Night of the living voice-tests (literally)

[jumpsinline]

Hwah? You're "thrilled" about wanting to put me in that city?

...no, I don't know about any "time warp".

And I don't get why you keep playing that song over and over again while laughing. Is it supposed to be funny?

They're not broken, that's how a body is suppose to work.

[jumpsinline]

But MY body doesn't work like that! And I shouldn't have been able to feel that.

[ She pokes her own cheek, still kind of freaking out here. ]

[higan_retour]

Normally, yeah. But like I said you appear to be alive.

[jumpsinline]

Like... alive for real? I can't believe this.

[higan_retour]

It's hard to believe but it seems to be the case.

[jumpsinline]

I wonder what I'm going to do, now...

[higan_retour]

No idea, but you'll probably go somewhere soon after this.

[jumpsinline]

Huh? I am!? What makes you say that?

[higan_retour]

Well most people after they come here in this context end up going somewhere. Or, at least somewhere is being looked for them.

[jumpsinline]

[ Headtilt. ] Somewhere is looking for me? Shouldn't that be the other way around? Or maybe it's not because I'm not lost.

...or am I?? [ She frowns. Thinking is hard. ]

[higan_retour]

No no, someone else is looking for a place to put you.

[jumpsinline]

Who is that someone?

[higan_retour]

I'm assuming it's your mun.

[jumpsinline]

What's a "mun"? Is it anything like a "bun"? [ Mmmm, buns. ]

[higan_retour]

I think it might be a little hard to explain.... Think of them sort of like your master.

[jumpsinline]

[ Processing. Processing... ]

But I thought I don't have one anymore? [ She puts a finger to her forehead, staring at it cross-eyed. ]

[higan_retour]

Well, you don't need your puppeteer at the moment no, but the person I'm talking about is a bit different, though I suppose very similar at the same time.

[jumpsinline]

You mean they're no the same? [ Because she totally just said that. ]

[higan_retour]

They're not the same.

[jumpsinline]

Oh, okay then! [ Just like that, she seems to put the matter out of her mind.

Or it fell out. One of those. ] Hey, who're you, again?

[higan_retour]

Komachi. At least try and remember people while you're talking to them.

[jumpsinline]

Oh, that's right! The shin guard. You said a lot of things, though, so it's hard to remember what we were talking about.

[higan_retour]

Maybe you need a new head.

[jumpsinline]

Can I do that? [ She puts her hands on the side of her head and sort of tries to push it upward. Please stop her before she hurts herself; ]

[higan_retour]

No, no you can't, especially as you are now. So please stop that.
