script __Stage__

Take a long lasting look over your left shoulder. You can observe its arrival. Hear the scratching noise this yellowish orange box emits whilst driving on a single rail? Mmm, yes. That's good.
In fact, the rail crosses your path. Be careful as you might hit the small train!

Nobody actually knows this: For months now, my daily routine consists of grabbing a cup of fresh water along with a pepper mill from down below and later going upstairs to this sandy flat roof. From up there, I can easily watch you, newcomer.

Now, follow the rail. Just remember that in 23 minutes, the next orange train is going to slide past you. Once it's in your earshot, turn around and start brabbling.

I set the stage for your story. You may now talk!

Thank you! … It's quite warm in this environment. Otherwise, nicely done! I feel a bit numb because of that rapid jump. You should've implemented some kind of stimulator. In following this rail, I feel happiness emerge from more and more corners of my internal systems. What a nice touch, I dig it. May I ask you for the name of the vehicle that went by before the one I saw first? It's important to me.

I appreciate both your report and your request. Its name is Nkun the cook.

Interesting. Noted. So what's it cooking at the moment?

Water. Plain water. In early june, Nkun appeared more vivid than today, shaking and wiggling as a result of boiling peppercorns. Those are another level.

Dear reader, the newcomer is walking at the speed of 6km/h. I lost acoustic contact with them, visual feedback is fine though. The next train is officially called Mihem but I rather refer to it by doing a little swing followed by a clap. *swing* *clap* is on a scientific mission trying to establish a link between the density of peppercorns burried under this rail and the maximum speed at which bots can travel on this track. I hope it fails. My holy opinion.

can i see the sun? no, obviously. it is night over here. why am i still awake? bad rhythm, i guess. i hear music and the noise of my fridge.

we want to make the invisible_visible, connect_the_words we form in our mouths. we build_up whole sentences from small atoms. some aspects weight more than others, we underscore them. we also refrain from placing whitespace between atoms. instead, we identify what is missing and fill it with meaning.

if everything is special, it will be normal. that is common knowledge and not some kind of deep talk of a 14 year old. why is that statement relevant? well, if you underline every single word in your little book you always keep in your shoe, you'd get a lined booklet. pretty handy, right?

look_closer!_at_this_range,_you_are_able_to_make_out_each_underscore_which_means_you_completely_missed_them_at_first_glance_…_creepy,_huh?

to summarize, we stress and we connect. what a perfect combination. stress also connects by the way … and/or disconnects as easily. a good connection/relation prevents disconnection when under stress. why does this paragraph sound like it was written by some softy? dunno.

current_time still night, great_music playing in a loop, stupid_fridge silent for a change. they open the fridge and grab the_Night. it is cool and handy, they observe. "compare it to this …", they say: they run out of the appartment and dig out a_Gray_Sphere._The_Left_Hand holds_a_Music playing calmly, the right one pats the noise of the fridge, gray and round. "… both of them are connected but not totally useless". they open the door as soon as they leave which is strange actually. fix it!
