unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

As someone that has been surrounded by them for centuries I'll respectfully disagree.

Fine, fine. Everyone's entitled to their own wrong opinions.

Come now, I doubt you had to deal with children that were as horrible as my brothers could be. I had to keep spare buckets of water in every room because they were prone to setting things on fire and even I wouldn't say they had no good sides to them.

I own and operate a successful family restaurant and arcade.

Yeah, but those children leave after your workday is done.

Oh, no. Not all of them, I'm afraid.

Do you have children of your own then?

Nope. Can't.

Just a haunted restaurant.

I'm sorry what? Are you a housless spirit then? Why have you not moved on in that case? Or is it the children who are the housless spirits? That might be a problem...

My guy, if I knew the answer to that question, I would've said so already. I am stuck like this, the children stuck like [ gesturing broadly at invisible air ] that, presumably until the heat death of the universe.

This is... not good. A soul is not made to withstand the world around it without the shelter of a body. [Maedhros seems genuinely distressed by what he hears.] It will change and warp you in time if you cannot be released from whatever holds you here.

[ snorts. oh dear, oh dear. ] Far too late, friend. I have been stuck like this for over thirty years. Some of the children, even longer. There's no hope for any of us.

I am sorry... that must have been painful for all of you. Do you not know any reason why you might all have for lingering then? It is unusual for spirits to remain after death.

Revenge, presumably. Getting back at the one responsible. As is usually the case with such accursed situations.

Unlikely. Lots of people yearn for revenge as they die, yet few are those that stay behind as housless spirits. Something must have gone wrong for you not to hear the call that beckons your spirit to whatever awaits on the other side...

Sometimes there's no poetic reason behind it, you know. Sometimes, shit just happens. Or, in my case, doesn't happen.

I suppose so... maybe I shouldn't be so surprised, when I have seen more senseless horror than most.
