Characters

THE SCIENTIST

Elya

I DON'T believe in science.

IN
Hey Elya! I'm going to ask you a few questions for a short interview, okay?
Hm
E
Ok
But make it quick.
I'm busy.
IN
What's your hottest take that people hate your for?
...
E
Why did you start with that question?
Who hates me?
IN
Oh, no, It's just a general question. Like, in theory…
Give me the names.
E
Who are these people?
IN
Elya...
I'll move in closer to them. It's such a nice coincidence that I need a new testing ground.
E
IN
Where can I get your “I EAT KIDS” t-shirt?
It's lying under the bed in the lower right corner. You can take it if you need. I don’t care.
E
IN
No, I mean… where can I find one like that?
Want paired T-shirts?
E
IN
😑
Let’s say.
I got it from some shady guy in a dirty underpass somewhere on the fringes of the world. You can try to find him, but I think he's already been imprisoned.
E
It was a gift for reactive uranium.
IN
What dream keeps coming back to haunt you?
I don’t have dreams. That’s stupid.
E
IN
Be honest.
I’ll blacklist you if you talk too much.
E
IN
What’s the most irritating thing a person can do?
For some, it’s enough just to exist.
E
IN
...
Do you know such people?
Kind of.
E
IN
Is it… I don’t know… Alva? Does she annoy you?
Mm? No. She’s hot. I'm the one who annoys her.
E
Have you ever seen her face when she’s angry? It's priceless. Hahahaha.
IN
You’re risking your life.
That’s my hobby.
E
IN
Got any spicy lab secrets you’ve buried?
Elya?
Why are you ignoring me?
Elya
Elya
Okay, next question…
What’s something you’ve accidentally blown up?
Max’s kitchen.
E
Hahahaha.
And your laptop.
IN
Wait.
Missed call
Missed call
Missed call
Pick up the phone!
The subscriber is temporarily unavailable.
E
IN
Do you think I'm completely dumb?
Yes.
E
The subscriber is temporarily unavailable.
IN
...
And what’s something you’ve intentionally blown up?
Everything else
E
IN
Elya…
Do you think Blacksmith will notice the missing wall?
E
IN
Do you trust yourself with a time machine? Be honest.
Dear, I even trust myself with the components of an atomic bomb. Don't ask me about toys.
E
IN
Based on our previous topic, I would be afraid of this the most.…
If you had a time machine, what would you do? Where would you go?
Five thousand years ago in ancient India
E
IN
Why that choice?
According to Indian scriptures, God came there at that time. I wanna look.
E
IN
What’s one law of nature you refuse to respect?
I hate the fact that I need to sleep. It’s a lame feature. The developers are idiots.
E
And to eat.
And generally maintain the existence of the body.
Damn, it would be cool to just not exist as a human.
I want to be an entity.
Like, you know…
The spirit of creation. Like… I kind of exist, and kind of don’t. I’m nowhere and I’m everywhere. Cool, right?
IN
Eh...
How would you briefly describe your childhood?
We rode in garbage cans like they were swings. You know, when you get in there and a few people rock the can back and forth. It was funny.
E
IN
Emn...
You know what else was funny?
E
To then run away from the police. They never caught us.
Suckers

Blacksmith

Should've become a monk instead.

IN
Hi Blacksmith!
I gonna ask you some questions. You don’t mind, do you?
Ok
B
IN
Is Blacksmith a real name?
No.
B
IN
Hmm… I see, so it’s a call sign.
Can you tell me your real name?
No.
B
IN
Why?
No.
B
IN
…
Okay, so… Do you actually forge stuff, or why do people call you Blacksmith?
No.
B
IN
Did they start charging for letters again?
No.
B
IN
Oh, really?
I'm trying to interview you, be a little more talkative.
49.62035° N, 65.17914° E
B
IN
What’s this?
Location
B
I don't like texting. If you want to talk, come over.
IN
Blacksmith, no.
We need text messages. This is a text-based format, so try your best.
Ok.
B
IN
Eh…
Let’s continue.
That axe… decoration, or something else?
I just found it. A good tool
B
IN
I've heard that you can even use a sharpened shovel as a weapon. Is it true?
Doesn't have to be sharpened
B
IN
Hah…
What’s the best feeling in the world?
Pacification
B
IN
Do you often manage to achieve this?
No. But I’m working on it.
B
IN
Are cigarettes also part of an attempt to achieve appeasement?
I would like to answer 'yes'.
B
But it’s not good to cover up bad habits with deep meaning.
IN
Self-critical
When was the last time others have seen your smile?
You should ask others.
B
IN
How would you define evil? Can someone choose it consciously?
Circumstances
B
IN
Hm? Which of the two questions is the answer to?
Both.
B
IN
😩😩😩
What do you think happens after everything ends?
I'd like to know. I'll even be fine if it's just darkness. There's a certain calmness to it.
B
IN
What’s in your pocket right now?
Lighter and teleporter
B
IN
Do you believe people can change, or just reveal themselves?
You ask questions that are difficult to discuss through messages.
B
I'll try to visit you next week if you really want to talk about this.
IN
You're hopeless.
If Max wrote your biography, what would it be called?
Ask Max.
B
Jgfhjgbf
Gj,hygjdsssssssss
IN
??
What’s this?
Sorry.
B
It's a bit hectic around here.
I got distracted.
IN
What are you doing right now?
Fighting.
B
I'm on a mission.
IN
Oh… So… Why didn’t you say it was inconvenient to talk?
I said that I don't like texting
B
IN
These are different things!
Ijkgllklll
B
Sorry.
IN
Are you ok?
Yes.
B
Just think I'll need to sew up my arm. Unlucky day.
IN
Oh…
By the way
B
Recently, someone blew up a wall at the new facility.
Do you know who it was?
IN
No.
Ok.
B
You’re a good friend.
