[There's a very careful silence, just the sound of footsteps, and then silence again]

Mother, this isn't funny.

[There's a scraping sound, and scrabbling, and quiet again]

I know you've watched over me all this time but...can't you please...[A long pause]

M-?

[There's the sound of a train pulling into the station, then pulling out again]Why

She wouldn't. The only people laughing are the deities.

[playstheblues]

I haven't heard from her...or seen her in so long...

audio;

[adamantined]

That's a common theme running around today. I haven't seen mine in a long time either, but she's still here, asking me to do pretty much the same thing.

So... make it so the joke's on them. Don't listen. Hum or something. Play your trumpet.

[playstheblues]

This is just...a curse.

[adamantined]

Do you actually see her? Have you found her? If she was here, don't you think you would've by now?

audio;

[playstheblues]

Sometimes she used to talk to me without me seeing her.

audio;

[adamantined]

Did she ever tell you to jump in front of train?

audio;

[playstheblues]

Only if you consider joining an army like jumping in front of a train.

audio;

[adamantined]

She told you to?

audio;

[playstheblues]

Yes. She told me to join the army. That she would protect me, if I did.

audio;

[adamantined]

I don't think you should count circumstances like that, things that happened at home, as a way to... I don't know, justify what she's supposedly telling you to do here.

audio;

[playstheblues]

It feels odd, to not do what she tells me to.

audio;

[adamantined]

It would feel a lot odder getting hit by a train.

audio;

[playstheblues]

I...I suppose, you're right.

audio;

[adamantined]

Why did she tell you to join the army?

audio;

[playstheblues]

Because that's where my fortune lay. Because she's never favored the meek.
