While It Appears That I Am Currently Back To My Normal Body
One Without A Struggling Phantom That Is Even If Not Normal By Most Of Your Human Standards
I Am Still Rather Troubled By A Certain Note I Received That Read

Thank You For Participating In Our Experiment
The Results Will Be Posted Sometime This Month
Rewards For Participating Will Arrive With The Experiment Results

Have Others Received This Note As Well
I Believe That I Am Not Alone In Saying That I Do Not Think I Would Like A Reward To Serve As A Reminder For What Has Happened
I Am Constantly Reminded Of What Has Happened
I Am Also Concerned About The Data They Have Collected Mainly What Type Of Data They Were Attempting To Collect
I Fear That If The Data It Not To Their Liking They Will Once Again Experiment On Us

There Must Be A Way To Prevent That From Occuring

Is waiting for it to hatch the only way to find out?

[--Woah, she knows that name.]

I know him. He's been very kind to me. That sounds like a good idea. [Not that he'd said anything about matriorbs before, but it was as good an idea as any.] Who's your ancestor? [He'd mentioned having met some of the desendants of people he knew, but perhaps it was best not to assume who belonged to whom.]

Yes he has.

Both of those I mean. He hasn't told me a lot about her but he has mentioned her name and it sounded like they might have been friends.

I'm glad to hear that. Everyone could use some more friends I think especially him and especially in a place like this.

[Come to think of it,] I don't think you and I ever exchanged names.

Me too. To be honest I've been able to spend more time with people here than I ever could back in my world.

My name is Naminé. It's nice to meet you [...er,] again.

Yes.

[That feels like an insufficient description, so,] Very.

[--Erk. Perhaps that was not a good thing to bring up. Unfortunately, she had a tendency to state facts and only afterwards (or, even more awkwardly, while she was saying them) realize that they might upset people or be related to something upsetting. Well, no going back now.]

It was. [But she's also quick to add,] It's over now though and I think maybe it's helped me here because it's easier for me to be [Not satisfied, exactly, especially since she's not so sure she should look at it that way.] okay with things. [From a purely non-emotional perspective, of course, no heart and all.] Especially since there are so many kind people here. [Comparatively speaking.]

Yes. I just hope everyone that doesn't already have it can learn without too much trouble.

I've noticed that too. [And she smiles, even though it won't show. She's been taught about chat faces but she's not exactly sure when they're appropriate and when they aren't. She hesitates for a moment, then,] :) [It helps get the point across, okay--]

It's really wonderful that people can still help each other even in a dangerous place.

[... That does make sense. She's seen enough alliances based on common enemies to believe it... but none of those lasted, and that's kind of concerning.] I think you're probably right. A common enemy does help.

Although I've never seen a group based only on that last. That probably doesn't mean it couldn't but I think it would be nice if people helped each other not only because they had a common enemy but because they cared about each other. [Because THOSE groups, at least, have worked well in her experience.]

[It's such a weird thing for her to see 'Namine is a good person' in writing like that, and although she's not so sure that it's correct she can't find it in her to object. It's just an example anyway, right?]

I think you're right. It seems like the people here have built good relationships with each other so I guess there's nothing to worry about as far as that goes. [Which is definitely refreshing after growing up around backstabbing snakes in the grass.] I'm so glad.

Everyone fights sometimes. I think it's just part of being around each other but I don't think it means people are going to stop caring about each other if it does happen.

It is.

[Pause. She's heard plenty of things about troll society by now, so she's kind of curious.]

Was it like that for you in your world?
