->'''Problem:''' Your face looks like it's 58 and your body feels like it's 60. Your mind feels like it's lived for one day or a hundred. Both longer than they ought to be, the day and the century.... But for how long, then, has this thing attached to your sentience walked the planet’s crust? Time to start racking those brains of yours, Elder One. When and where were you born?\\
'''Solution:''' You were born in the year '07, in the last year of the Commune of Revachol, right before it fell. In the Old Military Hospital, on the ground floor where people usually came to die, during a snowstorm. The Revolution had about one year left to go and the fires were still burning bright. There were explosions in the blizzard. This was 44 years ago. You are 44 years old. The bloating might never leave your face, but beneath it -- you still have some years. You still have some hope.

->'''You:''' What's a "contact microphone"?\\
'''Acele:''' A contact mic records sounds from inside things. Like this ice.\\
'''Encyclopedia:''' Your mangled brain would like you to know that there is a boxer called Contact Mike.\\
'''You:''' Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother?\\

->'''Inland Empire:''' What if *you* only appear as a large singular body, but are actually a congregation of tiny organisms working in unison?\\
'''Physical Instrument:''' Get out of here, dreamer! Don't you think we'd know about it?\\
'''Volition:''' If it were true those organisms would *not* be working *in unison*.\\

'''Perception:''' You know -- like the bits they put into public piss bowls; probably called *Fermi-Discrete* or *Axel* or something. At some point in its journey the ledger has seen the inside of a public toilet.\\
'''You:''' I know, I know. Sylvie already told me I dunked it in the toilet.\\
'''Perception:''' If you knew it was dunked in the toilet before getting chucked into the trash, why're you sniffing it?\\
'''You:''' Maybe, uh-- Maybe it's my fetish? Maybe? Ever think of that, nose?\\
'''Perception:''' Garbage-toilet stink is not your fetish and you know it. Your nose does *not* fucking like this.\\
'''You:''' Are you angry with me, nose?\\
'''Perception:''' Yeah, turns out your nose doesn't like self-indulgent literal-shit huffing. *Quelle fuckin' surprise*. Come on, no more -- the ledger is going back down, away from your nose now.
