Yes...Yes...oh wow I see! You trees have so much wisdom to share. Please tell me more.

[The feed opens up to this chatter and a little girl who is apparently talking to someone. Sometimes you can hear some other voices talking back.]

Wow I never knew all these things. But trees, you need to give me some context and greater details. Who glues on fake ears for over an hour just to not look human? Doesn't that seem a little bit silly? And who is this Oswald guy, copying the beloved cherish icon Mickey Mouse? And why are Fenimore and Adell spying on each other when they take baths? Who has a pompom growing out of their head? A person named Law is into BDSM? I didn't realize that old man Raven was into men! But I guess it was obvious that Ange Beeatooriiche was a brocon. She seems like that type. The sea of information is making me so lost and confused.

...And could you always talk and simply never did?

[ooc: if you want mayoi to drop tree gossip about your characters just let me know in the subject header and if its ok to do the truth stuff. the ones above were picked at random.]

Sometimes the only way to deal with those kind of things is to remain.. 'cool'.

[ repeating his word choice on purpose, since she does understand what he means - and yes, she's practically telling him here in a roundabout way that being deadpan is like some coping mechanism for her. ]

['...Huh.']

I see. I guess I even understand... kind of.

['And I hope she has it better somehow... that it gets better, I mean... Well, how exactly do you recover from that, though? How does anyone even do it to you?']

...Eh. Your life here is pretty good, right, Ange-chan?

It is. Better than anything I've had back home in a long while, either way. [ family, friends, a boyfriend.. honestly, she couldn't have gotten any of those back home. ]

Well. I'm really glad for you, you know. Maebara's a pretty good guy, after all. You should be able to be a happy person, too.

Yeah, Keiichi's.. really kind. [ too kind for her, she sometimes thinks, but she doesn't voice it right now. ] I guess I've been lucky to finally get a chance at happiness like this here.

['Gross, Ushiromiya, I don't need to hear about how big Maebara's kindness is.

No, kidding.']

Well, you certainly earned it.

You can say that much after only knowing me this little?

... After what you just told me, how could I doubt it?

It could be that that was my horrible execution for being a serial killer or something like that.

[ apparently she's back to normal if she can say ridiculous things like that with a deadpan tone again. ]

In which case I'm guessing you paid your debt to society or at least learned your lesson.

[DEADPAN-OFF]

[ IT'S ON, PAL. ]

Sorry, I still haven't changed my mind. I'd keep an eye open while sleeping if I were you.

Well, good of you to warn me at least.

I just figured I should out of common courtesy. You've been pretty friendly to me so far, after all.

Ah, so the friendly level right between "kill you without warning" and "don't kill you", huh?

That's exactly where we are right about now on the friendliness of serial killers scale.

Well, it looks like I'd better work on moving up, then. Then I can sleep with both eyes closed again.

Good luck. And until then, < have a nice dream >. [ even engrish now.

joy. ]
