[nukeoleptic]

kind of sleepy?
mostly i just feel guilty

[key_illusion]

Because people were worried?

[nukeoleptic]

bluh first of all i dont know why people were worried in the first place
this is a war and people are gonna die, and death isnt even permanent here

no, i just meant
i missed out on a lot of the fight
i could have done more

[key_illusion]

I don't think anyone likes it when the people they care about are injured or killed. Even if they know there's a big possibility that it will happen.

I get what you mean though. I wasn't able to do much by the end of the last battle. At least you can help rebuild things, right?

[nukeoleptic]

yesss
i really hope that i can

is it bad that im not really surprised we are still stuck here?

[key_illusion]

No, my friend said so as well. I didn't believe him though. I thought it was going to be the end.

[He hesitates for a moment, before:] I was really sad.

[nukeoleptic]

did you want to go home that badly? :(
im sorry
maybe soon

[key_illusion]

No, I actually want to stay here now. But I still need to go home and complete what I'm supposed to do.
I can't stay here forever, unfortunately.

[nukeoleptic]

i need to get home eventually, too
i am the space player!! i am actually kind of important
but if you want to stay here, what were you sad about?

[key_illusion]

Space player? Are you playing a game?

Forgetting things and everything I learned here. I'm going to disappear when I go back.

[nukeoleptic]

oh yes
its a really weird and complicated game
i mean super duper complicated

but what do you mean by disappear?

[key_illusion]

What kind of game is it?

I'll stop existing.

[nukeoleptic]

what?
no

i think im misunderstanding

[key_illusion]

It's pretty straightforward. If I were human, it'd be just like dying except nothing's going to be left.

[It's so easy to talk about it now-- or at least typing it makes it far more easier.]

[nukeoleptic]

ugh
you dont know that, though
maybe you wont
maybe there is something else in your future

i used to think that i was going to die, too

[key_illusion]

If you say so. [Though he knows better, and he'd rather not get into the fine details.]

Something happened to you back home or are you talking about here.

[nukeoleptic]

ive died a couple of times back home
but even now, none of us really know what the future holds
or if the game we are playing is even winnable
we cant give up hope, though

[key_illusion]

[Wait, what?]

So you're stuck in a game?

[nukeoleptic]

[ Oh noooo, she should have left this alone. ]

yes and no
mostly no!!!
we started a video game
but its actually real life

[key_illusion]

[He's...slightly disappointed.]

That sounds confusing. If you entered the data-scape, it would make more sense.

[nukeoleptic]

what is a data-scape?

[key_illusion]

It's hard to explain, but it's easier to say it's the world inside digital space. The world of data, basically.

[nukeoleptic]

so like
inside a computer...

[key_illusion]

Yes, but it's a little more complex than that. It's also based around a record of memories as well.

[nukeoleptic]

whose memories?
