG: NOT DUMB TIMELINE GAMES, I'M TALKING ABOUT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS HERE
CCG: INSULTS, APOLOGIES, QUESTIONS, SHARING JOKES?
CCG: WHATEVER
CCG: ALTERNATE SELVES FROM CHOICES NOT MADE ARE ALSO FAIR GAME

[ooc: In and out through the day; feel free to tag in & talk among yourselves even if I'm not around!]

FCG: IF YOU HAVE ANY HUMAN LITERATURE ON THE DELICATE ART OF HOLDING TOGETHER A COALITION OF HALF-FERAL MID-PUBERTY CHILD SOLDIERS WHO HAVE ALL BEEN SOCIALIZED TO HATE EACH OTHER BASED ON MEANINGLESS BIOLOGICAL NUANCES AND SOMEHOW POINTING THEM TOWARDS THE ENEMY
FCG: I'D BE HAPPY TO SCOFF AT IT
FCG: WE WERE FUCKING FANTASTIC AT WAR
FCG: WE WERE JUST PRETTY TERRIBLE AT STOPPING WHEN THE REFEREE CALLED TIME

AP: Yeeeeeeah, that still means you're bad at it
AP: By any definition
AP: Any rational definition
AP: And I know something about child soldiers bred to hate other child soldiers
AP: From an academic standpoint
AP: He can ask me next time I see him, if you like

A dialogue which leads quite naturally to this.
