Did this place change you?

Has your heart wandered, since you've been here?

What makes you more than an insect under your foot?

[aluminumandash]

Nothing.

[Well, he was going to stop responding, but come on, Cohle. You need to do better than this!]

The capacity to love and hope.
To write poetry and music.
To invent things that can take us into the most hostile environments in the world and beyond our own planet.
To mourn those we’ve lost and celebrate the ones we’ve found.
What makes us more is that we might be afraid of so many things that can hurt us, including the Hunter, but we don’t let it stop us in our tracks.
We learn and adapt and plan where they can’t see.
Those are things that make us more, Cohle.

[glencolans]

POWER, you idiots
I can't wait to kill you both

[lonelynotforsaken]

You know, a lot of people probably assume the sort of attitude you’ve got is about a superiority complex.
But I’ve known people like you.
Squishy little mammal humans.
And do you know why people get obsessed with power?
And do horrible things to prove they have it?
Because they’re absolutely terrified of losing it.
I genuinely pity you that that’s how you’ve let your fear manifest.
Or maybe that’s how your society taught you to think.
It’s going to be really hard for you when you fall.

[glencolans]

Don't make me laugh.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Yep!
Still pity you.
Bye, again.
I was talking to Cohle.

[aluminumandash]

You the one bringing us back?

[glencolans]

Tell me if you figure out who is.
I want to thank them personally.

[aluminumandash]

What for?

[glencolans]

The chance to try new things on the same prey.
I'll get bored, eventually.
But it's interesting for now.

[aluminumandash]

Howd you kill her the second time?

[glencolans]

Faster than the first time.
Not nearly as satisfying.
Already have the third one planned.

cw: suicide

[aluminumandash]

Ever kill yourself?

[glencolans]

That a threat?

[aluminumandash]

Give me some credit.

You said you were bored.

[glencolans]

Not bored enough to end the game.

[aluminumandash]

Aint much of a game if youre the only one playing.

[glencolans]

You don't have to be a willing contestant to be played with.

[aluminumandash]

Jesus fucking christ.

[lonelynotforsaken]

It’s true.

[He’ll have none of your lip, either, sir!]

[aluminumandash]

Tell you one thing, the bugs dont have to deal with this shit.

[lonelynotforsaken]

They have their own problems.
I won't say they're unimportant, but they're different.
And a lot less complex.
So, yeah.
They don't have to deal with this.
But we're here and we do.
We'll muddle through.

[aluminumandash]

[ Fuck, does the sentimentality never end? It's like a wound that won't stop bleeding.

But Rust takes the opportunity to skim back over all Martin's said, pick out the part about adapting and planning. ] Talk later.

[lonelynotforsaken]

ok
