As riveting as this digression has been, it is not the reason I constructed this space for us.
Oh is this my cue to continue?
Yes.
Hey kid, you know-
I am far older than you-
Happy fucking birthday, sorry I didn’t get you anything to choke on because I don’t possess physical money, you know what my favourite part of this little game is? The part where you admitted I die regardless of whether or not I tell you anything, and nothing I say will change your mind.
I thought you wanted to say this for your own sake. For theirs.
Yeah that sounded pretty cool of me to do when I was talking to myself during my hike and didn’t know if you’d even pick up the prayer phone, but now that I know who I’m losing to, I’m not so sure.
Damn Jane, did you have to make going out with grace easy too? Could’ve saved some for the rest of us.
If your problem is with my complicity in your situation, I promise that your story will be released on the outside and heard by those who have had no part in this project. Honouring your memory and theirs is not antithetical to my goal here.
With all due respect, whoever you are, because it sure ain’t Flemeth, why would I believe someone who reminds me of myself?
Everything inside the ‘Box’, including this room, is being recorded for posterity.
Isn’t that convenient.
This is an observational study covering a virtual space equivalent to several continents with a limited research team. Surely you can concede it would be unreasonable if we weren’t recording everything.
Let me see.
I don’t know that that’s wise, given your skillset. There’s no telling what that foothold might give.
Let me see or I, I walk.
