Getting to know you

Feb 01, 2009 04:43

First few days in Desai have so far been productive, if drab. How long has it been since I've had to bother with cashpoints? Makes me bloody nostalgic. So a little money, a little time at the casino. High-roller suite and enough to get me started on any little project I see fit. Nothing new, but it's a nice indulgence. Compared to what I went ( Read more... )

What use is that information to you?

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:56:45 UTC

Ooh, so protective! There's no harm in being inquisitive, is there?

Just watch and learn.

...

Watch and learn what, exactly? I've already seen you exploit individuals as well as entire races. Come find me when you've learned a knew trick.

Japan, shortly after the beginning of the twenty-first century. As for technology, human beings are still using cell phones and the internet, and have just started to switch to high-definition televisio.

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:13:45 UTC

Hn. Yes, that seems about correct.

So what brings you here, of all people? Young schoolboy like you, is this some kind of holiday?

notjohnsmith February 2 2009, 06:03:33 UTC

I'm not actually sure. I woke up one morning and here I was. Unfortunately this is not an unprecedented occurrence.

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 06:14:37 UTC

...Nice prank.

I'm from 1999!

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:17:54 UTC

You're a child. I don't care.

catalytics February 2 2009, 06:15:00 UTC

I'm not always eight. Everyone says I'm normally eighteen. So that means I'm really from sometime a lot later.

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 06:20:36 UTC

...At least you know about it.

Fine then, little girl, what's your story?

Um it was 2057 when I left home. People were more focused on surgeries then developing technology.

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:18:42 UTC

Surgeries? What could've changed, I wonder. Could you tell me a little more?

slavetogenetics February 2 2009, 05:27:00 UTC

There was an epidemic of organ failures, before I was born, and during it one company created a niche for itself providing financed organs for people. Afterwards surgeries became a cosmetic thing and almost everyone owes that company money. They practically rule the world.

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:37:44 UTC

How perfectly horrible. You mentioned cosmetic surgery... what sorts of changes do you mean? A little lift-and-tuck seems too simple in a world of rented organs.

I'm the Holy Roman Empire, 1805! Hmph.

doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:20:17 UTC

You're one of those human countries, then? Hm.

I preferred the original Roman Empire.

VOICE nichtdeinbff February 2 2009, 05:36:16 UTC

I am the Empire.

Original? No relation other than practice.

Re: VOICE doyouhearthem February 2 2009, 05:51:33 UTC

You're a boy girl? person. You can't be a bloody empire, don't be stupid.

Pity. That one was fun.
