[Mal is basically using her communicator like a Dictaphone, thinking out loud at it while she paces. If you listen carefully you can hear her moving about, and occasionally you might hear a soft clink of metal on metal-the sound of her playing with her totemSo that is a "breach", then? I am not sure that I like it any better or worse than the other ( Read more... )

I... think most people would be. To have another person's life in your hands.

And that was a far better story than the one the man I was had invented in his head.

Sorry about that, by the way.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 15:12:03 UTC

[Mal actually laughs at that-kindly, though; she's not making fun of Eddie.]

It's all right. She was horrified and really quite upset, but I-well, let us simply say that I can see a certain amount of humour in it.

What is your name when you're your rightful self?

needshumility May 23 2011, 15:22:49 UTC

He was just... very desperate for a story, I think, and asked a lot of questions, but never the right ones.

Same as before, Eddie Russett. And yours?

cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:23:35 UTC

Mal. It's nice to meet you, Eddie.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely still haunted by the memories I had as this other person. For him the West was a symbolic - and literal - escape.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:24:56 UTC

Escape from what? If you do not mind my asking, that is.

notiaraincluded May 23 2011, 16:33:28 UTC

Slavery...though, it had finally been stopped by this point, the man I was still lived through it.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:34:45 UTC

Oh.

Yes, I see that the frontier would be preferable, in that case.

Yes. I am haunted by D. I wish he would go away.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:32:31 UTC

There was nothing of value for you in the experience, I take it.

feels_no_love May 23 2011, 16:36:52 UTC

I...

...didn't say that.

I merely had a first taste of emotions I would rather have not experienced.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:38:00 UTC

I see. I apologise; I didn't mean to misinterpret.

Aye, you can, as long as you keep your totem with you. [pause] As well as promise not to jump.

Re: Private cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:23:06 UTC

I am never without it these days. And believe me, jumping holds no appeal for me now.

Thank you.

Re: Private naughtbutlife May 23 2011, 16:29:36 UTC

I assumed as much. I will make the request immediately.

May I answer the question you posed to the Barge populace, or would you rather not hear from your warden?

Re: Private cauchemal May 23 2011, 16:33:13 UTC

It's your choice. It was-well, not an idle question, really, but it's open to all.

I think a lot of people are haunted by the similarities in their own lives. It would be a whole lot easier to understand if the Admiral could tell us what exactly happened.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 18:25:21 UTC

He doesn't seem forthcoming with explanations, does he?

gingerspeedster May 23 2011, 18:27:15 UTC

Or warnings. At least he usually tells us when there's a flood.

cauchemal May 23 2011, 19:17:10 UTC

Have you experienced one of these before?
