Comments

[ ... ]

yeah, a few of them.

Whether I have something to live for or not, I can't self-terminate. Both because it's not in my nature, and because if I try it and succeed, you're going to have far more of a problem on your hands than I could ever be on my own. The virus will ensure that much.

So if I act, it's going to be because I'm playing to win. Regardless of the reason I decided to do so.

[transmittable]

[ There is a slight pause. Not too significant of one. ]

that's surprisingly good to know.

thanks for the reassurance, undying.

[enhancements]

Do you want me to tell you if I come to a decision?

I imagine you'll see it either way, but just as a matter of courtesy.

[transmittable]

naw. that's what nachetanya did, so. i'm a little over that.

[enhancements]

If you say so.

[transmittable]

appreciate the offer though. really.

[enhancements]

It seemed only fair.

You didn't have to talk to me about any of this, after all.

[transmittable]

it's natural. you guys can't talk about a lot of the stuff you talk about to anyone else.

so, i'm the void you scream into.

[enhancements]

I don't think that's all it is, necessarily. At least not for a fair amount of the others.

[transmittable]

yeah. nachetanya said something like that too.

[enhancements]

Nachetanya said a lot of things. What she ended up being in the end doesn't discredit all of them.

Unless you believe that Ryoji is just shouting into the void at you...?

[transmittable]

oh, god no. i know he's not.

sorry, guess i'm just being even more cynical than usual. me bringing up nachetanya by the way, that doesn't mean i'm dismissing everything she said to me. on the contrary, i'm considering a lot. guess just thinking about her makes things a little melancholy, though.

[enhancements]

When did she stop being 'Assertive' and start being 'Nachetanya', by the way?

[transmittable]

a week before she died.

[enhancements]

How many of us have the privilege of names by now?

[transmittable]

counting her, just three regularly. a few slip-ups otherwise.

some of you keep tempting me.

[enhancements]

I know better than to assume that I'm one of them, on any level.

But just for the sake of reference, I prefer the use of titles, as far as you and I are concerned.

[transmittable]

why's that?

[enhancements]

...I prefer the distance it establishes. It's too familiar otherwise.

[transmittable]

alright. i'll remember that. undying only for you.

it's almost a little funny, the reason everyone else dislikes the titles is why you like them.

[enhancements]

It's likewise the reason I don't ask you questions about yourself. I imagine it's none of my business, and we're not close enough to warrant it.

[transmittable]

huh. not even for intel or whatever? i know that's why some of the others do, not that i could blame them.

[enhancements]

Please. Anything that I ask will either receive "I can't tell you that" or an answer that's been pre-approved by the Risen, which is going to be useless for intel purposes. I'm not interested in trying to win you over and getting you to slip up, either, because you would be an idiot if you hadn't planned for exactly that.

[transmittable]

i think you give me a liiiittle more credit than i deserve buddy...

but i appreciate it, i think. it does get a little exhausting shutting down questions, for both sides i bet.
