What's going on?

Is this a new Party device? I'm sorry, Big Brother, for not catching the bulletin if it is.

This isn't...1984, is it. There are too many...things around.

	Oh. ...what's teasing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't see why you wouldn't take me seriously. I'm not sure what that term is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would have thought that everyone knew what teasing was. That's all. It's where I... I mean... I can't define it? Just... teasing. I suppose you could look it up in a dictionary? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm afraid I don't have any of the Newsspeak dictionaries with me at the moment. Is it from the 11th edition or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know what a joke is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Sort of. I think. It's...an old term. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	An... OLD term? Darling, it's a term used regularly. Anyway, teasing is like joking with someone. I know that you're not my sibling and that I'm not your government. It was a joke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not...to my knowledge it's not. But...I see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Winston, check your pockets. Does it say where you're located now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	I know where I'm located. London. I'd know the town anywhere...even though it's much different than I remember. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Not everyone ends up where they started. That's because twenty years have gone by. You might try going for a walk. Seeing what there is to see? Was there anything in particular in London that you liked before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been...walking. The telescreens have gotten bigger...Do they still have them in every house? Does the government watch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	The tele- Oh, the televisions. The TV's! Most people have them, but I never watch. I've only seen one movie before. Something called 'Star Wars'- Nevermind. The government might watch on their own TV's but they don't care what people watch on the ones in their houses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	No, I mean...the telescreens. The ones that are always on, through which Big Brother watches? I don't...know what a TV is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	No one is watching you in your house, Winston. At least not here. Unless you WANT them to, in which case- Nevermind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	Are you positive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	I am positive the government is not watching you in your house through anything called a 'telescreen'. I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...then how will they know if I commit a thought crime? Goodness. Is this some sort of test? I've never heard of Big Brother doing such a thing but...but maybe... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... a whatcrime? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isofthedead 2008-04-10 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Thought crime. When one thinks ill against the Party. Really, it's a sign of insanity when one commits a thought crime... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-10 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	There's no Party here, remember? No Big Brother, no siblings. (That's a joke, see?) And while some might be insane, it has nothing to do with um, a thought crime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
