9th Pesterlog // What Dreams May... [Accidental Video/Text]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[Rose is lying asleep in one of the safe zones at Konami VI. The comforts are very meager, with a few spare munitions and threadbare blanket that seems like it's been used a hundred times too often. The young girl is resting her head on a med pack for a pillow, one of the few clean things in the entire bunker. Her sleep doesn't look very restful

[Aya missed the audio, but got the text.]

I would need to fully believe in destiny, first. [He had this conversation a while back, and even before he came to Thor.]

[text]

[kendonobara]

I don't necessarily trust myself, so I don't think it would be easier with others involved.

[text]

[maid_of_fthulu]

I suppose that may be true.
I guess I just feel rather miserable and wouldn't mind hearing a few extra persons of like circumstances.

[kendonobara]

It depends on your circumstances.

Let's just assume they're pretty bad in what may be relinquishing my sanity before my complete and utter annihilation.

[text]

[kendonobara]

...I see. [The latter sounds more familiar than the beginning for Aya.] It's best to eliminate what's eating away at your sanity.

[maid_of_fthulu]

That was a joke.

[kendonobara]

[He sucks at jokes.]

...oh. Sorry.

[Don't worry, she jokes about things that she shouldn't joke about.]

It's alright.
I will just expect you to flog yourself adequately after this transgression.
Do what you feel is suitably punitive for your transgression.
I would recommend hot irons, but that is a bit hard to find on a space station.

[kendonobara]

No, they're not.

[Pretty sure one could find them in a weapon shop, or even the seedier areas of the ship.

[text]

[maid_of_fthulu]

Ah.
Well, then.

[actually feels a little uncomfortable about this, but is wondering if you'll actually go through with it]

[text]

[kendonobara]

[She started it.]

I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: [text]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[That was the answer she'd like to hear.]

Please do. And record the process for posterity.
Remember, this is for benefit of everybody, so try to be honest.

If you don't mind, I'd like to return to a point you made.
You said you don't trust yourself.
Why is that?
Do you find that being purposely deceptive toward yourself very productive?

[kendonobara]

With the way the guide likes to have a mind of its own, that shouldn't be hard.

Humans aren't really perfect. [Aside from having a different personality.]

[text]

[maid_of_fthulu]

Ah yes, it does have a mind of it's own for our public embarrassment.

That may be, but that has ever stopped us before.

[text]

[kendonobara]

Hence my point.
