I know this is kind of none of my business, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Nill. I know she's like, living with people and whatnot, but I mean like her past. Sometimes she tells me disturbing things and I wonder if she's really okay. But I don't know how to ask her...

What kind of things?

[osborncomplex]

I always thought she was really an angel, cause that's what a priest or bishop called her and hey, they would know, right? But today she said she got her wings from a scientist.

[meowminx]

Yeah, I remember she said something like that before.

[osborncomplex]

Do you remember anything else she said?

[iron_fister]

I'm one of the people that live with her and I agree I've heard some... disturbing things.

But, if I can ask. Why are you so eager to know?

[osborncomplex]

We're friends, I think. Except I've never talked to her outside the network. Uh. Does that make her like, an internet friend? Haha lame. No, but she's nice. Just concerning sometimes.

Perhaps I can be of assistance.

[osborncomplex]

Yeah? Has she talked to you about it or something?

[dogabuse]

We are from the same world.

[osborncomplex]

Oh! I didn't know there was anyone else. Did you — were you acquainted?

[bedeviledspider]

I'm a friend of hers. I haven't heard anything, except... well, maybe...

If you want, I could try asking.

[osborncomplex]

Sure. I'm just not sure how. I don't think she has the same idea of what "okay" means as most of the rest of us do. I always feel bad when I talk to her because half the time I have to like, lecture her about what Christmas is or whatever, so I don't want to be like, "Nill, this is what it means to be 'okay', blah blah blah."

Maybe...?

[bedeviledspider]

Well. You're doing your best to make sure you're not condescending to her. I think that counts for a lot. I get that feeling from her, too, though. That her "okay" is not our "okay". Although I'm not sure either of us is particularly qualified to judge "okay".

[ encrypted! ]

She told me about her wings, but I promised I wouldn't spill.

[osborncomplex]

Haha, good point.

[ encrypted! ]

Ah, no problem. I'll ask her myself the next time we talk.

Disturbing things?

voice;

[osborncomplex]

Hmm, well, they're disturbing to me, I guess they might not be disturbing to other people. I don't like the idea that she's been surgically modified for... some reason which seems to be primarily aesthetic. She's younger than me. Not that it would be okay if she were older, but maybe if she were older it would have been her decision, whereas I definitely did not get the sense that that was the case.

[reasontoexist]

I see. [lengthy pause.]

What will you do about it?

[osborncomplex]

Um... I don't know. The same thing I've been doing, I guess. Explaining stuff to her and... well, that's what I do, really.
