[Canon is The Prisoner (2009)]

[number1112]

Mun, really? I had enough trouble with one 6. Why would you want me to meet another one?

I'd rather not see anyone that has anything to do with the Village. Any Village.

.... But that won't stop you from being happy to find someone, will it.

Comments

[imhereforschool]

Nothing ever seems to stop them.

[number1112]

I know. As if I haven't been through enough already.

[imhereforschool]

It's not as restrictive as the Village, at least.

[Not that Hei is having a grand old time in Nautilus right now...]

[number1112]

You know about The Village?

[imhereforschool]

More than I care to. [Thanks mostly to his mun who's just too darn excited about all of this.]

[number1112]

You know 6?

[imhereforschool]

[He's tempted to repeat his last answer, really.]

I know enough, but you know a different one.

[number1112]

I don't know if I like the idea that there is more then one Village.

[imhereforschool]

[Hei wasn't sure he liked the idea of two 6's in being existence somewhere, but hopefully no one sends another to Nautilus.]

I don't think you have a choice.

[number1112]

... I never have a choice.

[imhereforschool]

Most of us don't.

[Aren't they such an optimistic bunch?]

[number1112]

[So much.]

Do you feel like just giving up sometimes?

[imhereforschool]

No. [He has a set goal, one that he'll see through or get killed in the process.]

Do you?

[be_seeing_you]

Hardly polite to speak ill of someone behind their back.

You're the one who attracted the attention of my mun this morning, I presume.

[number1112]

... Yes.

You're 6... but not 6.

[be_seeing_you]

You know another?

[Not the same one that is present in that city Nautilus he wonders.]

[number1112]

Yes. Which is strange since usually our names are unique. It's the ones with word names that share them.

[be_seeing_you]

Unique? That is not a word or concept that I would have thought had any place in The Village. Or have things changed since last I was there?

[number1112]

What was it like when you were there?

[be_seeing_you]

Full of people who were appallingly cheerful for having had their lives stripped of meaning.

[number1112]

And you questioned the meaning of it?

[be_seeing_you]

Would you not?

[That's a yes.]

[number1112]

I did but I didn't like the answers.

[be_seeing_you]

And what were the answers?

[number1112]

That none of it was real. That I didn't really exist.
