Re: text

[badbreak]

b/c its really really
fucking important

[he stares at the text for a few minutes before he sends it]

[and adds in a rush, just before pressing that button]

shes from even lower

Re: text

[whizbangs]

[the last line is a surprise, and carol doesn't really know how to respond, how much is too much here. she settles for--]

Lower is worse?

Re: text

[badbreak]

[fear clenches his throat, and Badou thinks of Nill, of the way that nervous blond boy had shook hard enough to see on camera, and especially of dark, huge fucking monsters and hefellintoaslaughterhouse]

yeah

Re: text

[whizbangs]

[it makes a kind of sense; she remembers badou, hit by a car, still with the bald-faced audacity to curse out the entire network just for being there. nill, wandering lost down an unfamiliar street, stopping to help a stranger without asking anything in return.

lily, curled up on the grass and screaming in terror.]

She asked me something strange when I found her
Wanted to know if this was real
A simulation I think was the word she used

Re: text

[badbreak]

i dont know

[he has his hunches, of course, and very educated guesses -- I'm just a dog Heine had told him, and he intends to find out exactly what that means]

Re: text

[whizbangs]

Ok
Anyway I'll go ask her

Re: text

[badbreak]

dont mention me

Re: text

[whizbangs]

[twenty minutes pass, and then--]

She won't talk about it

Re: text

[badbreak]

keep asking

Re: text

[whizbangs]

She started crying, badou
It took me this long to try and calm her down

Re: text

[badbreak]

ask when she shuts up

Re: text

[whizbangs]

I'm not gonna make her cry again
I think she's already traumatized enough

Re: text

[badbreak]

[he knows she's right; it's fucked up, to push her even as much as he's already told Carol to do so]

[(but, but -- )]

fine

Re: text

[whizbangs]

Sorry

[because she doesn't -- like not being able to help him.]

Her brothers have them too
Don't they

Re: text

[badbreak]

yeah
they probably aint
real related

Re: text

[badbreak]

kids that get took
end up like that
its different than being
on the street
cuz ur usually locked somewhere

Re: text

[whizbangs]

They get experimented on

[it's not so much a question, because the answer is already obvious. it's awful, and it's awful how much badou knows about this, being as young as he is.]

Re: text

[badbreak]

yeah

Re: text

[whizbangs]

Nothing like that ever happened to you?

[dangerous to ask, maybe, but she has to hear it straight from him, has to.]

Re: text

[badbreak]

no
i was lucky
n then i wasnt good 2 use

Re: text

[whizbangs]

[--wasn't good to use]

Good
That it didn't I mean

[not that he wasn't good to use.

she feels sick.]

Re: text

[badbreak]

[he thinks about Nill, even (for a brief moment) thinks about telling Carol about Nill, but -- she's having a nice time, he thinks, with people not knowing at first glance what she's done and what she was made for]

i guess

Re: text

[whizbangs]

She seems to like me a lot
Lily
Maybe eventually she'll tell me on her own

Re: text

[badbreak]

she aint calling the shots
but w/e maybe shell fuck up

Re: text

[whizbangs]

[...ah]

That kid heine weirds me out
