Whoa...the post settings from the admin accounts are really different than the normal accounts.

I'm sure you're expecting Jo or Maury or one of the others but those are all people who are way smarter and way more qualified than me, and those people are working overtime to trace down a signal we keep picking up on. Not sure what it means yet, but I'm hoping for the best. We thought we were able to isolate the problem when the other regions appeared on the current layer but it's something deeper.

But hey, isn't that what we're all trying to do here? Hope for the best.

Call me curious, but what's your favorite color? I've been teaching myself color theory lately. Bonus points if you say "why", too.

Come on, work with me here...
I'm trying, okay?

I mean, I guess I don't actually know for sure
But based on that, you sound like you kind of take things as they come
It's a compliment, I promise

I'm still a sword, Rindou. The only reason I was in the temple at all was because people thought I was too big to use.

I told this to our master. That not being usable made it the same as not existing.

But I can't say I hated quiet days either, for some reason. Maybe because I have know them for most of my life.

Can you explain the sky tearing up and various monsters coming through the cracks and invading the city logically? Or monsters popping out of video games?

Feel free to contact me then.

Have you ever done any kind of sports or martial arts before?

LOL yeah i know XD
i meant i wasnt surprised that you said a weird color like that

actually i think im more surprised that you didnt say like
a really obscure crayon color or something XD

If you don't mind, please spell it out for me so I may understand.

[ There's a long, long pause before Clover responds to the second half of the message: ]

There's nothing to be proud of. I ruined a couple trees.

thanks!! i can feel it if someone picks me up, so i probably won't lose myself
but most humans will probably be fine leaving their weapons at home

being able to fight isn't the only thing that's important
a comrade's both a friend on and off the battlefield

well
if youre like me
youll probably get a mix of good and bad things???

i mean
your past life was still a life???
and good and bad things happen to everyone
so i guess even if you remember bad things
you just gotta remember the really cute moogle and remember that theres good things too XD

[Sora, you should learn to take your own advice.]

Things change. You asked me a year ago, you'd've been lucky to get anything when I talked about her.

[but she cared a lot more about Rose now that she knew the kinds of things they were both dealing with. now that they were talking way more regularly. she'd do a lot for her, now that she had the ability.]

But I mean, yeah, we work down at the host club together now. [things did change, but this was more recent than most.] We're both hosts. You know it?

you're absolutely right... i've never thought of that before?
quick, tell me some of your favorite games

[ so he can spend the next thousand years of his life playing them, ]

Please. If you're not easy to get along with then I must be a total fuckin' misanthrope. [she presses her shoulder against Kara's briefly, just to let her know it's a joke and everything's okay.]

It's fine how it is. You're helping people. That's all you want to do, yeah? Whether it's the city or the world or just one depressed chick who definitely needs some more vitamin D in her life. [that's literal, and she's hoping blowing by it can deter the jokes.]

That sounds like the sun to me.

Fine. Sorry if it doesn't sound great, but metaphors aren't my thing. It's about freedom. It's about doing what I want to do. It's seeing things from a brand new perspective and realizing that my options aren't what I thought they were, and that I actually have other things I can do here. In this city, with my life.

It was the same thing when I first got the app. And if they take it away from me like they took the wings away, I don't know what I'll do.

[fortunately, she guesses, Anna's worked herself up too much to keep telling Clover she's proud of her. it's probably some pressure off.]

[Kara...snorts.]

If it were anyone else, I'd ask if vitamin D was euphemism.

[She can be funny too. Right?]

well, yeah, but i thought i'd ask anyway
but i do agree with that— what's the point of existing if you're not fighting, right?

[so much for that. but the surprise of hearing Kara of all people say it steals a laugh from Anna, which is unfortunate because she was definitely drinking.]

Don't you have, like, ten degrees? I didn't think you were allowed to make dick jokes.

True those colors exist but... even though my favorite color is green, I have yet to find that right shade for professional clothing.

Possibly. Ava was good to talk to though. I mean. I still do. Just not about stuff relating to the app.

Blue hair? I guess at least odd hair colours could pass off as dye? Or eyes, you could say you're wearing contacts? I dunno. I guess I hadn't had to deal with eye or hair changes.

Uh, well, it seems like the Dryads had been there for a while. The people of the village that I met apparently moved out of Recolle and into the forest many years ago. It's like they left behind modern amenities and interact with the mythical beings there.

There are moments when you remind me of Jirou.

In my memories they did, yeah. When some virus killed off most of the population. They rounded up the kids to take us underground.

Oh wow, seriously...

That's fascinating.

Fascinating how?

Unable to feel? I wouldn't want that.

[She assumes he is right though. If previous consequences of things going wrong have been 'stabilized' than it is probably a fair chance that things wouldn't happen twice? Probably.]

Of course! You'd help me if I lost something, so. I want to try help find it. The sooner the better.

[Okay, she laughs too. Mostly...]

Just three. Four if a bach degree counts. I am totally allowed to make dick jokes.
