There're people here who aren't supposed to be real.  Maybe they aren't.  I guess I've talked to people who weren't real before

Charming.

[is_the_walrus]

Hey, no offense meant.

You're probably as real as me.

[nogoldbikinis]

How many times must I explain the concept of my being real?

[is_the_walrus]

Got it the first time. You keep being real, and I'll keep wondering if I am.

[nogoldbikinis]

Are you solid?

[is_the_walrus]

Think so.

Things're solid in dreams, too.

[nogoldbikinis]

Have you tried pinching yourself?

[is_the_walrus]

Doesn't work. My fingers'd be as real or not real as the rest of me. If this is all made up, everything's as solid as everything else.

And pain and real aren't the same.

[nogoldbikinis]

You are entirely dedicated to believing none of this is real, aren't you?

[is_the_walrus]

No. Want you to prove me wrong.

[nogoldbikinis]

I cannot prove you wrong about something you are unwilling to stop believing in yourself.

[is_the_walrus]

Not unwilling, just unconvinced.

I need being real to make sense.

[nogoldbikinis]

There is little about this place that makes sense, as loathe as I am to admit it to you. Jell-O, for example. But you would do well to have a little faith in both yourself and the people around you.

[is_the_walrus]

Faith... sure.

Thanks, Leia.
