-yeah. Better than I'd have expected, but I'm not gonna complain, y'know?

[he reaches up to rub at the back of his neck, there.]

Sorry. Didn't, ah, intend to interrupt or eavesdrop, but...

[ Well, he goes quiet. Continue. ]

...it was nice, is all. To listen to it.

[that's all he's got. he really wasn't trying to snoop.]

I see you're enjoying yourself with that dream machine you all have on that side of the rift.

Well, a little. I'd say the part I enjoy about it is still being able to talk to you guys somehow.

I'm mildly surprised for any visit.

[ Considering, yeah, Vash's vibes are better. ]

It seems that our dreams have caught up to us, so communication should be more stable through this method.

Rodya likes you, are you really surprised I'd end up visiting you too?

[it's not like he didn't ever talk to your ass before he died. we're chill.]

It's definitely easier than I thought, for a dream. Half expected it to be-- I don't know, trying to communicate in weird metaphors or something.

She's a strange human.

[ And SO IS GREGOR. Don't think this means anything. Racism lives strong. ]

I wouldn't know what it is like. I've always been on the receiving end.

[personal profile] verminous 2024-04-11 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she is.

[technically i guess gregor isn't fully human after the genetic manipulation but you know, it'd be kind of novel to be hated for the human part of the genes. being human enough to suffer human racism is a positive in that sense.]

Well, what's the receiving end like? I've never been on that side either. Does it just suddenly start being a lucid dream sort of situation after we get here?

[ it's no problem, gregor. To Knives, if you were born human, then you were always human. The Virches don't get better treatment, either. ]

It's invasive and if I were in deeper sleep, then I may not notice right away.

[ It depends on the NPC, basically. Knives is very paranoid. ]

Oh. That's a little unnerving, I guess...

[yeesh.]

If I bug you again and you don't notice it's a visit like this, I'll leave. I'm not a voyeur.

[ You're so polite, Gregor. Knives doesn't know what to do with it. And he doesn't know how to accept it. ]

I notice when people enter.
