22 - Back to the world

[moonlit_mirage]

I apologize if I have worried anyone with my absence. I have not been feeling well. However I am quite recovered.

I seem to have missed a few things--new arrivals and certain developments, perhaps?

To those I have failed to greet properly, welcome.

I am quite delighted to see your penmanship once more amongst us, Crow. I'm glad your malaise has lessened somewhat since we last talked.

[moonlit_mirage]

What would lessen it even more would be an afternoon with you, Prestidigitation, and a good cup of hot tea, Argent-san, if that thought appeals at all.

And not to appear to be bribing you, but I have, in fact, found eclairs.

[twoninths]

Not that you ever need to bribe me with anything but the promise of your company, Crow. That sounds lovely.

Hopefully, if you are not too much in demand from the others who have been alarmed by your absence, this can be arranged. Even if you are, I might have to wrestle you away from them if things become dire.

[moonlit_mirage]

Ah, but I feel I must have something to offer in return for the pleasure of yours.

I believe I will always be able to make time for you, Argent-san, even at the expense of neglecting others. I would, of course, have to count you my savior if that situation arose.

NOT AS ANTAGONISTIC AS IT SOUNDS?

[child_proteus]

Hey Crow.

Decided to join us again here in the land of the living, huh?

O RLY? COULD HAVE FOOLED ME!

[moonlit_mirage]

Hello Throne-san.

You have such a way with words

Yes. I missed everyone's cheerful faces.

((OOC: Strikes scribbled out as soon as he finishes writing them.))

HE'S NOT SO GREAT WITH THE "HEY I'M NOT BITTER THAT YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND" TONE OF VOICE YET.

[child_proteus]

That came out wrong, I'm sorry.

And the world has missed yours. Well, Argent has, that's for certain, and that's as close enough to the world at large as a single person is going to get, so.

I'm glad that you're feeling better. I hope it stays that way.

[ ooc :: he leaves his strike-outs legible. ]

IT'S KIND OF A HARD TONE TO GET DOWN, GRANTED.

[moonlit_mirage]

I don't believe you are the one that should be apologizing.

I cannot disagree with your assessment of Argent-san. I shall just have to attempt to make up for causing such distress as I have.

Thank you Throne-san. I do as well. Very much so.

((OOC: Crow leaves these strikes readable.))

ooc: She wrote that and scratched it our heavily about three seconds later. >>;

[1artificialgirl]

I am happy to hear that you are feeling better.

…You’ve changed.

COMPLETELY OOC.

[nobodysheroine]

does vanilla need another employee at the bookstore? part time? Ran is new to the verse and I would really love it if she could snag a job there, but I know it's a small operation.

Looked for you online, feel free to IM me sometime @ SkittishKai.

WOW LOOK AT THE ALL OOC

[1artificialgirl]

Hahah sure. 8) She could open up shop during part of the weekend now o//

Cool I shall 8)

I'm xblindxwarriorx

Poor Vanilla! *hugs her*

[moonlit_mirage]

Thank you Vanilla-san. I am sorry to have worried you.

[felinemystique]

We never did get together for lunch, Crow. If you're not busy, this is as good as chance as any to catch up.

Crow is doomed ain't he?

[moonlit_mirage]

For that I apologize, Bastet-san. I can be available at your convenience.

she'll be good. XD she just wants to see him for herself instead of relying on secondhand info.

[felinemystique]

Time got away from both of us, that's all.

How does tomorrow evening sound?

Awww. <3

[moonlit_mirage]

It has a tendency to do that, I think.

Tomorrow evening it is, Bastet-san.

[nobodysheroine]

Wow, do all of you just know one another?

I'm counted among the newlings, so I haven't really made nice with the locals yet. But, given some of the company you seem to keep, I figured it was worth a wave hello.

He flipped back through the journal to find her hand-writing.

[moonlit_mirage]

Hello there. I apologize I was unable to greet you when you arrived.

I do seem to be blessed in my acquaintances.

I am Crow. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ran-san is it?

CREEEEEPY.

[nobodysheroine]

No harm, no foul. I know I'm not the end-all, be-all of this place. And people have been really cool about trying to be helpful and saying hello.

I'm not really the very outgoing sort, so this is me kind of going out on a limb, but Argent seems to like you well enough, so I'd imagine you know how to carry on an intelligent conversation. Or am I giving him too much credit here?

Crow, Ran is correct. Nice to meet you.

[ ooc :: WE ARE SO CO-WORKERS ONCE EMMY THROWS A LOG UP TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL. ]

STALK STALK STALK

[moonlit_mirage]

People are in general very nice here, I have found, Ran-san.

I am flattered you extend the greetings, then. I hope I can live up to your expectations. And not let down your view of Argent-san.

The pleasure is mine.

((OOC: THEY CAN GEEK ABOUT BOOKS TOGETHER?))
