[ ...Ah, and she hadn't expected him to be so cruel. Mischievous often, but never so malicious though she wonders if that's really his intention. Her response comes some time later, after she can sort through her thoughts. Hei's name still knocks the wind out of her lungs even now. ]

The scale is for his sake. He doesn't belong within its confines.

I'm making a point. About being cold.
no subject
And where does Hei fall, on your cold scale?

The scale is for his sake. He doesn't belong within its confines.
no subject
That doesn't seem rational, to base an entire scale upon one person.
no subject
I never said I am only rational.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
That's what you claim.
no subject
I don't understand how you can be anything but.
[ She's a Contractor, right? ]
no subject
You do understand. You only don't want to.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
I am more than just rational.
no subject
You're going to have to enlighten me.
[ Wow he's not crazy like you ]
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
That isn't news. Still, it's strange.

No one can lose their emotions.
no subject
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
I don't think that's how it works. Regardless, we don't function the same as before.
no subject
We don't. I don't know how or why but it's wrong to say they're gone.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Misplaced. To be found at a later date. Something like that.
no subject
"To be found at a later date"? That sounds ridiculous.
no subject
More ridiculous than a fake sky and gates that lead nowhere?
no subject
There's not enough conclusive evidence to say they lead nowhere.
no subject
Is there conclusive evidence to say we feel nothing?
no subject
Multiple accounts. Do you not remember how it was when you first became a Contractor?
no subject
That was so long ago.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
It only takes one emotional Contractor to disprove the claim that we all lack affect.
no subject
Not that long ago.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
Wouldn't that be seen as an anomaly rather than a potential norm?
no subject
It has been a very, very long time for me.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
No. It proves potential in what the scientists deem impossible.
no subject
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
How many times have you lived and re-lived?
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
One instance isn't enough proof for a trend, regardless.
no subject
Many times. Why does the number matter?
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Not a trend, but-- a beginning.
no subject
It's something to factor in.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
They call that a trendsetter you know.
no subject
Just pick a number.
FROM: amber@cdc.org
That has positive connotations, doesn't it?
no subject
On a scale from 1-10 how offended will you be if it's over 1,000?
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
Depends on the trend; have you ever heard of crocs?
no subject
Why would I be offended?
FROM: amber@cdc.org
Crocodiles...?
