I mean this, I'm okay (trust me).

(this is mikey mcmillin if he was in danger days) Ollie .M 16 Battery City citizen. Training as part of the International Surveilence Initiative.

[betterlivingollie]

Hello, you can call me Ollie! I'm one of the youngest people of our time to work in the international surveilence initiative! essentially I handle many types of cameras in the city as well as in the zones, from your regular old security cameras to fly-like drones and more, our job is to build, repair, launch, supervise, process footage and audio, and occasionally even remotely control the many cameras that help keep citizens safe and killjoys at bay. (although I'm still in training)

I'm dedicated to keep our city safe and make sure more people aren't lost to killjoys like my dear sister Illi was, her killers will be brought to justice.

I'm here mostly for work inquiries but unrelated ones are also welcome! as long as you're complying with company guidelines of course.

info under cut:

ok so- this is a sibling blog to @bl4ck-k3ys , essentially Bat's blog is "what if illi was a killjoy" and mine is "What if her brother was a BL-Ind operative", this version of Ollie does not know that Illi is alive, he truly thinks that killjoys killed her and he's brainwashed as shit but means well. more to be added as I figure him out more

[silasofblind]

I'm not insane, you're insane~ And boringg, voluntarily working for bl/ind and all.... .... LIZARD ATTACK 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎 -C.C.

Right... All killjoys are so annoying :)

[betterlivingollie]

Yeah, but some of them are more misguided than malicious... even if they are threats to be handled.

[betterlivingollie]

Hello Ollie. :)

Could I perhaps request the security footage for Nursing Wing 9A? I believe there has been a thief as the new batch of Sterelax we just received has been stolen.

Have a better day! :)

-@illium-feuerestein

Sure thing, Nurse Illium! Hope you catch the thief.

It will be sent to your desk in a few minutes, I'd appreciate any updates on the situation, okay?

[mercyofblind]

I'm in your walls.

Your electrical wires taste spicy :P

- @neutron-boy

How... Is it possible to survive eating wires? I do not believe that is survivable.

[betterlivingollie]

Maybe they won't survive.

[betterlivingollie]

Hello. Hi. Look, I know this is... Strange. You do not know me, or we may have met in passing. Either way, I will tell you, please. Do not trust Mercy. This is important. She is lying to you.

- @reyesofblind

Oh great, another killjoy here trying to get me to defect? Your voice is vaguely familiar but do not think that makes you a friend.

This is interesting though, I want to see what case you could possibly come up with here.

[reyesofblind]

I used to work for BLi. I worked quite closely with Mercy. She tends towards the more... Manipulative side. I used to believe that she wanted the best for everyone. She is only trying to make her own life easier. I may not be able to speak with you much longer, but take what Mercy says with caution. Do not blindly trust her. Or anything BLi says.

[betterlivingollie]

You used to work for BLi, and where are you now? In a desert wasteland eating dog food and small reptiles. If this advice lead you to this point I'll pass.

[reyesofblind]

It is better than being lied to and manipulated by the people you believe to be on your side. Of course, choosing to leave Battery City is your choice. I am aware I cannot convince you to leave. Sooner or later you will have to come to terms with the fact that Mercy and the rest of BLi are lying

[betterlivingollie]

So what I'm hearing is that dog food tastes really awful and pretending that you're better than me helps it go down better?

So do you do this to all of Mercy's coworkers or am I special? We don't even have the same job!

[reyesofblind]

I am not trying to say that I am better than you, I apologize if it came off that way. I am just... I am trying to help you. That is all I want.

[betterlivingollie]

It's weird.. I can't tell if you're brainwashed or just a really good liar..

[reyesofblind]

I am neither. I wish the best for you in finding your sister

[betterlivingollie]

I..

Thanks.

I will find her.

I hope you get well at some point, you don't seem like you deserve any of this.

That's.. delightful actually.

Unsafe in any context that doesn't involve proper gear and a sanitary environment, but delightful

[betterlivingollie]

Hello, I apologize for bothering you, Ollie. I have come up with... A few theories on who killed Illi. You do wish to avenge her? Don't you? :)

- @mercyofblind

(OOC: I always feel awkward in ppl's inbox, I'm sorryyy. Also, idk how 2 write manipulative characters, n Mercy is manipulative. She's just... Irredeemable in general lol)

No no you're not bothering me at all! In fact, you're just the person I wanted to hear from today.. Any details or theories from you will be greatly appreciated.

[mercyofblind]

Perfect. Now I would like to start off with something important: Illi's death may have been misreported. She might be... Alive. I may be incorrect. Do not get your hopes up. As she has also... Changed. She is somewhere in the Zones. Running with killjoys. Likely not of her own volition. As you work in surveillance, I feel that you can help in getting your sister back! We can find her together. Of course, if you are willing to work with me :)

[betterlivingollie]

What?... misreported?

Things don't.. they don't get misreported like that.. do they?

Excause me?? Misreported?! She- She died! I- Dead- She's dead! MISREPORTED?????

Months- crying- sobbing- treatment- so much treatment just so I could accept it- handle it-

-MISREPORTED???

[Ollie seems.. unstable, on the verge of tears]

[mercyofblind]

*she sighs. Not angry. Just clearly a bit annoyed*

Yes. Her death was misreported. It is quite... Unfortunate. What is even more unfortunate is that she has been taken in by some killjoys. Brainwashed. She believes that we here at Better Living Industries are evil. She may even believe you are evil. I am so sorry

[betterlivingollie]

But- She's alive?... We can find her? She's alive?

[mercyofblind]

Yes, she is alive. We can attempt to find her. Hopefully we will

[betterlivingollie]

We will, I swear it.

[betterlivingollie]

would you like some roaches??? :D

~ @mmmbrokle

For research purposes? Yes, for any other purpose? No.

what do ur guys’s air fresheners smell like? :3

Who are you referring to by "ur guys's"? me? my family? my department? Better Living Industries in general?

[betterlivingollie]

Psst. We have ice cream now. Can you call a truce so I can talk to you over ice cream?

I’ll even give you a strawberry

- @andyandyandysixxsixxsixx

This transmission is coming from the zones so no, I will not put aside the fact that you are a threat to safety and normalcy for all and allied with the killers of my sister for the promise of ice cream and strawberries.

That is the saddest attempt at a trap I've ever seen, shouldn't killjoys be smarter than this? Are you intoxicated? Did the desert sun and radiation cook your brain? I think Better Living Industries can provide you with medical attention for that if you cooperate.. I doubt you will since killjoys are usually too stubborn but if you do see sense I will personally bring you some ice cream to the re-education facility and we can talk there. Other than that, no chance.

[andyandyandysixxsixxsixx]

Alright fine

Transitions are actually coming from the border of BLI territory and Zone 1 on a delayed frequency, which means by the time you get this I’m already gone. I am not a threat to national safety as I have not interacted with any SCARECROW or DRAC unit, let alone harm them and have only interacted with Mercy on a friendly, delayed frequency basis. As for your sister, she may not be dead, but I’m sure the files given to you were doctored so you’d believe them given that it happens to so many other BLI agents.

Being blackout drunk would not offer the comprehension I have given you in my original message. Radiation poisoning would render me unintelligible as well, as it mimics sickness or stroke symptoms. BLI would not give me medical attention, as when I did need medical attention when I lived there, they refused to give me adequate medical attention multiple times. Re-education there is also only a pretty for torture until submission, but unlike you, the medication they give you to block out the memory and pain from going through it over and over and over and over doesn’t work on me.

Fuck you and your fake ice cream

(OOC: Not Andy just flying off the handle randomly lol)

[betterlivingollie]

Well maybe I wanted to believe that you weren't just taunting me for fun, that either you had some sort of method or purpose to your madness or that maybe you just misguided or weren't thinking right.. But now you're lying to my face and insulting the memory of my family so maybe I shouldn't be giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Also, our ice cream is not fake! Why would it be fake?!

[andyandyandysixxsixxsixx]

I wanted to talk to you person to person, not BLI to killjoy. And I’m not insulting your family. My best friend was “dead” for years according to BLI due to “civil disobedience”. They were alive, by the way, and I’m about to make out with him. You have no idea if your sister is alive or dead because they’re lying to your face, and you’re happy to sit there and accept that instead of actually figuring out what happened to her.

Also your ice cream is fake because I say it is. Who has pecan ice cream in their fridge willingly?

(OOC: I add the ice cream part, while pecan ice cream is (unfortunately) currently in my fridge)

[betterlivingollie]

Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP SHUT UP I'M - I'm not listening to you- I'm not listening to this right now- I'm not- LEAVE ME ALONE

[His voice keeps breaking, it's hard to read if he's more angry or scared but he sounds different, and it's probably due to more than just Andy's words]
