[Ok, so ... Neo had a little problem. No, strike that. She had a major problem. She was currently perched on top of a bench, glaring at the ground as if it had wronged her. She scowled down and glared at the ground before typing her message.]

First of all, I would like to just say that everyone needs to be careful about learning things.
There are things that perhaps, maybe just maybe, you don't need to learn and you're better off not knowing.
And on that subject, I am really and firmly starting to believe we should burn all books.

No, I'm serious. We absolutely need to burn every book in the city of Trench right now.
And if any of you mother fuckers understands why I'm currently freaking out, sucks to be you too.
Because I'm pretty sure it's happening again and I could really use a little help.

I'm currently hanging out in a tree in Prufrock and could use an assist.
Also, Maul? I mean it. You see a book titled Buried, just fucking burn that bad boy before you get the urge.
We do NOT need to repeat the shit that we had happen last time.

I hate reading.

He put horror into my head. There's no other way to put it. That was partially what drove me mad in October in Deerington.

[Sure, Maul had been going a little crazy beforehand but it wasn't until he attempted to kill Jon with Fern that the threads of sanity holding him together had all truly snapped.]

[threelayers]

Yeah, you were fucked up beyond recognition that time.
No offense.

And it definitely led to some stuff that you've been dealing with ever since.
So, I could see you having one hell of a beef with him if he's here.
Even if he didn't remember.

[survivalthroughhate]

None taken.

Much as I despise the man, I'll try to keep from running into him. I'd hate to break my streak of good behavior by trying to do something like decapitate him again.

[threelayers]

That's damned decent of you, considering the situation Maul.
Why, I almost dare to say it's positively egalitarian, considering I'm stuck in a tree atm.
They're going to make a model citizen out of you yet.

Heh. Perish the thought you'd lose all your edge.
That'd be no fun.

[survivalthroughhate]

Me being a model citizen? NEVER. I'd like the populace to always have a healthy degree of fear for what I could possibly do to them.

[threelayers]

Exactly. We should always have a healthy fear of our friends.
After all, it's so much better if your friends are at least a tiny bit dangerous!

[survivalthroughhate]

A healthy dose of fear is good to have even with people you trust, especially when they can do things like kill you with a thought.

[threelayers]

Or make it so that you never know where they actually are.
Since, I bet you might have a lot more trouble these days telling which is the fake me.
One of these days, I'm going to figure out how I'm doing that.

[survivalthroughhate]

Is that a challenge? If so, I accept!

[threelayers]

If you can figure out which of them is me?
You'll be the first one, and that's including yours truly, so I'll be impressed.
But hey, maybe you'll at least figure out what is going on.

So go for it.

[survivalthroughhate]

Well, everyone needs a hobby, and since most people around here object to my habit of murder this might as well be my new one.

[threelayers]

I can think of worse hobbies to have.
Especially for those times when I go crazy.
Because we both know it'll happen to all of us.

[survivalthroughhate]

Yes. Insanity seems to be a 'when' rather than an 'if' around here.

[threelayers]

Well, we'll have to just figure it out one way or another.
We're both good at coping with the crazy, after all.
