Private to Siobhan, Laina, Murderbot over the Sendjewel Network

[ohaiyo_isekai]

WARNING: frank discussion of IRL transphobia; the deep deep spoilers to the Wonders of Mundus series as a whole are likely.

To Siobhan, Laina:
I - suspect you two had a better idea than I did of who young Tsukuda was but I would speak to you both about the context.

To Murderbot:
I suspect you are more inclined to talk to me over the Sendjewel than in person. My name is, for the sake of argument, Hikaru Aozora; I knew you in the story as Rin. I'd like to talk with you about what I perceived of what happened if you'll allow me.

Speaking of my younger self being a ridiculous little twerp.

…you know “Akira the Blue” was a reference to a fantasy movie and it’s wizards of many colors? He was just relieved you weren’t - hostile to him for wanting his hormones.

[ugh_emotions]

I don't know that one. What's it called? Do you have a copy?

And why the fuck would I be hostile about his hormones? I don't care if he can't afford them.

…you really have no idea why, do you. Bless you for that, Namers can be so unreasonable about letting folk identify themselves as they see fit.

I’ll see if I can find a copy of Jackson’s take on the Three Jewels for A Crown trilogy. Quite unfortunately Akira’s backpack did not go with me back to the stacks, so I can’t immediately.

What, you think they'll object to your gender? That's stupid.

(Just when it thinks humans couldn't find a way to get even more stupid about gender, they find a way to do so anyway. Ugh.

It's okay. I've got other media. And there's all these books, I guess. Except none of them are fucking finished.

I agree - that people do and have is nonsense of the highest order. See also the aforementioned mortal enemies, though this is the least of those graceless, fascist thugs sins.

(SecUnit was starting to suspect that Hikaru never stopped talking like he was in a serial with really, really over dramatic dialogue. It was kind of fascinating to watch; it had never seen a real human talk like that.)

Right. Well...you probably don't have to worry about them here. Apparently any violent actions get you taken away to a boat. Don't ask me why a boat; I have no fucking idea.

[He has been in character so long as Hikaru Aozora, the Wizard of the Thunder from a Blue Sky, that he can’t stop talking in high fantasy diction, yes.]

Her allies don’t need to be here to bomb my house. All they need is my address. But point taken.

Your residence needs better security. Relying on keeping location data unknown is inadvisable.
