I must say, this really is quite a funny place. Wizards and fools and all the like from children's fairy tales that I'm sure we all so dearly loved once upon a time. Then again! I'm sure there are many of us who still enjoy them. Aside from that, we have people coming into our lives and suddenly existing inside of them for a week or so. Talk about a bumpy ride, don't you think? And a glimpse of our own worlds with a friend or two... have I missed anything...? Well, as far as the Malnosso go, and their direct influence over us... Likely not.

As for how we interact, hmm... It seems popular to ask questions of everyone around here; who's where, what do you feel about this or that, where are you from.... That is one way to meet people. I should ((...)) probably work on that. Two months here and it looks like the Malnosso are fond enough of me to keep me around. I'm sure they find those of us here vastly entertaining in all our mundane routines.

If only sarcasm bled as well as the ink that wrote it, and if only I had a satisfactory and interesting question to provide to all of you.

A pity, really . . .

Do you still enjoy fairytales?

Re: [Written]

[abstruse]

Not nearly as much as I did or should; I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

[Written]

[areyoumyfriend]

Maybe you just grew out of them.

Re: [Written]

[abstruse]

That would make sense. Can't say I know anyone who's as old as I am and still reading them. --Or, I guess, that would exclude those few with children.

I'm sure in that sort of company, children's stories are more interesting.

[areyoumyfriend]

I wouldn't know. I don't know any children.

Re: [Written]

[abstruse]

Any particular reason?

[Written]

[areyoumyfriend]

I was a soldier. I didn't get to meet any children. You don't exactly find many playing in war zones.

When you interact, you should start with introducing yourself.

Re: [ written ]

[abstruse]

All right.

I'm Clive Dove; and you are?

[etudes]

My name is Kotomi Ichinose. I'm a senior from class A back home and my hobby is reading. When refering to me, please call me 'Kotomi-chan'.

Re: [ written ]

[abstruse]

Why Kotomi-chan, if I might ask?

[ written ]

[etudes]

It's so I can recognize bullies. A bully would never call me 'Kotomi-chan', so if all my friends will call me that, then I can know if someone is a friend or not.

[ this seems.. really logical to her.. ]

Re: [ written ]

[abstruse]

((Implying Clive was no bully, first of all. Though, in a sense, he's honoured... So a smile as he writes.))

Ah-ha! I see your meaning. Bullies really are awful in that sense; endearments have never really been their thing. Kotomi-chan it is, then!

I hope you haven't been getting any trouble with bullies around here, though.

I forgot you were so wordy.

[He is being kind of rude. But it's been a hard week.]

...People here don't mind puzzles.

Re: [voice]

[abstruse]

((A sigh and a laugh.)) Not the ones I've spoken one; clearly your hoarding the ones that do if that's the case.

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

Well, you've got to ask nicely.

Re: [voice]

[abstruse]

To have a few fellow puzzlers?

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

To get them to answer, sometimes.

But there are a lot of people here who will try a puzzle if you give them one, you know.

Re: [voice]

[abstruse]

I'll have to think of a good puzzle, then. I'm sure I have something in my bag of tricks.

Next time, try something like, "What color is your favorite pair of socks?" or something like that. That's a perfectly interesting question, don't you think?

Re: [written]

[abstruse]

Well... Let's just see about that:


What colour is your favourite pair of sock?

[written]

[mydearapple]

I'd have to say I don't have a favorite pair of socks. That's a pretty weird thing to label a "favorite."

Re: [written]

[abstruse]

Honestly, I couldn't agree more, but then again, it's easy to have a least favourite pair, no? Or at least two collections, those you like, and those you dislike.

((This subject. It's so stupid. He loves it.))

[This guy seems to have a sense of humor, and Caesar is always okay with that, so he is happy to continue this strange line of conversation.]

I suppose you have a point. If you think of which ones you like the least, it's much easier to choose then.

Re: [written]

[abstruse]

It is, unfortunately, a popular way to select things. Knowing which of two you dislike more; rather than knowing which of two you enjoy more. It's almost easier.
