Apparently, in some countries, in some worlds, blonds are considered dumb! [ He smiles like there's some private punchline, not like he's the butt of the joke. ] I just thought I'd share.

Anyway— [ he makes a circling gesture with his left hand ] people like to use this thing to ask questions, right? This is one you'll like. [ By "you" he means the Initiative, which he is sure is always watching. Well, maybe not always but enough that you can't count on them not. ] I want to practice my fencing.

I guess that's not a question though, is it? [ He squints. ] Okay, how's this: I'm looking for a sparring partner. No, still not a question. Hmmm. [ Tapping a finger. ] Anyone up for a match?

I can't promise I'm anything but out of practice, but… that's the whole point of practice.

And I hope everyone's recovered from that out of body experience. Like I was saying before, It's a tricky thing to fight when you don't know which is your swordhand.

That usually keeps you up.

( She pauses -- then breaks out laughing. Foot, meet mouth! )

No, no, not that kind! Why are all the older guys the horribly perverted ones? Can't you pass any of the nice perverse off to the younger generation?

( SIGH??? )

[latkje]

Sorry, Caesar's helpless.

[whatsupcroc]

Tell me about it! He can look through walls with that thing and you wanna bet he's probably only checked out a girl like once? Which okay, that's admirable, but also annoying!

[latkje]

The spyglass? [ Useful to know. ]

This isn't really my department, you know.

[whatsupcroc]

Thank goodness we're not in Kohls!

( Whoops what is keeping secrets SORRY CAESAR

SORT OF

MOSTLY

only belatedly realizing she's said anything ahahaha...ha.... )

[latkje]

You're only using that word because I don't know it.

[whatsupcroc]

It's a name! For a department store.

[latkje]

And?

[whatsupcroc]

Departments aren't so much part of the layout of this place, that's all!

[latkje]

I meant like a job. I have a job, you know.

[whatsupcroc]

( She leans forward. )

No way!

( ... just smiling. )

You mean people actually work for a living where you're from, too? It keeps sounding more normal all the time! Though what do you do, when you're regularly employed back home?

[latkje]

I'm a [ vague circular hand-gestures again ] secretary.

I work for a bishop.

[whatsupcroc]

Is that religious on your world like I think it'd be on mine? Not working for him, but the bishop being a -- ( she waves her own hand ) -- church guy.

[latkje]

A temple, yeah. [ Though the church, state, and military are synonymous in Holy Harmonia. He doesn't see a reason to explain that, though. ]

Not the impression I give, huh?

[whatsupcroc]

I dunno, I've never hung out with people who work for a temple before! Mostly I get impressions about your sense of humor and stuff.

[latkje]

I honestly don't know if that's good or bad.

[whatsupcroc]

Take the middle ground. It could be a bit of both! But I'll let you go, and talk to you again in the morning!
