[transmittable]

that's a good question, isn't it?

[nachetanya]

I thought so! I'm glad you agree.

[transmittable]

we don't know if "script" is the right word, but there are rules and you have to follow them, and there are rules that we have to follow as well.

[nachetanya]

Does that mean you didn't make the rules? ... Or well, the Risen, even.

[transmittable]

they're our rules now.

that's all we'll say on this line of questioning, assertive.

[nachetanya]

Alright. Thank you for answering my questions as best you felt able, and I hope you will in future too.

[transmittable]

as long as you ask the right questions.

[nachetanya]

[ She wonders if that's to say she didn't ask the right ones here?

... Well, she had to ask the obvious ones anyway. She exhales, and shifts on the bed ]

And thank you for hearing me our about my own concerns.

[transmittable]

no problem. we are your only outside resource, after all.

[nachetanya]

That's certainly true! How odd.

Are you planning another date with Ryoji?

[transmittable]

you're grilling me in a different way now awesome.

we had one this morning.

[nachetanya]

You could "grill" me in return, if you wanted! I decided to shift to a softer subject.

Do you find him amusing? Charming?

[transmittable]

i could. i have a few things i could, after all.

i find him very charming. he's a sweet boy. i'm talking with him in ways i haven't in a long while.

[nachetanya]

As I said, feel free.

But oh, that's excellent. To have a positive relationship like that is helpful to anyone.

[transmittable]

it confuses me that he's still interested, but for the time being it's nice.

actually, i was wondering if you and tsubasa have anything going or if it's just that really embarrassing game of gay chicken.

[nachetanya]

Could it be that he's trying to keep a "positive relationship" with you in the same way I am?

[ But that question, she should have seen that coming... she hums, shifting on her bed before she types back ]

You didn't call her by her title.

[transmittable]

[ Well, first of all. ]

no. it's not that. it's different.

[ ...There is a pause. ]

assimilated. it was a slip-up and it won't happen again.

[nachetanya]

[ At both of those, Nachetanya giggles on her end of the line. That's why there's a delay in the response. She giggles in a small fit for a moment, but then responds, ]

Tsubasa and I have been playing a game for a week now. I can tell that her heart did genuinely flutter that one night though, and I know I've gotten too excited. There was no need for me to take the game this far.

So there probably is something there.

[transmittable]

[ ... ]

if you feel something, see if she feels the same and act on it. that's my advice.

[nachetanya]

Isn't this the worst possible situation to do that in though, Misty? If I take action, I'll be forced to kill her. And even if patience can win out, the both of us won't even return to the same world.

[transmittable]

if those beat out the what-ifs and could've-beens then far be it from me to convince you otherwise. but think about it.

[nachetanya]

[ Honestly, it's a small feeling right now. She meant what she said when she said she got "too excited" - you probably can't even call it genuine feelings. But it was something, more recognizable than her flirting with Osomatsu, Danny, or Adlet for that matter.

She hums before responding, ]

Between you and Ryoji, do you see something there in yourself?

[transmittable]

it's more than i would've thought. i like it. that's all i'll say.

it's even more of a bad idea to do anything about it, but i'm a bit of a selfish person.

[nachetanya]

In that case, I hope you don't dislike me for the suggestion his motives aren't pure!

[transmittable]

nothing to take to heart. it's a natural thought to have, especially when you're open about your own reasons for talking to me.
