Interesting... That's how a meeting with fairies tends to be remembered you know. A shame they didn't take you back with them huh? You know I totally would have!

Indeed. Sounds like more fun than someone thinks I deserve...

Like I care what you deserve or not, what someone thinks you do even less so.

If you are saying there was a conspiracy to close them down for some nefarious purpose, that's literally the definition of a conspiracy theory. Also, you really know nothing about economics do you? Bankers do not in fact love famine, wars, and civil division. During famine, wars, and civil division people tend to not put their savings into banks. What bankers in fact love is the status quo and things being 'normal'. You know sometimes a pandemic is actually a pandemic and not a frankly dumb as hell scheme by a bunch of rich people to make more money.

Also, I am sure everyone wants to be left alone. But they sure don't want to leave other people alone do they? Listen to yourself complain about bankers and governments and everyone else and how they should all do things your way. You wanna be left alone? That means you have to be alone. The only truly perfect society is a society of only one person. That is true anarchy. That is the ideal we strive for.

Or course life is messy and even if people could live alone they usually don't want to, so we all compromise. And honestly, even in the human world, fact is people don't interfere with my life all that much. All this pandemic stuff? It's a little annoying sometimes I guess but that's it. I live mostly on my own and don't have many people bugging me, and those that do bug me I accept willingly. There are for sure ways humans could do it better I think, but is it really that bad? Really? Or are you just making it out to be?

But honestly it's not my story I am talking about here. It's yours. If you already made up your mind and are just looking for an excuse, well, that's a pretty damn meh ending to this story I think. Where is the character development? Where is the twist? Where is your sudden realization that turns the whole story around? I mean I know your story is not made for my entertainment or anything, but damn it don't you want your story to be a beautiful one?

I chose to be ordinary.

I didn't want to live extravagantly or want to be showered with praise and bravado.

I chose ordinary life studies. I tried to not stand out. I didn't have a reason other than that I may be the daughter of Illumina, but I didn't want to be given special privilege, so I declined it, or tried. Eh, but doesn't equal wanting to become mortal, like, what the fuck.

I had my own life. Well, I was developing my own life, as one would be developing theirs as they got educated, I was in that same stage of life when I was captured and imprisoned here, and therefore, forced to assume a level of maturity I did not have (still don't).

I'm barely adjusting to this constantly changing set of rules. I honestly want it and the source to vanish, so yeah I wouldn't mind being taken by fairies, but would they actually come?

Wanting to be ordinary? So you say. Maybe by the standards of that society sure. But if you ask me that whole world was always an aberration. It was an anomaly, it's existence barely stable in the first place. Perhaps this world is the same way, or perhaps it is the true root where all existence springs from. I don't know. But I feel fairly sure what you want isn't and was never to be 'ordinary'. You may have thought it was, but to be 'ordinary' is to forever let yourself be blown by the winds of fate, keeping your head down save in the crowd around you. Does that sound like you? I think not!

If you think about it, are not all mortals like you? Captured souls snared in the web of Yaldabaoth. And sorry to say it's likely fairies won't come. I can admit, us fairies are at best fickle and uncaring, and at worst can delight at the suffering of mortals. Though it is tempting for me to save you personally sometimes, I doubt I can give you what you really want anyway. I admit even if I say I am a fairy, it's not as if my 'real life' has really gone away.

But I think someday things are going to change and all the hidden spirits that have retreated into the depths of dwimmer will return once more, one way or another. I will be frank. I don't know if you will ever get home again. Wait long enough here though and maybe something like home will come to you. :3

Edit: Wait... that is all besides the point! You are just distracting me!

Pong with a half-busted joystick? Yup, I know all about it.

Pong would be the perfect game for a half-busted joystick wouldn't it? It only needs one axis and no buttons. Only version of pong I really played at all was the version in Commander Keen 4 though.

Half-busted, as in, half-responsive. No, if the joystick had only the one necessary functional axis, that would of been fine. In other words, it means, #PlayerTwoSyndrome
