Nobody gave me pamplets or the keys to an apartment the last time I was told I wasn't real. Maybe my world could take some tips from this one.

And at a time like this...I can't believe it. Am I supposed to think that none of that meant anything?

I'm real. I don't care what anybody else thinks about it.

I decided a while ago that whether I think I'm real matters more than what anybody else decides to tell me.

Maybe you're the first person that gets it, then.

[seismicwave.livejournal.com]

Maybe I've just got more experience with it being called into question than everybody else here.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Everyone seems to take it at face value. They tell you something, so it has to be true. That en't the way I see it at all. Most of the time they don't know anything at all.

You're a smart girl, then.

There wasn't much you could trust where I came from.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

People say that, yeah. You're pretty smart too if you've already figured it out.

Me neither. There was only one other person I could trust, and he en't here.

I could trust my comrades. But I doubt any of them are here.

My name is Argilla, what's yours?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Someone knows how you feel, at least.

When I was in the North, they called me Lyra Silvertongue. That's the name that I go by. It's a pleasure, Argilla. That's a nice name.

I think someone who understands is one of the best things you can ask for.

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Lyra.
