Interesting.

Exactly how public is public, I wonder?

'Public enough', seems like. Just about anyone can fool around with these things, so keep that in mind.

'course, I've never had one of these things before, so I dunno all of the ins and outs yet.

[hojo_hakase]

I'll do that. It's at least not entirely unfamiliar to me; the technology is different, but it's somewhat similar to a PHS.

You're that fellow from the labroom, aren't you?

[14thsummoner]

A PHS? Haven't heard of it. But if you're familiar with one of these things, then you're a step ahead of me.

And yeah, I was the guy with the black hat and cape. Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th.

Professor Hojo.

Your contribution and compliance at the time of the incident is appreciated.

I'm glad you responded to this, in fact. I hoped you would. I think we have some things to discuss in the near future; I'd prefer not to elucidate them publicly, since I'm sure you're also aware of what they are.

[endless_mania]

That's a really good question, you know. How public is public. No one else seems to think about these things. Public I think can be pretty public, but there's really no proof that it is because people hide so much in their heads, and it all wriggles around and around like little bugsthat crawl over your skin and drown you in the gunky stuff in people's eyes. Do you know the name of that?

[hojo_hakase]

Mucopurulent mattering in the punctum.

Do you originate from this place or are you simply insane?

[endless_mania]

Really? I always thought it was humourous virtue. Or something.

Thank you for answering! I like you! I have to answer you back now, you see, because if I didn't it would maybe make you sad.

No, I don't originate here. I originate everywhere. Um, everywhere where people need me, that is. A lot of things originate everywhere, except in my big brother's garden, because that is just a map of everything that ever had a beginning only not because there are paths outside his garden. But beginnings can't begin in a beginning, can they?

[hojo_hakase]

I referred only to the eye discharge segment of the sensation. The rest, I am not familiar with.

I wouldn't be too concerned about that, if I were you.

I see no reason that beginnings couldn't begin in a beginning. There's no better place for them.

Who are you? You seem oddly familiar. An old failed experiment, perhaps.

If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one to hear it, does it make a sound?

[hojo_hakase]

Not if you believe the universe revolves around you.

[tsuki_no_noroi]

And so! If you make a public post, and there is no public to read it, does it count as public?

[hojo_hakase]

If I exist to make the post, it means that I am the public.

So yes.
