Grayling - Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Midnight: Mmph..I can't move / ....h-hello? Where am I? / Folanerial? / ...Fola, you don't smoke / Fola: I'm feeling finite. Isn't that a rather strange thing to say, considering your circumstances? / Midnight: Er...What circumstances are those exactly? Why'm I here and why can't I move? / Fola: I doubt this...
Grayling - Wednesday, January 14, 2004 - Page 365 Fola: You will not recall this because it was purged form your memory, but as Lem's attempt to acquire you failed, he fought for a compromise instead. That compromise constituted certain...installations which were kept secret. Callanerial's requirement was that these installations would cause no harm...
Grayling - Thursday, January 15, 2004 - Page 366 & 367 Fola: The problem with you--with me, with everyone--is that we assumed evil was autonomous. / Fola: Lemanerial likes to think that you are all the evil in the world. YOU like to think that you are all that is evil in the world. You lie in bed at night and think, If only I could be Normal. If only...
Grayling - Friday, January 16, 2004 - Page 368 & 369 Fola: I haven't screamed like that since... / Fola: ...Ew.
Grayling - Saturday, January 17, 2004 - Page 370 Fola: ...Dad? / Cal: No...I'm not your dad. Come on. You don't belong here.
 
Grayling - Sunday, January 18, 2004 - page 371 Fola: Oooh. What's that? Are you doing it? / Cal: Yes. / Fola: Do it again, do it again! / Cal: Turn around, go back.
Grayling - Monday, January 19, 2004 - page 372 Cal?: Of course it didn't fucking work! He's a secondary! Look at him! / May?: Is Mid all right, Cal? / Cal: Yes, yes he's going to be fine...If a little SHOCKED by Lemaneriallian STUPIDITY. / Lem: LISTEN, I by no means ADVOCATED this behavior-- / Cal: You are an INCOMPETENT BOOB. / You had the AUDACITY to...
Grayling - Sunday, February 1, 2004 - Page 374 Viv: Sorry I'm late. / Fern: Finally. Let's give this slob what he deserves then, shall we? / Viv: Shut up, Fern. I felt the disturbance, no mistake, but humor me with some details, would you? What did Fola do and WHY? / Lem: That doesn't matter right now. I would have taken care of this already if the...
Grayling - Monday, February 2, 2004 - Page 375 Viv: All right, Fola. Here's your chance to explain yourself. Do you know what you've done? / Fola: I had one of my minions call on Mid to ask for his assistance. She brought him to a suitably isolated location and stunned him before delievering him to my home. I opened his spine with a scalpel and a...
Grayling - Wednesday, February 4, 2004 - page 376 Lem: I'm well aware of that, May. I'm not exactly thrilled. But we haven't got a choice. / May: Oh, well. Silly me. I didn't know it was as cut and dry as all that. / Fern: I would just like to point out that if it were I that had done something like this, I somehow doubt we'd be standing around talking...
 
Grayling - Sunday, February 15, 2004 - Page 377 Lem: That's it, I've had ENOUGH, Vivanerial. We'll never finish these proceedings if you continue to DISREGARD MY ORDERS. / Viv: Perhaps I wouldn't HAVE to if you weren't making a FARCE out of this, LEMANERIAL, leaving the rest of us to clean up your mess! This isn't one of your fucking GAMES, wake up...
Grayling - Tuesday, February 17, 2004 - Page 378 Lem: Oh yes, we can. It's what he deserves. This is the proper punishment. / Vivian: Who are YOU to say that?! You don't know what's WRONG with him! How in the WORLD is this going to help ANYBODY!??! YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORSE! / Lem: Get her OUT of here-- / Vivian: It's the sun isn't it? SHE says, SHE...
Grayling - Wednesday, February 18, 2004 - Page 379 Vivian: You twisted up his mind and now you're thowing him away. You made a slave of him in this stupid system and now you're SURPISED when he rebels regardless of the consequences? You TOOK everything he has nothing to lose! You have NO RIGHT! He doesn't care about anything anymore, do you think he...
Grayling - Friday, February 20, 2004 - Page 380 Lem: Well. If there aren't anymore objections, I'd like to get started. / four days later
Grayling - Friday, February 27, 2004 - Page 381 Cal: Did you see Fola, then? / Fern: No. No visitors. Apparently nobody's seen him but Lem. / Cal: ...I'm not surprised. / Fern: It's only been three days since we sent him there. He just appeared this morning in the same place. / Fern: But...Cal, for him, five thousand years had passed. The lions keep...
 
Grayling - Sunday, March 7, 2004 - Page 382 Fern: Cal, he needs help. / Cal: You...you're going to take him away? / Fern: We can't help him, Cal.....it'll....only be awhile.... / Cal: {Thinking} I failed him. / I failed him like I did Rae..I failed them both. / Cal: A-all...right. / Fern: I'll take him tomorrow.
Grayling - Thursday, March 25, 2004 - page 383 Four weeks later at Annelcey's Mental Hospital for Minions / Fern: I've been waiting for a freaking HOUR. Don't they know who I am? / Fern: Hggghh. / Fern: Fuck it. / Fern: What sort of magazine is this? / Fern: A quiz that will tell me whether or not I am "fulfilled". People READ this stuff? / Fern:...
Grayling - Sunday, April 4, 2004 - Page 384 Fern: So. You're um. Looking better. How are you feeling? / Mid: Why don't you tell me? You put me in this place, after all. I get enough platitudes and funny looks--from the crazies, no less, not to mention the doctors. I don't need them from you. / Fern: Perhaps you should have considered that before...
Grayling - Sunday, April 18, 2004 - Page 385 Mid: So began my first stay at Annelcey's mental hospital. Annelcey's was a hospital built by and for minions. It is the only place in Faidia the primary elementals are forbidden to enter. Secondaries can visit, but only when permission is granted. As you can probably guess, it was pretty difficult to...
Grayling - Saturday, May 22, 2004 - Page 386 Mid: My head started to defog only after I'd been there around 3 months. I had a lot of time to think ... and I realized there WERE things to do.. I just couldn't make myself interested in them. I watched the other patients, for lack of anything else. / Mid: In my ward, we were all longterm residents,...
 
Grayling - Monday, June 14, 2004 - Page 387 Mid: I was minding my own business one day, reading on the corner couch in one of those quieter rooms... (minding your own business, of course, being one of the most dangerous things you can possibly do) / Mid: I'd heard a lot of RUMORS about Delye.. He was a difficult patient, one of the MOST difficult... / *rustle* / Mid:...
Grayling - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - Page 388 Mid: It took an orderly to get him off me, and by that time-- / Mid: HE FUCKING BIT MY NOSE! / Mid: I was, understandably, rather .... irritated. / Other: Sit still Midnight.. / Mid: Don't boss me around after THIS-- why did't anyone TELL me, at least, I was given the impression this place was SAFE. / Mid:...
Grayling - Friday, June 18, 2004 - Page 389 Malley: I regret that you were victim to some of Delye's most violent behavior yet..He's a very disturbed individual, ad he reacted very strongly to you. He's normall belligerent as a rule, but he's never caused someone serious physical harm. It's impossible to predict an event such as this. / Mid:...
Grayling - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - Page 390 Mid: So let me get this straight. I get attacked by another patient, and as a result I'm switched to that patient's doc because I'M considered "difficult"? I'm the one whose nose got bitten, IF you've forgotten. I just fondled a house plant. / Mid: Have you got crazy people RUNNING the hospital, too? / Malley:...
Grayling - Wednesday, June 23, 2004 - Page 391 Midnight: Malley also let me know I would be getting a smaller room with only one, room mate...of course, he didn't immediately mention who that room mate, would BE... / You. YOU'RE my new room mate. / He didn't look altogether happy to see me, either. Malley thought despite the conditions under which...
 
Grayling - Friday, June 25, 2004 Mid: Look, I'm TRYING to get along with you. Could do without the undeserved insults. If it's not my business tell me so. / Mid: Anyway, you shouldn't talk. I know what you are--an aksandriate. Your kind lives the most sheltered life out of any race on Faidia. / Mid: Can't imagine what brought you here--you're...
Grayling - Saturday, June 26, 2004 Mid: [Let's have romantic, desperate things to say to each other] / Rae: [and not say them] / Mid: [Never thought my hair would be shorter than yours] / Rae: [Must not have been thinking when you did it then] / Mid: [No, I wasn't! That was the point .... ] / Rae: [Don't have to scream a lot to predict monsoons] / Mid:...
Grayling - Sunday, June 27, 2004 Mid: I know it's in your nature to be nonsensical, but I'd also just appreciate it if we just ... kept it to a rational conversation tonight. / Mid: ...If that's even possible. Something close to it, anyway. Something unlike a delusion? Realistic prose? / Rae: Mmmmm. / Mid: There's something I need to...
Grayling - Thursday, July 1, 2004 Rae: What has this got to do with free will!? / Mid: Everything, Rae. You... all of you primaries... you don't understand what you've created. You think giving us our own minds will be just a stroll in the park... You made us EQUAL to you in the most fundamental and powerful of ways. / Mid: With free...
Grayling - Friday, July 2, 2004 - Page 396 Rae: Turn around. / Mid: Turn around..? Rae. Is this about crossdressing? Because I'm al right with that, you know-- / Rae: ..No, that is...not it. Just turn around, would you?! / Mid: *hums* / Rae: allrightyoucanlooknow. / Mid: 'bout time... / Mid: ...Rae...Look up.
