Grayling - Friday, December 27, 2002	Fern: Why are you so interested, anyway? Morbid humor? Do you want me to tell you all the hideous details? Or are you looking to offer false sympathy? / Fola: If it's pity you want, there are people to give it..for a price. I may be able to help you.. in more ways than you may think. / Fern: You're... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20021227
Grayling - Saturday, December 28, 2002	Fola: He's mad. / Fern: Heh. No kidding. If you haven't noticed, ALL of us are a little crazy. We try to keep it to ourselves...I think Cal has been trying to do that for quite some time, but he's failing. A bit fat lesson for us all. Well, anyway. I'm leaving now. / Fola: You're not staying for the... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20021228
Grayling - Sunday, December 29, 2002	Fern: You know, most depressed people DON'T cut their hands and noses off when they feel down. They write bad poetry and wear black. But OH, not you, you just had to be a rebel. / Fern: flop / Fern:Why...why are you doing this to me...to yourself... / Fern: When did I go wrong...? I thought we were... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20021229
Grayling - Monday, December 30, 2002	Rae: Cal? / Rae: You're angry and tired of me. Maybe...you're...even...with...HIM.... / Rae: And why not? Why talk to me when you have him? / Rae: snrk / Rae: Cal...please...talk to me...don't leave me locked alone in here. http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20021230
Grayling - Tuesday, December 31, 2002	Cal: All right, all right. / I'm here. / Rae: Cal!!! You came! / Rae: ... / What took you so long? / Cal: I was asleep. I need..I need time to myself every day, Rae..please... / Rae: NO! You come when I WANT you to come. What sort of brother are you?! / Rae: You taught me you're supposed to sacrifice... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20021231

Grayling - Wednesday, January 1, 2003	Cal: I...I was wondering if I could...talk to you. / May I come in? / I...know it doesn't mean anything to you...after what I did. But I promise not to hurt you. / Fern: Fine. / Come on in--it's your house, after all. http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030101
Grayling - Thursday, January 2, 2003	Cal: Oh! I'm...I'm doing the wrong thing! Don't tell me..I remember what you told me... / Cal: It's rude to look at someone naked, right? Here is a towel. I promise not to look at you naked, even though I want to. Am I doing the right thing? / Fern: Yes, Cal. But you have got to be the craziest man... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030102
Grayling - Friday, January 3, 2003	Fern: Anyway. I don't know how I can trust you now that you can read everything in my head. / Cal: You're not a bad man, Fern...You have nothing to hide... / Why does this upset you so much? / Fern: Maybe I need the comfort of having these few inches of space inside my skull to myself, to work things... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030103
Grayling - Saturday, January 4, 2003	Cal: Don't walk away from me! / Cal: Why must you be so DIFFICULT?! Can't you see I'm TRYING to appease you? Doesn't that mean ANYTHING to you?! You're--you're such a MORTAL! / Fern: Maybe because I still WANT to be mortal. This WASN'T my choice, if you remember. I TOLD you what I wanted and you STABBED... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030104
Grayling - Sunday, January 5, 2003	Cal: Say it. / Fern: No. / Cal: I'm giving you one more chance. / Fern: Go to hell. http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030105

Grayling - Monday, January 6, 2003	Fern: {thinking} You go to sleep, you wake up...You wander through a muddy haze... / I learned how good it was to forget. / How good it was... / Fern: Awwwgh. Fuck. I faint more often than a chick in a Victorian novel. My head hurts. / Smoke: You didn't faint. Cal gave you something to make you sleep while... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030106
Grayling - Tuesday, January 7, 2003	Fern: Smoke said you wanted to see me. / Cal: Yes...come in, please. / Hm, you've acquired quite a collection of books, Cal...Nice selection, I see... / Cal: Yes...I've been reading a lot. / Cal: I've also...been thinking quite a bit about what you said....About reading your thoughts...I think I've... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030107
Grayling - Wednesday, January 8, 2003	Fern: Okay. Fine. Shoot. / Cal: Well...to start off...Here's your crestil. / Fern: My crestil's a box? / Cal: No. It's the jewel inside. It still needs to be set in something....so you don't lose it. / Fern: A crestil, eh? / Cal: Once you get accustomed to it, you should be able to do a variety of interesting... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030108
Grayling - Thursday, January 9, 2003	Fern: What am I doing? That's not what I want at all... / Cal: And here we are, I've spread the disease to you. I've made you afraid, as I am afraid. / Cal: It's never going to stop. I can't stop it from coming out. Every shred of my rationality screams whenever it takes a step...but I can't stop it.... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030109
Grayling - Friday, January 10, 2003	Fern: I hate you. I hate the control you have over me. It's not...it's not..... / Cal: Don't play tag anymore, Fern. I'm not mortal. You're proud. I can see that. The more you resist, the I'll want to crush you, when I only want to preserve you in the first place. / Cal: You're not mortal, either. / Cal:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030110

Grayling - Saturday, January 11, 2003	Cal: Good morning. / You ARE awake, aren't you? / Fern: Mmmm. Depends. / Cal: I trust you slept well? / Fern: Mm hm. / Cal: Don't move. / I'll make the attempt and try to get some breakfast together. / Fern: Don't burn yourself. / Cal: Couldn't burn myself any worse that you did last night. / Fern: That was... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030111
Grayling - Sunday, January 12, 2003	Fern: {Writing} Well. Contrary to what Arby has chosen to show you, 'mentals have rather boring lives most of the time. For a long time after this...we were happy. / Fern: I mean, of course, we had an occasional fight, but that's healthy in a realtionship. ..Like when he started inviting weird animals... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030112
Grayling - Monday, January 13, 2003	Cal: 7 am...Damnit. I told him I'd be back last night. / Cal: Lovely? Are you up? I'm home. / Fern: Mmhh...Cal..? It's morning... / Cal: Lem was being difficult all night. I'm sorry I didn't get back earlier. / Fern: S'okay....You're probably exhausted... / Cal: I'm all right. / Fern: I'll make some... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030113
Grayling - Tuesday, January 14, 2003	Fern: What were you and Lem arguing about, anyway? / Cal: He objects to some of my present experiments. They're nothing big...but I'm working with artificial life, and he says that's outside my 'realm', so to speak. / Fern: I don't see how your experiments are any of his goddamn business. / Fern: He only... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030114
Grayling - Wednesday, January 15, 2003	Later-- / Smoke: Why the long face? / Fern: Had a little encounter with Lem yesterday. He said Cal will eventually get bored with me. I was just thinking about it. / Smoke: Perhaps he spoke out of jealousy? / Fern: Pfft, everything he does is out of jealousy. / Smoke: You don't sound very worried. / Fern:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030115

Grayling - Thursday, January 16, 2003	2 years later. / Fern: I wish you wouldn't work in bed. What is it? / Cal: Well.. you know how I gave Lem my experimental designs to shush him up a while ago? He's started to... build things he really shouldn't be. / Cal: There's just... a lot of trouble. I have a bad feeling. He's getting more and... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030116
Grayling - Friday, January 17, 2003	500 years later. / Viv: Hey, they have pool here. Let's scare the mortals away from a table, eh? / Fola: I'm not here to play a ridiculous game, Viv. / Viv: Well, okay. Just trying to get you to relax Fola-lola. / Fola: Don't call me that. I don't exactly have a lot of time, Lem is cracking down hard.... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030117
Grayling - Saturday, January 18, 2003	Viv: Though I sympathize with your Lem problems, Fola, I think we all need to worry about Fern at the moment. / Fola: Okay, we all know they have huge fights, but afterwards they boink like bunnyrabbits. I don't see what the problem there is. / Viv: Not anymore they don't. Cal is obsessed with this war...... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030118
Grayling - Sunday, January 19, 2003	Viv: As much as we scorn the mortals at times, they certainly can be strong when the desire takes them. Look at this city -- flattened, yet they continue as before, as though nothing as happened. / Fola: Look over there, Viv. / Fola: Is that thing still..active? / Viv: No..it ran out of fuel. That's... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030119
Grayling - Monday, January 20, 2003	Rae: So? How does it feel? How does it feel to be ignored and forgotten, Fern? I /hate/ you. / Rae: If you think what we've done to you already was painful... just wait. / How I'd love to cut your pretty face into ribbons right now... / But I can't. I'm trapped in here. My claws are sheathed. / Rae:... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030120

Grayling - Tuesday, January 21, 2003	Fern: Cal.. I've only been asleep for an hour... can't I get a little more rest before going out again? / Cal: Fine. Lay in bed like the lazy, worthless bum you are. I'll do it myself. / Fern: Sheesh... Don't have a hissy fit, I'll do it, I'll do it... / What's the assignment? / Cal: I want you to... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030121
Grayling - Wednesday, January 22, 2003	Kezper: Master Moranerial! What a pleasant surprise! I thought you were going to be away for awile. Why are you riding that horrible old thing? That model is outdated. / Fern: Hello, Kezper. / Fern: I didn't really have a choice, Kezper. This was one of the few still moving so I took it. Would you... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030122
Grayling - Thursday, January 23, 2003	Kezper: Look, look Master Moranerial! Haven't I improved? I articulated a five-fingered hand at last! / Fern: Yes...very nice, Kezper. / Kezper: I really don't know why I had so much trouble before now it seems like second nature. Do I look better to you? Maybe I'll find a form of my own soon! But I... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030123
Grayling - Friday, January 24, 2003	Fern: I'm really sorry, Kezper. Please don't be upset. / Kezper: Er well it's not your fault, is it? I suppose. I think. Well, I just don't know anything anymore. / But he just--he just promised me..... / Fern: I think it's in his personality to NORMALLY keep his promises. But there's something wrong with... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030124
Grayling - Saturday, January 25, 2003	Fern (narration): I shouldn't have made such stupid promises. / Fern (narration): It was only a little while earlier he was making promises to save me. / Fern (narration): Kezper and I... there was nothing for us but these idiotic, empty words. / Fern (narration): Not something to linger on. / Fern (narration):... http://grayling.arborwin.com/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi?date=20030125
