Where are we, anyway?

Something hit me. Sure, we're in Castle Oblivion. But what floor? The basement floors can look the same as the ones upstairs.

Are we heading to the exit or to someone who's waiting for us?

And you from yours.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right.

You don't believe me? I suppose I can't be too surprised.

Now why would I send so many to their deaths? What purpose would that possibly serve?

I cut strings so the puppets may be freed, not so they may fall.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Less opposition.

Y'know, they say killing people sets them free, too.

If you would seek oblivion over freedom, that is your choice. I'm surprised you have so little faith in your friends to think you'd fall so easily.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

That a threat?

You make it sound like you're a friend. None of my friends talk like you. Or would remain anonymous.

That it stands to reason they're no friend of yours, whoever they are.

...A switch from "I" to "they."

How many people am I talking to?

[sceadu-gemynd.livejournal.com]

Myself and at least one other.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

This gets more and more interesting.

Fine. You let me know that much. Why?

[anonymous]

[sceadu-gemynd.livejournal.com]

Because I see no reason not to have done so.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Or to have done so in the first place. You could have just let me keep wondering. You guys are good with messing with people's heads like that.

[anonymous]

[sceadu-gemynd.livejournal.com]

I could have, yes.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

So that still leaves the question of why.

[anonymous]

[sceadu-gemynd.livejournal.com]

It does.
