[HELP. she - laughs, actually, rubbing her face a bit.]

Well. At least I know it's really you. [a pause.] I refused to die. But I suppose to do so isn't so bad, here.

[egodist]

The news got even the Fish Prince to vent to me. It was rather amusing. You're well-liked.

[truly the vibes got so bad when sora named her target. funny.]

Even so, don't be in a rush to join us. That would be an entirely different commotion.

[naeddre]

[there is a like... a kind of wobbly look on her face at that first part, but she straightens it out because she remembers how to act around him.]

I promised I'd stay alive. [she says, soft.] So... I can't. I can't join you, for as much as I miss all of you.

Someone has to find a way to help you.

[ . . . he reaches his hand up and taps the center of her forehead]

I don't care to experience emotions, myself.

But it doesn't mean I don't understand that other people have them. You don't need to steel yourself for my sake.

[naeddre]

[takes the forehead tap with a little nose wrinkle.]

... No, I'm alright. [...] I didn't think there would be that much of a reaction to it.

[throné like who would be upset about this other than temenos because she sucks]

[egodist]

Then re-evaluate your relationships.

[thanks scien. so gentle as always]

Care is rarely so blatantly one-sided.

[naeddre]

[snort. she rubs at her face.]

Fair enough. [...] I know that you will, but keep an eye on her. I don't want her to ruin things for the rest of you, wherever you are.

[egodist]

Well, we did a test recently that let us know that we are made of memory because I got absorbed into my own machine.

So if need be, we will simply put her in there.

[HELP]

[naeddre]

[YOU WHAT SDKFSK]

You... [ok] Your own machine?

[egodist]

Yes. There really are a lot of labs.

[naeddre]

I see.

[she does not]

So it's just... the memory of you, but you can still retain further memory? You remember everything since you've... died?

[egodist]

So far, yes. Though more tests still need to be done. There's plenty that we have trouble explaining where we are.

[naeddre]

You've sent us letters that have been blacked out, often. All I've been able to hear is something about flowers.

[egodist]

It's a start. Try hydroponics. There's—

[egodist]

[and he blips out of existence bye]

[naeddre]

[HELP NO COME BACK]

-- Scien? [): is he gone forever...]

[egodist]

[he blips back in and he's still talking as if he never disappeared]

—I've never had so many inane conversations in my life.

[naeddre]

[a beat. she looks. amused by this.]

Well, you certainly have an interesting group of people with you for that to be possible. [...] I heard next to nothing of what you just said.

[egodist]

Oh.

[ . . . ]

I wasn't talking about them. The ones you're thinking of.

[naeddre]

[a pause.]

Oh, you mean the previous crew. [...] Or the rats. I hope you don't mean the rats.

[egodist]

I ignore the rats.

[so yea the former]

[naeddre]

Wise of you.

I suppose I can't ask you if the previous crew has anything interesting to say. Please don't explode into opera like Dahut.
