Specifically chasing for 24 hours... So, any of the antagonists that require planning, or are infirmed ... Or both?
John Kramer, the jigsaw killer. Bitch has terminal brain cancer and is in a wheelchair most of the time. I don't think he could come up with a jigsaw plan, kidnap and execute it in that much time.
I was also going to say the SAW guy, but for different reasons:
John only targets people who he knows, who morally disgust him, or people who have personally made his own life considerably worse, or slighted him in some way.
...
If the scenario is... I have to survive 24 hours without being targetted by one of his kidnapping and torture plots...
Well, I do not have any deep, hidden secrets, I do not deny any part of my past to anyone willing to ask about it, I do not pretend to be something I am not. I have of course made mistakes, but they've never ruined any one's life, and I freely admit and take responsibility for them.
Frankly, given my considerably traumatic life thus far, and my current status of... being crippled, doing not much beyond PT and lemmyposting all day, untill I finish recovery... and given that I have actually made friends out of actual, diagnosed sociopaths before...
I really do not think I would be the kind of person John would have any problem with.
...
If the scenario was just poof, both of us appear in a room and are both there for 24 hrs... we just... talk? Trauma bond over our fucked up lives?
John has, more than once, recruited into his schemes people who... pass his tests, whom he does not find morally abhorent.
I don't have to agree with him on every single issue, I mostly just have to not be a hypocrite, and not intentionally try to offend or harm him.
...
Oh right, given that I have actually been held captive by a fentanyl addled mad man, for a week, and managed to talk my way into letting me leave... and then stumble over to a nearby firestation and tell them to call the police...
If I have actually survived a week of a very similar situation, I think I can survive just 24 hrs with a fictional character, who has a much, much more consistent, albeit still fucked up worldview.
Hasn't Jigsaw killed some of them for really stupid reasons, though? I don't remember most of the details, but weren't some of them basically just lazy and a bit dickish?
Though I'd be willing to chock those up to bad writing more than Jigsaw letting his morals slip, since he makes it very clear in multiple scenes what his intent is.
I mean yeah, he is not perfectly consistent nor 'reasonable', and... some nonsense plot inconsistencies/holes begin to crop up as the entire series keeps going.
That being said: I'm not saying I'm 100% guaranteed to be safe.
I'm saying I think I have pretty good odds, and thus so would a lot of other people who are self-aware and contemplativr enough to not be massive moral hypocrites, or in denial of or hiding some horrible secret in their past.
absolutely insane life story, congrats on being alive tho!
Thanks for believing me.
Yeah, when I'm feeling down... I can always look back on that, objectively tell myself 'I've survived worse', and give myself a pat on the back for that, haha!
I can't tell if you're serious...
