☆006-Between the half and the half nots.

[live_ringer]

Y'know, I've got nothing against the auction itself. Hell, it's a fun little idea. A good time had by all, etc, etc.

There's just one little thing.

Two-for-one deal? Really?

I'd ask if this was a joke, but if it is, it looks like one that it's too late to take back.

[...Something about this comment makes him feel weird, but he brushes it off.]

It's all simply for amusement and a sort of charity, I believe- I'm sure people are understanding about such things.

Still it was... bizarre to see the faces to the name-- and that you are, indeed, twins.

[live_ringer]

Yeah, the charity bit's kind of a sticking point, and a big reason I'm not just walking away from it.

'Bizarre', huh? Interesting word for it. Now why would you say that?

[monoideist]

That's very kind of you.

[pen tap pen tap] I'm amazed at how many people from my dream are here. It seems that most of them are. Knowing that you are, indeed, twins and it isn't a sort of symbolism also clarifies another aspect of my dream.

[live_ringer]

Not sure I'd say that.

So you're saying that we both made it to your dream? Huh, I guess that saves me the trouble of figuring out how to bring up the fact that, yeah, you're definitely familiar.

[monoideist]

My apologies, then.

I believe so. There were quite a few people in it- and very few that I haven't seen here. [A pause. It's worth a shot, right?] Do you know of any young women with long, white hair?

[live_ringer]

...Heh, you just said something nice about me, misinformed though it might be. Why would you apologize for that?

There do seem to be more people from 'where we were' than a lot of people have. This place is a bit weird about that.

White-haired lady, hm? The only one I know of is Seren. If you want a reference, she's up for auction, too.

[monoideist]

I wasn't sure if it was welcome or not, given your comment.

Perhaps the others are here as well, then.

Seren. [Pause a she goes to flip through the pages to find the auction page.][pentap pentap.] Her eyes are different, though.

[live_ringer]

Let's put it this way: if I was put out, you'd know it.

It's possible. Or if they aren't here they could pass through.

Sorry to disappoint. The only other person I know has white hair, I have no idea if it's long or not.

[monoideist]

Alright, I'll remember that.

I suppose I'll keep an eye out for them. I could like a chance to speak with them all, to be honest, if only to discover what they're truly like.

It's as good a clue as any. Thank you, Gene.

[live_ringer]

Mm. Which reminds me, I've been meaning to set up some kind of... chat with you lot. There seem to be certain things that resonate with people where we're from.

Not a problem. The other white-haired person goes by Handmaiden. Who knows, maybe it'll help.

[monoideist]

That should be alright. Lithium and myself have mostly settled in Section Three. I'm sure it would be fine for you to come over.

Thank you. I'll look into them. I can't shake the feeling that [Pause to think of the right word.] she's very important.

[live_ringer]

All right, then. I'm still doing some catching up from when I was an ankle-biter, but I should be free to discuss things by Saturday.

Ah, one of those sorts. Well, good luck figuring it out.

[monoideist]

Alright. I'll let Lithium know. Would you like for me to invite Cheers as well, or should it just be the three of us for the time being?

[live_ringer]

I'm not really sure of her schedule, so whatever's convenient, really.

Whee!

[monoideist]

I believe she works most evenings, so perhaps it's not feasible. Still, you would be welcome to come over.

[live_ringer]

Yeah, I knew she worked from 6 pm on, but didn't know what she got up to before.

Alright, I'll see you there. Care to give a guy some directions?
