4 ~ I have never believed in Santa, ever. [audio]

[menial]

...So, it's getting close to the end of the month again, but nothing weird seems to be happening. Or am I missing something? Anyone know if we might just be getting a reprieve or something? Or maybe I just shouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth.

['Because I don't believe in the Malnosso being Santa Claus to us.'

However, that's not the main purpose for this post; instead, he goes on with a filter he worked for a while on. Ideally, Asakura won't suspect it at all.]

[filtered to Shiki, Minato, Winry, Rise, SOS Brigade members who have interacted with him before, and other close-enough CR (PM me if you're not sure) // 55%]

Yo. If you guys have seen a girl with blue hair who smiles a lot, by the name of Ryoko Asakura... Well, I guess I've got something to ask of you if you do attract her attention, but I'd rather not put it on the journal, so please talk to me if you've met her.

['So what if that makes it seem like I might have a crush on her? Better that than someone hacks it and realizes that I know what Asakura is.']

All of these mysteries have me really curious. [ Uh oh. That's not a good sign. Run, Kyon, run. ] So they can invent these people that can blend in with humans perfectly but they can't talk to them themselves? They seem really orderly, too, like they have a complex government.

[menial]

They seem to have some method of communication such that they're really all aspects of one entity. The Integrated Data Sentient Entity. They exist purely on the data plane, or whatever the hell, so they can't physically contact us without creating these interfaces.

[weaponry]

This sounds really complex. Our world doesn't have any such planes. Is it like one person behind all of this? Is that what you mean by aspects of one entity? And what's a data plane? [ All of the questions. She will ask all of them. ]

['Who cares?']

I don't know. It's like one thing that has factions with in it. I'm not one of them, so I couldn't really tell you.

[weaponry]

Is there one I can talk to? Besides the one that thinks the solution to everything is offing you?

[menial]

Not at present, no.

[weaponry]

Fantastic. I wonder how we're ever going to make sense of this now.

[ ooc: My apologies for the lateness!!! I was just overwhelmed with an irl task list yesterday! ]

np!

[menial]

Well, there's little point in making sense of it here anyway. If you want to try in my world, it's a different matter.

[weaponry]

Well, I'm just a curious person. What doesn't make sense drives me insane. [ That's why she has no screen time in Naruto! ] I'd be happy to investigate in your world though.

[menial]

Then you would probably be driven insane if you came. If the opportunity comes up, though, you're welcome to do so.

[weaponry]

Please. I've been on Guy-sensei's team for about five years. I've seen and experienced enough crazy things to survive and remain sane. Thank you for the invitation, though.

[menial]

You'll have to tell me about some of those, then. I have a feeling my world would be at least decent competition.

[weaponry]

They're loud and in green spandex with bowl cuts. They shout about the power of youth but they're crazy powerful. They've practice in tutus, bikinis and even dressed one of my teammates up as a turtle. [ ....Sigh. This is going to be an interesting conversation. ]

[menial]

Well, I suppose that is rather out of the ordinary. On the other hand, Haruhi dressed Asahina-san up as a frog fairly regularly, and let's not get started on the bunnies.

['For one thing, it might draw a comparison to other things that hop, cough, kangaroos.']
