[Quorra's voice is quiet, unusually subdued when it sounds through the Forge.] Why do the hate us so much? We're not monsters just because we're different. We don't mean them any harm.

...Most of us, at least.

[She's not even sure she should be saying us in the first place. She's yet to meet any other programs from the Grid, and she's still the ( Read more... )

[For a moment, this broadcast...stuns him silent. So much of this, he relates to. This from the person who spoke of cucumber sandwiches and socializing, and then Grids and Users and all sorts of terms he didn't understand or bother to try to.]

...Sometimes, being different is all it takes.

[She likes to think that her horizons have expanded more than a little, but times like these...bring up bad memories. Bad memories she thought she'd made peace with.

It looks like she was wrong.]

I only wish that wasn't the case.

[Right there with you, only he never had any illusions about making peace with them. Those memories are still ones he struggles with all the time, despite the relative comfort and stability Anatole has given him. Another stretch of silence.]

It would be nice. Especially if wishing alone could make it so.

That seems to be beyond the powers of the Scorched, however malignant and multitudinous they may be. [Bitter about the flyers? Quorra? Never. Except she totally is.]

Voice lonestray July 9 2011, 19:36:30 UTC

...It would seem so.

[Scar doesn't really...know how to respond to that. Bitterness he understands, only too well, but she seems to have...the expectation of something better. Life experience has long since stolen that expectation from him.]

[There's a moment of silence, and then Quorra sighs.]

Well. Nobody's perfect.

Voice lonestray July 11 2011, 02:42:24 UTC

Hn. I suppose.

Voice isoalgorithm July 11 2011, 03:57:40 UTC

[Another stretch of silence. When Quorra speaks again, her voice is quiet.] What do you think will happen to us all?

Voice lonestray July 11 2011, 04:03:42 UTC

...I don't think you really want to hear my answer to that.

[A few seconds of silence, and before he sounds too foreboding, he adds:]

Because I don't actually have one. Only what I'm afraid will happen.

Voice isoalgorithm July 11 2011, 05:49:38 UTC

That's about what I expected. [And she doesn't sound happy about it.]

Voice lonestray July 11 2011, 06:06:40 UTC

I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Voice isoalgorithm July 11 2011, 07:06:42 UTC

Waiting is sometimes the hardest part. [This, she knows from experience.]

Voice lonestray July 11 2011, 07:38:53 UTC

It can be. But there's not much that can be done about it.
