You know, in a way it's almost nice to get some time to oneself. For instance, time away from friends who have no sense of personal boundaries, or to reflect upon the alarming alacrity with which one has adjusted to life in an alternate dimension.

What's actually nicer, of course, is making a conscious decision to spend time alone, and likewise, having the option to return to spending time with other people when one wishes to. Though, of course, that's hardly a new complaint here, is it? After all, the very fact that we're even here to begin with is a constant reminder of exactly how much free will we have, the extent to which we're actually in control of our situation...

It can be easy to forget, after going unaffected for a while, what the City is capable of. Which isn't to say that this is the worst, by any means, but... well, as I said, it does grant one some time to reflect upon things...

Well. At least there's only a few hours to go.

pfft personal boundaries are overrated, wilson.

[thenormalsquint]

Tell me about the forgetting part. I got tricked into thinking I was getting away with murder for the first month I was here.

HE BEGS TO DIFFER. and yet... still hangs out with house. >.>

[dr_conscience]

You know... I can't help but ask if that's meant as a figure of speech.

that's because wilson secretly likes it.

[thenormalsquint]

Definite figure of speech. I'm too chicken to even kill a bug.

it's not a very well-kept secret.

[dr_conscience]

Oh... well, good.

I'm sorry, it's just-- well, the City can make it necessary to ask. There was that curse that drove a large portion of the population to kill another portion of the population, after all.

[thenormalsquint]

Wait, what? You're kidding me.

[as_damaged]

I guess you could look at it as an opportunity.

[dr_conscience]

An opportunity to spend some quiet time alone?

...I have to admit, it does have its upsides.

[as_damaged]

You could always do something wild. Graffiti all the buildings.

[dr_conscience]

I have to admit, I'm just a bit surprised to hear that coming from you.

Though frankly, if I was really going to do something wild, I think I could go much farther than graffiti.

[as_damaged]

Smash windows? T.P. the carousel?

[sleepyseer.livejournal.com]

Not you too.

[dr_conscience]

Don't worry... I'm fine. Really.

[sleepyseer.livejournal.com]

And contemplating a life of crime, it seems.

[dr_conscience]

A life of-- oh, that?

...you can't have taken that seriously.

She finds it kind of hot, Wilson. Roll with it.

[sleepyseer.livejournal.com]

I never knew you had such destructive impulses in you.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

You're talking to yourself.

[dr_conscience]

... funny, the Network seems fairly intact to me.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I mean, the post sounds like you're talking to yourself. And rambling.

[dr_conscience]

Probably because there isn't much else for me to do right now.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Reach any conclusions?

[suicideslowly]

I can't tell if you meant to post this to the Network or not.

[dr_conscience]

Well, I did, though... to be honest, I think it got a bit away from me there.

[suicideslowly]

I'm glad that more and more people are finding it to be 'almost' nice. Wouldn't want some perfectly interesting people to suddenly find new lives being hermits.

[dr_conscience]

I wouldn't worry about the curse inspiring much in the way of that... this empty version of the City is a bit much; and, personally, I firmly believe that even the most antisocial individuals still need other people, to some extent.
