dissenter[the usual forest of books that graces qilby's workplace seems to have dwindled since the last time he showed his face on the network -- seems like some comments about him practically keeping shibusen's library all to himself have actually got to him.
or... maybe it's that sheaf of notes that looks suspiciously like a dozen or so overdue notices. perhaps due dates really do apply to kings! in any case, despite everything, he appears livelier than he's been recently -- with the sort of energy that suggests he's been doing that thinking thing he does so well again.]
I'm almost embarrassed to admit I'd never thought about it before now, but… We're not the only ones affected by Madness, are we? Us sentient beings, I mean. I thought that our failure would mean the crumbling of cities, the end of reasoned civilization-- but the last mission made it clear that the world, and all its flora and fauna are on the line as well. [unless giant, mutated creatures and bloated mushrooms are the norm on this world. which he hopes they aren't.] I fear the longer the war goes on, the less of a world there'll be left to reclaim.
If anyone should be qualified to help, I believe I'll turn some of my attentions to finding a way to reverse the corruption inflicted on affected plant life. But, considering our short-handedness vis-à-vis doctors for people, I can't be disappointed should no one be interested.
[he's seen the recruiting attempts, kurapika. it's enough to make you lose your faith in peoples' capacity to help, eh?
a pause; his ever-present smile falters somewhat, and he clears his throat and looks at a point just to the side of the 'camera.'] And… I have one more entirely unrelated concern. If anyone knows of a kind of shampoo I can purchase that won't make the young man at the store laugh at me, I'd sure love it if they shared their wisdom.
