Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

[But gawking is fun.]

Observe... invisibly?

[He's mostly curious. The ability to go unnoticed is one he's always found useful, especially since his SAO days. It's the sort of thing that'll save your life in a pinch.]

Why would I need to?

I doubt it would ever be a matter of "need".

[Considering you were just running the course while invisible for no reason he can discern.]

[He grins briefly.] I suppose the mood might strike on occasion.

But most aren't terribly observant, Kirito. You know this.

Can't deny that, but that just makes you sound like a bit of a creeper.

[He wanders over to the nearest barrier in the course and vaults himself up on top to get a higher vantage point.]

Your the one whose mind immediately jumped to that assumption.

Hey, I'm just saying it sounds weird.

[He's giving the course a little bit of a walkthrough now, just to check it out.]

Mmm. It is terribly weird of me to stand about in my own course and be thoroughly ignored by those using it.

If they didn't ignore you, wouldn't that mean your hiding skill wasn't up to snuff? I'd be more annoyed by that, but that's just me.

Only if I were trying to hide. Why ought I be annoyed if I have failed to do something I am not actually doing?

I was only talking about if you were lurking around all invisible! If people don't notice you otherwise, that's their problem.

I suppose if I had been, but as I haven't been... [He shrugs.] I am merely very... quiet, when it suits me.

I can relate.

[He's already digging the course. It's pleasantly challenging?? Just gonna pick up the pace a little.]

I used to be able to hide myself when I needed to. It's kind of a relief to be out of sight unless you want to be noticed.

[Heh.]

I spent a good deal of time reading, in my youth. It was very useful to go unnoticed.

Reading is a criminal offense or something?

[What an odd thing to specify.]

Warriors have better things to do with their time, presumably. Thumping each other in the head and poking innocent creatures with sharpened sticks.

As an aspiring warrior, I can admit that that's true, but books have their uses.

[Some of them even teach you better thumping and poking methods!]

[Dryly:] Propping open the armory door, from what I've seen.

Hey, I've got nothing to do with the armory.

[He'd rather avoid it, considering who's running the thing.]

Anyway, there's a library here, right? So there's that.

It is the case in Asgard. I admittedly haven't seen Theon doing anything of the sort yet, but I'm not convinced he would recognize a book if one bit him.

[Some day they are really going to have to discuss their mutual Theon antipathy. It could be a bonding moment.]

It is better than nothing, true.

[It's not even that Theon made a bad impression - though he kind of did. Someone just happened to mention that he murdered some kids, and whoops, no thank you.]

...Hey, you do magic, right? Can you enchant a book to bite someone?

[You know. Theoretically.]

In theory.

Why. Whom are you looking to have bitten?

No one in particular. Just something that might be good to know for future reference.

[Because that sounds awesome, hilarious, and terrifying all at once.]

[He laughs.]

I wager a few about could use a sharp nibble.

For deniability's sake, I should pretend I didn't hear that.

[nevermind that it was totally his idea.]
