[ Hakkai is having a pleasant stroll in some place rather green and resplendent. He's retraced his steps to Himorogi and now stands beneath the great willow, gently touching one of its fronds between two fingers. After a moment, he seems to remember himself and step away, focusing on the Hitomi. He's in a good mood (not that he often seems to be

Ahaha, actually, I have a confession to make

[monocled]

That's wonderful!

Please allow me to thank you personally. Where do you live again?

[necro_fantasia]

Aha, well I know this may seem strange to a primitive bunch like you, but my people are so technologically advanced that we have actually developed the ability to live on the surface of the sun! You can visit me there at any time, if you like. We can have tea~

[monocled]

And how do you manage to keep the tea a drinkable temperature in such a climate?

[necro_fantasia]

Obviously we use an Anthraxian Temperatorial Regulatory Device. It prevents the quark flavors from putting an opposing spin on their antiparticle property, thus keeping tea at whatever temperature you desire.

[monocled]

Ah, when you put it that way...

No such thing exists, does it.

[necro_fantasia]

Ah, don't be ridiculous. Dimension travelers are forbidden by intergalactic law to lie about their technology. Ever since that incident at Alpha Centauri with the Saturnians and the Romulans with the obsolete warp drive we've been very careful about that sort of thing.

Anyway, why would you doubt me after I was so forthcoming about the experiment?

[monocled]

It's because you were so forthcoming. You've hardly had enough time nor enough subjects to get good data from the experiment, so why would you contaminate the subjects so readily?

[necro_fantasia]

Drat

[monocled]

I wouldn't dream of telling anyone.

But you did, however, leave this post public for everyone to see.

[necro_fantasia]

Oh, that's okay. I, uh, used the phone's memory wipe app and keyed it to your genetic code which is read through the... Romulan Genetic Merker... Reader Thing...

[Frowns.]

I can't think of anything else.

[Sighs.]

Okay, I'll give you that round. You're awfully good at this. Do you practice a lot?

[monocled]

I'm a teacher. I'm used to children.

[necro_fantasia]

Ah, are you saying I look young? You're too kind, really.

[Yukari smiles, looking for all intents entirely innocent - which can't be good.] How old are you anyway?

[monocled]

[ He smiles right back. ]

22.

[necro_fantasia]

Oh, well, you don't look a day over 27.

I think the problem may be the monocle. How badly do you need it?

[monocled]

Badly enough.
