I need help with a project.

private } zane, barron, & the non-existent philip (because hope springs eternal)

I'm bored. When are we actually going to do something interesting?

[Cassel spends most of his time, even now, out on deck and in the gardens. He looks extremely worried and vulnerable, which is 25% calculated and 75% natural - he's not very good at hiding his emotions yet. As always, he wears gloves, and appears constantly on the lookout for attack.]

[Alternately, find him trying fruitlessly to break into your cabin. Seriously. Any cabin. At all.]

forever!!

[venturemistborn]

I don't know what you mean by it.

[brothermayi]

Fun.

Or mean. I don't know. Either.

[venturemistborn]

I don't know what you mean by that.

[ There are strange, positive feelings here, and Zane reacts to them with hostility. ]

[brothermayi]

By fun or mean?

I'm better at fun. [Probably? ish.]

[venturemistborn]

I don't even know why I like you.

[brothermayi]

I don't know. Because of the fun, probably.

[venturemistborn]

Are you Rioting me?

[brothermayi]

What? No. I don't even remember what that is.

[Your stupid powers have too many stupid words attached to them, Zane.]

[venturemistborn]

Manipulating me.

[brothermayi]

No. That would be mean. You don't do that kind of thing to family.

[venturemistborn]

I would.

[brothermayi]

Well, don't. That's mean. And dumb.

[venturemistborn]

My family would do worse to me if they could.

They can't.

[brothermayi]

Then they're mean and dumb, too.

[venturemistborn]

Mostly, yes.

[brothermayi]

That's the other reason you like me. 'Cause I can tell things like that.

[venturemistborn]

Why else would I want to escape here?

I don't like where I come from. So I dream I'm here.

[brothermayi]

You're not dreaming. This place is real.

[venturemistborn]

Fine. It's real.

[ He doesn't care if it is or not. Though he finds it hard to believe. ]

[brothermayi]

I know I'm real. I can tell.

[venturemistborn]

How?

[brothermayi]

Because when you're not talking to me I still go around and do other things. Like eat or watch movies or whatever. I don't just disappear when you're not looking at me.

[venturemistborn]

You could just be saying that.

It doesn't matter, anyway.

[brothermayi]

Why doesn't it matter?

[venturemistborn]

[ Because it's not real. But the circular reasoning frustrates Zane as much as it might frustrate Cassel. ]

Never mind.

Would you rather be here or somewhere else?
