34 ⁂ a modest proposal

[weaver_girl]

Dear everyone-

Well, not everyone, but anyway. I have an important request to make! There's something I need to investigate. If you could lend any assistance, it is for a good cause. And science, too, just so that the results are comprehensive.

I'd like to ask someone to go on a date with me, please.I'll pay for everything, of course, and it

I would hope that this is not the work of Gooseberries again.

[weaver_girl]

Oh, oh no! Completely out of my own volition this time.

[cathar_jedi]

...I see.

Perhaps you should limit your parameters to people you have already met.

[weaver_girl]

Um. I was going to put in a screening process, yes.

[cathar_jedi]

I expect that it would help.

You are experimenting?

[weaver_girl]

You could say that. There is something I need to find out. About dating, and whether I have before. So it seemed sensible to use the empirical method.

[cathar_jedi]

I suppose that thus far your results are what was expected?

/there would be a note of desperation if this wasn't text

[weaver_girl]

More or less. I have some prospects!

[cathar_jedi]

[Pause. She's not sure she understands even after reading what else is being written, but she feels a little sorry for Kage.]

Very well.

Perhaps you would not object to my company, on some afternoon?

[weaver_girl]

[Kage is starting to feel a little sorry for herself. And several others.]

I wouldn't object at all, as it happens. Thank you.

[cathar_jedi]

Then we shall. I hope it will not be too eventful.

And I hope that whatever it is you are attempting to discover, you find it.

[weaver_girl]

Only a slight level of eventful, then?

I'll keep looking. Maybe it will come to me.

[cathar_jedi]

Some degree of dullness is preferable to alternatives. Of course, it is relative.

[weaver_girl]

In the Sphere, I really do prefer the quiet moments.
