[Honestly? Fair.]

...Hey. You're a scientist, right? Why'd you end up going into that of all things?

[trollophoroi]

That?

[ Oh. Well, yes, it's not like he's made a secret of telling everyone he's a scientist of one sort or another, so. ]

Initially for foolish reasons. I thought if I excelled and became a genius scientist, I would be able to clone my family and bring them back. Of course, I was still a child when I had that mindset, but even after realizing it was impossible, I stayed the course.

'tis an interesting field, provided you can get into it.

[threatmewted]

[Of course it was for a depressing-ass reason like that. She doesn't know what she expected.]

Plus you get to travel and stuff, right? It doesn't sound like a bad gig at least.

[trollophoroi]

Ah, you mean for conferences and meetings? Hmm, those get old... quickly. You will find that most thoroughly enjoy discussing and humoring my original goals but, in the end, I am nothing more than a glorified paper pusher at a desk.

[ So what's the point? He isn't doing anything useful. He isn't helping anyone. It was all for nothing. ]

[threatmewted]

All that and you never even found other researchers worth your time, huh.

[trollophoroi]

You must understand that certain types of research carry danger with it. Take CC Corp and this game, for example. They get away with such dangerous technology because they have the money to. They can stagger legislation, bribe the people who sign off on safety standards, defend themselves with an army of lawyers, the list could go on.

[ He waves around them, meaning here, the game, this place. ]

I have no such backer to push to human trials, even if what I want to do carries far fewer risks than all these connections directly into our brains and nervous systems.

[threatmewted]

I didn't just mean your research.

[The sentence drops off oddly - probably she just held back an instinctive "dummy" at the end there.]

Just like... I dunno. Like-minded people with their own wild subjects for study? Or something.

[How do you say friends without actually saying friends.]

[trollophoroi]

[ What is she even trying to say... ]

What, as in friends? [ Look, just say friends, wow. ] Well, one, I suppose, but that hardly makes any difference.

[threatmewted]

[No she can't that's way uncool.]

Why, what's wrong with them?

[trollophoroi]

[ She's already playing around in a glorified VR chatroom, she is officially way uncool without asking proper questions. ]

It doesn't, that's all. He's a bit clingy and doesn't like it when things don't go his way, though he'll pretend otherwise. Very infuriating, actually.

[threatmewted]

[Shut up she's very cool tyvm.

Though she can't help but smirk a little at that.]

...There's someone out there who can annoy even you, huh?

[trollophoroi]

There is always someone out there who's worse than you are, isn't that a fact?

[ Fai is a brat sometimes, truly. ]

[threatmewted]

Geeze, what's a guy gotta do to annoy you that hard?

[trollophoroi]

Actually managing to be my friend, that's what.

[ It's very rare, a singular exception to his overall disdain. Everyone else? Acquaintances, tools, and people to be used until he no longer needs them. Sure, he may show fondness for some of them, but, in the end, it won't matter.

They'll all be gone from his life soon enough or, well, it's more like the other way around, isn't it? ]

[threatmewted]

That's what you find annoying?

[Buddy.]

[trollophoroi]

Why don't you go befriend dear old Fai and decide whether he's annoying or not, hmm?

[ There it is; the identity of his friend, likely the same one he referenced as being in California before when Shoka had been glitched. ]

But until then, I believe I am done with this particular curse. Have a good evening, Ms. Swallow.

[ And that's that. He disconnects, blipping out of existence just like that. ]

1/2

[threatmewted]

-Huh? Hey, wai-

[...And he's gone.]

[threatmewted]

...Asshole.

[Ughhhhhhhh. Still, Fai - that's something to go off of.

>Shoka will remember this.]
