♐ 003 // [Action] - Fourth Wall

[crisisrain]

[Raven was sitting on the porch of house 12, debating whether or not to try and brave the light snow fall. He wanted to go buy some red wine and curl up in the warm, ignoring winter forever. He can't ignore the fact that there is a sudden abundance of strange wingless people walking around however.]

Then it would seem that you and I have something in common after all.

[crisisrain]

So yer a tool to someone else as well? Geez, seems as though nobody ever gets the rights ta their own lives anymore.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

A tool... yes, you could say that.

I've been told since birth that my life belongs to a man who lived hundreds of years ago. I must not only live up to, but exceed his great accomplishments.

[crisisrain]

That's a little unreasonable, what if ya have nothin' in common with the guy?

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

Oh? I thought you might have figured it out by now.

I am a clone. Genetically, my original and I are identical.

[crisisrain]

[Raven feel pretty crap about being slow on the uptake.]

Are ya sure that's the kind of thing ya wanna be tellin' a stranger?

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

Hm, no, but I don't suppose it makes much difference whether I do or not, does it? If it is as you say and I am only a visitor here, then it makes no difference. If I am to stick around, what is to stop others who know about it from arriving as well? Besides... most people would find my name alone quite suspicious.

[crisisrain]

Yer not the only one with a suspicious name, believe me.

But I wish I knew why you were here. I have no idea if yer gonna be stuck, if this is all some kinda illusion, if any of this is even real!

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

Quite the vivid dream if it isn't real. Or has technology simply gone a step too far?

[crisisrain]

I think it's more of a technology thing, than a dream.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

Let me guess... all information is off-limits?

[crisisrain]

[He holds out his journal.]

There's a basic guide in there, I can't guarantee it'll help ya much.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

It's more than I expected, actually.

[He takes the journal and begins reading it intently, paying careful attention to everything -- semantics, word organization and just about everything else that can be interpreted.]

[crisisrain]

[Here you go.]

So, anythin' that takes yer interest in there?

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

[READ ALL THE WORDS??]

It's quite a lot to take in for one not accustomed it. So yes, plenty of things... the Malnosso Organization, especially.

[crisisrain]

Ta be honest, I don't know anymore than you do. I haven't had the pleasure of meetin' the Malnosso folk myself.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

Would you want to meet them, if given the chance?

[crisisrain]

Unlike most of the people here, I don't plan on kickin' their butts the moment we meet. I have questions I want answered.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

A reasonable decision. It sounds like most of the people here aren't being very rational about this.

[crisisrain]

Can ya blame them? These Malnosso torture us, keep us trapped her, seperate us from our friends and family. Their list isn't exactly one ya'd want to sit and talk about.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

But who is to say that harming or killing the Malnosso will put an end to any of it? If anything, things may become even more severe.

[crisisrain]

I actually agree with ya there, the Malnosso are protectin' us from the Third Party. But try tell that to anyone here.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

Some people are far too careless.

[crisisrain]

They're not careless, they're just annoyed. Anyone would be, so I can't blame 'em really.

[psychoanalyzer.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose not. It's a natural human reaction, after all.
