mental link: day 34

[erbier]

[ It is actually quite late when Ilde's soft voice moves through the hosts, her scent of smoke and earth. She is at a club somewhere deep in the city, dazzled by noise and light, something you are free to establish if you look for it. ]

( It has been suggested to me by a hacker named Y that I throw a concert to lure our bombers out again. )

[ This part is forthright, a statement of fact with no value attachment to it. ]

( I believe she is questioning who I really am. If I refuse this idea, I may encourage that. )

[ This may not be strictly true, but it is how Ilde has perceived their conversation. ]

( She seems to know something, but is it worth losing my guise? If not, how am I to refuse this suggestion and maintain it. I do not know if she is a part of the group who contacted us before. She may already know I am false and this is all a game. )


OOC: link & all threadjacking here very much encouraged!

( I am inside your head. )

[snaphiss]

( I am unpleasantly aware of that, believe me. )

( Can you perhaps keep your presence in my head to a minimum? )

[adamance]

( Don't give me cause to give you my attention. )

[snaphiss]

( Is that a threat? )

[adamance]

( My threats are clearly stated. )

[snaphiss]

( Then here is my advice to you: thank whatever gods you pray to that I'm in a good mood today. )

[adamance]

( My people believe in the power of those who have actually lived.

As one of them, it seems as if you are now throwing around threats, whereas I merely said I may speak to you again. )

[snaphiss]

( Yes, that was a threat. )

( Remember it. )

[adamance]

( I'll remember how easy it is to incite a reaction within you. )

[snaphiss]

[Welp, can't argue with that, but,]

( Unlike you, the woman who contacted me twice, at length, to argue over my daring to make a suggestion to someone who was asking for suggestions. )

[adamance]

( As I said, you got my attention. )
