igfig:

okay, I'll talk a bit more about what happens over the next ten days

igfig:

You still talk with Thakashtai pretty regularly, right?

frosty:

first time i want to bring mkhad back to the house, invisibling him while i check on the shard, to check after a long sesh if shes fine

frosty:

yes

igfig:

right

igfig:

it's stressful, but she's really enjoying the fact that she's finally able to actually do something about this imprisonment

frosty:

stressful?

igfig:

well, like, imagine if you spent eight hours every day undergoing MRIs and mild surgery while simultaneously having constant psychiatric exams performed

frosty:

hmm ok

frosty:

and everyone still smelling alright

igfig:

after about a week, she's noticeably more... I'm not sure if on-edge is the correct word, but something in that conceptual space

frosty:

oh

igfig:

she calls people fools a few times

igfig:

which is a bit out of character

frosty:

that is

frosty:

worrying

frosty:

does she still want to go back?

igfig:

everybody still smells fine to her though

frosty:

"why are they fools?"

igfig:

she says she does still want to go back, it's too important

igfig:

oh, she didn't really mean it like that. Nobody's a fool, it's just that sometimes the interviewers feel like they're going in circles, or they don't understand a concept that she thinks should be simple, because they don't dream and all

frosty:

:/

frosty:

someone else can go the next time if shes not feeling up to to it

igfig:

she wants to keep going! she will not be denied!

frosty:

what

igfig:

yeah, even she's surprised by that

igfig:

...maybe she should take a day off

frosty:

yeah 4 real
