[18] - [Public, minus Jesse. :c.]

[sharpememory]

All this creepy stuff is pretty obviously a mix of dream and emotion working. It's been known to make people think stuff. To see stuff that isn't there. I don't know if this is a flood or what, but we need to work from the head outwards. Make some amulets or something. Unless someone wants to go up and have a chat with the Admiral, and tell him to cut it out.

[Warden Filter]

Of course, you guys could give me my power back and I could do some investigating myself.

[Private - Loki]

You gonna try and fix this, then?

[Private - Prefect]

I am not talking about anything that happened in that last flood. It wasn't cool of you to ask me questions during it either.

You might have been, but I think we should be talking about those things anyway.

I... I don't think it's fair that I should be telling you that you're here so that you can have a better future, when you can't have a real understanding of your past.

Private

I understand what I did in my past. And you don't see me asking you about your past. [Oh ho, the file. :c]

I'm not talking about the things that you did, I'm talking about things that happened to you. Things you're entitled to remember. Like growing up with Philip and Cassel, or... I don't know, spending summer time staying with your grandparents? Your first girlfriend? Or boyfriend? Maybe I wouldn't even need to know about them, Comrade, as long as you could get them back?

Private

Girlfriend, in case you were wondering. And I happened to trade all that stuff for perfectly good things. Don't act like it didn't mean anything.

Re: Private

How do you even know if you traded it for good things? How do you know it was a girlfriend, even? Comrade, don't act like you haven't lost anything.

Private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

I haven't lost anything I couldn't afford to lose. I'm still here, aren't I? I'm still in pretty good shape.

Private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

...No, Comrade. You're not really in very good shape at all.

And technically being here means that you're dead.

Private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. Being here has only helped, right?

Yeah, but people say that the Admiral brings you back.

Private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Comrade, you murdered two people. I don't think that's helping.

He doesn't bring you back to your life unless you graduate. Otherwise he just brings you back here.

Private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that was kind of everyone's fault, wasn't it? Not just me.

And I know that. [Pause.] Which is why I'm actually going to try all that memory stuff that won't work.

Private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

It happened because of a lot of things, but you were the one who ended up committing murder because of it. I'm not saying that it's entirely your fault, Comrade, I'm just saying that... it can't be good for you to do that.

Thank you. I'll talk to the Admiral about it now, Comrade.

Private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

But Beatty and O'Brien have left you alone now, haven't they?

Alright. Just don't expect any miracles.

Private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I can take care of myself, Comrade. I'm worried about what you do to yourself when you do these things.

All right.
