Backdated to 2 days into the second week of the month of the goat

As many of you already know, I retained the ability to discern the will of other creatures, and I have been employing that ability to gain knowledge of the Singer of the corrupted Song. It is a draining process, so I had to split it into two forays, and I reported the first a few days ago. I just finished the second one.

Just for the ease of listeners, this was what I discovered the first time: There were two wills, and one was dominating the other. The dominated will was bitter and anguished.

This time I focused my efforts more deeply on the dominated will. These are the results. The Singer has been...programed by that other will. There is room for disobedience to that programming, but the Singer shies away from contemplating it because of the painful consequences. The Singer also wills for an end, either for healing and freedom from the demands of the other will, or for death and the rest that brings, but does not strive towards those because the Singer believes both options to be impossible.

We can give the Singer hope for an end, and I believe we must. That anguish must be stopped, one way or another. Who is with me, and does anyone have ideas on how to undo programming of that kind?

To be fair, Jules will probably get it when he's himself again. That new girl, Amanda, maybe too.

If Jules isn't too busy trying to run screaming from himself, anyway.

Maybe I should see if I can distract him with the Liminal Wifi plan.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yes. Do that. Maybe it's superfluous with the psychic network... but I miss internets.

[claudiometer]

It'll be more of an intranet than anything, but better than nothing. And a good spot for infopool stuff.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah, totally.

[No, no, don't suggest an anonmeme, Thorne. That never goes well.]
