I haven't had much time to pay attention to the network recently, so I think I've missed some new arrivals. In which case, hi. I'm Sakura

[Private to Sakura ]

[internecineowl]

Thus far I'm all right. Thank you.

[A small pause]

...I'll ask Senji if he doesn't answer. He may be concerned about the possibility of video.

[He laughs a little but... he's only half joking.]

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

[A snort.]

Of course.

What's his problem, anyway?

[Synthetic Voice | Private]

[internecineowl]

I really don't know. Whenever I ask he says it's indecent.

The truth is, though Senji and I have known of one another for a long time, I can't say we've known one another until recently.

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

I've seen him yell at a girl in full battle armor. How is that indecent?

... In light of that, I probably got it pretty mild. Still.

I understand. To be honest I couldn't imagine you being friends with him, anyway.

[Synthetic Voice | Private]

[internecineowl]

Ah, we did travel in distinctly different circles.

[And now there is a small pause.]

Actually, he didn't travel in any circles, really.

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

He's a loner, you mean.

[Synthetic Voice | Private]

[internecineowl]

[Pause pause.]

You could say that. He was kept in isolation.

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

Kept in--

[Pauses herself.]

... would it be rude if I asked by whom?

[Synthetic Voice | Private]

[internecineowl]

Mmm.

There are many things we don't know about one another, here. Not only you and I, but all of us.

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

[That's answer enough.]

Right. [Slightly chastened.] Sorry.

[Synthetic Voice | Private]

[internecineowl]

[A slight pause]

I didn't mean to be harsh. But I worry, sometimes.

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

You weren't. I was prying. You don't have to worry about me asking again, I understand. I have secrets to keep too.

[Synthetic Voice | Private]

[internecineowl]

I wouldn't call them secrets. But...

[Nagi goes quiet for a moment, and if you're imagining him frowning, that would be accurate.]

My world has it quirks, as would any world I expect. But I worry that, without full knowledge of that world, we are easily misunderstood.

I didn't mind the question.

[Voice | Private | Whoops, Senji's kind of spilling the beans down there.]

[sucker_punches]

[She takes a little while in responding, and when she does, it comes out somewhat awkwardly.]

I... think anything can be misunderstood.

[Voice | Private | So not surprising. :D]

[internecineowl]

Yes, I guess that's true.

[A little pause.]

Are you all right?

[Voice | Private | What? I'm completely surprised.]

[sucker_punches]

Yes! I'm fine.

[That came out totally believable, I don't know what you're talking about.]
