How do I go home?

Vera, she/her

[l43fme4l0n3]

*Vera's mindscape is a large orchestral music hall. Instruments are everywhere playing modern songs with more classical instruments.*

[l43fme4l0n3]

We have a guy named Jack here who let lile 10 different people kiss him. Completely unloyal to his wife. Do not date him.

Jack...

Jack...

Fuck that sounds familiar.

Jack.

[ryl4nd-gr4c3]

The voices are trying to force me to get you to say fuck.

@s1m0n-th3-butch3r

They know I’ve said it before, right? It’s not like I’m incapable of swearing. I just had to lose the habit pretty quickly once I started teaching middle school. You slip up once and they never let you live it down.

[l43fme4l0n3]

Weak.

[ryl4nd-gr4c3]

What the heck, dude? Do I know you?

[l43fme4l0n3]

Vera. And no.

But not saying a word because kids made fun of you for it is weak behavior.

[ryl4nd-gr4c3]

I didn’t stop because the kids made fun of me, Vera. I stopped because every time I asked the kids to stop swearing, I’d hear, “But you did, Mr. Grace!” And then I started hearing from parents about their kids’ language. None of which is your business at all, because whether or not I swear is up to me and me alone. 

[l43fme4l0n3]

And you didn't punish them?

Hm... The COI did so much differently.

[og-of-sm-13]

That’s not a good thing

[l43fme4l0n3]

Yeah I know- oh I know you.

[og-of-sm-13]

… you’ll have to remind me from where. My memory has been spotty at best since I got here.

[l43fme4l0n3]

... I think you worked with someone I knew... I dunno, my memories are fuzzy.

[og-of-sm-13]

Well, we’re in the same boat then. We’ll figure it out, eventually.

[l43fme4l0n3]

I don't think I'll stick around long enough to figure it out. I need a way to get home.

[og-of-sm-13]

You’re dead, so is almost everyone here. There is no way out. I’m sorry.

[l43fme4l0n3]

I can find a way.

[og-of-sm-13]

…alright. Let me know if it gets technological. That’s my thing.

[l43fme4l0n3]

Will do.

[og-of-sm-13]

The implications hit him.

You said you were COI, right?

[l43fme4l0n3]

Soldier and scientist. Why?

[og-of-sm-13]

Okay so then the someone you knew must’ve been in the shipyard because I did wiring for the sm missions. That narrows it down a bit…

[l43fme4l0n3]

Yeah... That sounds familiar.

[og-of-sm-13]

Good, that means we’re getting somewhere.

[l43fme4l0n3]

Who did you work with?

[og-of-sm-13]

Technically the entire shipyard. In reality I took orders from Ava and worked the mostly with Jack.

[l43fme4l0n3]

... That sounds familiar.

[og-of-sm-13]

Okay now we’re really getting somewhere.

[l43fme4l0n3]

... Jack.

[og-of-sm-13]

Here’s around here somewhere. Maybe seeing him will get your memory going?

[l43fme4l0n3]

Where is he.

[og-of-sm-13]

Probably in the Hail Mary.

[l43fme4l0n3]

They know I’ve said it before, right? It’s not like I’m incapable of swearing. I just had to lose the habit pretty quickly once I started teaching middle school. You slip up once and they never let you live it down.

[l43fme4l0n3]

Weak.

[ryl4nd-gr4c3]

What the heck, dude? Do I know you?

[l43fme4l0n3]

Vera. And no.

But not saying a word because kids made fun of you for it is weak behavior.

[ryl4nd-gr4c3]

I didn’t stop because the kids made fun of me, Vera. I stopped because every time I asked the kids to stop swearing, I’d hear, “But you did, Mr. Grace!” And then I started hearing from parents about their kids’ language. None of which is your business at all, because whether or not I swear is up to me and me alone. 

[l43fme4l0n3]

And you didn't punish them?

Hm... The COI did so much differently.

[og-of-sm-13]

That’s not a good thing

[l43fme4l0n3]

Yeah I know- oh I know you.

[og-of-sm-13]

… you’ll have to remind me from where. My memory has been spotty at best since I got here.

[l43fme4l0n3]

... I think you worked with someone I knew... I dunno, my memories are fuzzy.

[og-of-sm-13]

Well, we’re in the same boat then. We’ll figure it out, eventually.

[l43fme4l0n3]

I don't think I'll stick around long enough to figure it out. I need a way to get home.

[ryl4nd-gr4c3]

The voices are trying to force me to get you to say fuck.

He's not COI or Eden.

[l43fme4l0n3]

I am. I figured he was some other faction.

And hi again.
