[ there is a static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. it starts to whisper, before ghostly voices seep through the communication lines ]


thicker than water
and harder to _clean

but true ties are on the inside
which makes them messy to ^connect
the spots we tried some didn't fit

do not forget

we tried to believe

we're trying!
in thrice-blind, double-jointed tests

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You already have. And you can, I know that. But it's not impossible to understand each other. And you don't need to hurt any of us.

[senshible.livejournal.com]

Ooh, double-jointed tests. May I ask how a test becomes double-jointed?

[livingwashersin.livejournal.com]

... That does sound messy.

[argentimperator.livejournal.com]

Sentient beings are not toys.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

don't need to


you're not supposed to be here
why shouldn't we?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

maybe

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Because it's wrong. Hurting each other won't help us or you, either.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

look, it thinks it has independent thought

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

do you know how to clean it?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

but it makes us feel better

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[That would be something Usagi has way, way too much experience with - blamed for so many things she never wanted, never did, never even knew about.]

I understand you're angry, but blaming someone who didn't do anything wrong won't make you feel better. Not really.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

it will eventually

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Why do you want to hurt people?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Angering them further than you already did won't make anything 'alright'.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

no reason

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You're talking to them, too.

[sun-lord-ra.livejournal.com]

You will explain this.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Fear? Of us?

Even when we came there, it wasn't to hurt you.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I didn't go to the Inner City.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

We already went. They can't get madder about that when it's already done and they already did things to us because of it.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

what is this

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Meddling further won't make them more angry? [He scoffs] I'd rather not find out if you're wrong, if it's just the same to you lot.
