[There is an Aya staring directly at the screen. Somehow looking even less amused than usual. The hat she's wearing may or may not have something to do with said lack of amusement.]

Illogically long lines. Screaming youthful spawn. Copious amounts of overly priced items that can barely pass for edible sustenance. Endless audio loops of empty promises in musical form.

I have yet to decide if this latest Port was completely pointless, or a failed attempt at some new form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

[Either away, you win this one, Admiral Mouse. And she will get you for this some day]

Careful. That's a lot of people's childhoods you're slandering and dramatizing.

[Unfazed. Even as the little hat shimmers with the slightest tilt of her head.]

Personal Experience?

Or do you merely seek an argument for the sake of heated debate?

I said a lot of people, not mine. I always thought the woodland creatures were creepy.

I didn't know we were arguing, or having a heated anything.

Then why bring the subject up at all?

Are those your only two options for conversation?

I do not recall specifically outlining set parameters. Particularly since you are the one who initiated contact with me.

[Just ignore the part where Aya was the one to address the Network as a whole, leaving herself open for conversation.]

[You mean this part?]

Those are the only two options you gave me. I want door number three, the one where you admit that you were the one that opened your mouth in the first place.

[Yes. That part. Now shut up.]

You could have chosen to ignore it.

And you could have chosen to refrain from it in the first place.

Agency is a bitch.

Are you a Warden?

[The question may seem like an abrupt change in subject, but she had a reason for asking vaguely related to the current conversation.]

[Slevin doesn't seem concerned. He's not concerned about much.]

No. Just a concerned bystander.

Interesting.

In my past experiences, it is usually the Wardens who attempt to take on such pointless pursuits of verbal reprimanding for no other reason than to waste both my time and their own.

Who's reprimanding?

You don't seem to have much of a problem with wasting the time of anyone reading the network with a post that you don't seem to expect anyone to respond to, so I figure this is pretty much fair turnabout.

If would not be a waste of time if those responding had anything worthwhile to contribute to the conversation. Which you apparently do not.

Contrary to what some may assume, I am not without fairness. I am willing to listen, on the condition that one can prove his or her case to me in a manner I deem acceptable.

Oh. That you deem acceptable.

Sounds fair to me.

Then there is at least one thing we are in agreement about.

You're dismissing quite a bit of information out of hand just because you don't like how it's presented.

After all, most of us actually had the childhood you seem to have missed the point of.

Then, please, enlighten me as to what it is I am supposed to have 'missed the point of'.

I don't know if I should now. You put on the hat and you don't even know what it means.

[Aya opens her mouth to point out the fact that she isn't wearing a hat...]

[Then thinks better and closes it.]

[A second attempt at words leaves her with the realization that she still has no idea how to respond.]

[So she closes her mouth again. Remaining silent. Silent an confused.]

[Her speechlessness warms the cockles of Slevin's cold, cold heart, and he grins at her.]

I see you're finally beginning to understand the severity of the situation.

[She did, but not for the same reason he was no doubt convincing himself of.]

Yes. I believe I do.

Your hopelessness in being able to comprehend even the most basic of logical arguments means that this conversation has little reason to continue.

If it makes any difference, you look great.

[You see this expression? This one right here?]

[This is the expression that clearly states no, it makes no difference whatsoever and hdu for even bringing it up.]

My physical appearance is irrelevant.

I meant the hat really suits you.

It does no such thing.

[And how dare you insinuate otherwise.]

It is merely something known as a souvenir, meant to be worn as a token of acknowledgement of survival from a particularly harrowing experience.

[That was how she interpreted it, at least.]

It is a human conceit that everyone should... enjoy the cultural wasteland that they inhabit.

Your statement is highly contradictory.

Even human culture does not consider a wasteland to be enjoyable.
