[It has been a few days since things have settled back into relative quiet, leaving behind only memories of those she has so recently encountered. Memories of having her daughter back. After the latest Spectavi broadcast, she's certain this has been simply another cruel trick of their overseers. Her message is simple, quiet; she doesn't have much else to say.]

Perhaps their goal truly is to torture us.

[Turning off the recording, she slips the communicator into her pocket, heading for the door. Perhaps a walk is in order.]

Perhaps they are sadists.

[video]

[lifewithoutrest]

After recent events, I'm not certain I would argue against that theory.

[video]

[tapdancinskelly]

Still, it was pleasant to see certain people during this strange event I think... I think in many respects it should give one hope despite what our 'keepers' might think of it or us.

[video]

[lifewithoutrest]

No. What it did was give hope, only to strip it away.

[Video]

[meilihua]

T-they do things like that...

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

What gives them the right?

[Video]

[meilihua]

I-i don't know that they have the right but they can and that...seems to be enough here...

[lifewithoutrest]

We're pawns in a game they've designed for their own amusement.

[bauhinia]

Hey, are you okay? [ This definitely doesn't sound good. ]

[voice]

[lifewithoutrest]

I will be.

[Which is her way of not saying 'no.']

[voice]

[bauhinia]

Wanna talk about it? Or, like, wanna talk about something else?

[voice]

[lifewithoutrest]

I believe something else would be preferable.

[ voice ]

[entreats]

You didn't realise it earlier?

[ voice ]

[lifewithoutrest]

I feel I may have misjudged their intentions.

[ voice ]

[entreats]

They're not exactly always benevolent towards us, no matter what kinds of lies they might tell about it. Even when they give us presents to try and win over our favor.

[ voice ]

[lifewithoutrest]

I've never believed they were kind, but I find this crueler than any physical torture they might have employed.

[crackpotcrocker]

I've never trusted scientists to begin with. Here is no expectation.

[lifewithoutrest]

Whatever their intentions, I suspect it has little to do with science.

[crackpotcrocker]

One wonders their angles.

[crabbygenius]

I'm beginning to wonder that myself.

[lifewithoutrest]

This is a form of torment I hadn't expected.

[crabbygenius]

Honestly, neither did I. I don't know about you but I'd rather they left well enough alone.

( voice )

[letterbombsaway]

Why do you say that?

( voice )

[lifewithoutrest]

Recent events seem to serve no other purpose.

( voice )

[letterbombsaway]

Maybe it was just a bad side effect?

[ she sounds... sad, but hopeful, like she truly believes there's more to it beyond pain and she wants other people to believe that too. ]
