hello
this is drift, right?
could i speak with you, please?
whomheloved: (happy)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-24 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
you know the helmsman, don't you?
he mentioned you to me
whomheloved: (at peace)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-24 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, no, he's fine!
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.
whomheloved: (looking inward)

we...were
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
whomheloved: (Psii! brosises)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-24 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
no! no, he was so different before
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
whomheloved: (my heart aches)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-24 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
he might ://
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
whomheloved: (holding his words)

it's hard to explain...
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
whomheloved: (crying)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-24 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
i...
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
whomheloved: (holy bros! together)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-24 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
we were
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
whomheloved: (happy)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-25 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
you're welcome
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

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-25 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
it's only the truth! :33

it's very good to m33t you too
i would like that a lot, if psii doesn't have any objections
whomheloved: (cossetted)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-26 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
then i'll wait to hear from you about that

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
whomheloved: (a bit too high)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2013-03-28 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
:33 that would be great, thank you!
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
