10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

[menial]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.



Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

Creepy.']

I see it! It's a face!

[video]

[menial]

Ah, you got it, Sophie-chan. How about that, huh?

[video]

[promisebythetree]

Why didn't they just draw a face normally, though?

[video]

[menial]

... Because ...

[...]




... Some people like to complicate things?

[video]

[promisebythetree]

That's really weird.

[Still... she looks contemplative. And disappears off the video feed for a few minutes.]

[video]

[menial]

Yeah, well--

[...............

'Where'd she go.']

[menial]

....





Beautiful.

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

Thank you.

[isn't it a better face?]

[voice]

[menial]

... Yeah. That's, uh, very realistic, too.

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

The face is much easier to see like this.

[voice]

[menial]

True. But what about the tree and the statue?

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

It's right there.

[she points to the... tree-ish looking thing on the side, and the black nose.]

[voice]

[menial]

Well--



But...




You know, you're right.

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

You should try drawing one too.

[voice]

[menial]

I don't think I could ever top yours.

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

But it's fun.

[voice]

[menial]

Ah, yeah, well, for those of us who can draw as well as you, maybe.

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

You can't draw?

[voice]

[menial]

Not one bit.

[voice]

[promisebythetree]

Then, I can teach you.

[kyon, say no]

[voice]

[menial]

Really? To be as good as you? How long will that take, though? Probably years. I don't know if I have that long.
