Hiiiiya ! I’m so glad to see those of you I do know and very pleased to meet those of you I don’t.
You, the “Chosen.” I think I’ll give you something to think about. Actually it's a concept that I’ve agonized over for a while!
[ The figure front row and centre chirps from the close proximity to the screen. Strange backdrop for those who won't immediately connect the dots. The skeleton scene of An Attempt(TM) for a birthday just barely viewable over his shoulder. As he leans back from the camera again there's evidence that he's put it together mockingly, perhaps even a little contemptuously going by how many things are askew. It's a red herring, unless...?
At any rate there's no mention whatsoever who it's for—Gogol did say there was something more important on his mind. So he gets right to chattering. ]
Does a devastating control over our lives make a God? And well, I'll also share what I recently realized about that too. At a certain point it doesn’t matter what you call it— because the end result is the same.
Having my existence rewritten against my will makes me want to rebel as much as possible.
[ There's a loud cacophonous sound as he reaches over to grab a balloon and pop it with a needle. After that there hangs a heavy silence ]
Well then, the broadcast ends here.
[ and it does! ]

Most control isn't absolute... and Gods don't really exist.
But it seems everyone is quite loud for a rebellion, and I'm also less than impressed that my memories were tampered with.
Voice!
That's a complicated way to say that you agree! So, what are you gonna do about it?
no subject
I know what I've already tried to do while we were in that warped place. I wonder if explosives would prove useless now that we're...
["back" doesn't really seem like the best word for it.]
In this version of Aldrip, I suppose.

[Please imagine the jazz hands that are happening off screen here. Let them distract from the way it sounds like this advice is coming from some sort of
recentexperience.]You could get just a liiittle more creative.
no subject
And what would you suggest?
no subject
[ Bizarre comparison but there's something serious underlining the tone used. ]
Well then, true or false! Is doing the same thing someone else has already tried both predictable and plagiarism? That's right, the answer is true—but since you're asking questions how about this one!
Do you even know who you want to target?
no subject
I was only trying to right the world, since it had seemed like the explosion caused our... predicament last month.
[it didn't work.]
There doesn't seem like there's anyone to target yet, outside of Jerry. But from what I understand, he's incredibly tight-lipped on information.
no subject
[ "Trying to right the world" is such a way of phrasing things that it makes him blink owlishly somewhere out there thanks to the pang of nostalgia. ]
This is like a totally nightmarish— no exits included— escape room so if they handed out any actually important information we'd all be harder to manage.
no subject
It seems that some of us are already harder to manage.
[since it's not the first time there's been A Terrorism here, apparently.]
There must be a way to force their hand... it's possible that the methods they've already used isn't effective enough.
no subject
[There's amusement here but that could just be his typical way of speaking. Anyways make sure to think back on this particular interaction in a few days, okay, Lelouch?]
Maybe you should focus on sniffing around while others are putting on a show? Maybe they'll be distracted.
no subject
fucking clowns--]
I suppose you might not just be speaking in hypotheticals... but I'll keep it in mind. I do love a little bit of misdirection.
