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.

Comments

[myriadtruth]

Yeah, sure it is. People are like that.

[pseudoll]

You mean regular humans are like that.

[myriadtruth]

Regular humans? [He's a bit perplexed by Yin's wording choice.]

What do you mean?

[pseudoll]

... never mind. You most likely wouldn't be able to understand.

[myriadtruth]

[If it helps, he has a friend who isn't human but that isn't really relevant right now.]

I'm listening to everything you have to say. Now would be the right time to try and explain things to me.

Or could it be that you don't want me to understand? [It's a definite possibility, bro.]

[pseudoll]

[She shakes her head.] It seemed like something that would be hard to understand.

[There's also the part about SECRECY!!! and all that, but for whatever reason that doesn't seem like a concern when it comes to this place. Regardless, she puts a finger to her lips.]

It's a secret in my world, but I'll tell you since we're not there.

[myriadtruth]

It might be, but you'll never know. [Souji's a pretty smart student for the most part.]

A secret? Well, I wouldn't want you to get in trouble for saying it.

[pseudoll]

Since we're in this place, I shouldn't get in trouble.

[myriadtruth]

I guess so.

[There's a brief pause here.]

Thanks for being so open about everything. Let's listen to what you need to say.

[pseudoll]

[a nod] In my world, there people called Contractors and Dolls. They are very different from ordinary people.

[myriadtruth]

Different? How so? Could you run that by me again?

[pseudoll]

Contractors are devoid of all emotion and function purely on logic and a sense of self-preservation. Dolls have no emotion as well but can reprogrammed to suit whatever a person needs.

[myriadtruth]

[Why is Yin talking about all this? Could she be a Contractor or a Doll? He doesn't want to say something insensitive by asking about it, so he decides to change the topic a little.]

You're amazing for knowing all this.

GOD THAT ICON

[pseudoll]

... it's just what I know. [It's not exactly common knowledge, so.]
