xlvi - further treatises on egyptian rivers

[darknessb4me]

We've all been different people during floods. Next you're going to suggest we all look deeply into the significance of who we were the time the boat turned into a recreational children's camp.

It wasn't me. As far as I'm concerned, the matter is closed.

[Private to David.]

How are you?

[There's a pause, before Tirion finally speaks. He's sounds very tired, and upset.]

... I'm sorry.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

Why?

Fordring, I don't want or expect an apology for something you did when you weren't yourself. Get over it.

[Private]

[bybloodandhonor]

Because I have the memories. Because I could have been him. I'm... glad I'm not, but I could have been.

Because I want to apologize.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

But you're not. Anything else is immaterial.

You do whatever you want.

[darknessb4me]

Have one on my behalf.

[darknessb4me]

Wish I could. It's about as effective as water when you don't have a working bloodstream.

This place would probably drive me to be a raging alcoholic, though, so it might be for the best.

[buywithme]

I agree entirely. I hate it when people act like you're a completely different person when a flood forces you to act that way. It's stupid and pointless and no one gains anything from it.

[darknessb4me]

It's bad enough being denied your own identity.

[buywithme]

Yes! And then everyone acts like that other you is lurking inside you somewhere, and-- when you're an inmate, they all try to congratulate you for it!

[darknessb4me]

How can you stand staying here?

[Private]

I'm serious about this. I'd rather be dead than stay somewhere where I didn't know if I'd be the same person tomorrow. Everything else is already gone. I need to keep myself.

Strikes posted and deleted. SOMEONE IS NOT COPING WELL.

You said no one would get hurt.

[sixthanimorph]

I'm all right.

[And out of Zero, from the looks of it.]

... I want to ask you a question, though. About the flood. Is it okay if we meet somewhere?

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

No filters? Alright, how about the library? Low chance of foot traffic.

[Private - Spam?]

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah, the library sounds good. I'll be there in five minutes.

Spam - way to deliver this notif a bunch of days late lj

[Arthas is lurking when David arrives, leaning against a shelf towards the front and staring at the open pages of a book without actually reading it. Reading tends to make him impatient.]
