Galu, network. Random request: tell me a story.

Any story! Tell me about something that happened to you, or the other you. Or a fairytale, a joke that requires setup, something you read about in the paper, something you want to happen or really, really don't. Let me guess which one it is. I can tell you one, or a poem, or play you something from a dystopian future.

Yeah, I got the password to the other me's smartphone. It's got a lot of weird nonhuman future-music on it, and a couple of movies that haven't come out here yet. Seems like the library's got corrupted somehow, but there's still stuff there.

[Mrrrr...]

So it wasn't good enough?

[espigeonage]

I don't know, yet. But I'm worried that if I get more like him and start wanting to be more violent, it won't be good enough.

[allformii_ko]

If you try to be good even though you're violent, that's good enough, isn't it?

[She still doesn't see much of a problem with violence herself; people just keep telling her that hurting things is bad.]

[espigeonage]

It's a start, but it's not enough. Or I don't think so, anyway.

[allformii_ko]

You can't just try harder?

[espigeonage]

That would help, I guess. I haven't had to, yet.

[allformii_ko]

Then when you do, that's what you should do.

[Simple!]
