<p>Yared was not sure how he felt that the politicians — true politicians, at least — had been right. Demma had said, so, Jonas and True Name had said so, and yet something about the whole process felt slippery to him. It was a feeling beyond even that, for while that implied that it was simply politics as usual, this was something more visceral. It was slimy, like the algae that clung to his skin after he’d gone swimming in a small pond during a visit south: something that made him specifically feel disgusting.</p>

<p>Yared was not sure how he felt that the politicians — true politicians, at least — had been right. Demma had said, so, Jonas and True Name had said so, and yet something about the whole process felt slippery to him. It was a feeling beyond even that, for while that implied that it was simply politics as usual, this was something more visceral. It was slimy, like the algae that clung to his skin after he’d gone swimming in a small pond during a visit west: something that made him specifically feel disgusting.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because they <em>had</em> been right, hadn’t they? They’d been right that there were strings to be pulled. They’d been right that politics was a game that was played by the bigger players, that the bigger players used the smaller ones as pawns, that the goal was some non-zero-sum game of pushing the populace around like a fungible good.</p>
|
||||
<p>He had been the pawn, and his belief had been his utility. He was the knight moving three spaces up, one space over to outwit some other politician’s bishop.</p>
|
||||
<p>They’d been right, both Demma and the sys-side pair, because support for secession had swung his way with surprising rapidity, and there had suddenly been other strident voices that had once been on the other side of the equation agreeing with him, arguing along side him for the right of the System to become a political entity of its own.</p>

<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> A lot of the earliest sims were based around nature, actually. It’s as if people wanted to reach for places that they loved phys-side.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>True Name:</strong> Or to counteract the thought that they now live in a computer.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> True Name, naturally, takes the pessimistic approach.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> To turn it around, what do you both like best up there?</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> Oh shit. You can’t do this to me. I’m not ready!</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>True Name:</strong> He loves that he can still be a slimy politician without any of the actual hard work.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> Ugh.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> The problem is, you’re not wrong. I loved what I did phys-side, and I have to admit that I still love it here.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> I also really like coffee. Coffee and food. I get to have all of those that I want without worrying.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> Oh! And alcohol. No liver disease, and also you can choose when to sober up.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> Oh damn, that’s awesome. I like wine well enough, but being drunk is mostly escapism. If I could find that fun balance with friends, that’d be nice.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> You can’t phys-side?</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> If I had any local friends, maybe!</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>True Name:</strong> Ouch. Well, you have friends up here, and we would gladly take you to bars good and bad.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>True Name:</strong> As for me, I love all of the variety in sims and people. When I am not working or sleeping, I will walk the public sims, jumping from one to another when I have had my fill of them.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> That sounds nice. I’ve only traveled a few times, and still within Ethiopia. There’s different climates and such, but only so much.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>True Name:</strong> I will take you walking with me, then.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> And I’ll be a slimy politician with you!</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> Ugh, you’re the worst.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> Anyway, thanks for letting me vent and lifting my spirits.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Yared:</strong> I needed it.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Jonas:</strong> Of course, Yared.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>True Name:</strong> And please remember, uploading is always an option, and we would welcome you with open arms. I know that you will come join us, sooner or later.</p>
