5 . VOICE . grab-bag weekend ( genderswap ) . backdated to the 9th

[onset]

Oh, God.

[DEEP BREATH. Hello, Poly. Does Peter sound a bit different? Extreme discomfort aside.]

It's because I had a quiet month all February, isn't it. This is some sort of - cosmic payback. Even my voice sounds different. This is beyond disconcerting.

Tell me - someone please tell me - that this is temporary.

[HE WANTS HIS MONEY BACK. So to speak.]

[replies will come from onsets! When I actually set it up.]

[ He is. Chuckling. H e h. ]

Don't worry, I don't think these things have ever lasted forever.

[onsets]

Good. I'm really not interested in being a first.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

You shouldn't be.

[onsets]

Is it me or do you not sound entirely convinced?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

No, I mean it! Several people have been here for years and nothing's ever been permanent.

[onsets]

Except their staying here, isn't that right.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I don't think that's going to be permanent either.

[onsets]

You think.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I really don't think so! Maybe it's worth asking if there's anyone here from the very beginning. If anyone remembers a time where there wasn't someone there to explain anything to them.

[onsets]

That would be quite the experience. A rather depressing one, to be honest.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Yeah, it's nice to arrive to people having an idea what's going on.

[onsets]

God. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for the first ones. I don't think I even realized there had been first ones.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I haven't exactly thought of it before...
