[backdated to the 3-4 a.m. hours after mission end/return!

just a brief video, though, because Marty's not having any of this. black rings under the eyes, a weary, frustrated look on his face...and one long huff as he manages to find the right button and switch that shit off.

[stonefaith]

But can you still remember them? Every last one?

[theguideless]

I dont know and thats even worse

[stonefaith]

No. I hardly think you've lived long enough to hurt that many people.

[theguideless]

It doesnt have to be a lot to be bad

[stonefaith]

No, it doesn't. But it has to be a lot to become an actual issue. and you have not reached that point.

[theguideless]

Im not supposed to even talk to anybody thats the problem so itll be more if i keep forgetting that

[stonefaith]

For gods sake you are not home anymore and you do not have to adhere to whatever arbitrary rules they have set up there

[theguideless]

[a...delay. so he can puzzle out what arbitrary means.


OH WELL.] Yes i do

[stonefaith]

No you do not. And I will not let you.

[theguideless]

Its better to stay out of the way and not bother anyone

[stonefaith]

It is not better for you.

[theguideless]

Thats not as important as keeping people safe

[stonefaith]

Most people are remarkably good at keeping themselves safe.

[theguideless]

Its easier without something else in the way

[stonefaith]

Then we would all lead very lonely and meaningless lives.

[theguideless]

[a delay.]

I dont think im supposed to wonder about it

[stonefaith]

Is that a rule, too?

[theguideless]

I dont know

[stonefaith]

It doesn't matter. You should wonder about it. You should wonder about many of the things you say and do.

[theguideless]

Im sorry

[stonefaith]

stop that.

[theguideless]

I dont know what else to say

[1/2]

[stonefaith]

Neither do I.

[2/2]

[stonefaith]

[ later ]

This is not what I meant to ask of you.

Are you ill?

[theguideless]

No
