Who: Kaworu Nagisa ... + you!
Broadcast: fleetwide, text
Action: not currently, could change
When: early evening, today.

I haven't taken the time to endure the exploits many of you have been. It doesn't suit me, I think. I'm being productive in other ways, although I'm not sure I can share the fruits of my labor. But bearing something is fulfillment, right? If you have given life to your work, it feels good, even if that life is mild and quiet. Sometimes, perhaps, even moreso then. Well, not everybody wants to be in history books.

Hey, what's some soap you really like? I've gotten myself blotted with ink, which is why I'm pausing to sit back and talk. I didn't want to mark my papers. Then again, it's dry by now, so maybe I can just leave it.

One more question. Does anyone want to make a small trade?

(｀_´)ゞ [Emoticons are a language she can speak! If only because there's so much potential with them.]

So you'll just stay messy until you bathe again?

[paraclete]

!! I like that one. I haven't seen it.

Well, I washed my hands and arms already, it's just the ink is pretty potent. So I have some grey splotches.

[sylphid]

You tried. Maybe next time.

[paraclete]

Do you have a lot of those?

Next time, or the time after. It's nice. The more I think about it, the nicer it is.

[sylphid]

(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶

Having blotches on you? That sounds like a hassle.

[paraclete]

I want to hold that one in my hands. [And he doesn't quite understand it. Cuteness is pretty mysterious.]

It's more interesting than anything else. I haven't seen anything about my skin change for a pretty long time. Having something new there, and something that will fade and continue to change for a little while, is special.

[sylphid]

џ(ºДºџ)

... yep. Still weird. [Despite her opinion on him, he's sort of interesting. Funny how that works.]

[paraclete]

That one needs help.

So I've heard. But a life void of differences is a life void of opportunities to grow.

[sylphid]

ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Yeah. I get that.

[paraclete]

Mysterious. Whimsical. I enjoyed that one.

I'm glad to hear it. Growing and changing isn't always easy, I'm sure you know, but every part of it is vital.

[sylphid]

It's just a cat.

You sound like an old man giving wisdom that wasn't asked for.

[paraclete]

No wonder. Cats are pretty mysterious creatures, too.

Ideally, we ask for what we need and receive that. But, what would you ask for instead of what I'm saying?

[sylphid]

Sometimes.

Ideally, maybe a snack. Other than that, not too much.

[paraclete]

Sometimes, yeah. But a lot of things are that way, aren't they. Perhaps a cat is no more mysterious than a tortoise, but my experience only goes so far.

"Not too much" is still a little something. Do you like hard candies?

[sylphid]

I changed my mind.

You sound like a creepy old man offering candy to people you see on the street. That's not good.

[paraclete]

It isn't? It sounded good to me. I'm actually young, though.

I could recommend some good candies to you if you want to get them yourself. Or, types of candies. The amount of candies that exist can get a little overwhelming.

[sylphid]

No. Offering candy to strangers is questionable. At best.

Please stop.

[paraclete]

[!!]

I'll stop. :)

[sylphid]

Good.

I'm Fie.

[Because why not introduce yourself after accusing someone of being a creepy, candy peddling stranger?]

[paraclete]

[And of course he accepts her introduction, after she's accused him of being a creepy, candy peddling stranger. Look, he's had worse.]

Fie, I'm Kaworu. Happy to meet you.

[sylphid]

Yeah. Something like that.

[That's good. She's given worse.]
