You've reached Chaos! Leave a message or this answering machine will explode!

[Christopher momentarily looks horrified, but he manages to school his expression.]

Feelings ruin everything, even if you have control of them. So I think maybe you can stay where you are and I'll be over here. Where you aren't.

You do actually have to do things you don't want to do sometimes.

[There's no way she looks that much older to Chris than his own age, given how perception of her works. And yet. For as nicely and sympathetically as she says it, how how docile her expression stays, this is absolutely a fucking threat.

She's not a god of madness, no. Not right now. She's been one before; ten thousand years is a lot of time to experiment in, when experienced linearly, and she gets bored. And she could do some beautiful work with his psyche! She could make him incredible. She won't, she knows she won't, but she also knows so very, very well that she could.]

We can meet one time, and I can give you some space after that, okay? You can't avoid me forever, we live on the same ship and I don't sleep.

I do things I dont want to.

[not often, he is very resistive and stubborn, but he does sometimes.

He sighs heavily at her request, but here you are Poppy, proof that he is capable of doing shit he doesn't want to at all.]

That is acceptable I guess, but I could probably avoid you, nothing is impossible.

[She just lets that first one sit there. Statistically someone wins the lottery every once in a while, too.]

Okay. Do you want us to be in my cabin, yours, or somewhere else, like the Enclosure?
