Those sound the same to me.

@Host

Okay, so in an "I'm trying to understand this thing and until then I'm not completely sure what I'm saying" kind of way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Uh... okay?

@Host

Not in a "talking gibberish" kind of way, but a "what actually is this thing that I'm talking about" kind of way.

*Chuckles.* I may be enjoying the company, but it'll be a while before you or anyone else quickly gains my trust. Gotta keep my skin intact after all.

As for leads, I've got practically nothing, only one or two interesting words without context. So I'm gonna spend the night here and do some more digging in the e-library tomorrow, since I spent half of my day just looking up terms.

@Stabby

Smart. If you're gonna stick around, I'm going to get around to the other budding civilisations you talked about and see if I can find anything out from them.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I don't really know what you're talking about.

@Host

Neither do I, to be honest.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Chills?

@Host

The evidence that you're feeling an emotion of some sort?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It's like a substitute emotion.

@Host

Like, less chills, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

What do you mean?

@Host

Like, do you actually remember the emotion—or do you remember the circumstances that led to it, and the emotion appears?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It's kind of like a little version of the feeling, I guess.

@Host

Interesting. Do you know if it's because the circumstances that you remember give rise to the emotion?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I guess, kind of? Do you not remember feelings?

@Host

I remember that the feeling happened, but not really how it felt like.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Wwwhat do you mean?

@Host

Like, how do you remember a feeling? Does the feeling come back when you remember the event?
