I personally enjoy your company, and if you were more apt to doing humanish things, would be happy to spend a normal day with you~
The least expected...are definitely the most dangerous. I must admit the thought that one of these people could engage me in conversation one minute then stab me with a smile on their face the next does put me on edge.
You would, you seem to enjoy those who you can either tease to no end or maintain a lasting conversation with. That said, I do admit that I am rather limited on what would class as a normal activity.
I cannot say that I find such a thing to be so unnerving, I have faith in my abilities. I additionally doubt that any person here could do worse than I experienced back home.
Well, I would like you to know you are the latter of the two, Kaworu. Perhaps we can simply walk together, or shop at the mall. Very mundane, but normal.
Well, I can only agree with you on the assumption you have a fair estimate of everyone's abilities here. Myself...I just can't say. Though I wonder if I should stop and consider whether Miku's loss was "better" for lack of better words, than some one else to put everyone on their guard.

You would find it very difficult if I had ended up as the former. It sounds incredibly mundane however, 'when in Rome'.
I suppose you could say that I have a basic idea of how other residents may fair in comparison to my own abilities. There is also the matter of taking recent observations into consideration, those who genuinely seem incapable of handling death. In general, one could say that the death of anyone would have proven useful to the remaining residents. If you rely solely on the fact that the deceased this time around was 'helpless', if anything it makes the threat less imposing.
Honestly, Kaworu. You sound like you can't stand me at all sometimes.
I must agree with all of this, however at the same time it makes one wonder of the mind of someone who could kill a being here who really couldn't fight back. I'm rather glad we don't have any children persay. I would greatly worry about their safety.
I assure you, Arro, that is not the case. You could say that i'm rather, hesitant to take engage in such a normal string of activities though.
She was technically an android with an intelligence of her own, was she not? A technological advancement, people have killed for less. Or perhaps the point was to find the weakest person, an easy test run while gauging the reactions of other residents. People are upset, they may seek revenge, and they'll make mistakes if they do not choose to move on.
Well, I wouldn't have wanted you to maintain such a concern. It could go rather well, or we could both be entirely bored out of our minds, something which will have to be experienced for an answer.
They are either entirely logical conclusions that two rational minds have reached or we could indeed both be rather eccentric by this point. If such things were told to the general public though, I doubt it would matter how such conclusions were reached, it would be 'insensitive' either way. Reducing their friend to such a blunt description.
I cannot see that going down terribly well with everyone so tense. Nor can I truthfully say that I would welcome an enforcement of sorts, it is terribly easy for people to get carried away and restrict another's free will. An act of killing like the recent attack is easy to cleanly say that there is a 'guilty' party, what if the person had been capable of fighting back though? Killing can sometimes be a matter of self-defence.
Personally, I think it would be utterly impossible to be bored out of our minds. You're too interesting, and far too worth getting to know~
Ah, good~ I do enjoy how we are often on the same page in serious situations. As for the public? I doubt they'll like our observations much, if at all. Best to hope they're not very nosy.
These are all concerns I've brought up, again we are on the same track. I see it as doomed to fail miserably, but I am obligated to go along with it. As for self-defence...Well, on the one side, that is why it must be perfectly clear what everyone can do, on the other hand, not knowing what everyone can do raises a certain level of hesitation, does it not?
Somehow I can imagine such a thing still involving a certain level of straying from the typical standard of 'normal'. I suppose that it could be a worthwhile distraction however, potentially it could end up catching the minds of others nearby as well.
I believe the phrase is great minds think alike. In seriousness perhaps we are two minds which have been around long enough to understand points of view which would otherwise be disregarded. I’m certain that our opinions would be ill received beyond a simple level of ‘dislike’, if they do not question into such a matter then it is perhaps best to stay silent.
I cannot personally say that I can see such a thing working terribly well, if at all, either. People here seem to be so different, too different perhaps to share common sets of regulations and punishments, while the majority seem to share the common flaw of letting their emotions cloud their judgement. I can certainly say that I would find it difficult to obey a system which could be biased against me due to an opinion
( ... )
Always such a people person~ Though I can only agree. More people getting out more is to be encouraged.
You flatter me a bit much to be put anywhere near you, but I suppose I have been around for some time, and I do try to stay silent unless it's with someone I know won't judge me too harshly~
There is one person I know of that could manage to be unbiased enough to do it, but he'd never take all the responsibility. He has self-esteem issues.
The better question is what will we do when more arrive? I've met some people who's worlds I would rather not see more of.
I wouldn't say that I was such a person but, I can see how it may come across as such. The fresh air would be good for some people, i'm sure, a little exercise and a chance to clear minds.
You're making me feel terribly old despite being younger by appearance. Clearly no one likes to have their ideas and opinions brought down before they have a chance to explain in detail, regardless of whether they are part of the Lilin or not.
I don't suppose it would be worth persuading him into attempting such a thing, would it? It could help him gain some confidence while presenting a fair opinion.
Begin from the starting point again, I suppose. That is certainly something else to consider, it is one thing to organise us as we are now but when others arrive in the future those plans could be disrupted.
And, I agree. One can never know the devils that lurk in the shadows~

Sometimes they may not even be within the shadows but out in plain sight. The least expected.

Ah, point. Several actually. I've come to the same conclusions, and it is nice to know they're not merely the products of an eccentric mind.
I was told we're having a meeting trying to be organized for everyone to meet and discuss what to do, perhaps even form a Law Enforcement system.
