Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

Oh. Him.

Let me ask.

Does it have something to do with the plant monster that everyone is so upset about?

Re: audio

[sefirot]

In a way. I told him he reminds me of a scientist from my world.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

[ There's a short pause. ]

He's apparently a character from a book.

...he also sounds like an asshole. Arthur mentioned that he had a lot of problems with his hubris and his ego. And not owning up to his own fucking mistakes.

We're going to read it tonight so I'll let you know if I learn more.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

Hm. Sounds like an apt description of the two of them, even I was not the one to bring it up. I imagine this means he's either self-aware or does not think it's fitting at all.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

Probably the second one. I've talked to him before. He's definitely the kind of person who thinks they're right all the time.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

I imagine he also refers to us all as numbered designations in notes he keeps.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

...why the fuck would he do that?

[ The tone makes it clear he does not like that idea. ]

Re: audio

[sefirot]

It's how he originally referred to the plant and only seems to be using a name right now because he is forced to.

If he is anything like the scientists I know then to him we are all possible subjects for his experiments.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

...fuck him.

His view of reality is painfully limited. And not in the good way.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

I'd rather kill him, but that's looked down upon here.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

There's also no point. You'd just be making work for someone else. And you'd make a mess in the Greenhouse, probably.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

There'd be no mess if I threw him over the side.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

True. But he'd still come back.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

That only means it can be repeated.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

It also won't teach him anything, more than likely.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

I doubt anything in this place will do that.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

Something probably will. Not that it makes it easier to wait.

He sounds like he's not worth our time, either of us.

How has your person been?

Re: audio

[sefirot]

He fell into a coma for awhile. But his body has been watched over.

[As much as Zack will allow. He doesn't allow him to creep over Cloud unsupervised when the coma thing is going on (that that Sephiroth would do anything but you know)]

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

Shit.

[ Nothing but sympathy. And some anger. ]

I hope he's up soon. It sucks to have to wait for someone to wake up. Arthur's never had one here, but he had one back in our world. He almost died.

Re: audio

[sefirot]

This is not the first time he's been in one, here or in our world. He seems prone to these things.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

How long has he been down?

Re: audio

[sefirot]

About a month now. I imagine he'll wake up soon.

Re: audio

[greatoldjohn]

Absolutely.

[ There's no telling but he wants to be hopeful. ]
