i'm just really excited to play her again okay

[pseudoll]

Your enthusiasm is noted. [a beat] You might end up disappointed.

However, this place sounds better than the last. Thank you, and please do not put me through such torture again. [Though of course, it's all said in as flat a tone and passive an expression as possible. But come on Yin, this time you have something (or someone) to look forward to!!!]

My thoughts? ... It could be tolerable.

It's supposed to be a dream. [Something she likely hasn't had in a long time, but that means whatever happens isn't even real, right? Even if it was like a nightmare, it wouldn't be real.]

What can I do to enable a Poly app? :3

[ He almost smiles at that. Almost. Contractors don't dream. (Except that's not true, is it?)]

You're satisfied with that, Yin? A dream-world?

[ Nebulous and illusory, like something inside The Gate. But perhaps, like The Gate itself, she'd regain something she'd lost. At a price--but worth it. ]

[ Perhaps. ]

SCREAMS oh man i wish i could but last time i was at poly it didn't work out u_u

Dreams aren't real. That's good enough.

I'm sorry to hear that ;; /pets the Loli ... But a Hei can dream x3

[mortemscintilla]

If you believe that. [ Quietly. ] It's your choice.

[ He wouldn't push her. She may be a Doll. But she'll always be Yin to him, first and foremost. She's entitled her feelings. ]

sorry u_u but yes there is always dreaming...!

[pseudoll]

[a small nod] ... it is.

[But enough about her. She hasn't even asked the most important question yet!!] And you?

Yes there is <33

[ He pauses. But there's no need to affect nonchalance with her. No lies or dissembling. He can be honest. As much as he's capable of being. ]

I'm surviving. [ More or less. ] Your surveillance specter would be useful where I am.

[ There's other things he wants to say. But they have no rational use here. ]

You'll always survive. [This is a fact as far as she's concerned. She takes a moment before continuing to gather her thoughts. It's probably a reach, but...] Do you need them?

[mortemscintilla]

I will. [ He's trained to. Even with his world crumbling beneath him, he can survive. At her question, he shakes his head. ] Need? No. [ Paragraphs of subtext. There's other things he needs. None that can be spoken aloud. ] But the area I'm on is an island. Surrounded by water. [ And he's intent on finding an escape route. ]

[A soft hum. If there's no need, that's good. The less actual needs, the better... Right?] I see. My specters would be useful.
