EXILED: Crooked Rose Woods

Kaymart wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 2:53 pm Get a call from a private number to my surprise was not who I was expecting. So I answered and was caught off guard as it was Dan from exiled. Sound much like someone playing a sound board of his voice if you ask me. I was told I was going to be asked some questions, ok great!

If I was handed a loaded gun and was told to put old dog dog what would be my last thoughts before pulling the trigger?
What was the dogs name?
How do I feel about cottage cheese?

Of course I know my answers now, but that's not how this works I suppose. They like to make me get inside my head, pissed off or angry at my own answers. Is there a right or wrong answer though? Is this how we choose our path? There interactions leave me racking my brain. But I enjoy the excitement.

I said there was no name but of course after answering I knew that wasn't true. My thought would definitely be was this the right thing to do. I always find myself second guessing a lot of things that go on in my head. It's sorta my weakness, or maybe it's me not wanting to disappoint the higher power. I aim the please them, don't we all? I personally love cottage cheese.
I eat it everyday honestly.

Moving my reply here for visibility. I find it interesting that they assumed that you would pull the trigger rather than asking if you would in general. I dont think there are any right or wrong answers to anything here just more questions and how you and others interpret them. Except the cottage cheese one, however you answered that probably changes everything.

An old dog with old tricks put down for the sake of something new and shiny, wondering whether Lamia or Darren or whoever pulled the trigger even gave him a second thought before moving on. I’m sure at the very least he’s feeling a bit neutered at the moment…

Then again, maybe Blondie’s right, and Dan’s ready to fight for what he created. Could a rebellion be in the offing? Maybe we’ll ALL be following Dan when we’re told not to before too long.

I actually was really curious on why when asked not to follow Dan, you followed anyway. Did he give an indication that he was saying not to follow but really wanted you to instead?

Maybe the dog question in the call was highlighting how you follow or don’t follow instructions? If you were handed a gun and told to put down a dog, would you be considering what your last thoughts were, or would you refuse to follow the instruction? The question certainly highlights that there are times when you can/should refuse an order, and times when you should.

We were given a message to the extent of we could investigate if we saw something worth it, or we could sit back and do nothing, and be nothing, or we could investigate.

If you were told sunsets are worth watching, would you stare directly at the Sun while you waited for one to start?

Always exercise caution in the real world. We don't own it (officially), and are not responsible for anyone's actions.

"Don't open a closed door", meant literally rather than metaphorically, is a good rule of thumb.

Blessings.

Hello Mart. Your beard and your camera death stare brought me tremendous pleasure.

In answer to your question; No. Not always.

The problem with emphatic and immovable statements is that the world is neither emphatic nor immovable.

If I hand you a burning stick, is your biggest risk not seeing how flammable your hair is?

Should you test the heat resistance of your face?

To not do so, is taking the biggest risk, right?





The biggest risk, in general, in life, is to take no risks.

This is not the same as saying take every risk.



Blessings.

I really like this interpretation given Kaymart's interactions so far.

...but part of me is still worried that Dan's call was expressing guilt, what if Dan was handed a loaded gun and was told to plug a leak
