002. TEXT.

[ex_texting536]

Does anyone know what Monday is? (。ヘ°)

For me, it is the day that the Apocalypse drifted by. A great tragedy struck and the world shook with it, but the chaos drifted away ... peace was hard-fought but found once more.

I wonder, is this not a better message given our surroundings... the Christmas that will come allows closeness that is felt through a holiday, but surviving tragedy ... that shows the shade of the true soul. I daresay their Void... (￣ω￣;)

But I suppose that being so close to the anniversary has made me nostalgic.

Forgive me. (#／。＼#)

You will find that there is little that is 'cold' to me. This Christmas is spent with those who have family?

Heh, separated, huh? Your decision was willing?

[text]

[ex_texting536]

'Family' is a loaded term. It is supposed to be spent with those that you have welcomed into your "bubble." Out of obligation or feelings of affection. Out of desires for acceptance or loneliness. There are many images of 'family' and what it means, too. Before you ask, if you have not guessed, mine is the meaning of 'nothing.'

What does it matter? It is what it is.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

I'm more than aware of the different images of family.

Perhaps, but call it curiosity on my end.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

Then, I won't go further into it.

Then accept the answer that it is what it is.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

Heh, for someone who likes to talk, you do not say much.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

I've said all there is to say on the subject.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

So it appears.

[Elza glances at the screen at the odd arrange of 'words' on the screen. While she could read and understand what had been written previously, this new 'word' left her confused.]

That is meant to hold meaning to me?

[text]

[ex_texting536]

I don't know. Does it?

[text]

[marked_for_death]

No.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

It is just a shrug personified in symbols.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

Oh? How are those symbols representing such an action?

[text]

[ex_texting536]

Because it looks like it.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

[The response takes a little longer than usual. It's almost as if she's attempting to figure out how so.]

It seems more like a waste of time.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

Ah, well.

That is your interpretation.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

Do people compensate for meeting others in your world by using such actions? Or is it simply because you've removed yourself from such ties.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

I just like them.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

I see.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

Whimsy in my life is something that I strive for... at least, from time to time.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

It brings you joy?

[text]

[ex_texting536]

Of course.

I would not do it if it did not bring me joy.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

Then I see no fault in such acts.

[text]

[ex_texting536]

I was not explaining to have your approval, but to have your understanding.

[text]

[marked_for_death]

And yet it was given either way.

Are you against the opinions of others?
