These queries are not returning information of practical value. Are there alternate sources you may access on my behalf? No, I am not particular as to their provenance. Yes, all of the questions. Thank you, Calliope.

Comments

[noniad]

That is true. I would not be out of place in several areas.

I am not graceful in motion, nor am I immediately obedient to commands. Constructs of lesser Houses often suffer these defects, but it is a poor showing for a skeleton of the Ninth.

[offinventory]

I'm curious what you would learn.

Because you weren't made by the Ninth.

[noniad]

I would hope nothing untoward, but I also know such a hope likely to be dashed.

This is true. It may provide some solace if I am judged by lower standards.

[offinventory]

That may depend on what spot you choose. Surely somewhere is safe.

It is confirmation in the skill of the Ninth. Another source unparallel to your standards.

[noniad]

The propensity for local people to speak of things untoward is also unparalleled.

Regardless, it is not other skeleton's fault if they are raised by lesser craftspeople. I may put too much stock in my own agency in this matter.

[offinventory]

That is most people most places, isn't it?

There's how any of us are made (or treated/fixed) and what we can do ourselves. I'm used to skeletons being inside things. Or inert. So you didn't have the greatest craftsperson. What can you do now?

[noniad]

You are not wrong.

[People need to get their acts together, on the whole.]

I was not particularly well-crafted as a flesh and blood body. I suppose I will make do, as I have done before, and seek more methods to accommodate my alteration in ability.

Thank you. At times, I am too much in my thoughts, and the perspective of others proves curative.

[offinventory]

I mean, in general, humans (IDK squids, not going to comment there) aren't the best constructed. Lots of things go wrong. However, I can hear someone I know in my head who would tell you not to be cruel to yourself.

[noniad]

I know one who I think would agree with you thoroughly on the subject of the human body, save for its osseous matter.

As for that.

It is a habit I have yet to break from.

[offinventory]

That is highly specific.



Perhaps, each time you are cruel to yourself, stop and ask—would you say this about/to someone you care about? Pick someone. Specific. Save the gif.

[noniad]

[A hurried sidebar with his Omen later, Ortus has obediently saved the small moving image. He wonders if that is the stranger's appearance, or perhaps a companion of theirs, and if it is common to make such recordings.]

I come away with yet more well-thought advice.

[Easier to hear than to follow, of course, but he is seeking, for once in his life, to set a good example.]

I will attempt the exercise.

[offinventory]

Advice is a lot easier to give than to take.

[ It's even easier if you grab things from media, instead of having to think of them yourself. ]

[noniad]

As is all help.

There is something optimistic to that, if seen in a certain light.

[offinventory]

We can all help each other? I suppose.

Plus the pessimistic light of 'if we listen to each other.' Frequently, that's a no.

[noniad]

It is more encouraging than the alternative.

[offinventory]

'We all need help.'

[noniad]

My thought was more along the line of, 'none of us can help each other'.

I believe we do all require help, in one way or another, at some time in our lives.

[offinventory]

That's patently false. See the adaptive device I'm making.

... yes.

[noniad]

Precisely so.

Our capacity to accept help does not always match our need, but that is another matter entirely. I am grateful for your aid, and will see you soon.

[offinventory]

Accepting is still easier than asking. At least then you're getting the help.

I'll be here.
