Song of Silence

[resonantblue]

Who: Future is Now and visitors!
Where: Future is Now dorms
When: Day 92, afternoonish

[today, Silence's eyes and voice are lively—to put it bluntly, she seems very human in contrast to her usual self...

...because today it's not Silence, who usually speaks in soft deadpan with a cold stare. right now, it's a ~new girl~ in control, offering smiles and warmth as she finally introduces herself to unitmates]

H, hello! The tall one showed me here the other day, after I met a bacon god and learned about hell, and before I could get to meet everyone I kind of...

[wwwwell she had abruptly given control back to Silence during that introductory conversation with Intensity, but she won't say THAT aloud]

...ehehe, anyway, I'm here to properly introduce myself as the secret eighth—ninth?—member of future is now!

I'm Song! Nice to meet you!

. . .

That tall one?

Everything I've done boiled down to one height adjective. How appropriate.

[resonantblue]

S, sorry! I know your name, it's definitely Intensity! Yeah!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Now now. Don't fret. I'm not offended.

Mostly.

[resonantblue]

That's a relief, I wasn't trying to be mean... that's one of the ways Silence described you to me even though I met you earlier...

Also, you are tall!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? So of the two can communicate with each other?

Do you have all of her memories? Or do you know only what she told you?

[resonantblue]

Only since I woke up a few days ago. As for her memories... do you mean her time here, or her past memories? Because I know nothing of her time here so far.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that mean your remember the memories she regained?

[resonantblue]

I think so. I have knowledge of her memories, even though they feel very distant, unlike anything that could ever feel like my own, if that makes sense.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hmmm.

I wonder if that means the producers have different sets picked out for the both of you.

[resonantblue]

What if... the producers put me and this girl in the same body and expected us to share!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Want to test this theory? If we make it an experiment, that will even cover the cost of the memory.

[resonantblue]

Sure... what should this experiment entail? Memories?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

As a person sharing Silence's headspace, if you purchase a memory, which will you get? One for her? Or one for you?

[resonantblue]

[gasps and clasps her hands together]

That's genius! We really could earn even more points as we spend them. I'll do it!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Broadcast or private?

Also we have to be outside of the dorm to call a Live.

[resonantblue]

It'd have to be broadcast—w-wait, do you mean I should try it right now?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What's the matter? Do you need to get settled in first?

[resonantblue]

No, um, it's not like that, it's, uh...

[SWEATS, eyes darting around to every corner of the dorm]

It's, it's... um...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's what? Use your words.

[resonantblue]

[eep!]

I'm nervous! If I do a Live I'll be broadcasted! To everyone! Isn't that a little intimidating?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't know. Do you find that intimidating?

[resonantblue]

Yes—that's a lot of eyes on me...!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

You do realize there are cameras everywhere right? Well - everywhere outside the dorm.

Supposedly.

[resonantblue]

Everywhere outside the dorm?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Has no one explained this place properly to you yet?
