CRM: So LoUD HERE!!!

CRM closed memo.

You come apart again, as you have since you found out that she... You have never liked the way you lose time before, but you're thankful for it now. You get the feeling the blank spots are getting bigger and bigger when you wake up out of sight of the nearest town only to fall away again a moment later. And all through it there's chatter, familiar voices and people you feel like you've known for sweeps. You take to hiding from them when they get especially loud.

Eventually they leave you alone again and you're left in the quiet, isolated black in your mind.

HOURS IN THE FUTURE BUT NOT MANY, you return to yourself. Or rather. You rise to the front, leaving the cluttered mess of your mind behind you for a moment. You have things you need to attend to in the outside world. People who need to be informed. It takes you another hour to walk back to the nearest town, and you ache by the time you settle into a corner and open your husktop. The heat has done this body no favors at all.

She is our empress thats right~
She has ruled us for thousands of sweeps~

whAt's A sweep??
or rAther, how long Is It?? cAuse It's obvIously some meAsurement for tIme for you guys

...

A sweep is the time it takes alternia to circle its sun~
Do you not have a similar concept?

we do, but It's cAlled A yeAr!

Ah~
Huhuhu~
What an odd term!
And how curious that we share the concept~
But not the word~

hehe, well, I thInk It's A necessAry concept!!
Any culture needs It to defIne the reoccurence of seAsons And the lIke, even before they fInd out the logIstIcs And scIentIfIc hows And whys!
so It's not thAt surprIsIng, but It's stIll nIce to hAve A pArAllel lIke thIs
//ouo
honestly I wonder how we cAn even understAnd eAch other At All beIng from dIfferent plAnets
thAt's A lot more surprIsIng to me!

Well yes that too~
But it seems like whatevers translating us would extend to simple concepts like that~
Dont you think?
Its all terribly curious~

mAybe.. I meAn, I've heArd A lot of words from trolls thAt hAven't mAde much sense to me so cleArly It doesn't trAnslAte everythIng
perhAps only thIngs thAt Are properly AnAlogous!
sInce I don't know how long A sweep Is exActly, your plAnet could need longer or shorter thAn ours to come full cIrcle

Oh~

You hadn't even thought of that...

How curious~
Perhaps that's true~
How old are you dear~
In human terms~

15 yeArs!
thAt's In thAt Inbetween spAce between beIng lIttle And beIng grown-up
whAt About you, In troll-terms?

Nine sweeps~
Which is around the time we are given assignment~
And sent to space~
Usually when we're considered adults~

ooooh..
we're consIdered Adults when we're eIghteen yeArs old!
so mAybe A sweep Is lIke two yeArs??
why Are you sent to spAce..?

That seems reasonable~
Were sent to serve in expanding the empire of course~

oh, okAy..
so you go And conquer plAces?

I dont~
But we as a species do yes~
The unfortunate prerogative of our Empress I'm afraid~

why don't you??
I meAn, not to Imply you should or should wAnt to becAuse tAkIng over plAces Isn't reAlly A good thIng but just.. curIous!
If It's not too personAl..

I had things to attend to planetside~
Besides my dear~
The world has ended~
It hardly matters anymore~

..true....

...

Is something wrong dear~

..the world ended
I meAn, both our worlds
If thAt's not "wrong" I don't know whAt would be
I meAn, our world wAsn't All good or AnythIng
but A lot of people stIll dIed

Ah~
Yes~

...

A friend of mine tells me that that only means we must try our best~
For all the people who died~

but they're deAd.. ..
I meAn
so.. I dunno whAt they stIll hAve to do wIth AnythIng

Perhaps nothing~
If it gives you comfort to think of it like that~
Then you should my dear~

You're not so sure if there's much of any comfort to be had in your situation.

I guess..
I meAn I'm not reAlly sure how thAt wAy of thInkIng works I suppose
when I thInk About the people who dIed I just get sAd

Only sad~
It doesn't give you any drive to keep living?
