[Volk tries to filter this private twice, tries once to filter it away JUST from Silco, then gives up.]

Why can't I DM? fuck this thing. Where are you?
saklas: (Woke up surprised)

[It only takes one time getting dragged out of bed to be a distraction for someone who was only very briefly noted as a doctor to figure out that Silco thinks this is a game and that it's winnable through metaphorical brute force. No point in interacting with people like that - just move out of the way and wait for them to bite off something too big for them to chew.]

sure. library's alright?

[Volk is in the library when he's awake and bored, which are two things that always accompany each other these days. He's in a hoodie and pajama bottoms. Both from yesterday, because who gives 1 entire shit about anything any more.

He takes one hand out of the hoodie pouch to wave. This has to be AQ - new people aren't hard to spot in a crowd of less than twenty.]


Yeah. Hi. I'm ... Volk.

[Wait, should he go over there, or is she going to come here, or -

He kind of halfway-wanders over. Hi, welcome to the, library with no books and a judgmental bird robot.]

What, like here in the building? Yeah, it's next to the cafeteria.

[He puts his hands in his hoodie's kangaroo pocket. His inner voice is telling him to shut the fuck up because he actually thinks Alice seems like she has a head on her shoulders, which is something this place URGENTLY NEEDS, but not even Volk can make Volk do this.]

I realized right this second that I miss pizza like I've been, fucking, widowed.

Fuck off, [Volk says, staring into the middle distance like it is the cruel and loveless sea which has taken his betrothed from him.

Wait.]


Hang on, you got here two seconds ago. Maybe actually fuck off? I haven't decided.

Offended? I guess not. I think it says more about the people you hang out with than anything.

Violence adds harm to the world, it's a net loss for the cost of an individual gain.

[He sounds not preachy just... dismissive. Like he's just done the math and it's not a logical investment.]

[He blows out a puff of air in a stressed sigh and runs his hand through his hair.]

Actually, that's what I didn't want to say over the network. It's ...not just you and Travis with stories like that. It's a lot of us. None of them match up with consensus reality, and none of them even match up with somebody else's impossible story.

[Okay, yeah, good idea, he's following and pulls a chair out to sit Incorrectly in.]

With my -

[COME ON MAN, IT'S EVERYONE'S REALITY.

Okay, no, yeah, she's got it. She got it faster than anyone else he's explained this to.]


That's the problem, isn't it. Which one? Occam's Razor is one thing, but what's more likely to be true? That there's something out there, and it individually wants a couple of random specific people to be better, so it launched them into space? Something that has never happened?

Or that you can do anything you want to delusional people, and to prisoners, and no one will believe them. Which... happens constantly. All the time.

I've been here before. That's my evidence.

[He looks at the table, picks his words not with any ominousness or self-hate but with precision, like a jeweler setting tiny stones.]

I know what I am, even if it's a surprise to the rest of you. I promised years ago that if I ever got this bad I'd take the emergency exit.

[Volk makes a gun gesture against his head.]

That's what I want to do. Can you imagine how humiliated we are from the outside? What everyone thinks of us?

[Death rather than shame. Death as an equal rather than life as someone pitied.]

What we should do, that's another story. I've got no doubt that this place is real, that you're real, that the consistent lying about where we and what we're here for are is both real and purposeful. I'm pissed off about that either way.

[Volk scoffs. No one's heard of him here. That's their fault, not his.]

Girl, I'm verified.

[Blue check mark! Feel free to imagine this in the gayest tone possible. girl please.]

What?

It's ... it means that I'm notable enough that people will try to impersonate me.

Like, not a lot of people, but you only have to find an account roleplaying as you once.
