You listen and you listen carefully.

You don´t have to be sorry for a damn thing. You don´t own anything to anyone, and if that means a charming stutter showing that you think a lot before speaking, so be it.

Flush if you have to flush, stutter if that is what is going on, embrace everysingledamnpart of your adorable self.

I'm not sure that's a good idea. At all.

..Miss Jenneth is right, though. There is no reason for me to stutter here. It's awfully annoying, too (or, at least people probably think it is). It's not that I owe anything to Miss Jenneth, it's more that she's right. She has much more social experience, so I trust her judgment more than my own, usually.

Trust me, your posts have made me blush. Because they're quite awkward. With what seem like lewd implications. And I don't like to think I'm adorable, or anything like that. I think that's a way to start developing an ego. And.. I'd like to avoid that.

There is so much more out there if one is ready to open their eyes...

Your adorable stuttering was like a beautiful flower amidst a grass field, and now it got plucked. What a shame.

Ego is merely holding on to things. When you just are, there is nothing to hold on to.

If you seriously like to hear me stutter you might as well just talk to me on the IGS.. or something like that.. (I guess a private channel work too? I'm not too sure..) Seriously. I don't like to be so awful at social interaction. I don't really like that I stutter so much. And since my stutter annoys people here.. and since I can avoid it here.. I won't.

And there is the ego forcing itself in to hold on to an illusory perception of adequacy and blocking your natural flow changing in into conformity.

It isn't? Trust me, Miss Jenneth isn't the only one pointing out that I can be quite annoying from time to time. And I've really tried to not be annoying. I'm failing at it sometimes, I know, but I'm going to keep trying, I guess. And, Miss Jenneth really isn't "forcing me", or anything like that. She really doesn't have any power over me (though, I guess she kinda knows Commander Adams, so she could always talk to him, I guess..).. So I'm doing this because I want to.

Ms. Aubbes has spoken quite well for herself, and courteously. But I'm going to get out the knives for you, Morgana Tsukiyo.

For those of us who face an issue in our daily lives-- stuttering, pauses-- being singled out because of it is not a comfortable thing.

It's not a friendly thing, either.

When you you say her stutter is, itself, "adorable," are you admiring her ideas? Her mind? You're not. You're "admiring" a problem that makes it hard for us to communicate effectively. A keen mind is threatening, but one that flounders when trying to communicate is not. It's cute. It's harmless. When you point to that quality, you're pointing up a frailty, for your own amusement and others'. It's mockery, cloaked as admiration.

It's cruel.

This might be arguable if you just found her troubles when speaking in person delightful, but the fact that you'd say she shouldn't even make use of a medium where she can freely say exactly what she thinks, clearly and well, with all the eloquence she can muster, and be admired for it, means that it's not the mannerism you find attractive; it's the incapacity.

You like her helpless, and want her to stay that way. That you'd cloak that in terms of "embracing her whole self," accepting a limitation on her ability to communicate as a part who she is instead of using a method to make herself truly and fully heard, is a manipulative twist so awful that you've basically guaranteed I will trust nothing you have to say about anything, ever.

Ms. Aubbes owes me nothing. And after such a move I rather think you've nullified any debt she might have owed to you, as well.

Oh Ms Jenneth, i have no interest in a quarrel with you, even though i do love knives when they are handled properly on my skin.

In case you haven´t noticed, i don´t consider a variation of tempo on her communication an issue, or a problem, or a fraillty, or a trouble, or an incapacity, nor a limitation. In fact, considering the ammount of adjectives that you used, i do invite you to re-read what you just wrote and look with new eyes who exactly is putting her in a "helpless" position.

To listen to someone only when they talk the way you like is an excellent way of not making herself truly and fully heard. Have you ever tried to stop and really listen to her, or all you could see was a variation of tempo and the need for it, for her to change so it pleased you?

When Jenneth talks about Aubbes, i learn more about Jenneth than about Aubbes.

It's like I stopped at a Vylade novelty shoppe and found a half-cred novel for sale called 'Lesbians In Space', turned to a random page, and read the line there.

That's what you wrote. That's what it is to me.

I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.

[Video feed]

An Achur woman, lean and small, dressed all in black, a satin sash tied about her middle, sits cross-legged on the floor of a small, unfurnished house. A bit of what might be pale sunlight leaks in through the windows, but the only other light comes from a single candle set in a (much larger) iron candelabra set before her, an obsidian locket and quartz pendant dangling from its branches. A long, sheathed dagger rests at its base. After a moment's apparent meditation, she lifts her head to regard the camera, her candle-lit expression serene and impassive.

Ave, Ms. Tsukiyo, she says, and her eyes harden.

I ... thought, for what I want to ... say, that maybe this medium ... might ... serve best. It's ... not ... really my best, though. Mr. Galente might ... accuse me of unintentional ... poetry, but.... She sighs. ... Text is so much ... easier. Time to think, and ... compose.

I'm doing this ... impromptu ... so ... ... it kind of seems like the way to ... convey the effect properly.

Reading your comments, which I'm ... including, above ... it's not easy. A speech impediment ... is exactly what it sounds like: it's ... trouble ... speaking.

Mine's a little ... marginal. It doesn't ... really get in the way all ... that much. I don't really ... stutter ... unless I'm really upset. Sometimes I even ... lose my pauses, if I ... get really into talking about something.

... I don't know what the ... cause is, exactly, either. It might ... be cultural, in some way; Aurora Morgan does this ... too.

She blows out the candle and slowly rises, lifting the dagger as she does so. The camera rises with her.

Maybe you'd ... think a limp was adorable, too. You can still get around. Who cares if it ... makes walking difficult? Or if it hurts? Why would anyone use a cane, or get surgery to ... fix their leg? Just because it ... would make life easier? A working leg is ... just a norm selfish ... people impose on you anyway because they want you to be normal!

This last word is snarled with searing venom-- possibly enough to surprise the speaker, herself, since she falls silent and still for several seconds, a silhouette in the near-gloom.

At length she slides the dagger into the sash at her back.


I had something I was going to ... say ... about what I've learned about you ... from reading what you say about me. But ... I don't think I've the heart for ... that ... right now. And I've ... got an old friend, who's ... visiting ... to ... go see. So I'll leave this at ... that.

She bends to scoop the candelabra from its place on the floor, and turns to the door, leaving the elaborate iron candlestick on a windowsill as she goes. She pauses in the doorway.

Goodbye, Ms. ... Tsukiyo.

The door closes. The clip ends.
