verse three is audio -> video

[allsongs]

[it's a minute or so of a melody hummed, something thoughtful, simple. it persists even when she finds what she wants – that there video function, the telltale thing she knows for sure is her window to everyone else floating around with these things.

far too quiet for her, and quiet only a moment longer before she speaks up:]

I want to understand what it is your name means. Tell me?

I find it humorous in ways. That they set me up to just be a straw man, and yet expect me to become like other men in my class - a solid worker, a man with a family and a career. That I have not done those things and instead gone into my own life makes the name a kind of foretelling.

[allsongs]

What have you done? [EAT PEOPLE. NBD.]

[onemoredeath]

I am an entertainer, a host. Someone who just wanders from place to place with no real life to hold me in one place.

[allsongs]

Is this your happiness to wander?

[onemoredeath]

It is. I am not accustom to being in one place for so long.

[allsongs]

What is the words for this? To be one to travel many places.

[onemoredeath]

My people say ronin. In this language they say wanderer or drifter.

[allsongs]

Ronin. Wanderer. Drifter.

[a pause.]

Thank you, Takegami Teijirou.

You are welcome. Ask me the meaning of words anytime you wish, Simmaeri.
