[On considering putting in an early Wake reserve]

[number1112]

You can't reserve me there this month, mun. You don't have time, really, right now. Right?

Next month, yes?

Why are you thinking of doing it now?

Comments

[imhereforschool]

You sound anxious about it.

[As you should be 11-12. B[ ]

[number1112]

Besides the fact that my mun currently has very little time, I..... I really don't know if I want to start this over all again.

[imhereforschool]

I doubt you're going to get much say in it. They usually have their minds made up by the time they post here.

[number1112]

I know.

That... place. It does seem better than some. At least there's that.

[imhereforschool]

Perhaps. [The way he says it implies otherwise, however. The last reality storm in that place still makes him angry just thinking about it.]

You should ask Peter what he thinks about the current reality storm. [Even here Hei can't quite bring himself to call the man Number 6. Also, there's definitely a hint of a smile with that comment. Someone's enjoying this reality storm a little too much.]

[number1112]

Peter?

What's a reality storm?

[imhereforschool]

Number 6.

Nautilus changes the reality of the city, usually once a month and usually before the newcomers arrive. This time around many people have been changed into cats. [Which heavily implies that Number 6 is one such affected. GRUMPYCAT.]

[number1112]

Oh. Yes, 6. I met him here.

I won't have to have a word name too, will I...?

[imhereforschool]

[Word name. Hei tilts his head ever so slightly to one side. It looks like 6 is going to have his hands full with this one.]

Only if you want one.

[number1112]

Why would I? I have a name already.

[imhereforschool]

A number. [He shrugs, indifferent. If 11-12 wants to stick to that, it's not really his business.]

Of course, you might change your mind if you manage to stay in the city long enough.

[number1112]

[It's what he's used to.]

What do you mean? Change my mind about what?

[imhereforschool]

Anything. The city has that affect on people.

[number1112]

Something about... will?

[imhereforschool]

[He nods.]

They call it the City of Change for a reason.

[number1112]

I think I'd like some changes.

[imhereforschool]

Not all of them. [He knows he doesn't like what the City has tried to do, at least not all of it.]

[number1112]

You mean like the cat thing?

[imhereforschool]

The memory altering storms. [He practically growls it. A month out and it's still so easy to be angered by it.]

[number1112]

Is it that bad?

[imhereforschool]

Yes.

They don't happen often. [But often enough.]

[number1112]

That's good then, I guess.

[imhereforschool]

We'll see if you still think that way in a few months.

[number1112]

Are there monsters and murderers?

[imhereforschool]

Of course. [He's there, after all.]

[number1112]

Oh.

[He looks concerned about that.]

My mun once sent me to a horrible prison ship. I hope it's not as bad as that.

[imhereforschool]

Hm. [He considers this carefully for a few moments, the mun filling him in on a few things.]

No, it's not designed like the ship. It's just a living city.

[number1112]

Living?

[imhereforschool]

[He nods.]

The city is something called an Aeon with powers like a god.

[number1112]

It sounds a little scary...

[imhereforschool]

You adapt. [Or...you don't. Either way? Not Hei's problem.]

[number1112]

I don't know if I'm very good at adapting.
