how many of you have soulmates?

did it stop you from getting sick?

Comments

[telepathy]

i thought they said it was supposed to help us to have one

[constellational]

Well, if it's any reassurance
The... voice in my head seems quieter when he's around
As for the sickness...
My body's always been a pain in the ass stubborn
It's no different here

[telepathy]

what does that mean

[constellational]

You mean, my body?
Let's just say it's never really worked the way it's supposed to
Having a Soulmate here hasn't changed much
I'm still sick
Are you?

[telepathy]

yes
i dont have one
i thought that could be why

[constellational]

Hard to tell
Without one I might already be dead
In time, maybe we'll have enough data to generate reliable statistics
But right now it seems weirdly similar to a fictional disease we had back home

[telepathy]

hanahaki
i have heard of it
is your home japan

[constellational]

My family's from Japan
But I'd say my home is... Earth
Are you from Earth then?

[telepathy]

earth is what we call the ground
dirt
i am from the wilds

[constellational]

Right! Yeah, that's what we call it too
But it's also the name of the planet I'm from
Earth... even though water covers about 70% of its surface
Don't ask
Where are the wilds, exactly? Or is that the name of your planet?

[telepathy]

where?

[ hm ]

the soundless wilds are the desert between the coast in caravacia and tau
wait
kossos took tau
between caravacia and kossos

[constellational]

Are they... actually soundless?
Or were they called that way to describe... well
Yeah, I guess deserts tend to be a little quieter

[telepathy]

its empty
compared to other places
i guess
thats what the merchants say
fewer people fewer animals

[constellational]

Makes sense
Deserts don't tend to be bustling with activity
Guess that's true even on different planets
That being said... If there's anyone you trust here
Go for it
A soulmate, I mean
It might help

[telepathy]

its just hearing their thoughts right
