Scarlet and Glory

<Glory> Glory is smashing a tree into splinters
<Scarlet> "Glory."
<Glory> "Hi!"
<Scarlet> "You ok?"
<Glory> "No."
<Scarlet> "Didn't think so."
<Scarlet> Scarlet sits on a rock
<Glory> "I had to leave before I killed her."
<Scarlet> "She's crazy."
<Glory> "Which is more fucking restraint than Miss Godhead showed!"
<Scarlet> "I think she's got so smart she's gone stupid"
<Scarlet> Scarlet looks at the smoking footprints she's leeving "I know"
<Glory> "I hate all of you."
<Scarlet> "Even me?"
<Glory> "I don't know. Do you eat meat behind my back like the others?"
<Scarlet> "...yes."
<Scarlet> Scarlet sighs
<Glory> "Thanks for being honest."
<Scarlet> "I'm trying to replace it with technology"
<Glory> "I'm a fucking saint! I could be murdering my way across the face of Canadian agriculture! I'd certainly like to! But I've played by your rules and bit my tongue and this is all I get for it."
<Scarlet> "I know that Glory! God damn it!"
<Glory> "I'm fucking Ghandi."
<Scarlet> "I know you are!"
<Scarlet> "I wanted to kill Avi too for pulling that!"
<Scarlet> "I'd think hard before doing that to an enemy let alone one of my friends!"
<Scarlet> Scarlet is actually starting to lose her cool a bit now "I don't know what to do about it... I mean I liked Avi... she's th eoly one I can really talk to as an equal but if she's becoming like this will I become this way in a few years?"
<Glory> "I-I don't think so."
<Glory> "You've always been nice to me."
<Glory> "Avi was always arrogant."
<Glory> "Her intellect can't compensate for her terrible personality."
<Scarlet> "I'm ... I'm only nice to you guys because I'm not nice o anyone else"
<Glory> "Or the animals."
<Scarlet> "Which animals?"
<Glory> "The ones who make the steak you'd be eating if it weren't for Avicenna's machine. (:3"
<Scarlet> "yeah." Scarlet sighs
<Scarlet> "I'm morally consistant though. I kill humans when it suits me too"
<Scarlet> "sorry. This isn't the most reassuring line I can take is it?"
<Glory> Glory is almost crying.
<Glory> "No."
<Scarlet> Scarlet hugs her
<Glory> "But at least you admit it unlike the rest of your sanctimonious lot."
<Scarlet> "I'll never hurt you."
<Glory> "Ha. Listen to me."
<Glory> "Now it's pointed out I can hear all the stupid big words I'm saying."
<Glory> "Fat lot of good turning the last team moron smart did."
<Scarlet> "How does it feel?"
<Glory> "Wrong."
<Scarlet> "You know why I'll never hurt you Glory?"
<Glory> "Everythings... filtered. I keep getting thoughts I don't recognise from nowhere."
<Scarlet> "Do you want me to try to work out a way of shutting down the neotropics?"
<Glory> "They'll wear off."
<Glory> "I assume."
<Glory> "I have a high-nova metabolism. I can break down raw sewage and radioactive waste."
<Scarlet> Mosture lands on glory
<Glory> "Why won't you hurt me?"
<Scarlet> "Because you're by far the best person I know."
<Scarlet> "The fact you could have been through what you've been through, and believe what you believe and not kill everyone is ... well it's not something I'm ever going to let vanish."
<Scarlet> more moisture lands on Glory. It's falling from Scarlet's face.
<Glory> "Thanks."
<Scarlet> "Am I crying?"
<Glory> "Yes."
<Scarlet> "Damn"
<Glory> "I guess I should go back."
<Glory> "The cat's out of the bag."
<Glory> "Goat is out of the pen."
<Scarlet> "I don't think they'll tell."
<Glory> "Maybe they'll take me more seriously now."
<Scarlet> "... you should try to become smarter normally"
<Glory> "Not just eat salads when I'm around and snigger about steak behind my back."
<Scarlet> "Do you think you could?"
<Glory> "I don't know."
<Glory> "Even like this I have no idea what I am."
<Glory> "I shouldn't even exist as far as the world knows. Novas are human."
<Glory> "Maybe this is as far as a goat's brain can go."
<Glory> "I'm already a godlike genius among my species."
<Scarlet> "Well. I'd like to try to teach you more"
<Scarlet> "humans dominate this planet with our brains."
<Glory> "When we get back, I want you to look at something for me."
<Scarlet> "What?"
<Glory> "A book I found. Something about me."
<Scarlet> "I will."
<Scarlet> "... if you get smart... would you help me make all animals smart?"
<Glory> "I dunno..."
<Glory> "After today? Do I have the right to?"
<Scarlet> "that's a good point"
<Glory> "And you can't squeeze a brain into a cockroach. Even one my size."
<Scarlet> "You're right"
<Scarlet> "I guess we'll just have to try for flesh vats and stuff then"
<Glory> "Maybe with genetics. There's no change there, just a different result in the lottery."
<Glory> "I won't know any of this in a week."
<Scarlet> "Does that bother you?"
<Glory> "I don't know. It feels unnatural."
<Glory> "If I say something smart, write it down."
<Scarlet> "I'll remember it. I remember everything"
<Glory> "I've done fine being dumb so far, and smarts didn't help Avi not be a colossal dumbass."
<Scarlet> "She's gone out the other end and seen too much how the wheels spin I think..."
<Scarlet> "I'll try to convince her to take her head out of her ass... if you can ever forgive her"
<Glory> "I hope so. I'm stuck working with her."
<Glory> "Maybe if she apologises properly."
<Scarlet> "I'll talk to her"
<Glory> "Thanks."
<Glory> "Bye."
<Scarlet> "You're welcome"
<Glory> "I'll hang around here for a bit."
<Scarlet> Scarlet lets go
<Glory> "Come and get me when she's gone."
<Scarlet> "When you're ready"
<Scarlet> "Can't do that. We need her to get home"
<Glory> "Where are we?"
<Scarlet> "Fuck I don't even know"
