10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

[menial]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.



Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

So you really do have said memories yourself too, huh, Silverberg?

Must be interesting for a guy like you.

[mydearapple]

Don't flatter yourself. Even if I was into that, I don't think you'd be my type.

...........

Not ... what I meant. I just meant that it's probably weird for someone who's not usually like that to have memories of being like that.

[voice]

[mydearapple]

It's more than weird, but I've been here for far too long. Eventually, you learn to shut out the weirder memories.

[...which, you know, is totally easier when someone doesn't keep bringing them up!]

[voice]

[menial]

And they don't haunt you in your nightmares or anything.

[voice]

[mydearapple]

Maybe you should give it a try. I don't want to know if you've been having dreams about me, you know.

[voice]

[menial]

Well, we're all agreed on that, then.

['Geez. What a bizarre conversation...']
