[Galadriel;]

If you aren't otherwise occupied, could I convince you to humor me for a while? I promise I'm in a much better mood than I was last time.



[Lucrezia;]

I was in a very poor mood the last time we spoke. I'd like to make it up to you.

Would you like to go out for coffee sometime?



[Faye;]

Yo, haven't seen you around in a while. Want to go get drinks or something?



[Public;]

[written in his girly neat handwriting.]

I think it's telling when the the bizarre and the absurd start to feel like any other day around here.

Perhaps soon it will feel like the powers-that-be are just trying too hard.

Dictated

[i_got_this]

Yeah, I haven't quite gotten to that point yet, but I want to change my answer from your poll. [Stop the castle, she wants off. :| ]

Dictated

[exanimatus]

[he'll dictate back, yeah. less weird than writing for this conversation.]

Oh yeah? What's changed your mind?

Dictated forever!

[i_got_this]

The people here are dickwads.

Actually, I don't now if I want to go home either. Is there somewhere else? Could I go to someone else's world? Not that I've found any that aren't equally fucked up.

All of the dictation forever!

[exanimatus]

Succinct.

I'm afraid no one's found an easy way to middle ground, yet. You're stuck with it until it kicks you out.

[cheerupemoborg]

So the weird becomes normal, and normal becomes weird?

[exanimatus]

With that kind of reasoning, maybe it'll eventually balance itself back out.

But I'll bet money that if there were ever a string of months where nothing in particular happened around here, people would start getting paranoid and anxious. "Normalcy" is just too uncommon.

[cheerupemoborg]

I don't think it could keep it's hand off it's precious entertainment for that long.

Zelman

[inafadingcrown]

I might be convinced. What did you have in mind?

Galadriel

[exanimatus]

Nothing dramatic. I'd just like some interesting conversation.

Though I am interested in hearing more about your world, if you need a particular.

Zelman

[inafadingcrown]

And of what would you have me tell? I have a great many tales.

[ino]

I'm pretty sure we passed the "trying too hard" part awhile back.

[exanimatus]

[oh... goodness, he hasn't spoken with you in a while. or written, in this particular case.]

Maybe I just have an unusually strong grounding in "normal" reality. I couldn't tell you.

But where would you say that turned?

[ino]

[indeed! but she sympathizes hard with what he's talking about, so ... meh, why not. even if she doesn't like you very much, she knows they have some things in common]

I'd say when people were getting brainwashed into living in town was probably the beginning of the "I'm desperate, please love me" saga.

Zelman

[luckyvalentine]

[well hey, what's this? oh, a welcome distraction. that's what it is.]

I thought you didn't drink.

[though she can't quite remember where she got that impression from. huh.]

Faye

[exanimatus]

I'll drink when the mood strikes me. And I just happen to be in the mood.

[so what'll it be, Faye? huh? huh~?]

Zelman

[luckyvalentine]

[after running the idea through her brain (briefly) she decides that yes this sounds exactly like something she's looking for right now]

What a coincidence. I think I'm in the same mood.

[dictated]

[thehistorian]

I can't tell anymore if I want to hit the stage where all this is normal, or if I want to desperately cling to what bits of sanity I have left that let me know how insane this place is.

[written]

[exanimatus]

Giving up is usually a great deal less stressful, I'll give it that.

But I already kind of miss having normal standards to gauge things with. It's give and take.

[thehistorian]

I suppose I'll just have to see which path I end up taking, then, since I don't fancy either option at the moment.

dictated. hay baby haaay..

[tending]

[ ah, the magical words that no newbie wants to hear. she might have meant to just talk to herself, but the journal picks it up regardless! ]

I thought it seemed so pleasant..

written. hey there cutie. C:

[exanimatus]

Are you new?

[tending]

Y-yes, I am! This is my second day here.

Zelman

[heloise]

[ She tries, really she does, to remember any emotional wound he may have caused her in their last conversation. And fails. ]

There is no need for recompense, though I would never refuse time spent with a friend.

Lucrezia

[exanimatus]

[oh, sweetie. you'd let him get away with murder.]

Oh? Then I won't push it further. Are you otherwise occupied tomorrow morning?

Zelman

[heloise]

[ Murder isn't even among the sins only the pope can forgive, so you're good, Zelman. ]

Not too occupied for a cup of coffee, or two.
