Murder She Wrote

[if_she_hollers]

Like, me?  Murder?  Gosh, this is so totally exciting!  It's like some sort of mystery novel come to life.  I like, wonder who the real culprit is?  I can like, totally assure all of you that I have an airtight alibi.  I was totally asleep in bed all of last night and like, no one can prove otherwise.  Know like, what I think?  The real murderer's

Or is that what they want us to do also?

[if_she_hollers]

. . . How could it be what they want us to do? It'll be like, completely peaceful and not at all fear-inducing.

[hourai_branch]

Or use it as an excuse to cause more trouble.

[if_she_hollers]

I don't think I like, follow. What sort of trouble are you expecting?

[hourai_branch]

If we don't entertain them, they may do something worse.

[if_she_hollers]

My imagination might be like, a bit lacking, but I really can't think of anything worse short from killing us all. Actually, that's probably like, better.

[hourai_branch]

You would be surprised.

[if_she_hollers]

Like, humor me.

[hourai_branch]

Imagine being trapped in place while the world moves around you.

[if_she_hollers]

What, like an earthquake? There isn't much psychological horror in that.

[hourai_branch]

Like being a statue.

You can't move. You can't talk. You can only watch and listen as everything else moves. It's a fate worse than death; trust me.

[if_she_hollers]

Yeah. That's pretty bad. But it's not like, the kind of thing they do. You know what I mean? I think there's like, a cop term for it. Moldy apparatuses.

((Modus operandi))

[hourai_branch]

The point is that they wouldn't surprise me if they could.

[if_she_hollers]

I'm sure they totally could. If they can like, change the way we behave, they can totally change the way our bodies work.

[hourai_branch]

Exactly.
