Apoc: Hey what was that about Kaos?




Yeah. Your dream. You remember hearing them whispering: that everyone would die, because of you, but that your concerns were not for the flesh. Or maybe that you were going to prevent everyone from dying, and that was bad? Or that you yourself didn't want to die, and it would doom everyone? It's slipping through your fingers like dreams do. But you know it's about something important that will happen.

You haven't been all that concerned with the Dwellers in Kaos up until this point, but you're starting to be a little concerned.

APOC: hey.
YUWEN: Did you always have a tail that I didn't notice before?
APOC: what
APOC: no humans don't have tails
APOC: i don't know why transcending like fused me with my consorts or whatever but humans don't normally have tails
YUWEN: All right. It seemed like a possibility, since the animals on Mydistrata that looked the most like you had tails.
APOC: we're not animals, *yuwen*
YUWEN: In a sense you are. It's been the scientific consensus for quite a while that mydians exist on a continuum of both sentience and sapience. I believe researchers have even found evidence that other species like decasetes have something you could call language.
APOC: what? look I'm not going to argue theology with you. because you suck at it and you haven't read anything relevant
APOC: i wanted to ask about something else.
YUWEN: Theology isn't inherently superior to science.
APOC: by the devouring fucking name, you sound exactly like mariyam somehow even though that's something they would never ever say
YUWEN: Excuse me?
