no subject
he mentioned you to me
no subject
no subject
although it's very kind of you to worry
that was what i wanted to talk to you about, i guess
to thank you for being a friend to him
with how he is now, it's pretty difficult for him to find people willing to take the time to get to know him...
i'm just very glad he has a friend.
no subject
Well. Uh. Gosh. It's really no problem, I really enjoy his company. He's a fascinating person.
I take it you two are very close?
no subject
before he was a helmsman
now it's more that he tolerates me than anything :((
since he's not very happy that i fuss and make him eat
no subject
Hmnn. Perhaps I should encourage that as well.
no subject
he was a fr33 troll, one of the most brilliant and fiercely independent ones i ever met
his title was the psiioniic, since his psionic powers were so very strong
psii, we called him
it's all right
he listens to me, even if he doesn't like it very much
i don't want him to get annoyed with you when you're getting along so well
no subject
Do you think. He would mind being addressed as such?
Well, my intent is to help him, so I wouldn't mind it, if it meant he was in better health.
no subject
he tends to object when i call him that
insisting that his name is system
well, perhaps then
i don't think it could hurt
being a helmsman for so long has damaged his body horribly
and going without food can't be good for him
since there's no ship here to sustain him
i can't even bear thinking of him hooked up to a ship
not psii
being turned into a helmsman was always his worst nightmare
no subject
What did they do to him?
It almost sounds like shadowplay.
no subject
i don't understand very well what they do myself
but they take a psionic, one powerful enough to power a spaceship
they erase their personality, program them into obedience
usually reinforced by pain if they disobey or rebel in any way...
they operate them to make them compatible with the ship
and install them as...a sort of battery and computer navigation system
it's one of the worst horrors of the empire
and there are many of those, i can tell you
i don't know how they got their hands on psii
he's from a long time after i am
when i was last home he was still with us and completely fine
now he doesn't even know me
no subject
So it is shadowplay... and enslavement.
[ Ah he can feel himself bristle. ]
I am.
Sorry for your loss.
no subject
thank you
it's b33n very hard knowing what to do for him
he cares so little for his own comfort like this
he thinks he's of no consequence and it's so hard to s33
not that he ever was very fussy about himself, but he did have preferences
strong ones, about certain things
and he was proud of who and what he is
we used to argue about everything, but we cared about each other a lot
there were few people i trusted more than psii
no subject
You two must have been... very close, then?
[ He doesn't want to be too forward but it sounds like something... ]
no subject
though...oh, not exactly like that
we were best friends, and more than friends in some ways
but signless was always the first in both our hearts, i think
and in a lot of ways he's the reason psii and i ended up so close
well, after a while, anyway
at first we couldn't get along at all!
it's hard to describe in any conventional way, i think
just that we were a very close group, and loved and trusted each other more than anything
no subject
I understand that. How that can be, anyways.
Thank you for telling me all of this. I've been worried about him, struggling to understand him.
But- I'm sorry. I don't think I got your name.
no subject
i just thought it might be better for you to know
he s33ms as fond of you as i've s33n him be of anyone here
he said something about going with your ship if you should find it
oh! oh, i'm sorry
i'm disciple
di, if you like
no subject
That's really flattering to hear. Ah, gosh. Thank you again, really.
I don't quite know what to say.
Ah! Nice to meet you, Di. I think we should all spend some time together perhaps.
no subject
it's very good to m33t you too
i would like that a lot, if psii doesn't have any objections
no subject
I'll see if he's receptive to the idea.
no subject
oh!
there was something else maybe you'd like to help with
he hasn't done anything at all with his hive...his apartment, i mean
he just stays in a corner and lets the dust gather :((
i wanted to fix it up a bit for him
put in things he might like and find interesting
no subject
Hmm. Things he'd find interesting...
I'll be happy to help clean but. The latter may requires some hmm.
Intel-gathering on my part. Heh. I'll see what I can do.
no subject
i know the colours he likes - or used to, at least
but if there's anything new he's fond of now, it would be lovely if we could get it for him
no subject
Well, if there is something to be found, consider me on it!
no subject
he likes yellow and black paired together, like the clothes he still wears
and red and blue, the same as his eyes
he likes things to be done in twos as well
