Mycelia - Conversing with Terrorists

Oh, a visitor!
Welcome to the melting library!
What brings you here?
I'm looking for my fiancée, Ava Kessler!
I see yes she's been here a few times you won't find her now, though.
What does that mean?
We haven't seen her in at least a week..
She's with her old man.
I find that hard to believe. She doesn't really like him.
She told me so.
Why should I believe you? You're terrorists guarded by a crazy old librarian.
Oh the old man is a little delusional.
Let me guess, deserts and sea and wind were mentioned.
Don't be mean See Marvell, the old man thinks there is some kind of empire in the east, but we shall not judge. He fell prey to the illusions sold to him by the powerful.
The economy of threats.
He's projecting a little, but then.. Hey we all do a desert, is just another screen.
Well it fits the melting library to have a melting librarian.
Anyway, Ava isn't here.
Look, I'm somewhat on your side. I'm a suspect for murder. They think I killed Ava. It's a matter of time before the cops arrest me.
When misery rains it pours.
I'd say it might still be a long time.. Have you seen any cops lately?
No.
Right, they probably gave up already.
There are too many people to govern.
See, the government just wants to stay in power as long as some lowly citizens kill each other - no problem, no need to spend money on this.
I'm quite sure they broke into my apartment. I escaped only because someone warned me.
What makes you think it isn't a lie? What makes you think your apartment is not totally in order right now?
I don't know sometimes I think none of this is real.
I say reality is an unlit ice rink on which we all skate.
I say reality is a skyscraper towering over a 17th century graveyard.
I say reality is a bullfight in a sandstorm.
Look, I understand you're hurt. You wanna find Ava. She was one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.
Completely lucid.
And really sexy!
Shut it, Manavis!
Well, that doesn't help me now.
She knows exactly where we are as a species our sad state, the corruption, the downfall.
The sellout.
The fallout.
Completely lucid.
Yeah, we both knew the situation is bad, but what can you do, how can you create good?
There is no such thing as good and bad. There's only catastrophe.
What I find interesting is the fact that nobody seems to be looking for me. I mean, I'm wanted for murder. Everyone should be after me!
Who knows what they're up to..
Live and let live this is the slogan.
The slogan of our government.
I don't get it!
Have you ever thought about this evacuation system I mean, do you understand it?
Of course. It is easy: if you do good you earn credits, if you earn enough credits you get evacuated, you get to the high city, you're safe.
Damn right!
Society controls itself, no need for policing. Whoever does not control himself will go down with the low city.
They've done away with the punishing thing, it's overly tiring.

al-kitab: Someone's at the door.
Police?
Dammit, I take back what I said.
al-kitab: No, someone else, someone looking really really harmless.
Oh, that might be my friend.
Here he comes.

This guy again, left l.y.n.x. like Lazarus.

di prisco: Hey Marv, well, fuck me sideways, I found something.
