Some of it is Sciel's fault. She seems right at home here.

Really? You don't get the lovely experience of sharing your space with strangers?

[fromfire]

Poor Sciel. Blamed for clothing crimes. She seems like she's getting along okay to you?

Well, I don't have a partner, but I do have "siblings." I'm the oldest of three. But we're living independently and don't try to press the subject of being "related."

[maellum]

Yeah. She can even park the car without taking anyone out.

I see. [Well that stirs up some ugly feelings. Jealousy? Let's not examine that.] What's the most interesting thing you've found so far?

1/3

[fromfire]

Proud of her.

The hair products are the most interesting.

[fromfire]

I'm kidding.

[fromfire]

I'd say a lot of the technology is. Like televisions.

[maellum]

ARE you kidding? You could use some hair products.

We should watch a movie sometime.

[fromfire]

Well, then, I'll be sure to take many, many back to Etraya with me.

We should. Do you have one that interests you?

[maellum]

Not particularly. Do you want to choose one for us? I won't say anything if you choose one that ends up dull.

[fromfire]

Sure, I don't see why not.

I feel like you're lying to me, but I will accept these conditions.

[maellum]

Why? Is it because I gave you constructive criticism for your poetry?

I wouldn't lie to you, Verso.

[fromfire]

Indeed, my poetic heart will never recover.

Just what a liar would say.

But no, I believe you.

[maellum]

But it will improve, won't it? Thanks to me.

We'll need snacks.

[fromfire]

Thanks to you, it will.

Well, naturally.

[maellum]

You're welcome.

I can be in charge of snacks while you decide what movie.

[Spoilers: it's all sugar.]

[fromfire]

All right, then.

And when should we do it?

[maellum]

Did they give you a job, here? I have nothing to do. So you can tell me when you're available.

[fromfire]

Piano player in a bar. That my "brother" owns. So, I feel like I can make my own hours.

Which means we should do it right away before we're force to really buckle down for this mission of ours.

[maellum]

How about right now? Since you have enough time to be messaging me and all.

[fromfire]

All right. Sounds good to me.

[maellum]

It just means you have to pick what we're watching right now, too.

[fromfire]

Which means we're going by title and looks alone.

[maellum]

... I bet you would have done that anyway, even with more time.

[fromfire]

Well, now we'll never know.

[maellum]

I know.
