It is not what I needto do.

*And, lets be honest, he doesn't understand much beyond what he believes he needs to do.*

[eclecticbassist]

What do you need to do?

[ Wouldn't we all like to know. ]

[0thingsonmymind]

Find the ark.

*Well, and make Alex pay, but he's not here anymore. If he ever returns, though.*

[eclecticbassist]

[ Heeere we go. They could totally bond over having Vitally Important goals that they couldn't hope to explain. ]

Um, what's that?

[0thingsonmymind]

The ark is ALL. Itis every thing--answers, safety, every thing. The most--the only--the most impor tant.

*He's still pretty crap at emoting while speaking but its obvious this topic is something he's very passionate--such as it is--about.*

[eclecticbassist]

Ah, I see.

[ The words themselves don't make a whole lot of sense, but his attempt at a tone speaks for itself. ]

Don't strain yourself, okay? Shh.

[0thingsonmymind]

*He shakes his head.*

It is okay if I am hurt. If I die. I might have. As long as some one--Tim or Tim or may be...no, if some one can reach it, itis worth it.

*He'd like to find it himself, but if he helps someone get there then at least his life wasn't wasted.*

[eclecticbassist]

[ She nods in understanding; that's exactly how she feels about winning Sburb with her friends, and the idea of anyone else feeling that expendable makes her stomach drop. ]

Just... don't go out of your way to endanger yourself. Oh-- and, uh, did you say 'Tim'? Is that a friend of yours?

[0thingsonmymind]

I will do whati need to do.

*He cants his head.*

Tim is....

*One is his friend, the other...he doesn't know. Even being compelled to speak doesn't give him the words he needs.*

...some thing

[eclecticbassist]

Hehe, at a loss for words?

[ It's not that funny, but hearing such a casual turn of phrase from a total weirdo someone like Brian tickles her a little. ]

I feel that way about my friends sometimes. [ ...by which she means her friends are a bunch of nerds, not that they have alternate personalities with affinities for masks. ]

[0thingsonmymind]

*He cants his head to the other side and regards her for a few moments.*

You are not sure if friends?

[eclecticbassist]

Oh, I just meant that they can be pretty weird-- of course we're friends! I would never doubt that, and I know they feel the same way!

[ Absolutely no doubt in her mind. No-siree-bob. Even though they haven't spoken in over three years, Rose and Dave are still her best friends. And John -- this new, not-exploded John -- would never be a melodramatic douche about, say, her failed relationships. Everything is fine. ]

[0thingsonmymind]

So ifyou are friends you
know?

[eclecticbassist]

Well, no-- not necessarily. Sometimes you only think someone is your friend, and they don't actually care about you at all. I am just lucky to have really good ones back, um, 'home'.

[0thingsonmymind]

How canyou know?

*He might be asking for both good and bad reasons, here.*

[eclecticbassist]

Well, it is impossible to know for sure. But if you're good at telling if someone is lying, that is basically the same thing; trust is really important in friendship!

[0thingsonmymind]

You haveto trust to be fri ends?

[eclecticbassist]

Of course! At least, as much as possible-- some people are less trusting because of something that happened to them, and that's okay. Even if your head can't help being wary, it's wanting to think the best of someone that counts.

[0thingsonmymind]

So then...

*He could use this. Maybe that's an easier way to deal with all this 'friend' stuff. If he can just get the people who already think it to leave him alone so he can ignore it.*

...I donot know.

[eclecticbassist]

What do you mean; are you not sure if you have friends, or confused about something I said?

[ Has she gotten through to him??? ]

[0thingsonmymind]

*He shakes his head.*

Iam not sure. It is a lot of infor mati on. I donot think I under stand how I can use it.

[eclecticbassist]

I do not think this is the kind of information you really 'use', but it is a lot to take in. Hehe.

[ What an odd sentiment. Maybe he's just confused. ]

Don't worry about understanding it all at once, people are complicated and weird even when they're honest.

[0thingsonmymind]

*He nods to that!*

I donot under stand peo ple. Nor mal people.

[eclecticbassist]

[ It's not just a little chuckle; she really laughs. ]

Pfhehehe, me neither! I just put a lot of effort in trying to.

[0thingsonmymind]

*He cants his head.*

Why?
