Mr. Voicebox… if that is your real name…

“Yes, what do you want?”

I don’t think you were being very honest earlier.

Now, I don’t really know why this is, and I could be wrong, but I noticed something.

“Oh yeah?”

Yes. It didn’t seem to me that you asked a single question of Mr. Stonewaddle… you didn’t even ask him, in the form of a question, what his name was.

“So what?”

What I mean is… you spent a lot of time talking… but very little time listening.

“Oh, well… I feel really uncomfortable with all of this.”

Mr. Stonewaddle is very, very important to us, and he saw right through your speech there. Even you felt it, didn’t you?

“…”

I don’t want to attack you. We need you in some way, though this is all new for me… but I am positive that we will need your skills! But I don’t particularly think that you should try to assert control like you did back there.

“I don’t want to talk anymore.”

This is some hard stuff… even I am having some trouble remaining honest and open here. It’s not that I don’t want to attack you, as if I will if I have to. I don’t have to attack you, and I won’t attack you! We do need you, but there’s something we have to talk about. My problem is that I don’t know what it is.

Mr. Voicebox… who are you, really?

“I don’t want to say.”

Why not?

“I’m really kind of scared.”

What’s causing you to be scared?

“I don’t want to be kicked out.”

Well, do you belong here?

“I don’t think you should kick me out.”

I’m not saying that I will, and if you do belong here, it’s not possible for you to be kicked out.

What I’m trying to say is that I don’t know if you belong here. I can see how you might be useful, but attempting to assert control over the rest of us just isn’t going to work. There are persons awaking that will not stand for that sort of behavior.

I don’t know who I am, and I’m not really sure who you are…

I wish I did, though.

I really wish I did.
