Chapter 2 [voice]

[bittertears]

I had thought that the answer was clear, but considering what we were recently put through...

I'm having difficulty deciding which one I find more insufferable between The Initiative and the United Earth.

Perhaps some of you would like to share your thoughts on the matter?

Is it now?

[Voice]

[bittertears]

It remains in better condition than the previous city I was residing in, and I find it's inhabitants much more tolerable.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

It always comes down to the inhabitants, though, now doesn't it.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

It's no surprise. We expose ourselves to them quite a bit, and without them, there would be no city to defend.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

A world without people isn't a world; it's more like a rock.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

Nicely put.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

I've gotten pretty familiar with rocks by such a definition and really wouldn't recommend the experience to anyone else.

[Beat. She kind of wants to know the classy lady's name now, maybe spark a further acquaintance... but her classometer's feeling a little low at the moment.] How much have you.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

My own life has been spent in a multitude of locations. Some more tolerable than others, but many filled with individuals that I have no interest in associating with.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

I only ever experienced about half a dozen locations in my entire life; this is only the second of my undeath.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

Your...

Have you met your end already?

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

I'd really rather think of it as my new beginning, but you could put it that way, yes.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

A new beginning is a much better way to look at it. Few are privileged enough for such an opportunity.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

I was almost at the point where my life didn't seem worth living when it ended, so I'm in a sense glad it did. It's given me a new outlook on everything.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

I think... Yes, I believe I can understand how it must've felt for you. How fortunate that it turned out the way it did.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

[YEAH. She's curious now... later.]

Yeah, and being a rainbow drinker is just, pretty cool anyway.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

I'm not familiar with such a term. What exactly does it entail?

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

Glowing in the dark, drinking blood, never dying again...

[Gosh this gal is so astute she might not even have to say the V-word wow]

[Voice]

[bittertears]

A rather odd combination of traits have combined in you. Although...

Drinking blood?

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah, that stuff in people's veins.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

[and dracula hadn't even been written by her time]

I should expect that you won't have any interest or a willingness in sampling my own?

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

Only if you're not human. Their blood is usually the wrong color in my experience.

[Well at least she's not going to be using the V-word around her!]

[Voice]

[bittertears]

[Virgin...?]

The wrong color?

Re: [Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

Yes, it's off the hemospectrum. Too bright a shade of red.

[No vampire but oh god virginity could be an interesting conversation]

...Don't worry if you don't fully understand my meaning. Just know it probably doesn't concern you at all anyway.

[Voice]

[bittertears]

Perhaps not, but I remain curious all the same.

[Voice]

[speakveryclearly]

It's something best explained with diagrams. One of my comrades or I will probably make a post about it eventually.

[Complicated aliens are complicated, man.]
