[OPEN] KOMESH: PANIC

[absentultima]

Panic is something you can definitely do. In fact you have been doing that since Chrysi told you that THE WORLD IS ENDING, according to Merzet. It corroborates with Merzet's distress earlier and you have no reason to doubt either of them. This is COMPLETELY TERRIFYING, though you feel like you might have FORGOTTEN SOMETHING in your sheer panic.

Your hive is a little bit of a mess from your outburst, and part of your precious pile of pretty stones is on the other side of the room. You throw another at the wall just for good measure, because the computer isn't turning on quickly enough for your tastes and it's better than destroying something that can't just be put back in its place later.

You need to talk with Eric and Sparks and Nikkal and you need to talk with them all NOW. Who knows when this ending is going to go down? What if they're already-- Oh god, you're definitely panicking. You can't even focus enough to decide who to contact first. This is not a good day! How will you even say what you need to say?!

Oh, trollian finally started up.

[absentultima]

[archimime]

[absentultima]

/\/\∧ybe y0u w∧nt /\/\e f0cused 0nly 0n y0u ∧g∧in.
0r t0 kn0w th∧t when y0u irrit∧te /\/\e th∧t it's ∧ll y0u.
0r /\/\∧ybe y0u're d0ing it ∧s ∧ subtle insult.
it /\/\ight even be sincere!

[archimime]

you realize you're confusing yourself without my help at all, don't you?

[absentultima]

i w0uldn't h∧ve t0 c0nsider ∧ll the p0ssible 0pti0ns if i c0uld figure y0u 0ut!
y0u're ∧n enig/\/\∧!
i just w∧nt t0 get inside y0u!
i w∧nt t0 figure 0ut h0w y0u w0rk.
wh0 y0u ∧re.
wh∧t /\/\∧kes y0u ∧ct the w∧ y0u d0.

[archimime]

"inside you";

[absentultima]

0h.
i /\/\issp0ke.
i /\/\e∧nt inside y0ur he∧d, 0r h0wever the /\/\et∧ph0r g0es.

[archimime]

to call freudian slip or to let you off this time, i really can't decide;

[absentultima]

y0u're using w0rds i d0n't kn0w ∧g∧in.

[archimime]

some would suggest you said "inside you" because it is what you actually meant; it is what you're actually interested in; while it wasn't what you wanted to say, it was true to your heart; that, my dear, is a "freudian slip";

[absentultima]

why w0uld i w∧nt t0 get inside y0u?
w0uldn't th∧t kill y0u?
i d0n't w∧nt y0u de∧d ∧t ∧ll!
besides, there's n0thing useful 0r fun ∧b0ut ∧ de∧d b0dy.
well, /\/\∧ybe ∧s b∧it, but th∧t gives the l0c∧l se∧life ∧n unf0rtun∧te t∧ste f0r tr0llflesh ∧nd /\/\∧kes swi/\/\/\/\ing /\/\0re d∧nger0us th∧n it ∧lre∧dy is.

It doesn't occur to you to think of that in a sexual way at all, as you've never read past the kissing in even your most torrid novel, and actually have only the vaguest idea how it works.

[archimime]

are you actually suggesting you're "big" enough to murder me upon penetration? dear god; someone has an ego on them, snuggly placed in their front pocket;

[absentultima]

wh∧t?
cutting y0u.
y0u kn0w.
i think we're h∧ving tw0 very different c0nvers∧ti0ns right n0w.
wh∧t ∧re y0u t∧lking ∞b0ut?

[archimime]

your dick, apparently;

idle for about 15 minutes or so

[absentultima]

absentUltima [AU] has gone idle.

i w∧sn't t∧lking ∧b0ut th∧t!
i've never even th0ught ∧b0ut th∧t... kind 0f thing!
/\/\∧ybe kissing.
but 0nly ∧ little!

no big, Sparks has other irons in the fire

[archimime]

hmmm?
if you say so;
[THE EMPEROR remains unconvinced; LIGHTS are a faint yellow to indicate confusion and uncertainty;]

butbut Komesh wants to be his iron-- hahaha

[absentultima]

fine!
/\/\∧ybe 0nce!
but th∧t w∧s /\/\0re 0f ∧ dre∧/\/\!
i skip 0ver th0se p∧rts in the n0vels bec∧use they're re∧lly e/\/\b∧rr∧ssing.
∧nd isn't th∧t s0/\/\ething th∧t 0nly h∧ppens with c0/\/\/\/\itted c0uples wh0 re∧lly trust e∧ch 0ther, ∧nyw∧y?

[k0/\/\esh will n0t st∧nd t0 be th0ught 0f ∧s s0/\/\e0ne wh0 thinks 0nly ∧b0ut such lewd things! He st∧nds t∧ll ∧nd str∧ght, /\/\eeting the i/\/\peri∧l g∧ze t0 pr0ve his sincerity!]

[THE EMPEROR sees no reason to acknowledge his UNGRATEFUL GUEST if he cannot assume the right position;]

[absentultima]

[k0/\/\esh will +n0t+ be ign0red ∧nd he will use f0rce if he /\/\ust t0 be ∧ckn0wledged.]

[he b∧res his teeth ∧nd sweeps f0rw∧rd t0 f0rce the e/\/\per0r ∧g∧inst the w∧ll!]

[archimime]

i will do no such thing!
[quickly, THE EMPEROR moves STAGE LEFT in an attempt to avoid any uncomfortable wallage from the YOUNG RAPSCALLION;]

[absentultima]

[k0/\/\esh will pursue even /\/\0re quickly ∧nd drive the e/\/\per0r t0 the fl00r if need be!]

y0u will! i ∧/\/\ n0t s0 f∧r bel0w y0u th∧t i h∧ve n0 redress ∧t ∧ll!
