Governments fall.
Whole civilizations turn to the streets in fear.
Word.
Counter word.
Image to dust.
Prisoners eaten by white hot ants.
There is no real reality.
Always create as many insoluble conflicts as possible and always aggravate existing conflicts.
Silence deployed.

Dark?

Hn.

You sound a little like Kadaj today. Or his mother.

[horus_neferti]

Tom Dark. The name of a friend. He died today, a long time ago.

[not_riku_thx]

Sort of an ironic name.

What does it all mean? Besides...destroying things.

[horus_neferti]

That's all that it means. There is nothing profound hidden in my words.
Back then, that was the goal. I was flakey and younger and content only to destroy things.

[not_riku_thx]

Does sound like Kadaj...maybe even like me, how I used to-

You had nobody worth protecting?

[horus_neferti]

No. I had some I wanted to protect. They rode with me. They understood that sometimes you must destroy everything to have a fresh new start. No contamination.

[not_riku_thx]

And you think that's what happened to Discedo?

[horus_neferti]

It's very possible. Although I think the re-building effort is completely inefficient. I would judge this attempt failure, personally, if that were the case.

[not_riku_thx]

Everything I've ever tried to make sense about, with these Scientists, with this place, just doesn't fit right...

Something else is going on here, and the more I try and think about it, the more the darkness feels stirred up all the time.

[horus_neferti]

I agree. Such failure is rather spectacular. Such failure is usually deliberate and manipulative.

Perhaps we should stir the darkness more. See what it does.

[not_riku_thx]

They're leaving themselves suspicious on purpose, just to mess with us more?

I...don't kno-

But I know someone out there tonight who deserves it.

[horus_neferti]

I believe so. Yes.

Are you afraid of the darkness? The darkness is not something to fear. But something to use when Light is not available.

There are many who deserve it.

When they took Namine away, the first time...back in March last- the last day of March. Last year.

They mocked me about it. Scientists. Said they ate her.

No. No, I've never been afraid. I've just learned how to be wiser with it, and keep it closed tight so that it won't hurt my friends, just because I get angry.

Well right now it's the person with a deathwish who cut up my housemates.

[horus_neferti]

Did they eat her? That is often what they do, you know. Eat your flesh, eat your mind, eat your soul. Likely it was you, they were trying to eat. What did they want from you, your pain?

I get angry too. Everyone who is alive does. But letting them control you through anger... can be deadly. Can cost you your life, or worse, your dreams.

Demand Equal payment and teach them never to do it again.

[not_riku_thx]

Well obviously not, she's back. She has no memories of it then. Maybe that's what they eat.

To laugh? To make me feel helpless, and useless to her, and angry. I don't listen to them anymore. It's all lies anyway. Did you get that stupid chip out yet?

I plan on taking double from them. At least.

[horus_neferti]

Memory is the 6th part of the soul. If they are eating memories they are parasites of not just the mind but soul. Worrisome.

I am still crippled, unfortunately. I will not submit to their judgement.

I understand your anger, and use it, but be careful. You may only take equal pleasure from their suffering. To take more will turn you into a vampire.
