[All things considered, Anise shouldn't be too surprised. Luceti's done weirder things in the past, at least this experiment - if that's what it is - isn't hurting anyone. What really matters is that her housemates are back from that stupid draft.]

[Still, that doesn't make it any less annoying. You'd think living on the almost-outskirts of town

Yes, it seems many of the new arrivals are being quite inconsiderate.

[galddigger]

[Woah, suddenly an Ion! That's a decidedly un-Ionlike thing to say, though.]

I know! Would it kill them to try to tone it down a little?

[fonic_douchebag]

I suppose if it did, at the very least, we would have some peace.

[Have I mentioned I'm creepy today?]

[galddigger]

[Okay, Anise has to stare at him. Wh-what, did Ion just say...?]

Y-yeah, I guess that's true... You feeling okay, Ion?

[fonic_douchebag]

I'm feeling just fine. Why do you ask?

[galddigger]

[So for some reason, that smile is sending chills down her spine.]

N-nothing. It's just... you aren't acting like... yourself. [She almost edges away, even.]

[fonic_douchebag]

Oh? And just how do you suppose I should be acting? [Oh, don't edge away! That just means he'll have to take a step closer.]

[galddigger]

[Okay, not edging away. Not even shrinking away, even if that instinct is kind of strong right now! Instead she leans forward to get a better look at him.]

I dunno... like yourself! You know, less [creepy] uh, no. Smiling more?

[fonic_douchebag]

But I am myself. [He would have included a name here, but he doesn't know it. Trolling is so difficult these days!] Why would you be so inclined to believe otherwise?

[At least he's smiling now! ...kinda.]
