fourth hunt ✗ ( voice )

[relatable]

[After trying to process things for days, she's finally willing to poke herself about again. She's been mostly alone in her rooms.]

If this place is all you have, what would you do? If home isn't an option any more, what things would you want to do here?

If nothing matters... [She's tense, sounding depressed.]

I guess I should make a list of things I've never done and do them. I just don't know where to start. Or do all the things I like to do. Me and my mom used to go hiking, but I guess I can't really do that here.

[She just sort of fades off before shutting the feed off.]

I didn't see any. But, they have these little pastry things that taste almost like orange cream-cicles. I could eat those all day.

Why not? If you can't go backward and you can't go forward then there's nowhere for you to go.

Okay, so pick something new! If you don't know where to start, write a lot of things on pieces of paper, draw them out of a hat, do whichever comes out first.

[depicted]

Anything new. [Dorian manages to fail to sound enthused by the idea. Exhaustion runs a hard vein the philosophy, and it has long since started to get into the water; still, he persists in hope.] New sensations, new experiences—anything I haven't known before. If nothing truly matters, why not take the risk?

[schwitzen]

Doing things you like sounds like a good place to start.

If it's all right...may I ask why you can't go home?

[She looks down for a moment, thinking.]

I'm dead.

That does sound pretty good.

My problem isn't settling here. I've been here over a month. It's with home. And that it somehow keeps interfering here.

[relatable]

Well I got to dance at the Bacchanal. Not that I haven't before, but it was-- fun.

[relatable]

Because there are people here that know me.

[relatable]

It won't be new forever though. [Which is the tiring part of living like that.]

[relatable]

I can go home. [It's what happens there.]

[schwitzen]

Sorry, I should have worded the question better. Why isn't home an option? ...I don't want to be intrusive, I just. Have a similar situation, I suppose.

( that's a very final thing to be certain of, and not what shockwave was implying. )

Most would settle for a favorite color or monograph. ( a small smile. ) But then it seems to me as if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

[relatable]

It's a long story. [One that she really hasn't told anyone in full.]

video

[relatable]

It's the only thing I can keep thinking about. [What Will told her just replying on her mind.]

[schwitzen]

You were looking for things to do, weren't you?

video

[tomemyoutliers]

There is no point in dwelling on things you cannot change. I know it's tempting, but if this is all we have left then why waste it?

( the moment this all ends -- well that was something shockwave wasn't thinking about. )

[relatable]

Talking about me wasn't one of them.

video

[relatable]

How do you stop then?

[schwitzen]

My apologies, then. I hope I didn't prod too much.

[relatable]

It's fine. [She's just really closed off.]

[schwitzen]

[He can relate.]

I don't have any answers to your questions, so I'll stop bothering you.

[relatable]

You're not bothering. [She doesn't want to come off as a bitch.]

[schwitzen]

That's a relief. I'm not very familiar with these... [Whoops, he forgot the word "computer" again.] ...uh, these machines. It can be a little hard to know if I'm being rude or not when I can't see the person I'm talking with.
