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.

Well it isn't like you're giving me much else to work with, here

[whatsupcroc]

Would you like me too?

[applethief]

I don't know
Am I going to regret this

[whatsupcroc]

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]

I won't if you won't
But go on, then

[whatsupcroc]

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.

[applethief]

Uh
What's space

[whatsupcroc]

Space is what all the stars and the sun and the moon and even this world is hanging out in!

[applethief]

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]

I smell a mystery! Tell me about how these things work where you're from. I want to know!

[applethief]

I thought I was the one asking questions here
And you're the one who's supposed to clarify?

[whatsupcroc]

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]

Well
I hate helping
Sharing
And most of all, exchanging
So that might be difficult

[whatsupcroc]

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]

[ ......... ]

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]

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.

[applethief]

[ 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"?

[whatsupcroc]

Body-controlling! Slugs that insert themselves into your ear and fold in around your brain like the worst, least comfortable blanket ever, and then see your every memory, feel your ever emotion, witness your every thought, and then keep you prisoner inside yourself while nobody around you notices. The Yeerks don't have eyes or tastebuds or ears really the way we do. They're blind, partly deaf, and entirely helpless in their natural state.

[applethief]

[ omfg what. REALLY LONG PAUSE ....... ]

Okay
What the fuck is wrong with your world
Serious question
Because
I have heard a lot of crazy shit
Especially after coming here
But

Well
I didn't know it was possible for me to feel physically ill anymore
Yet here we are

[whatsupcroc]

I hear aspirin helps with that! Haha, but really, it is pretty messed up! It's why we're fighting against it.

But anyway, how's that for context?
