Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, sometimes, I think...?

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

I just wasn't sure since it seems like you've been with a lot of men like that but also, er. Not because you wanted to be?

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

I...haven't, ah, really thought about how I feel about that.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

There's people who have a vested interest in what makes you most happy, so if you ever figure it out, I'd like to know, I suppose.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

[that's people who have way more vested interest in what makes him happy than he himself does, honestly.] ...if I, ah, do, I will let you know.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

[ listen friendo that's why she said "there's people" rather than "there's other people" because she knows the bar is on the fucking ground ]

Please.

I can get my tea set, unless you want to use yours?

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

[the bar is probably in the ground, honestly.]

I can, ah, use yours...

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

I'll just go up to avante to get it and a book, then—you can come along, if you like.

[ regardless, beep boop summoning the elevator. ]

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

[...cannot do the elevator.] I will, ah, wait here, then...

I'm, ah, sorry.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

...?

[ she has a Concern.

.......duly noted that persephone cannot do an elevator, and... ]

...oh wait hang on. I always forget I can do this.

[ a ghostly double peels off from her, and gets into the elevator in her stead. better living through unit powers. ]

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

[better living through unit powers.]

...I only, ah, get into elevators when there is no choice. [he means the Game Tower.] I am, ah, sorry...

[claustrophobia sucks.]

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

...no, you really needn't be.

It's really no inconvenience at all, so—this way, I can accompany you, too. She'll be back in a few minutes with everything I need.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

...thank you.

I, ah, knew about that power of your unit, but this is...probably the first time I have seen it, used.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

I didn’t pick it up for a long time since it seemed sort of disconcerting, but it’s useful, as it turns out. Less for fighting, more for circumstances like this.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

I can, ah, imagine how it would be useful for fighting, but not particularly with your fighting style.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

Ah... mm, it doesn't integrate terribly well with how I fight, it's true.

...I think most of avante uses it for doing chores, honestly.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

[what he doesn't say is that it would work well with his style. but then, his memory had already been proof of that.]

A, ah, practical way of doing things...

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

[ let us imagine for a moment the wild-ass shit that would have been the AU where Persephone is on avante and Shrike is on sensitIV, ]

That, or most of the unit doesn't have the patience for chores, otherwise...

...what book are you bringing?

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

[that would have been a completely weird AU.]

And they, ah, still need to be done.

[pulls a book out of his frilly white bag] I, ah, have a book on fairy tales...

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

Oh... do I remember seeing you with that one before, or is that my imagination?

[ the elevator dings, and her double steps out, with a few slim volumes and a boxed tea set. ]

Here, let's go, then; we can walk and talk at the same time.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

It is, ah, the same one I had before, yes. [and will follow after her]

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

[ she is still mildly wigged out enough by having a double that she just opts to carry all the stuff herself and vanish the feint. ]

Is there something about that volume that holds particular interest? I didn't realize it was such a favorite.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

There are, ah, a lot of stories I like in it.

...and it, ah, was one of the first books I bought, here.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[softlyfalling]

Mm... I suppose something that means something to you for the first time has some magic to it.

Re: @forgottenmercy

[forgottenmercy]

...I think it was, ah, the first book I ever could buy for myself. Especially with, ah, how...expensive...books were back home.
