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 will ignore the obvious implication there, and go for the other one: if you believe living here with the Nest is a lost cause, why did you take the hand that saved you? )

[snaphiss]

( Because that isn't a lost cause. Your grasp of the obvious has slipped. )

( You're the lost cause. Reasoning with you is useless. )

[adamance]

( I am able to see insults. I just chose to ignore it. )

[Gosh, Mara, she even said that's what she did!]

[snaphiss]

( You chose to be willfully ignorant. )

[adamance]

( Why do you think that? )

[snaphiss]

( Because I thought you were choosing to be willfully ignorant of what I said earlier, but now I see you're just naturally ignorant. )

[adamance]

( Trust me, you've done nothing by repeating your insult beyond highlighting your pettiness. )

[snaphiss]

[Not gonna refute that either, Mara knows she's petty and considers it a good thing. She protects herself against slights!! So she lets Lexa have the last word.]

[adamance]

[And thus Lexa got an award for lasting the longest in the asshole know-it-all bossy woman contest on this day.]

[batmotif]

[lexa r u making new friends

[adamance]

[Just finding out who the new easily riled up and unpredictable hosts are. No biggie.]
