Now this is...promising.

I don't expect we're able to direct calls to those of our choosing?

I told you, we can't control it from this side. You literally just popped up on my computer.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Convenient of the Admiral, though I can't see the point of it. Shall I convey a message to your other self for you?

[ichoosefight]

Nah, that's okay. If she's graduated I think I've meddled in her life enough.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Kind and considerate of you. I'd hardly expect that behavior from her.

[ichoosefight]

That seems a little harsh.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Whatever led you to believe I wasn't a harsh person?

[ichoosefight]

Seeing as how I just met you, I'd have to say "because it's socially expected?"

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I rarely do anything socially expected of me. I believe your counterpart would say the same of herself.

[ichoosefight]

Can't argue with that. You two really aren't getting along?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

We don't see eye to eye on an incredible number of things.

[ichoosefight]

Hum. Let me guess. Can't agree on a lesson plan?

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Precisely. Among other things.

[ichoosefight]

Been there, done that. My experience is that plans don't tend to pan out on the barge.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Neither hers, nor mine.

A pity.

[ichoosefight]

All the more reason to get the heck out of Dodge, I say.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

If only it were that simple.

[ichoosefight]

Nothing ever is.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

What do you believe is the next course of action?

[ichoosefight]

Me? I would wait it out. As awful as some of the crap that happens on that ship is, sometimes you really do learn from it. I think something like five people graduated after we got out of Silent Hill.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

So in order to graduate, first I must be made to suffer.

I wonder if this is meant to humble me.

[ichoosefight]

Could be. [ From her tone she doesn't think much of this theory. ]

Or else it's just meant to destroy you.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

This would not be the first time others have tried to break me down to nothing.

[ichoosefight]

Well, here's hoping you make it. Not a lot of people graduated in all the time I was there.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I'll make it.

I only need..quite a large amount of time. And your counterpart's backing.

[ichoosefight]

Well, good luck. You'll have at least one of those things, I'm sure.
