notdreaming | 002 - I know who I was when I woke up this morning

I'll be honest, that was a lot less bizarre than turning into a Terran mechanic.

[ Kara brushes a strand of hair out of her face and over her ear while she faces the camera, which she has set up at eye level and is apparently quite comfortable using. She smiles amiably at the device, as though to verify that it really wasn't as bad as certain people have made it out to be. She turns away for a brief moment to pick up a book, which she displays to the camera: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. ]

I was wondering how many of you are familiar with this book. I found it in the library. I thought it was pretty weird as a kid, but I just read it again and I really kind of like it. Is it true that it was written for the daughter of a family friend of the author's?

Oh, and two other things. [ She counts them off on her hand. ]

To the boy who made the pies, they were fantastic, and thank you! [ She grins brightly before turning sober again and a bit sheepish. She's not really sure this is worth mentioning. ] And, uh... I really have to ask, does anyone know what the deal is with the huge dog? Not you, Dog, I know why you're here, but this one doesn't talk. I've seen it twice now, and never with anyone else around. It seems nice enough, just... strange.

[Not killing. Merely erasing from ever having existed.]

[There was a difference.]

[Otherwise...]

The cruel, illogical nature of life that brings about nothing but Pain and Suffering.

[ no there isn't ]

Wow, that sure does sound emotional, immature and like you think you know everything. [ Smugness is not helping you Kara ]

Because you have not experienced the things I have. Seen the universe from a purely objective perspective.

Tell me you have not experienced unnecessary pain in your life.

[ Well. Okay. Yes. But just because it's true doesn't mean she has to concede the point. ]

Okay, in what way are you not totally full of it? Help me understand.

First, answer my question: have you experienced Pain?

Yes, I've experienced all sorts of pain, thanks.

Then you understand.

You simply do not realize the potential of being able to eliminate that Pain once and for all.

No, I don't, so explain it so that I can understand. Convince me that you're not just a child striking out at the hand that hurt you.

[ Like Kara has never done THAT before... ]

You believe my motives are pure revenge.

I believe your motives only make sense to you because you want revenge.

Incorrect.

If it was revenge I sought, I would have focused my attack soley at those who had caused me harm. Instead, I seek the bigger picture.

And we're back to you being a child lashing out.

I am not "lashing out" now.

Only because you can't end all of existence from the barge.

[...]

You are not completely incorrect.

Yeah, that's what I thought. You may not think much of humans but you're not exactly incomprehensible.

My apathy is not limited to merely the human species. It extends to every living race in all the universe.

I'm human, so my point still stands.

You are making this personal.

It is personal. I want to understand what makes a person do what you tried to do. What makes a person think that it's okay. [ What made H'el such a stupid mean lying traitorous psychopath. ]

What you want is irrelevant.

I have spoken nothing but the truth, and yet you still do not understand. Perhaps you simply are incapable of seeing things as I do.

Or maybe it's just not as 'logical' as you claim it is.

Impossible. My circuits are set to function only in logical terms.

[Which is the primary reason she is so "certain" of everything.]

I come from a family of the most renowned scientists on Krypton. If you can't explain it to me in a way that makes logical sense, then I can only conclude that there is no logical sense.

Your claim would hold merit, if you could provide irrefutable evidence of your position as the ultimate authority on Logic itself. As you cannot, I choose to refute said claim.
