[Some of you may recognize the accent. Omai! The voice is calm, collected. But clipped.]

I have read the letter.

Now when will I hear the truth, hm?

[ For half a moment, Bryn recognizes that accent and she thinks maybe Nick has come back. After all, he came back from the dead, surely he could come back from his disappearance as well?

Of course she quickly realizes that it isn't Nick and she sighs with disappointment. ]

Why do you think we have not been told the truth?

[but_why_u_mad]

Why should I believe them? Because they say it is the truth?

[brynkitten]

I just...wondered if there was something in particular that made you think perhaps they were lying...

[but_why_u_mad]

[Wow this chick sounds kind of...naive.]

Mon amour, even half truths are whole lies.

[blackantiquas]

We have given you naught but the truth. Would you prefer that we lie?

Audio

[but_why_u_mad]

Ah, so I am to just take your word for it then?

Audio

[blackantiquas]

What proof could we offer? What proof would you take?

Audio

[but_why_u_mad]

Hm. Something aside from your word should suffice.

[Now he sounds almost cheerful!]

You are a smart niño. [You'll figure it out.]

Mon, I lived through this twice. It's the truth.

[My my. That's interesting. What he just read isn't what he just heard. That's interesting indeed. DOES THIS MEAN HE CAN SPEAK HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE? HECK YEAH IT DOES.]

Thank you. I do not think I would have lived without that information

[Sarcasm get.]

[Light laugh.]

I have my own methods of learning.

*Lololol*

Man, you guys are so skeptical.

[but_why_u_mad]

[lolol Sollux, the things he calls you are better left untranslated.]

Is there a reason you are speaking to me?

Re: Audio

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Too bad the book translates them anyway. Sollux just snickers again*

I've got nothing better to do.

Find something.

[And click. He's done. You've been officially penned onto his ignore list.]

[kptn_sparrow]

From my own meager understanding, mate-

[Now this is advice from the captain, you hear!]

you won't. We won't. Hear the truth, that is. I've already attempted to get the attentions of yon-high lordness, as have others, and it completely falls flat.

We're outta luck.

[but_why_u_mad]

[And who the hell is this clown?]

Good to know.

[kptn_sparrow]

[He's your very bestest drinking buddy!]

There are things mate, that lend some credence to the story as it's told. Take a gander. There's quite the trove in the book and a wealth of it outside.

Far be it me to tell you how to think though.

[but_why_u_mad]

[HA THE JOKE'S ON YOU. Mads doesn't drink.]

I will...take a gander...as you say.

[Who the hell talks like that?]
