[ Kasumi's preferred method of dealing with the network is much like her preferred approach to life in general: lurk in the shadows, occasionally emerge to poke things just to see if they're entertaining. But every now and then, she has something she actually wants to say. This is one of those times.

Everyone's been buzzing about all these puzzles and riddles that have been showing up, and she's been keeping an eye on it more or less, though she can't say she's particularly engaged by it. That shows in her voice when she starts to speak. ]

Since we all seem to be enjoying thought puzzles so much these days, here's one to try out: What would you do if you found out that nothing you did had any real life consequences? Not for you or for anyone else. Not now or in the future.

Would you still follow the "rules" or would you toss them out and have a little fun?

Whose rules?

Society's. Your own. Someone else's. Take your pick.

Mine? Sure. Wouldn't have 'em if I didn't think they were worth living by, right? And I've always been a little dicey on the other options anyway. How about you? You don't seem like the type who needs a no-backsies waiver if there's some hell you want to raise.

[ Kasumi laughs. ]

I've been trying to decide. I've always been more of a "personal guidelines" kind of girl anyway. Even if there weren't any consequences, there are plenty of things I still wouldn't do. But I think there's a lot I would have done differently too.
