[ And Dorian can tell RIGHT AWAY that he pressed a nerve.

Is this about the Apocalypse thing? This might be about the Apocalypse thing.

Shit. ]

Of course people care about the things that scare them. They care and hope they won't ever see them again.
At least, most people do.

The things that torment them consume.
There is no out anymore.
They drown, they fester, they lose their minds and their faces and still it is not enough.
It will never be enough anymore because they cannot die.
And they are watched.
They are watched by a sky that is no longer a sky, but an endless field of bloodshot eyes.

[ hey Jon, what the fuck

This is interesting and wonderfully creepy but also what the fuck ]

Big Brother is quite literally watching you.
And it's better to be wary of the immediate danger than the big all-powerful eye in the sky.
Am I right?

Yes.

[He's trying to get himself under control and rein it in a bit.]

There are things that are closer.

It does make me wonder.
Eventually, you'd imagine the Eye would get bored.
What does it do when what it sees are things it's seen already?

I doubt it has the capacity for boredom.
Its avatars are more in danger of that.

Everything that can think has the capacity for boredom.
That's why everything that can think seeks out exciting things at some point in their lives.

I'm not sure if they think or they're creatures of pure instinct.
I think the Watcher cares for me, but it's possible that's just a very human interpretation of its actions.
I'm useful to it.
Once that usefulness expires, I don't know what it might do to me.
