OOC: Plotting post goes up on Saturday, 6/13.
voice.
Is this to say we are at war?
no subject
But t̻͙̩͔̫̻̣̝͍h̘̼͕̜͓̫ere are other perspectives. I imagine you know more about it than I do.
Wars must be declared, don't they? The first strike, the first battle, might be considered an act of war, but I'm told it tak̻͙̩͔̫̻̣̝͍e͙̙͎̬̘s more doing than that. As the affairs of nations often do.
voice.
[ A measured beat, and then; ]
But you speak true. These acts are of war because of the ill-will preceding them.
no subject
At least I can say it will be a different war, if war there has to be.
You used to think of this as yͦͨ͑͌͛ͯͪour element, didn't you?
voice.
no subject
but our memories are shorter than theirs.
you're gͯͮo̅ͫ͗ͯi͛͂ͪ͒ͦ̍ng to get to understand this enemy uncomfortably well pretty soon. i wonder if that wiͨ͂͆̊̉̋͐͑͗̓l̄̈́ͧͭ̑͛ͥl return you to form.

Do they have a name?
no subject
reape̞̤̬͕͓͖r is one.

[ But he's listening. Thinking. ]
They are attacking the human fields, but you're warning us. I assume it is not for the benefit of humanity if those places are under threat, from the Reaper.
no subject
the t͉̳͍͈͚̗ͤ͋̏͂̒h̝̺̻̩̖͗ê͙͎̙̝̮͙͈ͪ̔͛̅̚me i speak of is mainly referring to the hierarchy of things, as these machines see it. where mankind stands. and perhaps where mankind should fall.
there is also the notion that this is wh̩͖̝͚at mankind has sown. it's a miserable affair.
no subject
[ But out arguing an unknown threat with the messenger of tidings is-- a habit, and unproductive, and Thor doesn't dwell for long. ]
How much future do you perceive, Oracle? I would have thought you limited to the confines of your construction.
no subject
my power is̰̩̰͎n̟̖̯'̝̖͔͉ͮͯ̆ț͎̜̏̿ very complicated until i have to use it. my view of the future is limited by decisions that i do not understand, and primarily concerned with the behavior of humans, progr̪̫̮͈̜ͮ̅̄̉ͣ̊͋a̦̳͈͔̟̽ͅms, and the matrix.

There are two kinds of fortunate tellers, in my world. Perhaps, in any world.

And then, there are those that can tell the future.
