Who: Leto and You
Broadcast: Text
Action: SS Blameless
When: Now

Since the Atroma so kindly plagiarized my last game, which in turn makes me wonder how much of the broadcasts they actually pay attention to, I thought I'd offer something new.

What can't you live without? And what do you have that you would give up for it?

Or alternatively: Your favourite fantasy with the Atroma. If you must be graphic about it, do be tasteful.

I know. I lost my memories long ago. We were blank slates, in a way.

Is it?

Really? "We" - so it wasn't just you?

Yes? Not that I was worried about it.

There were quite a few people involved. In a place called Aather.

Do you worry often when you come into contact with strangers?

I've never heard of it.

Not when there's a screen between me and the other person, no.

That's not surprising. After all, who has ever heard of the Fleet?

But otherwise?

Point. Is it another world, then?

I'm bad at people.

Yes. Though I wouldn't know where it is located. Another dimension, far from here, I imagine.

How does one become bad at people?

Oh. I've heard there's other worlds like that, but no one said anything about losing memories.

I'm shy and I get nervous easily.

There are a few others who have experienced similar things.

That doesn't make you bad at people. It just makes it harder to talk to people.

Really? Were they from the same place, too?

I don't know how to talk to them either. It's been a long time since I've had to outside of my friends back home.

A different one. There are a few similar locations.

There is no "how". Either you can or you cannot. The "how" does not separate you from the rest of humanity.

Unless something else does?

A few? Do you know why?

Fine. I can but it's really difficult. Is that better?

[ha ha she ain't answering that last question]

I have theories, but nothing concrete.

Better for whom? Me or yourself?

Oh. It's just really weird that there's more than one place like that. But I guess there's more than one place like this one too.

I don't know? You're the one picking apart what I say.

Oh, quite a few.

It's what I do. People rarely say what they mean or mean what they say.

There's different realms in my world, but it isn't like that. They're all connected in one way or another.

Well, yeah. People have always been like that.

How so?

I'm a different kind of person, so I question it.

They're all connected to the human world, I think, because they need humans to survive. But I don't know a lot about it, I'm new to all that stuff.

That's not really a bad thing. It's good to question stuff.

"That stuff"?

I suppose it depends. Uncomfortable questions tend to merit aversion.

Knowing about other realms in my world. That stuff.

Yeah, but if someone's uncomfortable they'll usually tell you. So it balances out. Most of the time, anyway.

I imagine it's not a large knowledgeable study.

I think you highly estimate people's ability to communicate clearly.

It's not, no. Humans aren't supposed to know about it.

I might a little bit.

But you do.

Not to say that they can't. But they often prefer not to.

I do.

People are weird.

Yes.

But that's what makes them interesting too.
