[pseudonymous text posted as 'Spicy Kiss'] Kiss of Questions

[scentofpink]

Hello, Exsilium. I've got some questions for you. If you'd rather answer any of those questions more privately, we can encrypt our communications a little more securely. Now, the questions.

I've read every single document they gave us. The history, the explanation of our situation, the everything. Now, can you tell me what isn't covered by this material? What're our Initiative friends like? And what're our foes like? I can already surmise a bit from the review of recent events I've managed to get.

Now for some more philosophical questions. What does freedom mean to you? What would you do for it? Would you be willing to die fighting for the right to self-autonomy? I can provide my own answer: I've sacrificed my life and my humanity. Sometimes you have to cut off your leg to escape. How far would you go?

Okay, those were some heavy questions. Let's end things off with something lighter. What're your favorite pleasures? I'd have to say that my top favorite's thinking about puzzles and interesting questions like those. Bonus points if I can work out answers. Second favorite's reading. My third favorite can be surmised from the fact that I'm posting this from some stranger's bed. I've other hobbies as well, but those're the main ones.

I'll be awaiting your answers to those questions.
~~~Spicy Kiss~~~

[Sadly, she completely bypasses the whole first part of his questions to skip to something else.]

Why are you in a stranger's bed in the first place ?

Doesn't that seem a little rude ?

[Rosy couldn't help but chuckle as she read that.]

Perhaps that hint was too subtle. I was saying that I did sexual things with that stranger. Right now they're asleep.

Are my questions of any interest, or would you rather discuss what I'm doing in others' beds?

[luxuresombre]

I figured that part out. I just don't understand why you would stay around after completing the sexual relations.

...As for your questions. I'll answer one-- I suppose I'd die to gain autonomy, if it became necessary.

[scentofpink]

Because it's comfortable enough in this bed. If they wake before I'm gone, I'll probably make them something as thanks for using it.

Yes, the 'if it became necessary' is the big part. It's harder to enjoy your freedom if you're dead, after all, unless you have unusual circumstances.

[luxuresombre]

When it comes down to it, of course, one can never say for sure.

Why ask people these questions?

permatext.

[spellwork]

Freedom is power, status. All the things that come with it. And I think it's safe to say that I've done and would continue to do unspeakable things to maintain it.

[scentofpink]

[Already she doesn't like this person.]

I see... So you believe in freedom at the price of others' freedom, then?

[spellwork]

[ it's a regular reaction back home; she's used to it. ]

Oh, I wouldn't say that, necessarily. I just don't want it getting in the way of mine.

[scentofpink]

When would it get in the way of yours?

strange taste of entertainment you have there

perma pseudonymous text

[scentofpink]

Everyone's got their own individual tastes, including many that others'd find strange.

[phaseshifts]

heavy questions to call them fun.

[scentofpink]

Might as well make them fun. Haven't you hard the expression if I don't laugh I'll cry? I think too much as is.

also anonymous text

[itstotallyaliens]

[Spicy Kiss. well that's certainly a switch from Deep Throat or Mr. X. Mulder raises an eyebrow]

If you've sacrificed your life, how are you still here? Not doubting you. Just curious.

perma pseudonymous text

[scentofpink]

In a sense, I'm not here in the flesh.

sounds good to me

[itstotallyaliens]

Now that's interesting. How could they bring you here, but not physically?

[and moreover, how could she have indulged in Favorite Pastime Number Three without a body? hmm]

[scentofpink]

In a sense, I can make myself present in the flesh.

[Miraculously, Kevin has managed to figure out how to post anonymously. Clearly, the angel knows his priorities.]

Dear Miss Spicy Kiss,

I have only recently arrived in Exsilium, so I am afraid I cannot assist you with further information on the Initiative.

As for my views on freedom, I must admit that I have never cared much about my own, though this is certainly an important topic to some of those I hold in high esteem. Unfortunately, it took me too long to understand their desires, and that is a cause of deep regret. I was attempting to make up for lost time before the Initiative brought me here, so now I am at a loss. I am truly sorry to hear that you had to sacrifice yourself to be free. I honestly hope those close to you were able to understand your choice in the end.

My favorite pleasure is being near young master. Our times together are usually very peaceful. He is a quite bright boy who loves books, and so do I. I also have to admit that I have become slightly addicted to gambling, though I fear to find out what happened to Ascot.

I am sorry to hear about your indisposition. Having to keep to a stranger's bed must be awfully awkward. I do have some modest healing skills, so please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

The only one close to me made the same choice I did. And it seems like you enjoy service to your master. Well, if it makes you happy.

Thank you for your responses, you've been the most thorough so far in answering my questions.

But I must clear up a misunderstanding. I'm in their bed due to having recently had sexual relationships with them. So I don't require help. Thank you for your offer anyways. I'll be sure to look you up if I should ever need it, though I do have an unusual situation regarding my body. Would you be the one who recently made a similar offer on the network, or another person?

Re: pseudonymous text

[senseandcecilbility]

[H-he will probably take a full minute to be shocked over the whole idea of a double suicide and a lady having a sexual relationship with a stranger. And then he will take another minute trying to work around her question just to fail completely. It is not that he didn't expect her to make the connection, but it was his duty to offer help. And now it is not like he can lie or take his offer back, is it?]


I would be glad to examine the situation and see if I can be of any service.

[scentofpink]

What I meant is that I don't properly have a material body. While I don't have any issues with it currently, that might complicate things if I do need treatment in the future as any issues'd be spiritual rather than physical.

It's beginning to look like withdrawing facts about myself'll only complicate things, so I might as well abandon anonymity. In short, I'm a conceptual being, or if this word'd be more familiar, a spirit. I can make myself present physically. It burns up energy, but I don't have too much trouble with that.

[And sometimes the leg grows back, because Zerg.]

I wouldn't give my enemies the satisfaction of knowing that I died, even if it was after them.

[scentofpink]

[By this point she had well already given up on anonymity]

It's not like I really had any enemies at the time. Just a jailer who had forgotten about me.

[worldswillburn]

They got tired of having to keep an eye on you?

[scentofpink]

From what I gathered later, something else had caught their interest instead.
