jonny (nonvenomous) on Nostr: so the feeling is like, if you've ever been in a place that's way too fancy for you ...

so the feeling is like, if you've ever been in a place that's way too fancy for you to be in, my first instinct is to start looking around for the places i'm not supposed to go, where are the weird places that are only private by social convention. usually any of the important doors are locked or there is someone standing in front of them. but sometimes you step over a velvet rope and try a door and find it unlocked, so you go through and go for as long as you can until someone stops you, and then you pretend you were lost and looking for the bathroom and give up.

muse is sort of like that, except the doors *say* they are locked but if you push on them you find out there isn't even a latch in the doorknob. or the doors are locked but if you jiggle them enough times they open. or there is just a big pile of gold bars lying on the ground in the middle of the hallway with no doors. and sometimes when someone catches you snooping around where you're not supposed to be, instead of telling you to get out of there they just start helping you. and all around on all the walls someone has sticky taped up notes that are like "do NOT tell anyone that all the GOLD is stored, unlocked, behind this door. if anyone figured out they could get ALL THE GOLD."
