EONIA

[Something is wrong with the room you are in.

At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.

But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.

You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.

You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.

But so are you.]

... If it hadn't been for the nails . . .

[ that's not where teeth go. ]

So it's likely it's a room made from something's insides, rather than us having been swallowed.

I - ... think so.

[ though she does also think back to some of the memories she's picked up. for a sufficiently large organism there's no such thing as an impossible bodyplan. if they were, for example, in just one organ or tissue or cell of something much, much larger than them, a creature the size of a world or galaxy or - ]

- Mn, no. That's wrong. Isn't this definitely a room?

Yes, Ristretto. That's what we just agreed on.

Aha - I'm sorry. You're right.

[ what is she even on about

girls are weird. ]

Well, if it's our suggestions, then I think we've had several so far. First, it might be important for the choices we have to be narrowed down...

...I don't know that we can narrow it down so much it'll be that helpful to us...do you know anyone particularly well outside of Eonia?

[ just kind of looks away

how could it be that going out of her way to only maintain superficial relationships with others has begun to cause problems ]

...You don't have to be ashamed of it. Most of us are the same.

Talking to people that much is a pain.

I was talking with Corretto - it's a pain they keep putting on performances that ask us to know about people like this. I don't mind being around people, but...

. . . Even so. If things carry on in this way...

[ they'll just keep running into problems. the shape she has now can only take her so far, it seems, so - ]

I'll think of something. Could we plan a collab together later...?
