Well, I wouldn't go that far, my young friend.

[standingonmyneck]

Gale, I just posted a rat video on the network.

I’m at least probably questionable.

[netherese]

Questionable does seem a good compromise, yes. Too long at sea, I suppose.

[standingonmyneck]

That must be it. That’s a hundred percent it.

Never thought being a hermit would actually get to me like this.

[Its happened. Once.]

[netherese]

Or perhaps it's simply been an exceptionally dull afternoon, hm?

[You're not completely gone yet, Daria. It's a Singular Incident.]

[standingonmyneck]

Weird, I don't usually have a problem with those. But I guess after years of adventures, maybe that means I'm changing too.

And that's a little annoying.

[netherese]

Life is change, my young friend, for better or for worse. We are none of us standing still eternally.

[standingonmyneck]

Yeah that's how it's basically been for...well over six years now especially. With all of this world dimension jumping I've done.

I still can't believe I got infected with this tiniest sense of boredom, though. It's better that than going out there and getting killed.

[netherese]

You really have been on quite a journey, haven't you? I've been between planes before, but this world is unattached to any I've known. You've been through quite a few, from the sounds of it.

Now, now, it happens to the best of us, regardless of our brilliance. You're safe, at the very least.

[standingonmyneck]

[our brilliance]

Enough of them to realize you have a point. Counting my blessings I do have my life, including my head.

Fine, I concede. I'm not insane.

[netherese]

There we go, that's more like it!

Besides, I prefer the term 'whimsical' to 'insane.'

[standingonmyneck]

You probably also think the glass is half full too.

[netherese]

Admittedly, I do tend to lean that way, yes.
