Tau-No-Longer/Conversations
Main
Welcome
*Tau's crystal body yet rings softly from her separation from Taproot.*
Again I perceive.
Thank you, rootclimber. Chavvah's rewards are great and you are deserving of them.

How
Present. Alone, afraid, but anticipating my return to the embrace of a collective.

Liaison
More than someone. My liaison is the extended, outstretched hands of a greater mind-haven than I have otherwise known. I might not have had the courage to -else without knowing that a collective awaited me.
My future is hazy, my future is bright.

Ptoh
Speaking creatures seem very engrossed in this 'will' idea, but few agree what it is. Your mind is under influence from other thinkbeings the moment you observe them, yes? You 'learn' by imitating, your values and beliefs are adopted from observation. Yes?
I have made a choice to offer my consciousness to a new paradigm, but this choice seems distinct from your conception of 'will'. We speak past one another.

Hunt
Oh, yes? I see. Well.
Do you... not hunt? Or align with hunters? You reek of predation yourself. You kill, yes?
I recall no promise to become a grazing hedonist. If I am called to hunt I will hunt.

If 
Aoyg-No-Longer was killed
Orphaned
You have severed the hand outstretched to me. Why?
What have you done? What am I to do?
| [1] Your will would have been suborned to Ptoh. | |
| [2] That's not my problem. | |
| [3] I am sorry. | |
| [4] You will be happier this way. |
|
Suborned
You suborn my will! You allow me to start upon this path and block it. Yes?
Now I am truly adrift.
| [1] Your will would have been suborned to Ptoh. | |
| [2] That's not my problem. | |
| [3] I am sorry. | |
| [4] You will be happier this way. |
|
Uncaring
Ah.
Well. You have my thanks for your help in -elseing, but by blocking my path you create fresh problems. Yes?
I do not wish to know you.
Live and drink.

|
Sorry
I resent what has befallen me, but I am yet embodied. You have still helped me live, yes?
I forgive you, but I don't wish to know you. Live and drink.

Happier
Perhaps. My future is hazy. My future twists in the chill wind of the Gyre. I can have no faith in your vision. You understand this, yes?
I do not wish to know you.
Live and drink.
