That's alright. If you were in the Healing Center, it probably means you were supposed to be focusing on your healing.
Well, maybe. I guess we don't know since you weren't supposed to be anywhere and a lot of anomalous things happened.
[ stop talking??? ]
I'm Ramiel. [ she opens her mouth to add something like 'caspians friend' but then is like. actually i have no idea if we're friends so never mind about that whole sentence. ]
It was shocking, especially since I thought Gammie was from earlier in the timeline than I was. And then it turns out she isn't. And she still hasn't explained what that means.
[ pouting about this to someone she just met is very unprofessional. ]
Sometimes I think that it's because we're sisters, and we're meant to annoy each other. Perhaps she's just being mean to me for fun. I wouldn't mind if that was all.
But other times I worry that it's because she doesn't trust me. Like there is information that I can't be trusted with.
[Hmmm. Oh n, he has walked into a family feud, and he is a hexpilled messiah with no siblings and a bunch of cult followers.]
Have you tried to talk to her about this? How you feel, I mean. It's easy to become consumed with the worst scenario knowing only one side. [Thinking of........ himself and Jayce.] Maybe she doesn't want you to worry? Or maybe she wants to protect you.
It is because most people's reason is clouded by their emotions. They want the essence of what I believe in, but not the process in which to obtain it.
[ she was going to very rudely be like 'well it sounds like they just don't want what you're offering then' but actually. that sounds kind of like uploading. which is a rough process, but a perfectly fine and good thing to do in mists's unbiased opinion! ]
Oh. Sometimes good things are behind a kind of scary-sounding process. I understand.
It does. It's one of the things I believed in the most. Peace. Harmony. A place people could live together, coexist without violence or war, pain or suffering. Disease, illnesses.

I see. I would say that's unfortunate, but I guess the fault lies with me since I did not write any of you. I'm sorry.
[Damn, Kiraman, talk about people - Damn, Maddie, talk about people??? (no).]
I'm Viktor.

Yes, I have become the residential mystery.
[Shut up, you're fucking friends. I won't let Pantheon try to ruin that for me with narrative discord. FRIENDS!!!]
I like your hair.
[He is in his kindness era. Well, unless someone gets sassy with him, and then he starts throwing verbal rocks.]
no subject
[ she shrugs! ]
Oh. Thank you. I chose it myself. [ i guess??? ] I like your—appearance?
[ she was like. outfit? does that count as an outfit? she likes his hair too. ]
no subject
Thank you. I did not choose mine, but I did grow it.
[This is so funny.
He bridges the gap because Caspian talked about picking any image you want when it came to looks. Also, Caspian fumbled the Mist talk, too. Figures.]
You know Caspian well.
no subject
[ THIS IS NOT REALLY A MATTER OF CHOICE but okay. anyway. ]
Yes. I know him better than anyone.
[ ok even if that's kind of true don't. say it? ]
no subject
Assigns MIST like the hexcore.]
Do you now. [Hmm.] You must be "Mist" then.
no subject
[ but she's like ? how do you know that. why would anyone talk about me. ]
no subject
Caspian has mentioned you. Did the three of you know you would all be here together?
no subject
Actually, no. We're all here by coincidence. At least, from our ends...
Gammie and I only found out we both took this job when we arrived, and then didn't find out about Caspian until weeks into the project starting.
no subject
It must have been shocking to find all of that out. I'm glad you've had each other, though.
no subject
[ pouting about this to someone she just met is very unprofessional. ]
But I am still glad that we're all here.
no subject
Do you think there is a reason she is avoiding explaining things to you?
no subject
But other times I worry that it's because she doesn't trust me. Like there is information that I can't be trusted with.

Sisters are important to each other.
[Thinking now of Violet and Jinx.]
no subject
I've tried a little. But she was mad at me before we came here. We didn't talk for a long time.
But we've been talking here, so I don't want to mess it up. If she wanted to tell me, she would. And she hasn't, so... she must not want to.
no subject
Ah. I see.
[This adds another layer to everything. What the fuck were y'all doing, damn?]
It's a bit disingenuous to continue on in this secretive manner. It's clearly hurting you.
[Tsk, tsk.]
This is why a single collective rids the conflict of miscommunication. All thoughts are known to each other.
no subject
[ huh? ]
No, that seems bad.
no subject
It isn't bad, but [a pause to exhale, resigned] you wouldn't be the first - or the last probably - to tell me such.
[DOES NO ONE HERE BELIEVE IN HIS HIVEMIND WITH HIM???? Where's Lucien?]
no subject
Has anyone ever actually agreed with you before on this?
no subject
It is because most people's reason is clouded by their emotions. They want the essence of what I believe in, but not the process in which to obtain it.
no subject

no subject
Yes. The commune flourished actually. People were at peace. It wasn't a bad process of living.
no subject
[ would love if we could have peace, actually. ]
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
Why is it so difficult to create such a place?
