So, about Halloween...
[ Only visible to Dora, River, Simon, Jaime, Mal, Lily, Jayne, Dug, and Faye. ]

Yeah. Happy (early) Halloween. Or something like that.

If you see any yellow butterflies floating around - especially the kind you can't actually touch - it'd be a good idea to let me know. Or let Faye know. Would also be a great time to develop a blood fetish and play vampire.

Or you could always just die a slow and painful death. Your choice.

No need to tell anyone else about this. It doesn't apply.

	See no butterflies. Suspect coincidental, but will prepare nets in case of sudden alteration. Am telling Kyle. Cannot stop me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Nets will get you nowhere. Would prefer if you let me know the moment you started to feel bad. Depends on the method... I don't mind if you tell Kyle. But don't tell everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You cannot see; am rolling my eyes at you. Figurative nets. Handwoven by Academy themselves. Resistance to known and unknown toxins alike. Will grant untested limits. Will tell you if feeling badly. Remain sceptical if worry in warranted, but accept the safe not sorry ruling in this matter. Should everyone not know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's not a toxin, kid.

They're machines made into organisms. The mechanical replacing the biological, planting the seed for destruction. A devourer of souls, you could say. Oddly appropriate.

I'm skeptical, as well. But the time is right, if they were to choose this route. Too right.

No. Not everyone should know. There are some I would not spill my blood to save. Some who are better off removed from the collective. ~~Some I'd love to watch die.~~

	Remain hung up on word choice. Am... aware of the severity. Perhaps. Can imagine, fill in gaps created by ignorance. Recognize the danger. ~~Can take care of myself~~ Too right is the cause for the scepticism. Predictability has not been the strong suit of the leaders. I would spill mine to save them, were it allowed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 09:20 am UTC (link)
	I predicted as much. There's a time and place for every revelation. Don't be so quick to give them credit. Predictability in faked deaths has been on the rise. Someone's losing their touch. It's not allowed. Wouldn't do any good, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is difficult to judge. Have worked on the math - can show the numbers - but in terms of who dies and who lives the data remains inconclusive. Though will grant perhaps offered too blanket a statement. Follow clear paths in terms of lottery, even if the numbers themselves are of no use. ~~What authority was offered that~~ Justify your ruling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 09:36 am UTC (link)
	Fair enough. I still wouldn't trust them not to consider it. No justification is required. You're not spilling blood for any insignificant soul. For any reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 09:41 am UTC (link)
	A point of mutual concession. Have promised to warn. When definitions of 'insignificant soul' do not match, justification is required. Am willing to be the one to care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let Faye be the compassionate one. She can whore herself out for the cure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 09:51 am UTC (link)
	Would like to be whored out as well. The more whores, the less chance of the infection spreading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 09:55 am UTC (link)
	River, no! It doesn't... You couldn't stop it. Yet. What the hell? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 10:03 am UTC (link)
	Could if you would show me how. Unfair to indicate the danger and not allow me to fight it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 10:16 am UTC (link)
	But I won't. ~~It's too~~ ~~You have no clue what that~~ Wouldn't be right. Life isn't fair, kid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 10:28 am UTC (link)
	~~What? ... Oh.~~ Wasn't right, when it happened. First time blood is spilled is never pretty. Know the risks. Know what I am getting into. Am not afraid of the vampires that would seek me should I whore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 10:42 am UTC (link)
	Stop saying that. You don't get to be a whore, mei mei. The vampires are irrelevant. Your blood would be useless right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 10:46 am UTC (link)
	~~You said it first =P~~ My point. You see it. Show me how to make my blood useful ~~so I can be a whore~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 10:49 am UTC (link)
	I see nothing. ~~I'm not telling~~ ~~You don't want~~ I know what you'd do with the knowledge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 10:53 am UTC (link)
	Lies. I would share it with 'insignificant souls'. Faye does not have to be the only compassionate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lunkhead 2010-10-28 11:04 am UTC (link)
	She isn't compassionate. ~~I only said that to quiet you.~~ Just more likely to spread the vaccine. I won't hear any more of your excuses, River. I'm not showing you how. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilalbatross 2010-10-28 11:08 am UTC (link)
	Is what I said. Are not excuses. Are true points. Will learn eventually. Can't stop me. May as well accept that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	MASTER SPIKE MASTER SPIKE THERE WERE BUTTERFLIES OUTSIDE AND I TRIED TO CATCH THEM AND I COULDN'T AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COLOUR THEY WERE BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE COLOURS AM I GOING TO DIE OH GOODNESS I AM GOING TO DIE I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Voice lunkhead 2010-10-28 08:48 am UTC (link)
	I... No. Not if you've got that much energy in ya. These don't run away from you. But when you close your hand... Uh... When you do catch 'em, they're not really there. Can't feel 'em. Or... eat them, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Voice hithere 2010-10-28 08:52 am UTC (link)
	I... I am not dead? This is very much a relief! I was worried Master Spike, that I might be dead or dying because I had not been able to catch the butterflies outside. The butterflies outside were running away. Or flying away. So I am safe? Will the killer butterflies fly to me and then I will try to eat them and not be able to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Voice lunkhead 2010-10-28 08:56 am UTC (link)
	Alive is subjective. [Scoff] You're no more dead than the rest of us, anyway. Yeah. Sounds like you're safe for now. They'll come in a group. You won't see them show up, they'll just... be there. Maybe one at first. Maybe a whole group of 'em. The more you see, the shorter your life. And... it'll hurt. You won't mistake it for anything good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I do not understand. We are dead already? But we are breathing and walking around and eating kibble. Well. I am eating kibble. You are eating food. Dead people do not eat food. Dead people do not do anything except be dead. Unless you mean we are playing dead! I can play dead! Watch!

[There is a sound of a body hitting the floor. A few second pause, then light panting resumes]

I will make sure to watch for the Painful Killer Butterflies, and I will make sure that everyone else knows to watch for them too.

	Voice lunkhead 2010-10-28 09:28 am UTC (link)
	And if the breathing and walking is an illusion... [muttered] I'm not explaining this to a dog. You're not dead. Nobody's playing... dead... [He chuckles at the sound of Dug playing dead.] Ugh, no! No. Don't go around telling everybody. It... doesn't apply to anyone else. The Painful Killer Butterflies... are... picky. About who they kill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Voice hithere 2010-10-28 09:38 am UTC (link)
	An illusion? Does that mean like a movie? But everyone is real. I do not understand, Master Spike, I think you are confused. It does not apply to anyone else? Are you sure? Because I think that everyone should be aware that there are Painful Killer Butterflies wanting to kill them painfully with their butterfly-ness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Voice lunkhead 2010-10-28 09:57 am UTC (link)
	Or a... dream. No, Dug. I mean... Yeah, I'm sure. Sure enough. Just leave the warning to me. Alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Voice hithere 2010-10-28 10:09 am UTC (link)
	It could be a dream. And when I wake up, I will find out that Painful Killer Butterflies are not real! That would be nice. Okay Master Spike. I will leave the warning to you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
