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?

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.]
