You'd think that. Humans don't understand half their feelings most of the time. It's easy for Keluuvi to know what we feel, because we know where we come from, and what we've felt before.

I was cut off. When I volunteered. For all intents and purposes, I can't really go home.
They didn't ban me or anything. It's kind of impossible to, since "part of the whole" and whole, they'd be banning themselves too.
You're responsible for the tar I'll gain on my soul for this.

Terrible Person 1: Knock knock. Terrible Person 2: Who's there? Terrible Person 1: Doris. Terrible Person 2: Doris who? Terrible Person 1: Doris locked, that's why I knocked.

Not one person, many people? It seems like that would equate out to more emotion as opposed to less.

So all your ancestors were assholes?

But if I went home, I wouldn't be welcome.

Why? You did this to save your race, didn't you?
Why would you effectively exile someone securing your existence?
no subject
I made that call on my own. Independent thought.
It's a fair trade.
no subject
It's martyrdom.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
What does that make you now, if you're cut off from the whole. Every moment here would be independent thought on your part, wouldn't it?
no subject
I'm something of a curiosity to my bosses, and an abomination to my people. No hard feelings.
no subject
Curiosity to your bosses? Why?
no subject
I'm a special snowflake.

...If that was intentional, it was the worst joke I have ever heard, and you should feel bad for it.

It's an accurate description of me.

I'm embarrassed for you.

Why, it was funny.

In the way knock-knock jokes are funny.

What are knock knock jokes?

An abomination to the free speaking world.

Terrible Person 1: Knock knock.
Terrible Person 2: Who's there?
Terrible Person 1: Doris.
Terrible Person 2: Doris who?
Terrible Person 1: Doris locked, that's why I knocked.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
That was physically painful.
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
So what did Doris locked?
no subject
Are you doing this on purpose?
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
It's a play on words. The name 'Doris' sounds like 'Door is'. So it comes out like 'Door is locked.'
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I don't get it. But what's locked?
no subject
This is the last answer you get before I disconnect and wash my hands of this. The door that was initially knocked on by Terrible Person 1.
no subject

Doors. This is such a weird joke.
no subject
I warned you.
no subject
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
So are all human jokes weird?
no subject
We'd be painfully boring if they were. But to you, I don't know. Ask Dirk Strider to give you some.
