SophiaSharon Larnia: imho
Santoshima Resident: i don't know if it's better in theatre here
Santoshima Resident: it would require a level of animation that in fact would be much more complicated
Santoshima Resident: than what is on tap
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Santoshima Resident: but I can't know for sure

Archmage Atlantis: Then you wear a fancy dress, Steve
stevenaia Michinaga: smiles, works for e, but I am not alone
stevenaia Michinaga: *me
Archmage Atlantis: It distracts
SophiaSharon Larnia: I may think for second that everything is a dream or not real, and look around to confirm it appears real
SophiaSharon Larnia: a sort of constant reaffirming, mostly not conscious of it
SophiaSharon Larnia: maybe
Archmage Atlantis: I sit here
stevenaia Michinaga: this Rocky Road ice cream here confirms reality
SophiaSharon Larnia: :D
Archmage Atlantis: Am I real?
Archmage Atlantis: Or am I an illusion?

Archmage Atlantis: does that make sense
SophiaSharon Larnia: must it
Archmage Atlantis: Not really
Archmage Atlantis: but to explore
Archmage Atlantis: yes that is the thing we are
Dash Earthboy: or nothing at all :)
Archmage Atlantis: I accepted this Archmage gig.......not my thing....but I did....now it seems to be a life that is real
--BELL--
Dash Earthboy: * dang the pool doesn't close for another hour :(
Archmage Atlantis: Speaking into the silence.......not a real thing
