---n't believe I slept in again... [Soft rustling of bed sheets.] What a way to begin the w...

...what...

[A high-pitched scream. The sound of covers being violently flung aside. Then a loud, dry blow, like something hard being hit, followed by the thud of the communicator being knocked onto the floor and running footsteps.]

Umi?

UMI! Calm down, Umi! It's those curse days, it's not your fault!

[soulofocean]

That's... just the kind of trust I'd expect from a friend like you. I really shouldn't have worried about it.

[revengeisalie]

Ah, uhm... thanks? It's nothing.

[soulofocean]

...Thanks to you. I'm sorry you had to watch that.

I bet I won't be able to delete it when I can touch the communicator again.

[revengeisalie]

Ah, no, that's okay! I can handle it!

... you think? Is that a possible curse-effect, too?

[soulofocean]

Who knows. Every time this stupid device put compromising stuff about me on the Network it was impossible to get rid of it afterward.

[revengeisalie]

Wow.

Almost gives you the feeling it really wants to remind us of something.

[soulofocean]

After this I'm positive. It likes opening old wounds...

[revengeisalie]

Haha. I thought there was a theme...

Makes you kinda suspicious, doesn't it. If this whole "feeding off our emotions" theory is really just humbug.

[soulofocean]

All I get here is that if this is true then today I'm giving that stupid clock a HUGE boost... AND I HATE IT.

[revengeisalie]

Yeah, no kidding.

I wonder, though... reminding us of these very specific things... what's could be the purpose?

[soulofocean]

Other than making us go through our nastiest memories all over again?

You think they gain something else out of that...?

[revengeisalie]

I don't know...

I just keep thinking there's gotta be a purpose to all of this. That's my common sense talking.

But... yeah, this place and common sense? No guarantee.

[soulofocean]

I...

Oh, JEEZ.

This is supposed to make me madder at this place, right?? Or should I feel better thinking that all of this at least DOES have a purpose...?

[revengeisalie]

W-what? No, that's not what I meant at all...

Sorry. Guess I was thinking out loud.

[soulofocean]

So was I, actually. I don't know where I'm going to put all this RAGE after this is over. But it has to go somewhere.
