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

['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.

Do you remember what book that was from?

[The illustration is nice... though Winry isn't sure she can judge. Most of her own drawings happen to be technical sketches for work.]
menial: (% who cares?)

[personal profile] menial 2012-09-20 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, not really. It had a kind of pop culture kind of name, something about amazing optical illusions.

Optical illusion? [Wait she didn't see any! Winry looks harder. Hmm... Give her a minute.]

No, I... Oh, hold on! Is it a face?

Is this the kind of stuff you read often?

[Voice]

Well, not really. It was just something interesting I saw in the library.

...I've been a little bored lately.

What, Haruhi's not making you do errands every day?
menial: (& eyebrow quirk)

[Voice]

[personal profile] menial 2012-09-20 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Not enough to fill up the day, anyway.

...Don't tell her that.

[Maybe what doesn't work as well over the journal?]

I don't get it. [...] Nothing happened.

[She's expecting something flashy and exciting to happen. Or at least for someone to pull a flap so something comes out like a pop-up book.]

['Ah, is my greatest challenge to arrive so soon?']

Well, what do you see in the picture, Yotsuba?

Two people kissing?

[STAAAAAARE.]

Oh, no, it's a face! Iinchou would like something like that, that's his forte. It's neat, where'd you find it?
airhead_overlord: (...Really now...)

[personal profile] airhead_overlord 2012-09-20 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
There's uhm...and...t-there's so many things in that picture.
rollypolyclover: (Oh nevermind found this cross thing)

[Voice]

[personal profile] rollypolyclover 2012-09-20 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
... Ice cream.

[At first she sounds a little unsure, but after a little more looking she sounds a lot more positive.]

Ice cream.

.... You know, sometimes they say your first reaction to an image says more about you than about the image, Kusakabe.

But yeah -- in a book about optical illusions in the library.

['Also, who's the "Iinchou" here...']
menial: (& not much else)

[personal profile] menial 2012-09-20 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... but you didn't say any of them.

[personal profile] airhead_overlord 2012-09-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, uhm...a face, a statue, a tree, houses...and some kind of bug looking thing.
menial: (* another face another palm)

['Yotsuba Koiwai, proof positive that governmental education is failing our children.']

Where?

...What flavor?
airhead_overlord: (But that makes no sense!)

[Voice]

[personal profile] airhead_overlord 2012-09-20 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Are all those things really there though? Because it's all kinda weird...and confusing to look at.
rollypolyclover: (Ice cream will fix it!)

[Voice]

[personal profile] rollypolyclover 2012-09-20 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
In the middle! Can't you see it Kyon? Open your eyes!

[The skirt looks like a cone and the coat and head looks like the ice cream with a cherry on top! Judging by this black and white picture, she would have to say the flavour is-]

Vanilla!

Is that a picture of your mom?

[Asked completely earnestly.]
ribbonbon: (Uh...)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2012-09-20 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's like, kinda realistic, huh? Like the kind of thing you see in those classic novels they use for English classes and stuff.

[She's now assuming that's what Kyon reads in his spare time. He must be super smart...!]

You mean you're not interested in any of those things?
