"It's just what people decided on. One of the rules of a polite society. There's nothing inherently wrong with it."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 10:27 pm

"There's a lot more rules and stuff that come with being a person. I think they just think really highly of themselves."

"Like you wouldn't believe. We're the pinnacle of evolution and mutants are the vanguard of a whole new leap forward from that." she says and it's hard to tell if she's being sarcastic or not.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 10:33 pm

"If you say so..." he said, dubiously.

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 10:38 pm

"Point is, people have all kinds of unspoken rules like that. And different groups have different rules."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 10:39 pm

"It's easier being a couch."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 10:52 pm

"You know, that's probably true in many ways." she chuckles. "But I would imagine that being a person is ultimately more rewarding."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 10:54 pm

"Well, maybe

I don't know. When I'm fulfilling my purpose, it's a great sense of peace and contentment. Like everything's right in the universe. I'm not yet sure where to start as a person, you know? That's where people have a disadvantage. Everything else has their stuff together, people are just running around waving their hands in the air."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:06 pm

"Things have their purpose. Compared to that I'd probably say people make their own purpose."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:11 pm

"And what's yours?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:25 pm

"I wish I could tell you. I'm still trying to figure that out for myself."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:33 pm

"Bah. See, the level of difficulty is too high."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:36 pm

"Well, I can't say if the rewards are any better, but you won't know until you try."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jun 15, 2015 11:38 pm

"That's what I'm doing!" he smiled. "I just need to figure out what feels good.

It's...better being here than the army base. I think."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:03 am

"I would hope so."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:06 am

"Well, don't put it like that. There was lots of interesting stuff to do at the army base. I'm almost overwhelmed from choice here, though."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:11 am

"Well, have you found something that you enjoy doing as a person yet?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:19 am

"I like helping people.

Some people feel...better to be around than others."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 1:10 am

"I believe that's called 'making friends'." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 1:15 am

"It might be! But then, that's sad. I want to have lots of friends."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 1:29 am

"That sounds exhausting."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 1:31 am

"I don't sleep," he smiled.

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 2:34 am

"I more meant mentally exhausting. Not everyone is easy to deal with."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 2:39 am

"I don't know what you mean?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 2:59 am

"Some people you just don't get along with and being polite anyway can be hard work sometimes."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 4:25 am

"I don't think I've met anyone like that."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 4:37 am

"Then you're a more patient person than I am." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 4:49 am

"Is that why you couldn't understand me being a couch for seven years? You would have been impatient?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 7:03 am

"Incredibly so. And bored. To me the idea of being a couch is... lacking stimulation."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 7:10 am

"Oh, not in the least! You should really try it sometime. It's...fulfilling. Knowing, with every fiber of your being, that you're doing what you were made to do. Meanwhile, you yourself said you have no idea what your purpose is.

Envy your couches; they know how to live life to the fullest."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 2:54 pm

"I'll have to take your word on it, though I find it hard to believe most couches actually experience, well, anything."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:31 pm

"Of course they do! What a silly thing to say."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:53 pm

"Well they don't exactly have a mind." she says.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:55 pm

"A mind as you know it."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 5:58 pm

"As it registers to my power. You do, the chair does not."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:07 pm

"So, maybe you just need some more practice."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:14 pm

"Yes, I'm sure that is the issue, not the absence of a mind."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:20 pm

"There is more of heaven and earth than is dreamed of in your philosophy, Miriam," Will smiled.

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:25 pm

"I suppose you're testament to that, huh?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:30 pm

"Oh, I don't want to shatter anyone's worldview."
