The Fourth Death: The Long Goodbye

[Susan has set herself up in a fine, if bare, room of the chateau, a fire in the fireplace illuminating the room, for this goodbye video post.]

Home, what a relief. No more blizzards and strange voices--other than the ones I'm used to, that is. And to be able to be properly myself again, instead of so infuriatingly nearly normal.

They get new toys all the time. There's a part of me that suspects "social experiment." I think the Animus like to keep all their toys in one box for as long as they can, add new ones when they can find them, and just jumble them up occasionally to watch how we squirm and resettle. They change the heads on the dolls, dress them up in different things, screw with their voiceboxes, blow them up...

Maybe in the thirty-two hours from now, we'll wake up and think we're home, when home is in fact just another new fabrication they've placed us in--like a new dollhouse where they can peer in the windows and watch the goings on.

And then, when the week's up, they'll put us all back in this toybox, because it's easier to watch us all when we're in one place.

...We'll see, though.

Yes, but as capricious five-year-olds are wont to do, they may have decided they simply aren't amused with the old ones anymore. Emptying out the toy box in a ploy to get new ones.

The Animus may be powerful, but that's simply no reason to lose our heads over this whole situation in a blind panic.

We shall see. I, for one, will be glad to be back, even in Ankh-Morpork.

And I have hardly had chance to hear of your world. I do not believe I am entirely ready to return.

I would hardly know where to begin. Sometimes I myself encounter things, or people, that seem just like home, initially, and then turn out very different indeed.

There are a few here who had geography similar to that of my own world, but their histories differed greatly. The variation, the stories. I will miss them, if we are to go.
