I can't believe how much time people spend on these machines
and how much weirdly personal and/or sensitive information people seem happily inclined to spill on them. Or you'd think it was sensitive at least.

Anyway I think it's so interesting how badly people want to go home and say they have their own battles to fight and the Initiative's battle is not theirs. It's interesting because if the Initiative is to be believed then their fight is our fight too. Given that our worlds are likewise being plundered. I wonder which world of mine is actually being used but I can only really think that home would be good for it. Of course it's hard to trust these people. I wonder what they would have to do to win the whole group over though. Entirely it's probably an impossibility. There's too many different factors. They sure do let folks run with slack though.

Who remembers when we fought practice battles in our memories anyway?? I am interested in talking to you.

Also I want to play a game. Does anyone know a good word game?

Here are some riddles too.

1) You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
2) I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?
3) What can you catch but not throw?

Who thinks of these things anyway? [People are so strange.

SHE'S BORED YEAH...]

[payback]

Nnnn.

[Vanadi do you even know how much you remind her of Madara sometimes.]

[implying]

You sound pained, my dear. Is that a common reaction to the truth, for you?

[payback]

That's not even a fair joke to make. How would you know?

[implying]

You've just proved that I know, haven't you?

[payback]

No. What??

[implying]

Well, nevermind that, for now. I'll pick this up again when I'm able to deliver to you your favorite breakfast in bed.

[payback]

What?

[implying]

What what?

[payback]

[WARY SILENCE...]

[implying]

[ WAITS FOR A WHILE... then a sigh. ]

Not talking to me will certainly never illuminate the error of my ways for me, Rin.

[payback]

I'm not sure if you're doing this on purpose or not.

[implying]

Doing what, exactly?

[payback]

What are you implying?

[implying]

Why, only that I hope to know your favorite meal soon, and not a thing more.

[payback]

Mmm... [SUSPICIOUS.]

[implying]

Would I lie to you, my dear?

[payback]

I don't know.

[implying]

Come, that's an easy enough question!

[payback]

Probably if it served you.

[implying]

Oh, to the common man, perhaps, but not to you! Besides, knowing you, my dear, you would most likely see through any lies immediately. It would be better not to try.

[payback]

Mmm. That's so reassuring. [She's not even trying to not sound sarcastic.]

Seriously... what do you want?

[implying]

What, of you? Or are we speaking in the broader sense of what do I want from the world at large?

[payback]

Of me.

[implying]

To put it as frankly as I can manage, I'd like to be your friend.

[payback]

[Even with the bedroom eyes.]

You said that before...
