Log - OTA! - What’s the difference between a corpse and a shirt?
Who: Everyone.
When: Wednesday evening, Jan 11th
Where: A rented out bar, downtown.
Summary: The wake for George Milton.
Warnings: N/A (will update as needed)
If anyone of the forcibly kidnapped to Gloucester deserved to be remembered, it was George Milton. In many ways, he was the best of them. He had been kind. He had always been willing to help and lend a hand. Unlike some whose first choice was violence (because what else was there), he had chosen to forgo that route and had come up with a much more clever solution. The solution saved lives.
It had not felt right to have a formal service for him. To put it simply, he was not a formal person. And so after much calling around, a bar had been found where they could rent out the entire place before business got too busy. It was just for a couple of hours. People could come and say nice things about George. It's what he deserved after all.
So come on in, have a beer or two, and sit a spell. Maybe you'll feel like sharing a story about George or maybe you're just there to pay your respects. There's a break in the weather, the clouds only filling up half of the nighttime sky. No acid snow for tonight.

"Which all sound very noble but I can't help but think how dangerous it is."

...And a strong desire to never be vulnerable to vast and unknowable monsters ever again.

"You're right, but I'm used to being out on the battlefield." Cortana doesn't think that Kate is hiding. Cortana feels useless, fearful, and restless with a hated enemy so close and her stuck in this robot body unable to directly do anything about it.

"So I wonder how long it took them to figure out we disassembled the furniture and stuck rotting fish inside?" By we she mostly means herself, because she got way too into George's fish plan and went more than a little overboard, but she won't take all the credit.

But then she grins. "Still worth it." Your friend is a horrid gremlin, Kate. The whole chronologically only 11 thing is probably really obvious right now.
...Not that she isn't kind of a brat normally anyway.

Not the best use of her entity fueled abilities, but worth it in that instance.

"It was. Lucky, that is. Not so much now, but it's not the worst thing I lost escaping the Eye." She pauses. "At least, I'm pretty sure it was the Eye."

She looks at Kate curiously. "Why? You got a better idea?"

In fact, the idea makes her feel a little sick, considering what she did with those abilities of hers before being taken from her world.

She's not carrying a massive database with her, no recordings of every significant piece of media or inconsequential data she's never needed but that is still there just in case she does need it someday. Nor is she able to process data at a rate faster than could ever be possible for a Human. But the languages, the experience, the expertise? They're all there.

"But ...it's nice to not feel the hunger anymore. Especially now that I've realized just how much it was influencing me." It might not be visible on the surface, but Cortana has noticed the change. The idea that the Eye had such a grip on her ...it's chilling.

"I bet it's a relief not to feel that particular pang." Kate wishes that she could say that she didn't feel it every single day.
no subject
"I could technically feel even before I had a body, I just didn't have anything to feel with."
"Still, you're right. It is a relief not to deal with that anymore. At least now I'm not feeling hunger I can't satisfy."
