Mm.

[He takes a slow breath and leans back against the wall, turning his head to press the un-bloodied side of his face against it.]

...My head hurts.

Day 4

[lionsleeps]

He knows.

Day 4 1/3

[eggshell]

I read this book once. Maybe it was when I lived here. Maybe it was in the Herta Space Station. Maybe it was on some aeons forsaken planet with that horrible chewy tea.

2/4 I lied

[eggshell]

There was a story in it. A passage that I found very compelling, that I had memorized it. I would like to share it with you, my cute little successor.

3/4

[eggshell]

And I quote:

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

[eggshell]

The memory just came to mind, like a parasite. Curious, is it not?

Re: Day 4

[lifeban]

Thank you for the warning.

[lifeban]

[there are like

five minutes where dan heng gets the fuck back inside, but then:]

Can you not just say you're jealous like a normal person?

Re: Day 4

[lionsleeps]

I'm not hurt, and I think I convinced him not to attack you too viciously, at least. Stay safe anyway.

I also told Blade, but he isn't so upset about it.

[eggshell]

No. Kafka says the presentation matters.

[he’s already dreaming about being in your walls, you little fucker. don’t hide!]

[lifeban]

[HIDING.]

Oh, right, Stellaron Hunter.

Re: Day 4

[lifeban]

It's strange to feel less threatened by Blade.

But that's pretty much what I anticipated, yes.

[eggshell]

How do you know them, anyway?

Re: Day 4

[lionsleeps]

He knows he'll outlast me.

Re: Day 4

[lifeban]

[there's a pause]

Should we discuss that?

[lifeban]

Blade is one.

Re: Day 4

[lionsleeps]

Do you want to? I'm afraid I've tuned out that particular problem for so long it didn't occur to me that it warranted discussion.

[eggshell]

Quaint. Does he know about your little dalliance?

[lifeban]

[bitch,]

He also knows about my relationship with Jing Yuan, yes.

[eggshell]

[come out and fight me!!!!!]

When did this happen? You were so virginally shy when I was in your bed.

Re: Day 4

[lifeban]

It doesn't have to be right now.

But I would like to know about the things that weigh on you.

[lifeban]

[maybe later, his head fucking hurts for some reason]

As if you weren't.

[eggshell]

[there is a markedly long time between this reply and the others, because dan feng read what he sent and then proceeded to lie down in his room with the lights off and regret this week’s life choices.]

You are such a petulant little brat.

[lifeban]

I see no reason not to be, when my elder is immature first.

1/2

[eggshell]

I know you know what I want to say. However, our adorable little General has laid out a truce that I find agreeable, so unfortunately, I must refrain. For now.
