[The feed starts out with a bit of static, but it wears off soon enough with Vanitas talking.]

Out of Mt. Mortar, starting now.

[Off to the side, his tone goes sour.] Now, you're learning how to freaking swim, and we're taking the other route next time. You got that?

I don't see what the bulge fondling deal was. We made it out just fine!

You're learning how to swim. Deal with it.

So, essentially, what we have here is you not wanting to confront your fears so you're more or less attempting to force me to do what doesn't come fucking naturally to anyone indigo on down?

Don't know what you're talking about, and I'm not looking for a lesson this time. While you're here, you're human, and humans can freaking swim.

You don't know what I'm talking about... How about I shove you the merry fuck back in there and sit my Lapras in front of the goddamn exit? What then?

[There's dead silence for a moment, before the sound of a fist hitting a face. Yeahh. The network gets a few audio cues that tell of a fistfight going down, before the gear is dropped and it cuts out.]

Yeah. Alive. [Crankiest ever, but alive.]

I figured. You'd really have to try hard to die in this world.

So I've heard. It's almost a good thing people don't stay dead here.

Yeah. I don't like that death's not natural to us, but...I also don't like my friends dying.

Mm. [Me either.] It just leads me to think that things aren't right, behind the scenes of... whatever brings us here.

We've been here for a long time, and we don't have any solid leads about that. Just more and more questions.

Do you want things to be "right" in this world?
