Characters Talking

[kerravonsen]

Funny what you think of in the shower.

Avon: I would never consider suicide.
Cally: Are you afraid of the dark?
Avon: I prefer to see where I'm going.
Cally: Are you afraid of the light?
Avon: Darkness equals light? Typically irrational.
Cally: It is not dark, it is just unknown.
Avon: I prefer to know where I'm going.
Cally: There's one way of finding out.
Avon: A piece of knowledge which I would be unable to benefit from.
Cally: Are you afraid of the dark?
Avon: I prefer not to rush headlong into the unknown. I leave that to Tarrant.

Leave it to Cally to try to talk someone into the moral and intellectual rightness of suicide. That's so her. :)

[kerravonsen]

That's so her.

Absolutely in character for both of them. It would be good to see this in a fic some day.

Thank you!

Though part of the reason I posted it was because I was fairly certain I wouldn't be able to stick it into a fic...

Avon and Cally have much better conversations in the shower than I do.

And I couldn't even ring up and say "You are evil, Ross", because you'd already gone back to Canberra. 8-P

Definitely in character... but the first time I read it, I thought you meant they were in the shower.

It worries me that them saying this in the shower still made sense.

Oh dear. Well, it didn't even cross my mind that my original sentence was ambiguous until hawkeye7 made his remark.

Based on this dialogue, Cally reminds me rather of the Eliza computer program.

Oh dear.
