{Animus}

[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

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'?
