Heading for hollyheights, hopefully.

[liberatrix]

It's abo+ut time that yo+u've became decisive.
Do+n't get me wro+ng. I can be patient and sympathize, but eventually everyo+ne has to+ make a decision.

I'm no+t pleased with everything abo+ut this, but I'll deal.
Turning into+ a human is go+ing to+ be an unco+mfo+rtable experience fo+r a while.
Can yo+u blame me? Spo+ntaneo+usly changing species wo+uld bo+ther anyo+ne.

Aside fro+m that, I'm actually lo+o+king fo+rward to+ it.
After a few eo+ns o+f wandering thro+ugh the same dreambubbles with the same eleven peo+ple, things get o+ld. Fast.
Maybe that's why o+ur perso+nalities are so+ static despite existing fo+r such a ridiculo+us amo+unt o+f time.
There's been no+thing during that time to+ influence us. No+thing but stagnant memo+ries of the past.
Yo+u can't really change and mo+ve o+n if all yo+u have is the past and no+ future, right?
Maybe a drastic change o+f pace like this will bring so+me change to+ me and anyo+ne else that co+mes along.
Maybe we'll even gro+w a bit.

O+r maybe I'm thinking to+o+ hard abo+ut it. Who+ kno+ws?
Regardless, it sho+uld at least be fun.

P9rrim, while I'm hardly inclined t9 delude myself en9ugh t9 6elieve that y9u, 9f all pe9ple, w9uld rec9gnize that the frighteningly su6standard meth9d 9f n9t imp9sing y9ur lackluster viewp9ints regarding the vari9us pr96lematic discrepancies plaguing 9ur w9rld and its varia6le iterati9ns thr9ugh9ut the plains 9f parad9xical existence that y9u are currently empl9ying is n9thing if n9t an 9pen gateway t9 an exp9nentially alarming c9llecti9n 9f infinitely triggering material, t9wards n9t 9nly th9se 9f us wh9 ch99se t9 identify as cisspecies 6ef9ran -- 9r, in light 9f 9ur recent run ins, Alernian -- tr9lls, trans- 9r 9therwise half- identifying tr9lls, 6ut humans, th9se wh9 may 6el9ng t9 an entirely different gr9up 9f 6eings alt9gether, and a slew 9f differing lifef9rms su6jected t9 the very same physical metam9rph9sis as y9u are currently addressing as well, thr9ugh y9ur un6ridled implicati9ns that alternating the state 9f 9ne's species is s9mething t9 feel any level 9f disc9mf9rt t9wards, I w9uld have expected 6etter fr9m s9me9ne wh9se pre9ccupati9n with the expl9rati9n 9f 9ur culture's sh9rtc9mings is very nearly c9nsiderate en9ugh t9 c9me cl9se t9 matching my 9wn.

I'm actually s9mewhat disapp9inted 6y y9ur 6latant disregard f9r utilizing the appr9priate trigger warnings, if y9u really did feel the c9mpulsi9n t9 address these matters pu6licly.

#Except #N9t really, t9 6e frank

[liberatrix]

I co+uld elabo+rate o+n what I meant, but I kno+w it'd be like talking to+ a wall.
So+.
No+t go+ing do+wn that ro+ad.

I think yo+u o+f all peo+ple co+uld benefit the mo+st fro+m so+me change.

[celibate]

The 9nly 6enefit a change 9f envir9nment w9uld 9ffer after very nearly an eternity amidst the same sights w9uld 6e an invalua6le 9pp9rtunity t9 expl9re new dynamics applied t9 an unfamiliar c9mmunity, and the status 9f currently empl9yed s9cietal standards, expectati9ns, and prejudices.

And, I assure y9u, I d9n't need t9 6e altering my 69dy f9r the sake 9f that little endeav9ur. S9me 9f us are perfectly capa6le 9f perf9rming inf9rmed, detailed analyses 9f such su6jects with9ut the need t9 indulge in their effects first-hand.

[liberatrix]

Kanny, can we please have o+ne co+nversatio+n that do+esn't revo+lve aro+und yo+u trying to+ explain ho+w much better yo+u are than everyo+ne else?

[celibate]

I've asked y9u repeatedly t9 st9p calling me that, y9u kn9w. S9 l9ng as y9u c9ntinue t9 p9ssess y9ur a6ility t9 pr9n9unce w9rds c9rrectly -- a privilege which, as I'm sure y9u kn9w, is 9f utm9st imp9rtance t9 check as frequently as p9ssi6le -- then there's really n9 reas9n t9 keep using that ann9ying nickname.

6esides, that isn't what I was d9ing at all.

[liberatrix]

This rebellio+us no+nsense is getting to+ be o+ld after a few eo+ns o+f it.
I'd leave yo+u to+ yo+ur o+wn bratty mo+o+d but it seems leaving is no+t an o+ptio+n fo+r me.

[celibate]

I am n9t 6eing re6elli9us, n9r am I in a 6ratty m99d, and I'd thank y9u t9 6e a 6it m9re mindful 9f y9ur language in future; n9t f9r my sake, 9f c9urse, th9ugh I'd 6e lying if I said I f9und y9ur percepti9n 9f my 6ehavi9ur t9 6e at all accurate, 6ut f9r th9se wh9 may 6e in the vicinity. S9mething al9ng the lines 9f "TW: 6aseless presumpti9ns" s9unds appr9priate.

While y9u're here, perhaps y9u'd like t9 hear the newest additi9n t9 my extensive lexic9n 9f rants -- er, addresses -- regarding the disparaging s9cial c9nflicts spread thr9ugh9ut 9ur 9wn s9ciety.

[liberatrix]

I do+n't have an actual cho+ice in the matter, do+ I?
Well.

Go+ ahead.

[liberatrix]

O+o+o+kay.

[celibate]

S9 y9u can understand why I, in particular, find that it is vitally imp9rtant f9r each and every 9ne 9f us t9 remain c9nsci9us 9f 9ur 9wn ch9ices in apparel and t9 c9nsistently check and re-check 9ur shared, yet still marginally independent, "cl9thing privilege," s9 as n9t t9 delve int9 striking 9ffensive and pr9blematic areas 9f unmitigated prejudice against th9se wh9 p9ssess neither the ability, desire, 9r sense 9f taste required t9 dress in a way deemed "publicly appr9priate," be it acc9rding t9 their bl99d caste -- 9r lack there9f, 9f c9urse, far be it fr9m me t9 exclude th9se bel9nging t9 interspectrum classes -- 9r 9ther equally as tedi9us fact9rs.

[liberatrix]

That's what yo+u were talking abo+ut?
O+k.

[celibate]

Well. Yes, 96vi9usly.

Was there an issue with my pacing? I'll understand if y9u were simply t99 enraptured 6y my tutelage, 6y which I mean my eff9rts t9 share with y9u my viewp9ints, t9 pay pr9per attenti9n, in which case I w9uld 6e m9re than happy t9 reiterate.

[liberatrix]

NO+! No+.
If yo+u are o+pen to+ a bit o+f co+nstructive input, I wo+uld suggest brevity and co+ncisio+n.

[celibate]

P9rrim, please. Y9u and I 69th kn9w that I always strive t9 make my p9ints as c9ncise as p9ssi6le. D9 y9u really think I w9uld sh9w that level 9f disregard t9wards th9se with a limited attenti9n span f9r whatever reas9n?

[liberatrix]

Right, O+f co+urse.

[celibate]

I'm glad there's at least 9ne su6ject y9u and I can wh9leheartedly agree 9n with9ut the needlessly tr9u6les9me theatrics.

[liberatrix]

I'm the o+ne with needlessly tro+ubleso+me theatrics?

[celibate]

N9t t9 trigger y9u 9r anything, and, 6elieve me, th9ugh I might c9nsider such a feat t9 6e imp9ssi6le, y9u have my c9mplete ap9l9gies if I have, 6ut y9u d9 have a tendency t9 see things in s9mething 9f a skewed light.

[liberatrix]

I'm no+t taking yo+ur bait.
Yo+ur subtle passive-aggressive jibes are getting tiring.

[celibate]

Really, n9w, I have n9 idea what y9u're talking a69ut.

[liberatrix]

Right. O+f co+urse no+t.
Yo+u're kind o+f ho+peless, Kanny.

[celibate]

Kankri, thank y9u. M9re9ver, y9u're venturing awfully cl9se t9 9ffensive slur territ9ry with that entirely untrue remark. D9 I have t9 m9nit9r everything y9u say n9w?

[sucka]

hold
up
dont tell me youre copycatfishin ampora with this human noise

[liberatrix]

Augh.
O+k, I have managed to+ keep my lunch do+wn.

There's a difference between thinking I'm a human in a tro+ll bo+dy and literally having my bo+dy replaced with a human's.

[sucka]

ok
thats betta in a more fd up kinda way

[liberatrix]

I'm glad that yo+u, uh
appro+ve?

[sucka]

wouldn't go that far maryam
you feelin alright
what kinda carp are you experimentin with now

[cold_and_hot]

You know normally I wouldn't play the hero but if you want I can freeze that kid in ice if you want him to shut up.

[liberatrix]

I'm no+t go+ing to+ answer that immediately.

O+nly to+ give the perceptio+n that I'm feeling co+nflicted abo+ut saying yes.

[cold_and_hot]

Well it won't hurt him, the worst that would happen is he catches a cold or something like that.

i set my account up just 4 u

i'm touched. presumably inappropriately

[liberatrix]

Adventure? Peo+ple to+...kiss? Did I get that right?
No+rmally I'm reluctant to+ agree with yo+u, but that did cro+ss my mind.
My quadrants are depressingly empty at the mo+ment.

[alterniasian]

あなたは、できるだけ多くの女性として快感であなたのプロ女性の姿勢を練習する必要があります。それらすべてをオーバーなめると少し地虫のように震える。あなたは私が実証したいですか？

That's no+t ho+w it wo+rks.
Also+, I'll pass.

See, this is the pro+blem.
I wo+uldn't have a pro+blem with yo+ur lifestyle if yo+u weren't so+...
Uh.
O+verwhelmingly disco+ncerting abo+ut it?
Do+n't talk about Aranea like that.
