[ 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?

[compellingstatement]

Yes.

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

There are things that are closer.

[brushoff]

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?

[compellingstatement]

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

[brushoff]

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.

[compellingstatement]

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.

[brushoff]

In that case, you have a simple task on your hands.
Stay useful.

[compellingstatement]

Clearly wisdom I was missing from my life.

[brushoff]

I'm a man of many talents.

[compellingstatement]

And much aggravation.

[He's pulled himself together enough to get back on track.]

I expect you to contact me when you have your new contract.

[brushoff]

We both know I'll contact you before then.

[ cause he's a pain ]
