[ ...he gave her a real attempt at effort here and that's something we can all appreciate so much. ]

Mmmmmmmm, I guess I can sort of see where you're coming from then [ mostly because she too feels that way about a good majority of the people here—she doesn't necessarily think of them the way she does her toys, but it's not like she cares about them as people ] but on the other hand... People aren't things? Once they're gone, they're gone, and you can think about them as fondly as you want but that's not gonna make 'em come back so you can talk to them more...

Unless you're the type of person who doesn't really miss people or pets or anything like that either, I guess! Then that'll be totally lost on you until you experience it yourself. [ ...if he does. ]

But anyway, like I was saying before it got super dreary there! It's still totally love and affection and fondness, even if it's in different ways!

[andexecutioner]

[He's actually quiet for a moment at that one, his gaze focused low before he seems to shake off whatever just went through his head.]

I don't really miss people, no. I think about them sometimes, if they're important enough, but missing them is another thing.

[Anyway.]

I...guess I see what you're getting at? I don't agree with it, but I get it.

[innocentloveholic]

Then we can agree to disagree, and I can totally hope you'll miss me when I'm gone! [ ...BECAUSE SHE IS CERTAINLY A FORCE OF NATURE THAT EVERYONE WILL MISS, CLEARLY.

anyway. ] And you can totally ask me two questions, since I ended up doing that to you.

[ She's such a fair lady. ]

[andexecutioner]

[He shrugs a bit, but it's more casual than dismissive.]

I don't mind if you want to ask me things; I've never really been one to get to know people through just interviewing them like that.

[innocentloveholic]

Yeah, but we had an agreement going on—a question for a question! So it's just fair, you know?

[andexecutioner]

That's true...

[Hm.]

What sort of hobbies did you have back where you came from? Other than mad science, presumably.

[innocentloveholic]

[ mad science is the most important one— ]

Photography, photoshopping, petty vandalism, dinner parties... wait, can that be a hobby? [ ... ] I'm gonna say with how often I attended them it is. Hmmm, let see, what else... people watching, tricking vending machines into giving me more drinks—Evaluating wanted me to try it with the vending machine here to see if I could trick it with one of those coins I got—and watching really entertaining stuff! Drawing, shopping, making plans, and reading medical journals...

[ ...SHE'S VERY VARIED, OUTSIDE OF THE MAD SCIENCE. though the medical journals presumably go with that. ]

A ton of stuff! I had a bunch of free time to do whatever I wanted back home, sorta like here, except without the threat of being killed. [ despite the fact the city is a deathtrap, her and her gang of friends are not in any danger of dying. it's nice. ]

[andexecutioner]

...You are really, really into parties.

[jesus christ, aligula

anyway.]

I guess if you've been around for so long it'd make sense to have a huge spread of hobbies like that, though.

[innocentloveholic]

Mmmhmm! The parties thing is only because my friends throw them all the time. Just between you and me, I'm totally more used to attending them than hosting them... but it's been sort of fun to do that, too. And I'm totally better at it than Femt is—all he does is food! They're not as fun or creative or awesome as me and Ferid's!

[ femt sucks 2k16 ]

But we watch, like... the city at them? He has a bunch of televisions for it. There's always something happening in Hellsalem's Lot, so it's not like it's boring, but it's just every day chaos. Someone blew up an entire street corner trying to rob a bank, whoopee. A train crashed and killed all of its passengers, plus a couple dozen others, whoooo. Femt cut a god in half and put one portal in a bank robber and put the other on a cute monkey and forced people to play his game of "destroy the other thingy before the two halves meet up and level the entire city" that totally got busted by this kid who hates killing, yippee.

[andexecutioner]

[..............................]

What.

[WHAT IS EVEN THE CONTEXT FOR THAT LAST ONE.]

[innocentloveholic]

[ I MEAN SADLY, THAT IS ALL THE CONTEXT THERE IS FOR THAT LAST ONE?? ]

Femt's more of a mad scientist than I am! Like, he's all properly into it, making up new monsters over breakfast and setting them out on the city whenever he feels like they need a little chaos to shake things up out of their... normal chaos. [ She's the surgical and gizmos side of it, he's the... sciencey side of it. ] He's got some really cute pets too, like a dog with its skeleton on the outside of its body and a bunch of squishy blue stuff in the middle... Like one of those stress toys? It's super friendly.

[ i guess today is the "you thought aligula was a nightmare? her best friends are worse" reveal ]

[andexecutioner]

...You keep some really bizarre company.

[He...sort of knew that, because he knows a good amount about all of you, but at the same time good lord.]

You also must be bored out of your mind here, if that's the sort of thing you're used to.

[innocentloveholic]

I find ways to amuse myself. Parties are part of that, and hanging out with Ferid's always a treat! And then there's you, of course.

[ of course. ]
