Voice (Backdated to Sunday)

[rianofski]

This weekend has been fascinating, to say the least. While I'm well aware that most -- perhaps all -- of our current visitors will be returning to their respective worlds soon, I can't help but question the purpose of such an event.

[There's a pause.]

Why is it necessary to bring "guests" here, then immediately get rid of them? Is it simply an attempt at irritation? The potential opportunity for people who have missed each other to see each other once again, only to be parted? I'm well aware that the "deities" often have ill-conceived plans, but this particular turn of events strikes me as inherently pointless.

I've accomplished quite a bit of research on scientific matters, specifically engineering, which I had, thus far, not had the time for at home. I consider that to be a good use of my time.

Too bad you can't take it with you.

[rianofski]

That doesn't mean I should sit idly by and waste my time here, either.

[fifty_eggs]

Running in place, man. If that's your thing, have fun.

[rianofski]

[A long sigh.]

I'll do just that, thank you.

[fifty_eggs]

You're welcome.
