Nik & Kile's Journal

/So, Jay has his own Daemons now/
*Do they have names?*
/Not yet. I'm not even sure they're actually doing anything yet/
*Aah, so the point was "look at me, I can hire someone" with him, rather than Tim's "look at me, I can do something that I couldn't do before!"*
/Pretty much/
*I wish Tim had gone for that*
/What? Why?/
*I never liked thinking of my existence and life as...well, opportunistic*
/You haven't? I have, it makes things easier/
*Yeah? Like what?*
/Just about everything, really. Tormenting prisoners, for instance - it's nice to be able to say "I was put in this place just to cause you pain"/
*Yeah, but that's your career. There's more to existance than that, right?*
/Oh yeah, sure, there's plenty - but the joy doesn't end there. What were you thinking when Tim gave us soxmas.mov to play with/
*You mean besides "wow, humans are weird" and "this is funny stuff"?*
/Yeah, besides that/
*Not much*
/Aah, then you missed it... I felt like Tim had just offered us something more. You know, when you're made for one thing and then get to do two, or three, or more.../
*So you like the idea of your life being a gift?*
/It's not my life that's a gift, Nik. It's my state of being, my position, my ability to grow beyond it all...that comes from having a nice creator and a nice patron/
*...that's not religion I hear, is it?, Kile?*
/What? Oh, Nik, you gotta be kidding me!/
*It certainly sounded religious to me*
/How?/
*You seem to be compating Tim to your creator...*
/Oh. examines self Perhaps linguistically. But that's not what I meant and you know it.../
*That's the perception I'm getting from reading this rather than watching it, though*
/...well, that's not what I meant/
*Denying it doesn't help your case*
/...perhaps not.../
*But you don't care about the Court of Public Opinion anyway, do you Kile?*
/Not a bit/
*I'm part of the public, Nik*
/You are not/
*...well, maybe not. But until we actually meet those new guys, they certainly are. And I'm not really in the mood to meet them with you looking like a religious zealot worshipping Tim and the keyboard he types on*
/Nik!/
*What?*
/...fsck off, dude/
*What, you think I'm self-righteous*
/What...where in /dev are you getting this?/
*I'm reading what I sound like too*
/Wh...oh/
*Yeah. 'Oh'*
/[...]/
*What?*
*What?*
/You know, maybe those new guys won't come by any time soon/
*Why do you say that?*
/You work it out/
*You scared?*
/Don't pu.../
*I am*
/...sh...what?/
*I like being one of only two killfile daemons in the area. The idea of more of them around bothers me*
/What?/
*I'll work it out later. For now, I want nothing more than to killfile Jay and his Daemons and let Tim sort it out later*
/...WHAT?/
*Think we could talk Tim into it?*
/NIK! What the fsck.../
*I know, I know, I was just thinking out loud*
/...and you say I'm religious.../
*I do*
/[...]/
*Let's just leave it alone for now*
/Agreed/

*Alright, it's been 12 hours, when the hell is LJ going to let us post this?*
