004. With no alarms, and no surprises

For those of you who were wondering what happens if those insipid little stones we were given break: I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it until we're certain that it's absolutely nothing, but...

...Well, I certainly don't feel any different, either.

Somehow I doubt I'm enough of a soulless abomination for it to be immediately obvious. Maybe I just shaved a couple of years off my lifespan.

is that how souls work? I don't know how souls work but I don't think that's it

In my defense, we don't know that that isn't how they work.

[................]

I guess

but this still seems like an incredibly bad idea

Well, what's done is done. I can't say I regret it any.

are you sure you can't tell a difference?
because the whole glowing heart thing seem to react to emotions in some capacity

Nothing that I've noticed thus far, anyway. I'm not disregarding the possibility that I might notice something eventually, but it's not like breaking the stone is going to kill you.

[There's a noticeable pause before his next response.]

I think someone just went and decided to download a random bit of useless information into my brain

it might not kill you but now I'm pretty convinced you literally shattered a piece of your soul

[...darius

bro

you ok]

Possibly. Memories can seem like that sometimes - I've received a few things along those lines myself.

What makes you say that, however...?

because I just remembered literal soul rocks out of the blue
they're kind of this weird pinkish red color

it looks almost exactly like the color of my heart rock, actually, and that's just creepy

Well, that's positively macabre. I'm sorry...?

I really wish this place would quit it with the non sequiturs

It happens to you often, then, I take it.

yeah
so far at a really irritating rate of once a month

[.....]

and it kind of makes this whole heart situation worse

What, with the soul...rock...things?

yeah, exactly

I'm pretty convinced the rocks are at least partially literally our souls

Well, that is what they implied, I'm fairly sure...?

I take it you're not really bothered by the idea that they apparently have the ability to rip souls from bodies

They said that it was only part of our souls, to begin with. I think I would be decidedly less...alive? If the entire thing were in there and I shattered the damn thing.

I guess

personally, I'd be a bit more cautious, but it was your soul rock

If it's any consolation to you, I have several people telling me to update them on my condition.

So if I come down with a sudden mild case of death, feel free to use me as a cautionary tale, because I'm sure you'll hear about it.

I'll be sure to

but I guess you haven't keeled over so far

Not in this lifetime, anyway.

[buddy]

okay you can't say something that disturbing and not elaborate

I'm fairly sure that I can. Besides, I'd think it's self-explanatory.
