You were brought here for a reason.

Do not flinch when you read this. Do not lie to yourself. The Diadem is like a sickly animal, and it only swallows what it needs to make itself well again. A cow will eat clay to soothe its stomachs. A brown bear will swallow Carex leaves to kill the parasites in its guts.

Some of you know why you're here. Some of you know, but pretend not to.

Some of you are still searching for your meaning, and there is nothing wrong with that. We aren't born knowing. Meet me on the second floor of the Ash Tree motel, and look for the room without a number on it.

We will find your purpose together.

Very good.

Will you tell me your name so that I can prepare for your arrival?

Just what this place needs. More cultists.

[Look. He has a multitude of experience with such things, and to him at least, this screams I'M A FUCKING CULTIST. Tell him he's wrong.]

[marcato]

I'm not asking you to kneel, dear stranger. I'm asking you to look a little more closely at the world around us.

Preying on nihilism and the existential dread of the masses? That's rather cute of you my dear "A".

[marcato]

I'd argue that what I'm offering is the opposite of nihilism. Some people would call that kind.

[first thought: is this a cult?]

[second thought:]

Dude. . .

Are you okay? Do you need to talk about it?

[are we using potential cults to cope with the existential dread of being trapped on a strange plant??]

[marcato]

I'm trying to help you people, and this is the thanks I get. False concern and filthy accusations.

[baddragoon]

The blind leading the blind? Or do you claim to be one of the ones that know?

[marcato]

I know my purpose. I've known it ever since I was a little boy.

The setting has changed, but little else.

[carmesi]

are you trying to find a purpose too ?

[marcato]

No.

I know my purpose.

[satanicpanics]

holy shit dude
word of advice???
if you're forming a cult you could a least aim for some SUBTLETY

do you at least have a cool name for it or...??

[marcato]

I am not "forming a cult." I am simply offering myself as a kind ear in an unkind world.

[mississippis]

Uh, you're clocking why this sounds creepy, right?

[marcato]

I speak with a great deal of certainty. Perhaps that's what makes some people uncomfortable. They see my words, unshakeable and final, and they think that it's a threat.

It's not. I simply see things that others don't, and I like to talk about them.

623–9111

[kitetsu]

you got it all figured out

[ yeah, not buying it. ]

[marcato]

I know my own purpose, dear stranger. I don't know anyone else's.

That's why I'd like to meet.

[oomfies]

sorry? do cows really do that...

[marcato]

Yes.

You'd be surprised at how innate it is to seek comfort.

[nadine_he_loves]

What if you're perfectly happy without a grand purpose?

[marcato]

Are you?

[godjr]

Aunamee, is that you?

[marcato]

Who is this?

825 - 0161

[headhunt]

( motel? so he's another traveller? )

did you just wake up here and go "gee! this just isn't culty enough for my tastes"?

[marcato]

There's that word again. "Cult."

Is clarity really that frightening?
