Ah. Well. I suppose you could have made a worse choice. Of course, I would have preferred someplace a bit friendlier. A cave devoid of proper books does not seem quite the ideal location for me, not to mention the presence of former . . . acquaintances. But I am sure you have only best intentions.

Still, this makes me a bit anxious. Perhaps they would let me bring a few things, a few irreplacable items . . . surely.

Afraid of roughing it, Angel?

[tartanisstylish]

[sniffs haughtily.]

You say that as if you wouldn't be.

[inequal]

No items from home, I'm afraid, unless you count your birthday suit.

... and even then, might not be entirely the same as when you left it.

[tartanisstylish]

That seems unreasonable. Why would they feel the need to - adjust one's corporation body? Mine is still in working order, as far as I know, and I'm sure I know better than most.

[inequal]

That would be the question. My husband lost about fifty years and I got a body at all, so it's not all bad.

[tartanisstylish]

Well - some good comes out every bad, I suppose. I'm sure it's nice to be back in a body, it's a shame when they wear out.

[inequal]

It's natural. Real shame is when it happens before they've had a chance to wear down. Anyway — silver lining shouldn't be too hard for you to find, either.

[tartanisstylish]

Of course. I didn't mean to sulk, it just seems a bit lonely.

But people are always interesting no matter where they are, so there's that.

[inequal]

Lonely seems like the one thing it wouldn't be, what with so many other people in the same boat.

Bit of a people-watcher, are you?

[tartanisstylish]

Well, there are different sorts of lonely. There's lonely because there's no one nearby, and there's lonely because things are different and unfamiliar.

I do like people, yes.

[inequal]

Yeah... You've got a point, there. Seems like the Cave should be rife with that type.

Something we have in common.

[tartanisstylish]

Things do become familiar quickly with good company, though!

You do seem to. You seem a good soul.

[inequal]

One of the many benefits of reaching out.

Why, thank you. Can't say I think any differently of you so far.

[oilyhands]

It's missing more important things than books.

[tartanisstylish]

Oh?

[tartanisstylish]

I suppose I'll be reaching out, then.

[oilyhands]

It's just so... empty.

[tartanisstylish]

I would have thought you'd like empty.

[oilyhands]

After everything happens. Not before we've done our part.

[tartanisstylish]

But the end result is ultimately the same. Why does it matter? . . . Pride?

[oilyhands]

It's different. I can't reach anymore, it's wrong.

[tartanisstylish]

Oh. Well. Perhaps the idea is to allow us the space to adapt.

[He looks fairly unconvinced by his own argument.]

... did I mention omg Jude Law? Because omg Jude Law

[oilyhands]

Adapt to what? [His whole purpose is making messes, he's not seeing how this can even remotely relate]

i love jude law, i love his ridiculous face!

[tartanisstylish]

To everything. To the possibility of becoming something different altogether.

his is a v lovely face

[oilyhands]

That doesn't make any sense. We are what we are for a reason.
