Hey, Cal? Someone just asked me if I wanted to be called 'him'.

I never really thought about it before.

Re: Voice

[Wait what?]

Why would you have?

Re: Voice

[dreamsallotted]

Because, well, I don't know.

It's what we called ourselves when we were human. Shouldn't we use something different now? Does it even matter?

[This is breaking his brain]

Re: Voice

[immanionorchid]

You can if you'd like, I suppose. I don't think it much matters either way. There just isn't that much of a need to change it.

Re: Voice

This isn't completely blowing your mind is it?

Re: Voice

[immanionorchid]

Should it, Seel? The matter of some words is hardly the strangest thing I've dealt with.

[Cal was right. He was completely right and it was still weirding him out. He wished Swift were here, because the pronoun had absolutely no meaning to him.]

So how do I get this to stop bothering me?

I know it doesn't have the same meaning to hara like Swift who were pure-born. They just don't think of it as anything.

Is it just us? First generation?

Or hara not as enlightened as you?

I don't know. I haven't made it a point to study the phenomenon. It's a word. If you don't like it, pick a different one.

Re: Voice

[dreamsallotted]

You have a point. Maybe I'll just have a smoke. And stop thinking about it.

Re: Voice

[immanionorchid]

Do you ever top thinking about anything?

Re: Voice

[dreamsallotted]

Sometimes when I meditate.

It's hard to turn off my thoughts sometimes.

Re: Voice

[immanionorchid]

That's hard for anyone. I wish had something more enlightening to tell you.

Re: Voice

[dreamsallotted]

Thanks. I guess let me know if anything enlightened comes to you.

[Rude.]

You'll be the first. I'll see what I can come up with.
