My, my, my...

Was I the only one who heard that howling? Surely I couldn't have been.

It sounded almost like some sort of canine, didn't it? Or perhaps, something more - lupine?

[There's a pause. Any distress that was in her voice becomes one of those small smiles.]

Could someone tell me what's been going on outside?

((And the howling she's

Outside, ma'am? It seems a carnival has set itself up, and in an interesting case of very bad timing, the temperature in the apartment seems to have risen noticeably, making many residents venture outside. And around the carnival.

[ Audio; ]

[kriegsfurien]

How fascinating. It has been getting quite hot, hasn't it? Have you been to this carnival?

[ Audio; ]

[crossgraved]

[ There's a short moment of silence and then he clears his throat, sounding cheerful enough after that however. ]

Yes, ma'am. That's right. It... sort of reminds me of my childhood so I am finding I have mixed feelings about it as an event here.

Have you remained inside all this time? Even with the heat?

[ Audio; ] ( *reaches for* )

[kriegsfurien]

Your childhood? And why is that?

Oh, mainly. I feel far more comfortable in here.

[ Audio; ] *curls up on lap!* Someone should tell Allen the real reply should be NOT SURE IF WANT!)

[crossgraved]

Ah.

[ He goes quiet for a moment, and there's a little noise like skin smacking lightly against skin. Hand, meet head, pleased to meet you. ]

... my father and I used to work at a circus as clowns.

You're... more comfortable in this kind of humidity? Why is that?

[ Audio; ] *clutches!* Someone should tell Allen to RUN LIKE HELL. Not that he'd listen 8|

[kriegsfurien]

[She breaks into another laugh.]

How charming!

No, no, you misunderstand. I simply feel more comfortable indoors, you see, rather than out. This humidity is very unpleasant.

[ Audio; ] Of course not >:| He clearly didn't learn not to trust and worry about strangers...

[crossgraved]

[ There's a sense of relief and his voice sound a little more relaxed naive fool!]

It's hardly my place to pass comment on someone's preference of location, but doesn't the idea of being stuck inside with the ghosts unsettle you, ma'am?

[ Audio; ] I blame the parents.

[kriegsfurien]

[Not offended at all!]

Adaptability is very important.

[ Audio; ] ... Oh, you just HAD to go prodding at one of the tender areas :( Bad, mommy!

[crossgraved]

That's an extremely practical way of looking at it.

Has that opinion come from experience?

[ Audio; ] *beams*

[kriegsfurien]

Common sense, dear.

[ Audio; ] <3

[crossgraved]

[ Oh noes! He seems mildly flustered by that. ]

I-I suppose that's quite true. Survival of the fittest and supposedly the first law of nature.

[ Audio; ] where have you been are you guys okay? ;-;

[kriegsfurien]

That's exactly how it is.

[ Audio; ] Mrr. Life has happed, but it will be okay /ever the optimist!

[crossgraved]

... it seems an unfair way to view the world.

[ Audio; ] ilugaiz and am here if you need to talk /o/

[kriegsfurien]

Why is that?

[ Audio; ] You are such a sweet thing <3 When this has all calmed down we may be able to share orz

[crossgraved]

Ah.

[ There's the sound of him shifting a little, clearly somewhat uncomfortable, however--]

Because I don't believe that survival of the fittest is the only way to live, or the right way either.

If I have an ability that others don't I would rather use it to protect them than use it prove I'm stronger. Life is important. I want to preserve it anyway I can.

That theory on life doesn't satisfy me in the slightest.

[1/2][ Audio; ] Okay. Just all of you take care /frets

[There's a strange sort of duality in Einstellsehn's voice here, like it's coming from two different mouths in synch. On one hand, she sounds genuinely intrigued, thoughtful. On the other, it's more like the feigned interest an adult may use talking to a babbling child.

All in two words.]

I see.

[And don't they say so much more than it would seem? Or they would, if Allen knew Einstellsehn.]
