[text] i don't find this stuff amusing any more

[bedsidemanners]

None of you made particularly good angels yesterday. A little too much righteous indignation and not enough regard for personal safety.

Let's talk about disappearances. vanishings, if you'll humor me. I'm not particular. Not only from this place, I've heard enough over the last year about that. i mean regular disappearances, supposed conspiracies and cover ups, all sorts of other nonsense. I hear there's a whole market for that sort of thing on Assiah, and thus far I don't see the appeal. Enlighten me.

I don't see the appeal either, so I can't really help you there.

Maybe some people are just too bored with their lives being "normal", and it spices it up to think things a little more fanciful.

[bedsidemanners]

Do you really think that's all it amounts to?

[beyourarmy]

No, there's probably a lot of other reasons. That was just one I considered.

[bedsidemanners]

Well, I suppose it's valid enough.

[beyourarmy]

Come on, the answer came from me. How much were you expecting?

I'm sure other people that actually get into that stuff could provide more examples.

[bedsidemanners]

I don't know what I was expecting.

But those stories are more about warnings, aren't they?

Well, that depends on who specifically is missing, doesn't it?

Kanra says —
How so? Have you heard stories where the kidnappers go missing at the end??

[bedsidemanners]

there's no need to mock. If the missing person's famous, or at least named-- it's not usually really a warning, just a breeding ground for rumors. If not, then it's closer to an... urban legend, I suppose, and i'd call that a warning.

I don't think I've heard from you before. I'm Raphael.

Kanra says —
Did you think that was what I was doing?? Aaaah, I should apologise five times over! But you're right--it does depend on what the rumor does, doesn't it?

All the same, it's very nice to meet you, Raphael! That's a classical name, isn't it?

Once isn't entirely necessary, there's really no problem.

Classical?

Some enjoy chasing the forbidden.

[bedsidemanners]

Some like to waste their time.

( Voice )

[confined_to_briah]

I am inclined to agree.

( Voice )

[bedsidemanners]

Are you really?

( Voice )

[confined_to_briah]

I prefer honesty. Conspiracies waste time.

[bedsidemanners]

I suppose you would rather cut to the root of the problem and not concern yourself with the details.

As if the same thing doesn't happen in Atziluth.

I'm so glad someone failed to miss the point entirely.

And I'm so glad I could bring you some joy.

[bedsidemanners]

I don't know how to thank you.

I don't know, get on your knees.
