- -- restlessPipes [RP] began trolling absoluteAltitude [AA] at 13:47 --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] finds it strange, being dead. Actually, scratch that out. He doesn't feel anything. He lets his feet guide him and he winds up at Paloma's hive. With his new ghosty powers he flies up, opens a window. Whatever. He'll just follow whatever his ghosty whims wants him to go. --
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] is sitting at her desk, alone for once. --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] heads down the hallway, examining the hive. It's the same as usual. Yawn. He pauses at the doorway. Well, look who we have here. --
- RP: }{ell0.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] whirls to face the familiar voice, and /falls out of her chair/ from the force of the action. --
- AA: <\ R, Ranigi! />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] has his hood up, his clothes are tattered, but other than his dead eyes he looks perfectly a-ok. --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] speaks in a flat voice. --
- RP: Y0u seem l0nely.
- AA: <\ Oh god... Ranigi! />
- RP: Yes? D0 y0u need s0met}{ing? 0r d0 y0u like saying my name?
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] stares at him from the floor, wide-eyed. --
- AA: <\ Have you come to punish me again?! />
- RP: Again?
- RP: 0}{.
- RP: Y0ur }{and. I remember n0w.
- RP: I'm s0rry ab0ut t}{at.
- RP: W}{y d0 y0u t}{ink I'm }{ere t0 punis}{ y0u? Is it because I'm dead?
- -- restlessPipes [RP] squats to stare at her. --
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] backs up a little until she hits the desk, raising her hand in front of her protectively. --
- AA: <\ I... I... />
- AA: <\ I got you killed! I know it, okay?! />
- -- restlessPipes's [RP'S] face doesn't change one bit. --
- RP: Yes. Y0u did.
- RP: I supp0se I w0uld be mad if I remembered }{0w t0.
- RP: 0}{ well.
- AA: <\ But, but I... but you.. />
- RP: But I'm dead.
- RP: Excuse me.
- -- restlessPipes [RP] stands up, swishes his cape, speaking in the same deadpan voice. --
- RP: 0000.
- RP: I'm a g}{0st.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] just sort of stares at him. --
- RP: It is a j0ke, br00dsister.
- RP: I'm dead. But I can still make j0kes.
- AA: <\ I... />
- AA: <\ You... you're not... are you going to haunt me? />
- RP: N0.
- RP: I'll }{aunt y0u.

- AA: <\ ... />
- AA: <\ I, I see... />
- RP: D0 y0u kn0w w}{at it's like t0 be dead?
- AA: <\ ... I guess this is what I get, for, for setting my friends up for death. />
- RP: I d0n't care.
- AA: <\ ... />
- AA: <\ ... that's almost worse than platonic hatred... />
- RP: D0 y0u want me t0 }{ate y0u?
- RP: I can try t}{at.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] shakes her head. --
- RP: T}{0ug}{ mustering up t}{e energy and em0ti0n t0 d0 s0 w0uld be difficult.
- AA: <\ I... I don't know what I want. />
- RP: T}{at is a s}{ame.
- RP: I t}{ink I can relate.
- RP: I w0uld emp}{asize if I wasn't an unfeeling, dead tr0ll.
- AA: <\ ... I'm sorry, Ranigi... />
- RP: W}{y are y0u s0rry?
- AA: <\ ... for getting you killed. />
- RP: 0}{. Rig}{t.
- RP: Alm0st f0rg0t ab0ut t}{at.
- RP: It was quite painful.
- RP: N0t as }{er0ic as I w0uld }{ave liked.
- AA: <\ What... what happened...? />
- RP: It was n0t muc}{. }{e merely impaled my arms wit}{ my sw0rds, crus}{ed my b0nes and lungs, p0ured acid and c}{emicals up0n me f0r me t0 sl0wly blister and r0t in t}{e sun.
- RP: T0 be }{0nest, I d0n't care.

- AA: <\ Oh god... all that because of me... />
- RP: Are y0u disturbed 0r distressed?
- RP: Y0u seem very muc}{ s0
- RP: *.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] is obviously distressed! --
- -- restlessPipes [RP] tilts his head. He's forgotten how to emotion! --
- AA: <\ I... I'm sorry, Ranigi, really I am... />
- RP: Y0u keep ap0l0gizing. W}{y?
- RP: I }{ave already stated t}{at I d0n't care.
- RP: Dead tr0lls cann0t care.
- AA: <\ ... but I care... />
- RP: ... and?
- AA: <\ ... and I wish you weren't dead! I wish I hadn't... />
- RP: But y0u did. And it was d0ne.
- RP: It is all rig}{t. Apparently I aggravated a l0t 0f tr0lls.
- RP: It is better t}{at I am dead.
- AA: <\ I... />
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] looks away. --
- AA: <\ Is there nothing I can do for you now? />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] is now an idle chum! --
- RP: W}{y d0 y0u ask?
- AA: <\ ... I'm guilty, isn't it obvious...? />
- RP: And s0 y0u wis}{ t0 make amends.
- RP: I d0 n0t kn0w.
- RP: I d0n't t}{ink I want anyt}{ing anym0re.
- AA: <\ ... />
- AA: <\ Why... why did it have to be like this..? />
- RP: It is all fated.
- RP: D0 n0t give y0urself all t}{e credit.
- AA: <\ ... heh... />
- AA: <\ Fate did this...? />
- RP: It is all part 0f 0ur r0les.
- RP: Per}{aps we were meant t0 be miserable.
- RP: It is n0t unlikely.
- AA: <\ ... well... I'm sorry. />
- AA: <\ That's all I can say at this point... />
- RP: I d0 n0t mind being dead.
- RP: It is n0t t00 bad.
- RP: But I will accept y0ur ap0l0gy. T}{at is w}{at y0u want, am I rig}{t?
- AA: <\ I... />
- AA: <\ I want you to be alive again. I want this whole mess to go away. />
- RP: }{mm. I supp0se being alive w0uld be c0nsidered a g00d t}{ing.
- RP: And t}{is mess will c0ntinue, m0st likely.
- RP: We are all t00 em0ti0nal.
- RP: T}{at was 0ur fault.
- AA: <\ ... if I stopped being so emotional... do you think things would get better? />
- RP: I cann0t say.
- RP: If y0u want t0 try it, y0u are free t0.
- RP: But t}{at w0uld still leave 0ur 0t}{er friends.
- RP: T}{ey w0uld still be a pr0blem, d0n't y0u t}{ink?
- AA: <\ I guess... />
- RP: Y0u seem t0 be }{aving a }{ard time.
- RP: T}{at's very interesting.
- RP: 0r, I w0uld be interested if I }{ad t}{e energy.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] sighs. --
- AA: <\ I'm sorry, I... I can't deal with you right now. />
- RP: I am 0kay wit}{ t}{at.
- RP: Many tr0lls will m0st likely want me g0ne.
- RP: Again.
- RP: I will m0ve 0n.
- AA: <\ No, it's not that..! />
- AA: <\ I... I just... />
- AA: <\ ... you were always so passionate, and now... />
- RP: And n0w I am like a r0ck, dead and still and 0verall unc0nversati0nal.
- RP: I was quite r0ck-like by t}{e time I died.
- RP: Rig0r m0rtis, y0u see.
- AA: <\ I... />
- RP: It is an0t}{er attempt at a j0ke.
- RP: I w0uld be laug}{ing, but I'm dead.

- AA: <\ Ahaha...ha... />
- RP: 0}{. I t}{ink I get it.
- RP: Y0u are regretful.
- AA: <\ ... yeah. />
- RP: Y0u will wall0w in it, w0n't y0u?
- AA: <\ Heh... I guess so... />
- AA: <\ What else can I do? />
- RP: Many t}{ings. Y0u c0uld c}{atter 0n ab0ut it, y0u c0uld write passi0nate p0etry, y0u c0uld cry 0ut y0ur grief and kill y0urself tragically.
- RP: 0r y0u c0uld turn t0 vi0lence.
- RP: I c0uld g0 0n.
- RP: But t}{at is w}{at m0st tr0lls seem t0 d0.
- RP: Fr0m my 0bservati0ns.
- AA: <\ Ranigi... />
- RP: }{ell0.

- RP: Did I say s0met}{ing wr0ng?
- AA: <\ No, it's just... I... />
- AA: <\ Oh god... Ranigi... you were my friend... />
- RP: I still t}{0ug}{t 0f y0u as my friend, even w}{en I was dying.
- RP: If t}{at is any c0mf0rt.
- AA: <\ Maybe we weren't on the same side, but... but I still wanted to be your friend... and then I... />
- AA: <\ ... I don't deserve it! />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] sits down, cross-legged. He rests his chin in his hands, his expression never changing. --
- RP: Y0u are still my friend.
- AA: <\ But, Ranigi, I killed you! />
- RP: Yes. Y0u did.
- RP: My feelings ab0ut t}{is is very interesting.
- RP: If I were n0t dead, I w0uld }{ave a cl0ser l00k at t}{em.
- RP: But I am. 0}{ well.
- AA: <\ ... how do... how did you feel? />
- RP: I was very scared. In muc}{ pain. I still t}{0ug}{t t}{at I was m0rally rig}{t. And I c0nsidered my painful deat}{ as a neccessary c0nsequence fr0m an ign0rant enemy.
- RP: But I remember pain, m0stly.
- RP: And t}{e sky.
- RP: And t}{inking ab0ut my lusus.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] bites at her lip. --
- RP: I wanted t0 meet }{im.
- RP: But g}{0sts d0 n0t w0rk t}{at way.
- RP: 0}{ well.
- AA: <\ I see... />
- AA: <\ I... I'm so sorry, Ranigi. />
- RP: Y0u c0ntinue t0 ap0l0gize.
- RP: Are y0u s0 sad?
- AA: <\ Of, of course I'm sad... />
- RP: T}{at is t0 be expected.
- RP: But y0u will st0p being sad.
- RP: T}{at is }{0w it will g0.
- AA: <\ I... />
- AA: <\ If I stop being sad, won't it mean I've just taken your life for nothing...? />
- RP: Y0u will m0ve 0n.
- RP: It is inevitable.
- RP: Per}{aps my deat}{ will be meaningless.
- RP: I d0 n0t care.
- AA: <\ But that's so sad... />
- RP: It is.
- RP: But t}{ere are many sad deat}{s.
- RP: It is n0t unc0mm0n.
- AA: <\ It doesn't make you any less important...! />
- RP: T}{at is a nice t}{0ug}{t.
- RP: But I was never imp0rtant t0 begin wit}{.
- AA: <\ You, you were! You were my friend! />
- RP: 0}{.
- RP: T}{at makes me m0re imp0rtant t}{an 0t}{er tr0lls?
- AA: <\ All of my friends are important to me! />
- RP: But it is n0t fair t0 t}{e 0t}{er tr0lls w}{0 died like me.
- AA: <\ But... />
- RP: T}{ey were n0t y0ur friends. S0 I supp0se t}{ey were n0t imp0rtant, if t}{at is w}{at y0u are implying.
- AA: <\ No! I just... />
- RP: Yes?
- RP: Y0u seem t0 }{ave tr0uble speaking w}{at is 0n y0ur mind.
- AA: <\ I... I can't care about every troll on Alternia, but I can at least care for all my friends! />
- RP: But t}{at d0es n0t make us m0re imp0rtant t}{an 0t}{er tr0lls.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] sighs. --
- AA: <\ Okay... />
- RP: Y0u seem very }{esitant in y0ur speec}{.
- RP: I d0 n0t mind if y0u speak trut}{fully.
- AA: <\ I, but I... />
- RP: I am dead. I cann0t be }{urt.
- -- absoluteAltitude's [AA'S] voice grows quieter. --
- AA: <\ The truth is that I'm... terrible. I trapped you, knowing that you'd take me up on my injustices. />
- RP: I kn0w.
- -- restlessPipes [RP] doesn't seem bothered one bit. --
- AA: <\ I had to know whether I was truly a scorpion... so, so I used you... />
- AA: <\ ... I used my dear friend... />
- AA: <\ ... I think the answer's clear as to what I truly am. />
- RP: I }{ave }{ad plenty 0f time t0 t}{ink.
- RP: And I kn0w.
- RP: I t}{ink I knew w}{en I was alive.
- RP: But I was very pr0ud.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] looks up at Ranigi, disbelief crossing her face. --
- AA: <\ You... you knew? />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] shrugs. --
- RP: T}{at is my c0nclusi0n.
- RP: I }{ave l00ked back 0n my past.
- AA: <\ And... what did you see..? />
- RP: It is reas0nable t0 say t}{at I willingly t}{rew myself int0 t}{is mess because I wanted t0 f0ll0w my rules. I t}{0ug}{t my rules w0uld make me a }{er0.
- RP: But it didn't. Because I am }{ere.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] sighs, shaking her head. --
- AA: <\ I, I knew what you'd do. If I were a good friend... if I deserved to be called a friend at all... I never would have told you a thing. />
- RP: But I w0uld }{ave f0und 0ut. I t}{ink I w0uld }{ave d0ne it anyway.
- RP: I was very ras}{.
- AA: <\ But the fact remains... I used you! Used your justice against you! Even, even though I knew it was stupid! />
- RP: I am 0kay wit}{ it.
- AA: <\ I'm not! />
- RP: I can see.
- RP: But y0u will rec0nciliate y0ur feelings.
- RP: Y0u will be 0kay.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] begins to cry, again - why is this crybaby always blubbering? Her breath hitches as the tears begin to flow. --
- AA: <\ I'm not okay with tearing everyone apart! I'm not okay with being the scorpion! />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] stares with a blank look. He scoots closer to her. --
- RP: Y0u d0 n0t seem like a sc0rpi0n t0 me.
- RP: Y0u are very tr0ll-like.
- AA: <\ ... maybe I'm a better troll than everyone thinks I am... />
- RP: Y0u d0 n0t }{ave t0 cry ab0ut it.
- RP: If I remember, being tr0ll-like is a pr0ud acc0mplis}{ment.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] sniffs, wiping her face on her sleeve. --
- AA: <\ For most trolls, maybe... />
- AA: <\ But I, I can't afford to be like that... />
- AA: <\ I'd let everyone down. />
- RP: I d0 n0t understand.
- RP: }{0w w0uld being tr0ll-like let 0t}{ers d0wn?
- -- restlessPipes [RP] 0_0 --
- AA: <\ Because, because I'm Paloma... I've gotta be a good friend. />
- AA: <\ Even if that makes me a bad troll... />
- RP: I d0 n0t understand.
- RP: Y0u are free t0 be w}{0 y0u want t0 be.
- RP: Wit}{in t}{e fate dictated t0 y0u.
- RP: Y0u are free t0 be as tr0ll-like as y0u wis}{.
- AA: <\ How... how do you know it isn't my fate to be this way? />
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] smiles, lacklustre. --
- RP: P0ssible.
- RP: But t}{at w0uld n0t b0de well f0r any 0f us.
- AA: <\ Hahahaha... />
- RP: We will all survive. S0 l0ng as we ad}{ere t0 fate.
- AA: <\ All this is fate, huh... />
- RP: Yes.
- RP: I t}{ink s0.
- AA: <\ ... so there's nothing I can do... />
- RP: T}{ere is n0 need t0 cry. It is n0t fully y0ur fault.

- RP: Y0u are }{esitating again.
- AA: <\ ... yeah. I, I guess I am. />
- RP: W}{y?
- AA: <\ What... what do I wish to do? Is it what I want to happen... or what I know will eventually happen...? />
- RP: I d0 n0t kn0w.

- AA: <\ ... />
- AA: <\ I guess I'll have to... />
- RP: Y0u d0n't seem }{appy t0 }{ear t}{at.
- RP: Y0u s}{0uld n0t fret.
- RP: We will all }{ave t0 make 0ur c}{0ices w}{en we enter.

- RP: Many t}{ings.
- AA: <\ Tell me. />
- RP: Tell y0u w}{at?
- AA: <\ Tell me what you know. />
- RP: My kn0wledge is vast, if b0rr0wed.
- RP: I cann0t }{0pe t0 relate t0 y0u all t}{at I kn0w in a single c0nversati0n, wit}{0ut specifics.
- AA: <\ ... then tell me about why you said we would enter this game. />
- RP: Because we will. We will enter t}{e game, int0 lands we }{ave never seen.
- AA: <\ What do you mean. />
- RP: We will leave Alternia.
- RP: It will die.
- RP: And we may die, t00. Bef0re 0r after entering. But we will still be alive.
- AA: <\ ... how is that possible? />
- RP: We must all die w}{en we enter t}{e game.
- RP: Per}{aps n0t during entry.
- RP: But 0ur deat}{s are certain in t}{e future.
- AA: <\ ... if we're all going to die... what's the point? />
- RP: We will acc0mplis}{ a missi0n greater t}{an 0urselves. T}{at is t}{e reas0n t0 0ur existences.
- RP: *reas0n f0r
- AA: <\ And what mission is that supposed to be? />
- RP: }{mm.
- RP: I cann0t tell y0u at t}{e m0ment.

- RP: It will }{ave t0 wait.

- AA: <\ ... />
- AA: <\ I... />
- RP: Yes?
- AA: <\ If I can stop this... maybe I can atone for being what I am... />
- RP: But w}{y w0uld y0u want t0 st0p y0ur deat}{?

- AA: <\ Not my death. Theirs. />

- AA: <\ Maybe I can't atone. Maybe I can't do anything. />
- RP: I d0 n0t t}{ink s0.

- AA: <\ I don't care! You, you can't just tell me all this and expect me to do nothing! Not when I have so much to make up for! />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] watches her with detatchment, his voice never changing from its flat monotone. --
- RP: Y0u are welc0me t0 try.

- AA: <\ Ranigi. />
- AA: <\ What would happen if we never entered the game at all? />
- RP: We will die.
- AA: <\ ... so there's only one choice. />
- RP: Yes.
- AA: <\ Okay. I can work with that. />
- AA: <\ Even, even if I am the scorpion... />
- RP: T0 be fair, many 0f us will welc0me 0ur deat}{s 0nce we enter t}{e game.
- RP: Y0u misinterpet y0ur r0le.
- AA: <\ Then what's my role, huh? To be a Lover? I'm not doing that very well. />
- RP: We }{ave all been fated t0 fulfill a r0le. In t}{e end, we will acc0mplis}{ it. Y0u are fulfilling y0ur r0le perfectly, w}{et}{er y0u agree 0r n0t.
- -- absoluteAltitude [AA] laughs, hollow. --
- AA: <\ Then my role must be ironic. />
- AA: <\ But that's all right. Even if I'm destined to tear everyone apart, I'm still going to try to save them...! />
- -- restlessPipes [RP] tilts his head. --

- RP: It is }{ard t0 care w}{en y0u're dead.
- AA: <\ ... then I'll have to care for you. />
- RP: T}{at is a nice t}{0ug}{t. Unneccessary. But nice.

- RP: I can n0 l0nger feel. I cann0t die again, t}{0ug}{ I m0st certainly c0uld die 0nce I enter t}{e game.
- RP: Feelings are an impediment t0 Justice
- RP: *.
- AA: <\ What, what do you mean, you could die when you entered the game? />
- RP: It is n0t an imp0rtant detail.
- AA: <\ It's important to me! What is this game which could kill someone who's already dead? />
- RP: A game 0f fates.
- AA: <\ A game of fates, huh... />
- AA: <\ I'll fight it. I'll fight it until everyone's safe. It's all I can do now. />

- AA: <\ This whole cyclone of revenge is focused around me. I've ruined a lot of lives. />
- AA: <\ It's easy to be resigned, knowing what I am. />

- AA: <\ But knowing this, I'm not going to just stand by and let it happen! />
- AA: <\ Even someone like me must be able to do something! />

- RP: Y0ur acti0ns are admirable, if futile.
- AA: <\ Even if they're futile... I have to try. I've done too much wrong to just leave this be. />
