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! ]

no subject
[ The 'weird' doesn't even sound like a direct insult, since Ange says it so flatly. Like she just considers it an objective fact of reality about him.
Besides, despite that protest to the idea of having to explain, she speaks on anyway. ]
It's an experiment where one group of people was asked to think of a white bear, while the other group was asked to not think of a white bear, and then they had to ring a bell every time they thought of one. Turns out that the group told to not think of the white bear though about it way more often than those who had to think about it. Proving that human brains suck. [ .. okay, maybe that very last part is just some Personal Ange Interpretation. ]
