[ 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 didn't go there to bother you! We just... need to understand more about being here, and what happened before. You know what happened, don't you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

a lot of things happen

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Can't you tell us a little more, then?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...Antagonizing them is a bad idea.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

They're the people who know the answers. I have to at least try.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

They aren't people, that's the problem.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

It'll be alright.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

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

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You're talking to them, too.

[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.

[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.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

But they're the only ones who know what we need to know!

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Who needs to know it, Usagi?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

but won't

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Why not? You called yourself lonely before. Don't you want us to try to understand, so you won't be?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[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.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

don't need to


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

[buntails.livejournal.com]

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

[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?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

no reason
