... I don't know. That's why... How can I be sure that it's true, and not just an excuse people are spreading around? Or even worse, an excuse one of the others used?

[reconnective]

We don't. And without knowing the leaders responsible it's not like we can even ask. That's why it makes even less sense. Can't the six of you meet together and come to some kind of agreement or something?

[retellers]

We've been talking, but if the others have been doing that, they're not admitting to anything. And if it was for a good reason, wouldn't they?

[reconnective]

You'd think. Unless the Realm's telling them not to. Is that something that can happen? The Realm talking to only some of you and not everybody.

[retellers]

... It shouldn't... [ but she doesn't sound so sure and just. groans in annoyance ] Ughhhh, why does it have to be so complicated?

[reconnective]

Wars usually are. [no one said anything about a war, and yet.] I wonder if you can try talking to the Realm by yourself. See if it answers.

[retellers]

[ none icons for mobile, but swan flops a little ]

Ughhh. This better not really be a war. [ she's not ready for 10 people to fight in a parking lot ] At this point, I kind of have to at least try to talk to it to get some answers. We've lost a lot of people already...

[reconnective]

[throws zia home]

I hope not either. Not again. [he's so tired, please.] I bet if you try though, it'll tell you something. You just have to be open and listen with all your heart.

The Realm can't want this. There's no way.

[retellers]

What if I'm open and listen with all my heart and it still doesn't talk to me?

[reconnective]

Then you keep trying and maybe yell at it a little. [duh.]

[retellers]

[ ... she laughs ] Yell at it? You think that'll work?

[reconnective]

Why not? At least it'd get its attention, wouldn't it?

[retellers]

So, like... [ she sits up and moves away, to scream up at the heavens and not deafen him ] Hey, you! Listen to me already!!

[reconnective]

Yeah, like that! [he's going to lean back to also. yell at the realm.] You can't ignore us forever!

[retellers]

Hey! ANSWER ME! [ that probably sounded a little bit too real angy ]

[reconnective]

[he supports her anger and he just...seems to be waiting.]

...you think maybe it won't answer because I'm here?

[retellers]

Maybe? Also, it doesn't really talk like that.

[reconnective]

Oh yeah. The whole...weird thought thing where it talks in your head. Right?

[retellers]

Yeah. It's.......weird.

[ she got nothing else there. ]

[reconnective]

Kinda sounds uncomfortable. There's no other way to do it?

[retellers]

We get the PHS messages too, but that's about as helpful as it is for you guys...

[reconnective]

Do you guys get the same ones we do, too? Or are yours really different?

[retellers]

Well... We get the same creepy songs you guys do, and we get notified when you reach a new nova threshold...

[reconnective]

...so the creepy songs are just the Realm? Isn't it kind of weird that it seems like it has a personality?

[retellers]

I don't know. I hate those songs, it's like... creepy ghosts or something.
