Crystal Voice to All!

[hellofishies]

[ Arkady's voice has a slightly Cockney accent to it and when she speaks she sounds chipper enough. Perhaps a bit too chipper given the circumstances, but that was just the way she was. Pretending to be happy when everything inside was the opposite always just seemed easier to her. ]

'ello everyone! I had something that I thought maybe might be important to tell people. Or two somethings! I think there were three but one got lost. If I find it, I'll tell everyone again. [ She pauses for a second and then continues on ]

I tried to look out as far as I could see but when I got to the mist it just stops. It goes and goes and then there's the mist and it just... ends. [ And it really didn't feel good to feel like she was falling off the entire world. Her voice is a bit more quiet when she speaks again. ] Just like back home...[ she trails off for a second and then comes back with a more clear sounding voice. ] Something very big and very powerful would have had to happen to just make things be nothing. But what...?

[ There's another brief pause before she starts up again. ]

And also the people here! Their memories all jigsaw-y. Fragmented pieces that aren't completely put together. I don't know what it means yet. Or why. Maybe they were put together from something else? Maybe they're not from here either? Or maybe they're not real. They don't feel like the not real people where I was last. They were robo-people and they were very bad. They hurt to touch though and these people don't feel like that.

I just thought I'd share!

[ And that is where she almost ends things. But at the last second she adds something else: ]

I got a lot of fishies to cook! I'll be making things in the blue building if anyone wants to try them!

It seems like he has a lot. [ weighing on him she means ]

His name is Vincent. He's quite too. Thinks too much then keeps it all inside.

[tapestryoftime]

He does. I hope I can make it easier...

[Her voice softens.]

I really want to make it easier for him.

[She pauses and attempts to recall the name.]

I will try and meet him. [She smiles.] I'm glad that you two have each other here. It's good to have people you're close too and comfortable with.

[hellofishies]

It is very nice. I'm glad he wasn't left in the place we were before.

[tapestryoftime]

Oh? Where was that?

[hellofishies]

A very bad city with the Head. He said he brought us there to have us help with the City but he really just wanted to copy us.

[tapestryoftime]

A head? Do cities usually have heads?

[That sounds... very strange.]

I'm sorry. That sounds upsetting.

[hellofishies]

This city did. He was an AI that was left after a lot of people died of a plague.

[tapestryoftime]

That sounds like it's very lonely.

...not that it's an excuse but many he didn't want to be alone anymore.

[hellofishies]

I wondered that too. I was brought here before I had a chance to find out though.

[tapestryoftime]

Well, then... let's give them the benefit of the doubt and live here.

It's all that can be done.
