Sin's gonna wash in the morning light

[hisfavoriteson]

[Last time he was on the network, he asked about a piano. This time, it's apparent what the result of that search was. Because here he is, accompanying himself on it.]

Down at the bottom of a deep, deep well

Dark so dark it’s hard to tell

Pain from night and night from hell

Down at the bottom at the deep, deep well

[When the song ends, he has nothing else to add. He's always been better at communicating this way than any other.]

I'm not quite sure where that came from.

[He almost clicked video. Almost. but something is fizzing in his head every time he tries to think about it because-]

...That was beautiful. Did you make that up?

[hisfavoriteson]

It's something I heard somewhere. I don't write them myself.

[privatepurchases]

Is that what you hope for?

For sins to wash away?

[hisfavoriteson]

They won't. It doesn't work like that.

[privatepurchases]

you can pray to be forgiven.

You really can. I know you think I'm really naive but I haven't forgotten my brother. If our worlds are remotely similar I can promise yours haven't either.

I miss him. And it makes me stupid. I'm sorry.

Private

[hisfavoriteson]

No. I can't.

I was banished from Heaven. There's no going back.

[...He didn't say that. But.

Okay. He doesn't want to regret this but he has to]

Do you want to go back?

Re: Private

[hisfavoriteson]

No. It never felt like home.

Re: Private

[privatepurchases]

...You had everything.

Re: Private

[hisfavoriteson]

Not everything.

Re: Private

[privatepurchases]

...I don't understand why you're all making this so hard. You -

...What was it like?

Re: Private

[hisfavoriteson]

Everything was the same, every day, and everyone was expected to behave and obey and not ask questions. I was never myself there, and it never felt like home.

[This is the thing. He has free will apparently and -]

Free Will is harder then you'd think.

Trust me. I've only had it for like, a week? And I go to bed exhausted. It's no excuse and maybe we'd all be better with practice but I-

[He can't think about that.]

Humans are home for you. I don't understand it. I was closest to the human Mary and I let her down in the end. So.

[Jane was inclined to clap, but clapping seemed to be inappropriate.]

It was a lovely song, regardless.

[hisfavoriteson]

It's appropriate, for the moment.

[Forever, probably, but this place has him in a mood right now.]

[bifroster]

This whole ... "event" tapped into something you'd usually keep under wraps?

[hisfavoriteson]

Something like that.

At least I'm not the only one.

[bifroster]

Yeah. We've got a whole range of emotions broadcast.

[hisfavoriteson]

It's a little troubling that something can just make people do that.

[bifroster]

Yeah. I got all sorts of theories, but none of them are pretty. A lot of them kind of speak about the end of the world.

[hisfavoriteson]

I suppose it's about time for another one of those. I haven't had to face one since I arrived.

[bifroster]

Really? How long ago was that? They've been happening at least once a month since I arrived.

[hisfavoriteson]

Everyone comes close to dying once a month?

[bifroster]

No? Just, weird things happening, like suddenly wanting to sing all the time.

[hisfavoriteson]

Strange things do seem to happen quite often, don't they.
