(Making your Live toons your priority is absolute heresy to their way of thinking.) Of course, they all think they're welcoming and nice as can be because they're always ready to take you under their wing if you agree to dance their dance and all that.

Yes, SOE is ultimately the one responsible for the situation on Test, but there's a lot of people there who need to get the fuck over themselves and ask themselves what they're really there for.
