Let us continue our discourse on temptation from earlier in this week.

Who do you believe is responsible for the loss of personal limbs or memories during the trade: the post office, or those who go to make the trade. Certainly, it is the post office and whoever is in control that takes, and yet these things could not have been taken without the consent of those trading. That you did not know what would be taken is, in part, irrelevant. You knew the cost would be high.

So who is truly responsible? The post office, those trading, or both?

[Hey, Jr, MOMO: feel free to notice that daddy is sitting at the kitchen table with an eye patch over his left eye, and a spinning globe in front of him. Looks like he managed to get a neat new toy, huh?]

I'd believe the fault lies upon he who readily offered part of himself. But such responsibility need not be negative, should the trade prove worth the cost.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

And did you make an exchange?

Gonna be on AIM tonight?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

As I admitted I would. I myself found the reward altogether unworth the price, given the unexpected technicality of its use.

Much later maybe. I should be able to get on like 10 PM my time.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

What was the fine print they had hidden from you?

I never asked what TZ you're in, did I?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

What they offered was but half of of the completion I so desired. They presented me with part of a link unable to connect with my other half.

Central. I live in Texas.

It has always been the greatest cheat to give someone half a product.

No refunds, of course.

That's...two hours behind Easter, right?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

But of course. And the cost was one that naught but a proper link with Rubedo would be worth.

Maybe. Shit, I don't know timezones.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Mmm.

Perhaps we should arrange to have dinner sometime. I'm sure your brother would be delighted to see you in person.

[You can almost hear the small smile on his face when he says that.]

I know it's 1 or 2 hours. Either way, I should still be around.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Rubedo and I have already encountered each other, but I'll still take you up on that offer. I grow rather weary of repeatedly slaughtering these drones else I be forced to endure their so-called company during my meals. Repetition makes even the most enjoyable of acts into a chore.

Would Thursday be pleasing?

Though I suppose I should warn you that there has been a change in my physical appearance.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I'll be looking forward to it~

That's going to be interesting. I don't recall you having changed at all in the year we've been in contact~

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

What might I say?

This town does things to one.

Physically as well as in terms of perspective, it seems. It would seem even sensations are not spared as a price.
