[paraclete]

Who: Kaworu Nagisa and whomever else
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: he's in his quarters on the Vanquish.
When: 9/13, which is the anniversary of a horrible catastrophe on his planet!! also his birthday. but mostly the catastrophe thing.

I've gotten a sponsorship box, although I am still not entirely sure what that means. Anyway, it came with the assertion that I should have a wonderful day. But since I hope that you, the reader, will have a wonderful day, and because it would take me a very long time to eat all of this, I'm going to leave it out and let you come and take a cup full, if you'd like to.



It's sitting in the cargo hold of the Vanquish. There are other things there, as well, but you can find this particular box thanks to the glitter on the floor surrounding it. You can take more than a cup, too. I won't be monitoring it. I want to share any bounty I can with any creature I can. A debt is no good.

I do have one request, independent of boxes and cups. If you have the time, and if you feel nostalgic, would you tell me about your planet? It can be anything you want to say. Whatever details are most vivid as the memory of your home. Whatever hallmarks you consider to define your dwelling place. Thanks.

Don't you think it would be nice to go swimming?

You'd eat those plain?

[Asuka's nose wrinkles in disdain.]

[paraclete]

[It's a few moments before he sends any video back to her, mostly because he's gathering himself up, banishing any morose look on his face to deep inside his soggy heart. So, once he does respond, he's able to look quite mellow and pleasant, since that's his specialty.]

They're good?

[Right????]

[interstices]

[Well, that took a second or two. Maybe Kaworu's just unaccustomed to swapping to video for her. She knows what day this is, too.]

You know what? They taste better on frosting.

[paraclete]

Well, frosting is very good. [It's thanks to Asuka, and the cake she made for Shinji, that Kaworu knows that at all...] I would guess most things taste better with it. [...but he might be slightly overzealous about it. Well, an Angel's tastes...]

when they told you to have a good day did they indicate why they gave you a huge bag of sprinkles

[paraclete]

Well, sprinkles are good. Want some?

[robitussin]

no i want to solve the mystery of sprinkles

[paraclete]

I wouldn't call it a mystery.

[Or maybe, uhh,]

Life is fraught with unknowns, and doesn't such a vastness bring joy?

[robitussin]

you're acting more pointlessly cryptic than normal

[paraclete]

I just think that, if they had a reason for delivering these, it probably is not important.

Anyway, they said to enjoy myself, so I'll eat some of them, too.

[robitussin]

highly suspicious to be honest

but more importantly please don't just eat plain sprinkles?

[paraclete]

You're the second person to criticize that. It's no good?

[robitussin]

sprinkles are gross

[paraclete]

[...]

They're colorful!

[robitussin]

colorful things can be gross

[paraclete]

Opal, never in my life have I eaten anything colorful that was gross.

[beathach]

Are you eating those plain?

[paraclete]

I have recently been advised against this? Yeah, though.

[beathach]

Add a second advisement, I advise against it too.

They might taste good if you mix it with the vanilla stuff.

[paraclete]

I'll definitely note your advisement, but where does it come from? I put a handful straight into my mouth and it was great.

Though the vanilla does sound good as well...

[beathach]

They're sprinkles, and they're made of mostly sugar. And that can be bad for you in large quantities. They're usually use as a topping for ice cream.

[paraclete]

Oh! Nothing is bad for me.

With the exception of that time you saw me get sick. That was anomalous.

[beathach]

Don't tempt them, they may make it possible.

I remember that. I hope you weren't sick for too long.

[robitussin]

i refuse to believe you would find anything gross

that does not make it less objectively gross

[paraclete]

[That's actually a bit... spooky... to the point of being concerning. Kaworu sobers. It's uncomfortable, having his fate and livelihood in someone else's hands.]

Maybe. Well, I'll be more delicate about it, then.

Not for too long. Everything in my life got better afterward. :) Thank you; I hope I didn't shame myself too badly in front of you.
