[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]


too soon, too early

not quickly enough

calm down, take a breath we're still setting up
we'll take it apart
you always do

we can carry it ourselves
is it really necessary

^finally, that's better
wait what's going on

it means we need to do inventory more often
when you have so many thoughts, we keep them in storage

right next to the limbs
potted plants
tomatoes

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we can't remember

[suchatroll.livejournal.com]

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

...That doesn't make any sense!

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

if you say so

...
...
...

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

of course not
we make the sense somewhere else

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

[kdljafkdj he hates having his words twisted around like that. But he rethinks what they said and tries something else.]

...You said that when you have so many thoughts, you 'keep them in storage.' Does that mean you can't remember certain thoughts? You experience memory loss?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

though it's hard to remember something
you're not sure you've forgotten

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Poor word? [Were was "God" when it was trying to slice her throat?]

Really? Whose souls did you create then?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

What about the roses and orchids? Do they know what they want to be?

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky, then. Are others here capable of creating souls?

The fish? ["Trust the fish", that's what the orchid had said.] Is it here too? I'd like to speak with it.

Well I guess it'd depend on what you look like... What do you look like?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

I'm majestic
full of all the right lines and points

[There's a very long pause as Fran considers his next question-]

What are the things that they are breaking?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

the world

it's shameful

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't.

They're the ones keeping this world the way it is, then? It's their fault, not yours?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

they haven't fixed it have they

they wanted to hold it in place

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

How cowardly, running away from their mistakes like that.

[Not that he's any better, of course, but this is giving him even more motivation to go find them.]

...

Are they the ones at fault for bringing us back to life, since you said that you didn't want to?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we don't want to
but we have to

or else you'd be stuck with us
and it's crowded enough

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

...

[His eyes widen for just a bit, before he tries to manage to put on an expression that's as apathetic as possible.]

If you didn't bring us back to life, then we would become a part of you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

your parts are inferior
why should we have to store all of them
