Have you known such a savoury grief as I

[cauchemal]

Arthur? Are you feeling well?

Private

[paradoxlol]

[A pregnant pause. Real or projection? Mal's dead, remember.]

I'm fine. Just had that poem stuck in my head.

Private

[cauchemal]

[Oblivious, pleasant, maternal Mal is oblivious to the implications of that pause.]

Arthur. One doesn't "just" get things like Baudelaire stuck in one's head.

What's the matter?

Private

[paradoxlol]

It's important to me. I never forget what's important.

Nothing's wrong.

[batmanschmatman]

Everything okay, buddy? [Which is sort of being asked in a "Are you high?" :| tone.]

[paradoxlol]

[Distracted:] Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

[Pause, then he resumes in a lighter voice sounding more like Invasionverse Arthur.] I didn't think a little bit of poetry was cause for concern. Bring up too many bad memories of college?

[batmanschmatman]

No, you just seem a little out of it.

[paradoxlol]

I didn't sleep well.

Private; well, this is slightly weird. Where has party Arthur gone? :|

[hatestriangles]

French poetry, huh?

Private; party Arthur got drunk and passed out :c

[paradoxlol]

Yeah. I studied it in school.

Private; oh party Arthur, you so wild.

[hatestriangles]

Yeah? Jeez. I could never even get my head around that stuff in English, man.

So what's it mean?

Private;

[paradoxlol]

[I suck at poetry so this could be all wrong.]

It's about truth. Reality.

[paradoxlol]

No. I'm not missing anything.

[paradoxlol]

I'm not lying. I'm not the one missing memories here.

Private

[ourlastbesthope]

[Concerned:] Arthur.

What's happened?

Private

[paradoxlol]

I'm not who you think. I'm sorry.

[For incepting you, Fischer :V]

Private

[ourlastbesthope]

Why are you apologizing to me?

Private

[paradoxlol]

You're never supposed to get too close. It complicates things. This place made me forget that.
