[The wall unit flicks on as Alice walks past it, hands in the pockets of her long coat, her hood pulled up over her head. She pauses just as she's moving out of frame and takes a step back, turning her head to look at the camera with vague curiosity.]

A motion sensor...? [She steps closer, peering at the unit and talking more or less to herself.]

A world with no people, is that where you're from?

[lingeringmedusa]

Sometimes. But no people is too few and any people are too many.

[youwillbe_mist]

Oya? That's a little unfair. So...'person' then, rather than people? That would be more acceptable?

[lingeringmedusa]

It would depend on the person.

[youwillbe_mist]

Does it really? As long as you find someone you could make them be whoever you want.

So I've heard.

[lingeringmedusa]

Again, that would depend on the person.

You don't seem like that type.

[youwillbe_mist]

I'm not because there is no reason for me to be so. Is it safe to say that you're the same?

[lingeringmedusa]

I am.

Being around so many people will take getting used to. But hopefully it will be entertaining.

[youwillbe_mist]

Kufufu...

How interesting, your optimism. I think I'll have to ask you later how it went.

[lingeringmedusa]

Don't mistake it for optimism. It just seems statistically unlikely for there to be this number of people around and nothing interesting happening at any given time.

[youwillbe_mist]

I think your statistics is just another way to say faith in people. That classifies as optimism.

[lingeringmedusa]

You take words very seriously don't you?

[youwillbe_mist]

kufufu~

Not really.

[lingeringmedusa]

It seems that way.

[youwillbe_mist]

I think it's much more likely that's what you're wanting to believe.

[lingeringmedusa]

The boundary between thought and reality isn't as well defined as most people think.
