Comments

[nachetanya]

I like Tsubasa a lot so far, and I think Daniel's charming as well. I think I could be friends with both of them, as much as the situation allows for that. Oh, and QQ as well.

I also enjoyed our first conversation.

[transmittable]

you didn't have to mention me either, you know.

[nachetanya]

I meant it! Because you're outside this group, I was able to speak a little more freely with you, which was pleasant.

[transmittable]

remember, we're outside the group for an unpleasant reason.

[nachetanya]

Please don't think that I'm foolish, Misty. I know that.

[ She hums a little, setting down the tablet for a moment to bring her legs in closer before picking it up again. ]

You had been a little evasive about what you want out of us, will you still not tell me, or tell me to wait and see?

[transmittable]

wait and see. it's only been a few days, assertive.

[nachetanya]

[ "Only a few days"

... Each day brings her world one day closer to the deadline. They all feel like eternities to her. ]

Waiting is difficult

[transmittable]

we know. we understand. but there's no other option.

[nachetanya]

I understand.

[ Not the why of it, but that there is nothing to be done now, unless she can work it out through conversation, investigation... or time. And time is lord over both of those. ]

I hope I don't sound too petulant.

[transmittable]

you don't. we were once very impatient too. you have good reason to be, we can tell.

[nachetanya]

[ . . . Mmm ]

I technically did ask a question so you can ask a new one, if you still want.

[transmittable]

[ A pause. ]

how are you adjusting to having one arm?

[nachetanya]

I don't know if this will sound strange, but if I only needed to fight, adjusting would be much easier.

My training's allowed me to keep my balance and I still have my sword-arm, but I keep finding odd things much harder. Like peeling carrots, or forgetting I can't clap the same. It's also harder to lift things, just because you can only pull up at one point.

[transmittable]

do you need anything else to help the adjustment period go smoother?

oh, that's two questions in a row. oops.

[nachetanya]

[ She thinks for a long moment and then: ]

A bag, or a satchel. One I can carry things in and put over my good shoulder would help a lot for moving things around.

[transmittable]

consider it done.

maybe i can get one with a unicorn design for you.

[nachetanya]

[ She... laughs at that. Okay, okay, that's - a little unexpected. It takes her a while to give a response. ]

I'll be looking forward to it!

Actually- the vending machine, you said you might put a toy in there, but is there a reason why it's there?

[transmittable]

why not?

honestly, it's something to do. it's a nice fixture. it was already here, too.

[nachetanya]

It does seem fun, that's true. We might be bored with only a kitchen, our rooms, the duct tape, and the piano eventually.

[transmittable]

[ Another pause. ]

get to know each other. that's our recommendation.

as for the bag, we would also recommend checking the vending machine frequently. it's a little more fun that way.

[nachetanya]

Does that mean that, too, isn't going to be given to me but instead put into the machine? I think you might not want to give me gifts after all!

I accept your recommendation. If you've been watching us, you'd probably seen me doing so.

[transmittable]

we have been. you're very outgoing.

come now, we gave you the painkillers. this is more in the spirit of things. isn't it exciting, to leave things up to chance?

[nachetanya]

How do I control how many chances I have though? Is there a way to stack the odds in my favor?

I thought the same, that it would be good to know everyone else, both to see if I can find allies and to see if I might make any enemies

[transmittable]

the chances are the coins. they're a nebulous thing. just play around with it.

that's a way to phrase that. are you interested in making enemies, assertive?

[nachetanya]

I wonder if that means there's a trick to them...

I'm not. But I also know that it might be inevitable that I end up with some, and I want to know how dangerous everyone else will be if they become one.
