Day 389 : Video/Action : Anniversary
[Kitty appears on the video with bruises from a failed strangling fading on her neck. Things got rough a couple of days ago.]

So, it's Day 389 which also means it's been a year since I got here. And since the only other one who made that length of time is gone now, I guess I'm the reigning champ of sticking around. Celebrate or mourn it with me at Lyrical I guess. Funny hats are a plus. [She doesn't really know how to feel about it, but she figures it will be better to be not alone.]

Everyone's invited. [That was for Reid. Just in case he forgot, but if newbies want to party too then she doesn't really mind. She'll be set up on a small, comfy couch nursing a drink and listening to the music she requested from the music station. She isn't actually wearing a funny hat...yet?]

[Private to Chekov]

Hey.

	You're asking? [Was "everyone" too non-specific?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, very much so. I wouldn't want to presume. [ Good to know. He'll make his way there, then. ] Will the funny hats be provided, or do we have to bring our own? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-08-27 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	That's definitely a bring your own situation. I'd hate to tell someone else what they should find funny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Snorts. ] And here I thought you might be concerned that our selections wouldn't be amusing enough for you. [ He'll be there in... well, realistically, given the speed at which he walks anywhere, it'll take a while. Marina should install some form of transportation!!! But eventually he will, in fact, arrive. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There are segues available. Well, and bikes but that would require effort. Still, she'll just wait as he gets his steps in. She'll give him an acknowledging nod as he walks in. Nothing better than that after a long walk, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He won't even justify the bike suggestion with a response, and segues are ridiculous-looking. ] [ But he's fine! Not out of breath or anything. It helps that he took a break when he was almost there to recover, maybe. ] I don't suppose congratulations really are in order. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles. Goodness it took a long time to get there!] I wouldn't judge you for them. Wouldn't judge you for condolences either. Feels like it's a spectrum of things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Shh. ] I suppose, according to some here, you're lucky not to have been 'lost' yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't believe the virtual reality story? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I believe that people here absolutely experienced waking up and seeing the bodies of every 'misplaced' person in stasis.

[ Slides his arms over his chest. ]

But once you've accepted that everything you're experiencing is a simulation, I wonder... how you could ever be certain you'd truly 'woken up'.

And it strikes me as entirely convenient, for the wardens here, to convince us that even attempting escape is futile. I'm also... [ Pauses, then just looks mildly amused. ] ...shall we say, skeptical of the neatness of the image that has been described to me.

No inmates ever truly lost...? In a system as unstable as what we've been allowed to witness from within the simulation? [ Shakes his head. ] I have my doubts.

You have to work from some reality. [She gives a shrug.] It explains some things better like being able to switch bodies with someone else. Sure, there are other ways to get there, but this explains all of it.

Hard to know if any of the instability is actually unplanned or not.

[But she doesn't really know either. He's right. Once you accept that it's even possible you question everything to the point of inaction if you let it.]

I don't think it's impossible to break out though. Just...another layer to work through.

	I doubt it's impossible, either. Which is part of why I doubt the image they've presented us with. [ A wan smile. ] But I suppose I'll leave the escape attempts to those with... [ flexing his fingers, ] greater motivation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Your motivation is lacking? [Looking at him curiously.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's quiet for a beat. On his first day, he danced around the topic, but... on his first day, things were different. Since Botani... everyone here from his own world already knows. There's much less reason to keep dancing. ] Entirely. [ Tiny smile. ] There's nothing left for me where I came from. Certainly not when I came from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. [This is her reaction. Enjoy the warmth.] I guess I should teach you the secret handshake of the death buddies then. [Because her too.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
