[Mnemosyne]

If you were in another reality, do you think we could communicate as well as we are now?

[SmuttyReader]

Why wouldn't we?

[Mnemosyne]

Do you know how many barriers lie between this realm and the next?

[SmuttyReader]

How many?

[Mnemosyne]

Can you count beyond the number of fingers and toes you have?

[DreamSailor]

What if I never learned how to count?

[SmuttyReader]

How could you not learn how to count? You went to school, right?

[DreamSailor]

What if I told you I was raised by lobsters?

[SmuttyReader]

What kind of lobster?

[DreamSailor]

Does it really matter to you?

[SmuttyReader]

Why wouldn't it matter?

[Mnemosyne]

Because you hate lobsters?

[DreamSailor]

There are people who hate lobsters?

[SmuttyReader]

You don't think those people exist?

[DreamSailor]

You think a person raised by lobsters is familiar with all the different kinds of people in the world?

[SmuttyReader]

What are you familiar with?

[Mnemosyne]

How about we forget all that, so you and I can get familiar instead?

[DreamSailor]

Why did it take you so long to ask?

[Mnemosyne]

Would you believe I'm shy?

[DreamSailor]

Have you given me even one reason to believe that you're shy?

[SmuttyReader]

Do you need a reason?

[Mnemosyne]

Why would you need a reason for something I can't control?

[SmuttyReader]

How can you not control it?

[Rhedyn]

Do I have to answer that?

[Mnemosyne]

Would you be happy to know, that you do not have to answer?
