awakenings the twenty-second

[i_themagician]

I don't talk to most of you, and the ones I do speak to barely get any mention here. Believe me, though - I watch you all, and I think about most of you.

... What, doesn't everyone do that?

[ooc: very, very affected - he knows it, too, but he's doing nothing to hide it. So, ask away!]

So? Stalk much?

[i_themagician]

It's not stalking if you do it to everyone, is it?

So, are you seriously a pervert, or do you just like to pretend?

[concept_killer]

Of course it is.

Me? I get embarrassed pretty easy. I'm not really a perv.

[i_themagician]

Is not. Eccentric, perhaps, but I don't think that it warrants a restraining order or anything like that.

Ha, that's sort of cute, then! I mean...! I didn't mean to use the word 'cute', I swear!

[ohrosalita]

So maybe you should do more talking.

[i_themagician]

I have little to say most of the time.

Congratulations, by the way. I hope your mother doesn't get too confused.

[ohrosalita]

'Hello' is usually a pretty good place to start.

And thanks, me too.

[i_themagician]

People look at you funny if you walk up to them and say hello out of the blue.

[so_very_greedy]

So are you in love with Yuuko? How long have you guys known each other? How long have you even been alive?

[i_themagician]

I am, yes. We've known each other for a bit over a century (not counting the time that has passed for her since I died), but we knew of one another well before that.

And I am a bit over 500 years old, give or take 50 years or so.

You're not affected by this curse, are you? I wonder what sort of secrets you'd have?

[so_very_greedy]

I am affected...or I wouldn't have said that.

I usually say whatever is on my mind, but some things I do usually hold back.

[i_themagician]

You do seem to say a lot of what's on your mind, but everyone has secrets.

I've been wondering, though... do you have a conscience?

insert curse here.

[sideralis]

...sinister.

[i_themagician]

What makes you say that? I only look at what's in plain view; no matter how poorly-coded the filter, I am seldom curious enough to look beyond it.

Speaking of poorly-coded filters, yours could use some work.

[sideralis]

I have little to hide.

[i_themagician]

You're fairly mysterious just the same.

[goodnightjulia]

...you watch us all?

[i_themagician]

To varying degrees.

... Is that not normal?

[goodnightjulia]

Maybe it depends on the degree.

But I hope it's not.

[i_themagician]

If it's any comfort, I know very little about you in particular.
