BARITONES

This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

They are important all the same. If you refuse entirely, very well, but I would suggest we steal a few more mental effects. If we take lungs and skin, then the last two be mental.

Logic and passion perhaps? Desire and reason? Hate and forbearance? Things that may balance each other.

Hm. I favor this "balancing" approach. Desire and reason is my preference.

That is fine, any of those would suit I believe.

Yes—in the end I won't be too picky about it.

Will and Hubris.

[Sighs.]

Well... I am not sure hubris is one I wish to be stuck with but as you like.

It's the last round, isn't it? How much harm could we really do?

[ she asks, hubrisly ]

Ah, but because it is the last we can take something a little stronger, but still easier to control. And because, on the slim chance we fail, being stuck with hubris could be rather less than ideal.

But it is your decision.
