You don't owe it to anyone to stay. Yeah, I know you were happy there, but it's not like you've done anything with me there since. If it's not your thing anymore and you're gonna be unhappy if we stay, then leave. It's not like you don't have other games and the musebox with the silly name, and it's not like you can't still talk to them on Plurk.

[...You sound like you've been reading Captain Awkward.]

Because you have. I'm your muse. I can know anything you know, if you want me to, and you do right now. Also I'd be pretty unhappy too, and y'know, I like to avoid that when I can. I don't like the whole personality-changing-with-where-or-when-I-am thing, it's creepy, but I'll say it again: musebox.

Let's go. You've got the_library now, and maybe others in the future.

You're in a library? How'd that happen?

[sandwormie]

I dunno. Just... showed up there, and it's not a bad place. You get to missing sky and wind. Suns. But it's interesting! In the good way, not just the I-don't-know-what-else-to-say way.

Also slow, but... that's what my mun has other games and other people for, she says.

[eatmyexhaust]

Your mun sounds a little more reasonable than mine.

[sandwormie]

I think that's the first time anyone's said that about her.

[eatmyexhaust]

[ She laughs. ] Maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself. I hope not though.

[sandwormie]

Maybe not! Y'know, one translation for her name is "Reason". She saw that on a baby name site.

[eatmyexhaust]

I guess you do seem pretty happy most of the time... I don't know though. [ Grin. ] How much can you put into a name?

[sandwormie]

I just'd rather be happy. You can only be miserable for so long, right? Usually things get better than they seem. ...Also my mun has terrible musebleed, so actually there's good points to being the favorite.

What, miss, are you saying the people who give names don't know exactly what you'll be like and name you to be like that? [He's mugging outrageously.]

[eatmyexhaust]

[ Wow. Asami can't help but think how she should follow his example. ] You're right. I mean, I'd rather be happy too. [ She smiles and then laughs at the last part. ]

[sandwormie]

Great! I mean... good. [An older girl likes him! Life is good. ...Older-teenager, not... It's not like that. Nevermind.] I'd prefer you were happier too.

[eatmyexhaust]

Thanks. [ Sideways grin. ]

But this is about you, and your happiness.

[sandwormie]

-Oh. Yeah. Well I get really angry and upset sometimes, and if people don't talk me down it kind of sticks around for a while. But I don't like to be like that a lot. It's tiring and it just makes stuff worse.
