I have a question.  How do you know when someone is flirting with you?  I just do not understand flirting at all so I do not know how to recognize it.  Or how to even flirt.  It never really seemed like such an important thing.  But apparently it is?

I mean, for us sylvari we are blunt.  If we like someone we tell them.  We do not see a reason to beat around the bush, you could say.    But it seems to be a thing the other races do.

[Silence for a few moments, as if she's debating on adding anything else.]

We have some new arrivals again.  Hello!  I hope you can find a way to make this place feel like home.

"Not too wrong"
The hell is that supposed to mean.

Exactly what it says! Not too wrong, so mostly right!

( THAT MAKES NO SENSE... COLLETTE... )

Not "too" wrong
So
At least
Partially wrong
Right.

whatsupcroc: (☇ curious: what's going on over there?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! Mostly 'cause having people act like they like you means having an idea of what them liking you even looks like! Is it being friendly, is it using your proper name, a nick name, touching you, laughing at your bad jokes, ignoring when you say something dumb, or teasing you for the fact you said it at all?

Besides if you can't figure out what tells you someone likes you in general or not that is so the least helpful description ever!

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-03 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that something most people can figure out on their own
I'm sure even plant hive people have an idea of
What it is to like someone
Or whatever

You sound like you're overthinking it
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: is that all there is to it?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-03 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Taciea's saying it's a lot more blunt for her! Which probably makes a whole lot of general human interactions weird to watch.

Hey I'm a teenager I'm allowed to overthink these things!
applethief: (JUDGING U)

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-03 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't make it impossible
C'mon
Give her a little credit
Rude assumptions don't help


[ wait for it... ]

So you're just some kid?
That explains a lot
whatsupcroc: (☇ laugh: you thought that'd work!?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-03 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I am! A whole lot more than text shows.

Hahaha yes, just a kid! Now all your thoughts will be verified by my age alone.

Well it isn't like you're giving me much else to work with, here
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: you have a point)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-03 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like me too?
applethief: (pic#5355991)

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-03 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know
Am I going to regret this
whatsupcroc: (☇ laugh: ha! you could say that)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-03 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, but it'll be fun to find out!

(Also I think I used the wrong too there. Don't tell my english teacher if they ever have the weird luck to show up here.)
applethief: (pic#5355991)

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-03 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I won't if you won't
But go on, then
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: potential actions)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-03 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Okay give a few pointers what sorts of things will help give you more context? I'm fif-- no wait, sixteen, my name's Collette, I'm from a version of Earth, I've fought with body-controlling space aliens, and I'm actually not sure what's supposed to be helpful in this context.

Uh
What's space
whatsupcroc: (☇ curious: didn't quite catch that)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-05 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Space is what all the stars and the sun and the moon and even this world is hanging out in!

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-05 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Okay
I was following you up until you included this world with
All the rest of those things
Seeing as they're on separate planes
I think
You're a little mixed up
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: what you're not telling me)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-05 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I smell a mystery! Tell me about how these things work where you're from. I want to know!
applethief: (note to self: redraw when sober)

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)

I thought I was the one asking questions here
And you're the one who's supposed to clarify?
whatsupcroc: (☇ grin: the better thoughts)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-05 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Think of it as a two way exchange! You help me understand what you know, I share what I know, and we don't have so much confusion lost in the middle of it all!
applethief: (JUDGING U)

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well
I hate helping
Sharing
And most of all, exchanging
So that might be difficult
whatsupcroc: (☇ doubt: that even sounds dumb to me)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-05 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay! I believe in you.

And also your ability to endure, since I'm trying to understand planes and come up with something other than a flat surface or a machine that flies through the skies!
applethief: (pic#5369967)

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-05 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ ......... ]

A plane is
An area of existence, I guess
And

Actually
I don't think I can do this without a diagram
And your original answer wasn't very good, anyway
Your move
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: this bs explanation)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-05 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I think you'd love Z-Space. But okay so space is the... plane... past this planet!

No, no, because this planet is on that plane too. Okay, what you need is a scientist. I'm a high schooler. We may be at an impasse.

[personal profile] applethief 2013-02-05 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ SIGH man this is why he didn't want to get into it!! ]

We should probably just
Move onto something else, then
Like

"Body-controlling"?
