[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

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. They just got a lot cooler

[That's the one thing Kurapica can't deal with: people toying with him just to toy with him, without any purpose. Those kind of people are dangerous, but he can't help getting angry, either.]

You're just doing this because you feel like it? How do you not feel anything for what you're doing to us? Plenty of people here are suffering and wish to return to their worlds, and you have no emotions regarding it?!

:DD vorlons = awesome, yo

Why don't you feel anything for us? Just what are we to you?

[His voice becomes ice-cold.]

...Are these your own feelings, or were they instilled by an entity that controls all of you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

some of ours
some of the time

[He doesn't know what can control the Animus, but he defers that question as if he secretly knows the answer.]

Some of us have formed a theory that there's a larger and more powerful entity controlling you.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

they would be wrong

or right

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

How would you view it?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

And what is your way? When you view it from your way, are you controlled by something?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

controlled by ourselves

unless we lack self-control
we might
we lose so many things

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

What do you mean you "lose so many things"? Is that related to a lack of self-control?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

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

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

...That doesn't make any sense!

[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

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

How do you...keep the thoughts you want in 'storage'?
