Voice Chat: Uninterested

[egyptianmage]

How childish. Is this how people show their love for a person? Yelling and screaming? Such foolish children. One moment a person whines how they don't want to be here and need to be back home, the next moment they're screaming like a baby if their favorite person is taken away

They're friends. 'Course people are gonna be sad to lose 'em. Don't make no sense to expect otherwise.

[egyptianmage]

That must be nice to have friends. But I fail to see why a person should scream. No one screamed when I died. No one even remembers me. But I am not trying to destroy the compound over it.

[machines_talk]

You got friends.

Well, if you're lucky, you won't never have to understand why people feel that way.

[egyptianmage]

I threw my life away for my Pharaoh Lady Kaylee. For three thousand years I believed my path to be the right one. Then I woke up here and I have found it wasn't. I look around me now, out of place, out of time, and with a meaningless act forever cutting me off from the people around me.

I will forever be a slave, and no one weeps for the loss of a slave.

[machines_talk]

That ain't so at all. There's people here who care for you.

[egyptianmage]

Two for being me. One for a keepsake of his lover.

[machines_talk]

More'n that, I'd wager.

The people here ain't the ones you knew, most of us. Us bein' upset 'cause our friends are gone, some of 'em back to worse places even than here...that ain't sayin' those people are more important. Just that them bein' taken away's what's hurtin' us now.

[egyptianmage]

Ha, that is a wager you would lose Lady Kaylee.

I am aware of that, and for those who go back to a worse situation then this, I have no qualms. But this undo ruckus for every person is unreasonable. Not 'everyone' comes from a reality on the brink of destruction. Even I can tell that.

[machines_talk]

Name your forfeit, an' we'll give it a shot.

You can't know where they're from. Don't need to be on the brink of destruction to be awful. Persephone's world is, an' now she's stuck there. An' there's not a gorram thing we can do to help.

Not to mention, there's been people lost before. Might be again, 'specially now the Entropi are in charge an' not the Warden.

[egyptianmage]

I have nothing to wager. I am a slave with no possessions to call my own.

*Sighs* Very well, if you're going to insist that everyone should act like a child then so be it. I will not argue with you.

[machines_talk]

Didn't never say it had to be a thing.

...You don't want people to care, do you?

I'm not sayin' the people goin' 'round breakin' things are right to be doin' it. Mighta noticed I ain't. But it ain't right to act like they're wrong for bein' upset, neither. For cryin', or yellin' about it, or just bein' hurt.

[egyptianmage]

The only ones who cared... Ed cares, you care.

It would be nice if people cared... But I'm not going to beg people to pity me. If they don't wish to notice me then so be it.

[machines_talk]

That boy seems to care, the one you're always talkin' to.

...It's not the same thing.

[egyptianmage]

I'm his keep sake. His lover was the Pharaoh I served.

[machines_talk]

...Why would you think that?

[egyptianmage]

Because if not for the Pharaoh he would not be interested in me at all. I'm just a reminder of the Pharaoh because I was considered the Pharaoh's signature monster... It's... *Sighs and tries to think of a way to explain* In the world that he and I come from, I was depicted and placed within a game. That game is the only thing that he knows of me from. Even then only because the Pharaoh picked me as his core monster at the time.
