SWITCHBOARD

If you're deciding to actually use that phone in your room, go right ahead; the Wordsmith is a busy man but he's often around, and he has no real reason not to talk to you, assuming that you do it correctly.

Comments are screened for privacy; it's rude to eavesdrop.

[firstaid]

This outcome, you expected it, right? At the very least, you seemed very prepared for it.

[The courtroom, the trial, how everything panned out...]

I... I want you to stop this. Please.

[wordsmithery]

...It's too late for that.

[firstaid]

It can't be too late! Please, I don't want to see another friend here die, not for something like this.

[wordsmithery]

It's later than you know. There is no stopping it anymore.

[firstaid]

No, there must be a way to stop it! This... this has to stop. Please!

[She's definitely pleading here.]

[wordsmithery]

Attempts to appeal to my humanity will have little to no effect, Noble.

[firstaid]

Why?

[She takes a shaky breath.]

What... do you gain from us killing one another?

[wordsmithery]

...That is something you can not hope to understand.

[firstaid]

No, you're right. I don't understand! This all seems so needless!
