[ On an ordinary day, Medusa walked with purpose. She knew exactly where she was going, exactly what she was doing. On ordinary days she walked only briefly and for the most part she studied. Mostly she stayed in the library or the common room of floor 7, a large textbook in hand. This was not an ordinary day.

There was a somewhat complicated facet to this particular flood. She had gathered bits and pieces just listening to the network, but she wanted specifics. How does it work, what’s the mechanism, and how is the Admiral involved?

Today, she is conducting an observational study. She walks from the bottom of the ship to the top, seeing what there is to see and taking mental notes of everything. ]

What do you mean?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Tell a lie, and see if it hurts.

[canfindrope]

...Like... the sky is red?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Well? [ She guesses not. Bummer. She so was looking forward to seeing Red in pain. ]

[canfindrope]

[A little nauseous, actually; but she's used to that.]

...I don't know.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You're a hopeless imbecile. [ True? Debatable. But Medusa isn't lying. ]

[canfindrope]

I'm not. [As much stubborn as defiant.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

And so convinced that saying a thing can make it true. Maybe one day we'll have a flood to that effect, then you'll be in luck, won't you?

[canfindrope]

Why are you always like this?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Are you being purposefully dense, or do you really not get it?

[canfindrope]

Not being happy isn't a reason to take it out on everyone.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

So you're telling me that you honestly believe that there is a single, simple explanation for every person's entire personality?

You must have spent your whole life surrounded by people about as deep as puddles if that's how you think the world works.

[canfindrope]

No. I just... [She feels like she's talking to a wall.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You just want it to be true, because you think it will somehow help you understand me.

[canfindrope]

I'm supposed to help you.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You're only helping yourself with that line of thought.

[canfindrope]

Then what do you think?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I think that you should behave like an adult and make your own observations. You'll never get anywhere in life if you're dependent on others to give you all the answers.

[canfindrope]

I can do that... [She doesn't sound entirely certain, though.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Then do it, and stop asking such idiotic questions.

[canfindrope]

Fine. I will. [She's just not going to look at you now, Medusa.]
