... Why is everyone acting crazy?

I'm supposed to be the crazy one.

[That is literally his post. That's it. He's done.

Guess who hasn't been paying attention after everyone attempted messing with the comms and whatnot.

... He already hallucinates and has mood shifts and whatnot, so what's new.]

[she blinks, then has to bite her lip not to just burst into laughter]

Oh no, it gets much worse.

Mm. Well. A very big chunk of us are terrible people.

It's not a big deal.

I was joking, dear.

Shame, don't know what that means.

[Now he's just being a butthead.]

Still. Should run before you turn into a five-year-old.

Liar.

[she says with half a laugh . . . which immediately stops as she wrinkles her nose]

Considering I wouldn't be able to speak to anyone . . . that is a good idea.

[He cocks his head to the side, eyebrow raised.

Obviously, a question. What is that supposed to mean?]

[she shrugs a shoulder at the non-verbal question] I didn't learn to speak Common - English, whatever, until I was a little older than that. My first language is Elvish.

Aah.

[A thoughtful pause.]

Maybe the augment's, ahm... translate.

We've got a few elves.

They might, true. Elves . . . may not be the best idea, but I have met one or two.

Regardless, I'd rather not.

[Huh... Right.]

The half-elf thing?

[He recalls her mentioning it, back during one of their Talks.

(AKA where she bugged him into submission.)]

Mmm, the half-elf "thing". [she hums a bit] Though it is no fault of theirs.

Huh. You ever ask them what they felt about halfies?

[yeah he made a nickname for it, what of it]

Halfies? [oh my god] That's a terrible name.

The one I spoke to didn't seem to mind at all. And he said his kin wouldn't care either.

I guess not all worlds are like mine, who would have thought?

[He looks just a smidge offended.]

S'not a bad name.

[yes he's going to only focus on that instead of the actual issue of acceptance and prejudice

what do you take him for]

[that's fine with her, let's focus on the DUMB NAME]

It's a horrible name and you know it.

Think you just have no taste in names.

I have excellent taste in names, you brat. I chose "Tempest" myself.

[that's it, that's her proof]

Huh.

Why Tempest?

[her smile goes just a touch lopsided]

I became a mercenary so that I could find someone. I needed a new name, and that one suited how I felt.

[...] I thought I was clever, choosing something that was the opposite of my real name.

Hn.

....

Not the worst name you could pick.

[That was almost-a-compliment.]

You say the sweetest things, Max.

[she's taking it as a compliment]

[grumblehumblemumble.

People using his name, will he ever get used to it?]

Maybe it's a glitch.

I doubt it. You're still all grumpy.

[nice try, bro]

Don't think even a glitch can save that.

Don't say that, they will try to do it now.
