"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

[ of course! and the ship just lost a bug, we must appreciate those we still have. ]

I read it in a book. I think there's some truth to it.

[roseoftexas]

[ we sure did lose a bug. ]

Technically, I don't think we tamed these. But it's not like there's anyone else here to... I dunno. Make sure they're not in trouble?

[murdergate]

Are they real, do you think? They seem like it.

[ but what can you trust in any of this? the monarch flutters off. booooo. ]

[roseoftexas]

Do they feel real to you?

WEEK 6 NOT WEEK 5 i update, 400 years later

[murdergate]

Yeah, but my senses are pretty dead on the Eudora.

[ will update you after they sort of awaken tomorrow ]

Could be totally fake. I guess they're pretty regardless.

[roseoftexas]

Your senses are dead?

[ hmmm. ]

We could be mass hallucinating everything now, I guess.

[murdergate]

Compared to how they should be. I can see, but I'm not getting the right amount of information. I can't--spiritually, I'm totally cut off.

[ hard to explain and he seems to realize it mid-attempt. never mind. ]

So yeah. Who knows. Maybe we never left that first room.

[ watch out, he's on the verge of going full tinfoil hat ]

[roseoftexas]

[ he blinks.

yeah he's like... from a place where there's like zero magic. this means very little to him. ]

Like one of those third eye jokes?

...

That would blow my mind if it ended up being true.

[murdergate]

It's not unlike having a third eye, I guess.

[ double negatives are a boy's best friend. ]

You're better off preparing yourself for anything. Then you can't be disappointed.

[roseoftexas]

But not exactly like it either.

[ interesting. ]

Or just not expecting much, that's another way of doing it.

[murdergate]

Yeah.

[ a beat ]

What's your favorite beast? They have all types in the different areas.

[roseoftexas]

In this place?

[ .... ]

I hadn't really thought about it. I kinda like the big cats though.

[murdergate]

Any special reason or simple 'like?' I keep visiting the deer--reminds me of a druid I travelled with.

[ shu doesn't know magic stuff but surely he has some equivalent to a druid in his world.... right? ]
