Sixth Dance [Video]

[ofunquietwater]

[Unlike some, River's activated her tablet on purpose, though one might be forgiven for thinking otherwise. She's not looking at the camera when it turns on - instead, her attention is focused off on something outside its field of vision, head cocked to one side as though listening, gaze ever so slightly unfocused.]Simon? Where are you? It's not

Who is Simon?

[Audio;]

[ofunquietwater]

He's my brother.

[Audio;]

[doesnotbrood]

Are you hearing your brother, then?

[Audio;]

[ofunquietwater]

Yes. My turn to find him. It's always been the other way.

[Audio;]

[doesnotbrood]

You're brother...isn't here.

[Audio;]

[ofunquietwater]

You don't know. [Beat.] I'm not like you.

[Audio;]

[doesnotbrood]

So, you know your brother is here, with certainty?

[Audio;]

[ofunquietwater]

Can't prove presence. We know the world through our senses. Touch, hearing, taste. They can be fooled.

[Audio;]

[doesnotbrood]

Many senses are being fooled these days.

[Audio;]

[ofunquietwater]

Nothing new under the sun. Out of the sun.

How do I know you're real?

[Audio;]

[doesnotbrood]

Good point...
