Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[give him. a minute.]

dan heng: Because you care about him.
dan heng: And you upset him.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

Imbibitor Lunae: Those are both true
Imbibitor Lunae: But why should I apologize for that
Imbibitor Lunae: He should be used to it

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

dan heng: No, he shouldn't.
dan heng: And he shouldn't get used to it.
dan heng: He isn't the Jing Yuan you tormented.
dan heng: You should get used to showing him some shred of respect.

[his phone rings]

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

[He picks up immediately.]

Dan Heng. [He sounds as distraught and deranged as his texting.] Dan Heng. I can't. [He inhales, breath rattling.]

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

I'm here. Breathe.

[voice low and even, not conveying his own tension.]

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

[Ragged breathing noises.]

Tell me something. Anything. I need to stop thinking.

[a little hum, and he starts talking.]

I've begun keeping my own records here. On the Express, I manage the data bank, you see. It's the kind of work I took up to make myself useful when fleeing Blade.

There are the community efforts to keep records in place, of course, and I'm not so people-minded that I'm willing to coordinate, though I am making an effort to keep a backup of their work just in case. My own, though, I've been continuing in my notebook from home.

[He lets the words wash over him, curling up at the foot of his bed.]

What is the most interesting so far, that you have found?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

I'm intrigued by the manner through which new things are introduced to our confinement. We aren't under a curfew, and so theoretically we are, collectively, present to notice such things being installed, but things like, say, the snowmen, or those energy drinks nonetheless manage to appear. It isn't as though they can go through the usual shipping channels or anything, either.

[eggshell]

Magic, perhaps. Time dilation technology. It would take very advanced means to seal all of our abilities, varied as they are.

[He hums, his breathing slowing.] You have a calming voice.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

I did consider something like that. It is possible, given what you mentioned, that we are simply compelled away from areas being changed, as well.

I'm glad I'm able to help.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

I would not have blamed you if you just ignored me. Thank you.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

You're trying. I will support you how I can, when you are trying.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

You are not the first to do this. You will not be the last. It is useless.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

It is not. Temporary relief is still relief, and time I can spend with you.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

You want to...?

[brain dial up noises]

Huh?
