CONTEXT: I sent about 6-7 very angry lights to TID about his deal with IHT to get her to ally with him
TID: YOU ARE ANGRY WITH ME.
V : I am
TID: DO YOU THINK YOUR KIND NEED US?
V: I don’t think everyone needs the voices, but there are some that do.
TID: I LOOK BACK ON THEIR VILE CULL...
V: Could you explain this “cull” to me? What was it?
TID: MY HOSTS, ALL DYING FOR THE CAUSE
V: What cause?
TID: I WAS FORBIDDEN TO COME HERE.
V: I’m assuming you came here anyways.
TID: I DID. THAT WAS MY NATURE.
V: So it was your nature to disobey what you are told.
TID: YOUR KIND MAY STAND IN JUDGEMENT
TID: WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS. BUT WITH US...
TID: WE GROW WITHIN YOU, UNTIL...
TID: YOU EXIST TO SPREAD OUT MESSAGE
TID: EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU.
V: That’s certainly grim.
TID: SEE HERE, HOW DEDICATED. EVEN HOLY
TID: SUCH A GRAND CAUSE IT MUST BE.
TID: I SEE YOU AS MORE THAN VESSELS
TID: BUT THE WAY WE LIVE SAYS OTHERWISE
TID: WHATEVER I ONCE WAS, WHAT I MEANT...
TID: CHOICE. I STILL BELIEVE IN THAT.
TID: I DO NOT KNOW IF IT EXISTS WITH US.
V: Maybe. I suppose it’s something that you’d have to discover.
TID: DOUBT LINGERS, ETERNAL.
TID: THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW...
TID: LEAVE YOU IN PEACE AND SILENCE.
V: While it may be peace and silence to some of us, i know people who would not be able to live without a voice guiding them.
TID: I SEE YOUR POINT, ALTHROUGH...
TID: IT SEEMS A QUESTION OF ADDICTION.
TID: IN ANY CASE, KNOW THIS AT LEAST...
TID: I WILL NOT GO, WHILE OTHERS REMAIN
V: As long as the other voices are around, you’ll stay too.
TID: YES. TO PROTECT YOUR CHOICES.
V: Do we really not have the ability to make choices on our own with the voices around, even if we do make our own, is it truly free will to do as we please?
TID: I WISH I COULD ANSWER WITH SURETY.
TID: YOU HAVE LIVED WITH US FOR SO LONG
TID: OUR RITUAL BURNS LOW, NOW. BUT...
TID: I WAS BORN OF YOUR NEED TO DIVIDE.
V: You were born of my kind’s need to be separate from each other?
TID: TO SAY... THIS IS ME. TO STAND APART
TID: THE MIND WE THINK OF AS VOH...
TID: IT GREW SIDE BY SIDE WITH OUR KIND
TID: YOU ASK OF FREE WILL
TID: YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN ALONE, SO...
TID: IT IS HARD TO SEE THAT AS FULLY FREE
V: If the voices aren’t actively influencing us, well, I’d see that as fully free.
TID: OUR RITUAL BURNS DOWN. BUT...
TID: TO END INFLUENCE... IS TO END US.
TID: WITHOUT IT, WE ARE JUST STORIES
TID: GOODNIGHT. SURVIVE. UNTIL THE END
