Takisu's ICC Logs

24 Nov 18, 11:10 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Waves them off, then walks out-
24 Nov 18, 11:09 PMJo (Boop)
Good-bye Takisu
24 Nov 18, 11:09 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Puts their dorm parent's number in- I should be going now, but I'll call your dorm parent and try to set something up. Um, you all have a nice day. -Awkward smile-
24 Nov 18, 11:08 PMJo (Boop)
To contact them is "repeat after me *phone number*"
24 Nov 18, 11:06 PMJo (Boop)
.... dorm parent, yes.
24 Nov 18, 11:05 PMChloe Black
... *shrugs to herself*
24 Nov 18, 11:03 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Nods slowly- I think I understand. Hmm... I would love to help you get accommodated here and teach you new things. Is there any way I can, ah, contact you? Or your dorm parent?
24 Nov 18, 10:59 PMJo (Boop)
I live on big rock for much long time. Then space station for little time. Then I get big from people. They teach talking. I come here,.
24 Nov 18, 10:55 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes, it can be a lot to understand. Are you, um, new to the island?
24 Nov 18, 10:55 PMJo (Boop)
A lot of things to see. Much things are not rocks. Very a lot.
24 Nov 18, 10:51 PMChloe Black
good. *thumbs up*
24 Nov 18, 10:48 PMJo (Boop)
I will ask, yes.
24 Nov 18, 10:47 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
There are, uh, different types of glasses.
24 Nov 18, 10:47 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Glasses for people will help you see.
24 Nov 18, 10:47 PMJo (Boop)
Glasses? Windows have glasses...
24 Nov 18, 10:47 PMChloe Black
Tell them you might need glasses. Glasses are things you wear on your face that make it easier to see
24 Nov 18, 10:46 PMChloe Black
You should ask your dorm parent about something. "Glasses."
24 Nov 18, 10:45 PMJo (Boop)
Things. Word thing are hard to see..
24 Nov 18, 10:44 PMChloe Black
:) You'll get there eventually, I'm sure
24 Nov 18, 10:43 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I don't think I understand...
24 Nov 18, 10:43 PMJo (Boop)
... Hard to see?
24 Nov 18, 10:42 PMJo (Boop)
Hard to look? things.
24 Nov 18, 10:42 PMJo (Boop)
Yes.. they teach me talking. I lived on big big rock. No people.
24 Nov 18, 10:41 PMChloe Black
... they're teaching you though, right? @Jo
24 Nov 18, 10:41 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It's not my place to judge the morals of other species, when my own are so heavily criticized. We were best suited to be with fae, so free will was not something that needed to be of importance.
24 Nov 18, 10:40 PMJo (Boop)
Yes... school gives me phone..... I do not read.
24 Nov 18, 10:40 PMChloe Black
Well. I was raised with humans, so I'm pretty attached to this whole free-will-and-bodily-autonomy thing
24 Nov 18, 10:40 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
((Got it.))
24 Nov 18, 10:38 PMChloe Black
(oh if that was obviously aimed at Jo then nvm))
24 Nov 18, 10:38 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh, I meant, uh, Jo. So I could teach him about free will.
24 Nov 18, 10:37 PMChloe Black
I do.
24 Nov 18, 10:35 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Do you have a phone?
24 Nov 18, 10:34 PMJo (Boop)
Teaching is good. *claps a couple times*
24 Nov 18, 10:34 PMAlvin Thorncroft
*oh my god*
24 Nov 18, 10:34 PMAlvin Thorncroft

24 Nov 18, 10:33 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
My little cousin is actually bonded to a demon. I'm so proud of them. :flusteredneko: -But, like, in a sad way-
24 Nov 18, 10:31 PMChloe Black
In my hell this sort of thing is common. And sometimes probably more extreme
24 Nov 18, 10:31 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Jo Most likely, but I wouldn't mind helping teach you.
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMAlvin Thorncroft
They have a different view on it than people like us would
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
*for us))
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes. Many have strayed from the path chosen from us, but I've stayed committed.
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMJo (Boop)
*?
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Rubs their face-
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMChloe Black
... A traditionalist, I see. :)
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMAlvin Thorncroft
It's my understanding that Oricenta are wired for servitude @Chloe
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMJo (Boop)
Is free will more "complicated things that take too long to explain"
24 Nov 18, 10:30 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
... A-Ah! I know that, uh, makes some people uncomfortable. I'll... shush now.
24 Nov 18, 10:29 PMChloe Black
*blink blink @Takisu*
24 Nov 18, 10:29 PMAlvin Thorncroft
I'm just a scary dude
24 Nov 18, 10:29 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I have no issues with my "free will" being bent. I know my role in this world and I intend to serve it for as long as possible.
24 Nov 18, 10:29 PMAlvin Thorncroft
I've seen it, never had it happen to me on either side though
24 Nov 18, 10:28 PMChloe Black
I've been on both sides of that, actually
24 Nov 18, 10:28 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Would make police work harder
24 Nov 18, 10:28 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Makes me glad I ain't affiliated with any elements
24 Nov 18, 10:28 PMJo (Boop)
I do not know these things.
24 Nov 18, 10:27 PMChloe Black
Oh, uh. I was just going to say something about how tricky it can be to respect someone's free will, when they have a compulsion to obey you.
24 Nov 18, 10:26 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
*about to say something?))
24 Nov 18, 10:26 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Chloe Before Angelo left, you were, ah, about to leave?
24 Nov 18, 10:22 PMJude Genovese
-scoots out-
24 Nov 18, 10:22 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Jo Yes. Earth and Fire.
24 Nov 18, 10:22 PMJo (Boop)
I control magma. Betsy teached me. ... that is an element?
24 Nov 18, 10:21 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Gives Chloe an expecting look-
24 Nov 18, 10:20 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It was nice meeting you as well. @Jude
24 Nov 18, 10:19 PMChloe Black
*sorta trails off* uh, good to see you again Angelo
24 Nov 18, 10:19 PMJo (Boop)
Good-bye Jude Angelo
24 Nov 18, 10:18 PMJude Genovese
It was nice meeting you Takisu.
24 Nov 18, 10:18 PMChloe Black
Well. As much practice as I have with not saying anything as a command...
24 Nov 18, 10:18 PMJude Genovese
I think I'm going to head off for the night, actually.
24 Nov 18, 10:18 PMJo (Boop)

24 Nov 18, 10:17 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
For my people, someone who controls one or more of the four elements. Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.
24 Nov 18, 10:16 PMJo (Boop)
... what is an ele-ment-alist?
24 Nov 18, 10:15 PMJude Genovese
:)
24 Nov 18, 10:15 PMChloe Black
*squint x2, now with squinting at Takisu also*
24 Nov 18, 10:14 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
No, it's no trouble at all! I'm always happy to fulfill my role in this world.
24 Nov 18, 10:14 PMChloe Black
*squint*
24 Nov 18, 10:14 PMJo (Boop)
I am a bac-terium
24 Nov 18, 10:13 PMAlvin Thorncroft
That must be rough....
24 Nov 18, 10:13 PMChloe Black
... that must mean Jo's an elementalist.
24 Nov 18, 10:13 PMJo (Boop)
... *so confused*
24 Nov 18, 10:12 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I had a feeling, but better safe than sorry. Um, I appreciate it.
24 Nov 18, 10:12 PMJude Genovese
And it would be... meaninglessly difficult.
24 Nov 18, 10:12 PMAlvin Thorncroft
. . .
24 Nov 18, 10:12 PMJude Genovese
Because they definitely didn't mean it as one.
24 Nov 18, 10:11 PMChloe Black
*eyes emoji*
24 Nov 18, 10:11 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Uh, not to overstep my boundaries or anything... but why?
24 Nov 18, 10:11 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
:ohshitneko: A-Ah, alright...
24 Nov 18, 10:10 PMJude Genovese
-OH NO- Don't take that as a command.
24 Nov 18, 10:09 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
No jumping? -Trying to figure out if this is a command-
24 Nov 18, 10:08 PMJo (Boop)
No jumping.
24 Nov 18, 10:07 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
No, it's not...
24 Nov 18, 10:06 PMJo (Boop)
... that is good? @Takisu
24 Nov 18, 10:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I'm just... easily startled.
24 Nov 18, 10:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Jo No, you don't.
24 Nov 18, 10:05 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Not doing that all the time
24 Nov 18, 10:05 PMAlvin Thorncroft
I'd recommend
24 Nov 18, 10:04 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
I see.
24 Nov 18, 10:04 PMJo (Boop)
Am I ... need to jump?
24 Nov 18, 10:04 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes, especially so close to me.
24 Nov 18, 10:03 PMJude Genovese
It's the sudden vanishing and reappearing. :|
24 Nov 18, 10:03 PMJo (Boop)
*listening confused*
24 Nov 18, 10:03 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
Is it just my shifting in general that causes you all to jump? I thought it was just my sudden appearance
24 Nov 18, 10:02 PMChloe Black
*laughs, though clearly trying not to*
24 Nov 18, 10:02 PMJude Genovese
....
24 Nov 18, 10:02 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
:blehneko:
24 Nov 18, 10:02 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
:|
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Jumps-
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
*vanishes and appears back where he was*
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
*much))
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Waht the hell....
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMChloe Black
much
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes, must better.
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMJude Genovese
... Good. 8)
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMAlvin Thorncroft
:|
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
Is that better?
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Eh?
24 Nov 18, 10:01 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
*vanishes and walks through the entrance door*
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMJude Genovese
Or do what he does. -gestures to Alvin- Although not at the same time.
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Long enough to step out of a portal and open the door :|
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
:| I suppose.
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mind, uh, teleporting outside next time?
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMJude Genovese
if you apologize for something but keep doing it, it's a false apology.
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Like three seconds
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMJude Genovese
I'm fine. Just slightly irritated.
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Sorry. Master Angelo-
24 Nov 18, 10:00 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
This is just a much easier way of transport for me
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Goes over to check on Master Jude- Are you okay?
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
My apology is sincere. I do not have the intention of startling
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It's good to not get used to those types of things. You must always be on guard in case of an attack. -Good stuff coming from someone recovering from falling onto the floor-
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMChloe Black
Anyway. How long were you in that closet? @Alvin
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMJude Genovese
That said, don't give false apologies. It just makes you look fake. @Selkris
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMJo (Boop)
*they don't react*
24 Nov 18, 09:59 PMAlvin Thorncroft
Man...
24 Nov 18, 09:58 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
Well here at least. I’ve been told my shifting is near silent
24 Nov 18, 09:58 PMChloe Black
You'd think Madeline's nonsense would have desensitized me by now
24 Nov 18, 09:58 PMJude Genovese
I wouldn't want to.
24 Nov 18, 09:58 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
You will never get used to my sudden appearances will you Angelo? @Jude
24 Nov 18, 09:58 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Stares at the floor, looking super baffled-
24 Nov 18, 09:58 PMChloe Black
...
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMChloe Black
*hand is in her purse and she's muttering something in another language,*
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMJude Genovese

24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
My apologies for starling you
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Jumps and falls onto their behind-
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMJude Genovese
-jumps at Selkris, as he always does-
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMAlvin Thorncroft
*steps out of a closet*
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMSelkiris (Arcadia)
*just kinda appears, sitting down in a chair* Hello.
24 Nov 18, 09:57 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Comes back downstairs- Oh, he's gone.
24 Nov 18, 09:56 PMJo (Boop)
Rocks do not go in bag.
24 Nov 18, 09:55 PMJo (Boop)
Yes. Betsy talked me what is trash. We put in bags.
24 Nov 18, 09:55 PMJude Genovese
See you Altizica.
24 Nov 18, 09:54 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Well actually I need to be going. Need to rest up, my body isn’t what it used to be *soft chuckles, waves and leaves*
24 Nov 18, 09:53 PMJude Genovese
-nods- We cleaned up teh park.
24 Nov 18, 09:53 PMChloe Black
Right. I think you said it was picking up trash?
24 Nov 18, 09:53 PMJo (Boop)
It was ... fun.
24 Nov 18, 09:51 PMJude Genovese
This is Jo. We did one of those Regalia challenges together once.
24 Nov 18, 09:51 PMChloe Black
Friend of yours? @Jude
24 Nov 18, 09:50 PMJude Genovese
-sweat, how does he explain this- :Ic This might be an... overly complicated idea to start with. @Jo
24 Nov 18, 09:50 PMChloe Black
(in response to alt)
24 Nov 18, 09:50 PMChloe Black
*gives a wordless thumbs up*
24 Nov 18, 09:50 PMJo (Boop)
This is age numbers thing? I can have friends if I have no number?
24 Nov 18, 09:50 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
No no it’s fine. I’m just trying my best to not cause drama. Need to leave personal issues out of here.
24 Nov 18, 09:49 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Fidgets with their hair- Um... -Looks around the room. Suddenly seems nervous- I should... go upstairs. -Darts up-
24 Nov 18, 09:49 PMJude Genovese
Probably not a bad idea.
24 Nov 18, 09:49 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks at Jude. Looks at Altizica- A-Ah, y-yes... I shouldn't, um... push you to talk about stuff you're not okay with.
24 Nov 18, 09:48 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
*looks like he’s about to say something but stops self*
24 Nov 18, 09:48 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
No, I think that matters. -Tilllllts head-
24 Nov 18, 09:47 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Not that it matters.
24 Nov 18, 09:47 PMChloe Black
*flops on a beanbag*
24 Nov 18, 09:47 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Many adults aren’t really pleased with me from what I can tell
24 Nov 18, 09:46 PMJude Genovese
Adults tend to be friends with other adults. @jo
24 Nov 18, 09:45 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I don't think the age difference is too much of an issue. There's not a lot of kids back home... I could see Zaydri connecting better with adults.
24 Nov 18, 09:45 PMJo (Boop)
Adults can not have friends? Friends are good, yes?
24 Nov 18, 09:44 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
...Oh *hard cough*
24 Nov 18, 09:44 PMJude Genovese
So it's always going to be uneven.
24 Nov 18, 09:44 PMJude Genovese
Ah, yeah. Like, Smokey's still pretty young. And you're... an adult.
24 Nov 18, 09:43 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Age gap?
24 Nov 18, 09:43 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Hm? @Jude
24 Nov 18, 09:43 PMJude Genovese
Ah. I didn't mean that kind of g ap.
24 Nov 18, 09:42 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
I see....well that’s nice.......
24 Nov 18, 09:42 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Yea...I’ve been trying to learn more about Oricenta as a result.
24 Nov 18, 09:41 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes, that too. Even Zaydri is argumentative with me. They don't mean anything with their outbursts. They're just very emotional.
24 Nov 18, 09:41 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks really confused- Oh! Well, they can be a bit... -pft- hot-headed.
24 Nov 18, 09:41 PMJude Genovese
Well, you have a pretty big gap between you two.
24 Nov 18, 09:40 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Um, I mean that in a go—Wait, why wouldn't they be...
24 Nov 18, 09:40 PMJude Genovese
8) -don't mind him, poker facing-
24 Nov 18, 09:40 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
I screwed up and they seemed really upset at me....
24 Nov 18, 09:40 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh, friends? Seems like a lot of people know them. -Light, forced chuckle0
24 Nov 18, 09:39 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Oh...we are...were...hope we still are friends.....
24 Nov 18, 09:39 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Um... How do you know Zaydri? Smokey. @Altizica
24 Nov 18, 09:36 PMJo (Boop)
I ... think name is ... good thing.
24 Nov 18, 09:35 PMJo (Boop)
You have a lot of people to give you names. Much ... happy? Person in space station give me one.
24 Nov 18, 09:34 PMJude Genovese
Many people, yeah. @Jo
24 Nov 18, 09:33 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I, um, appreciate it... I've been mistaken for being a relative of a few here...
24 Nov 18, 09:33 PMChloe Black
It's not normal, but it's not unheard of either @Izziel
24 Nov 18, 09:32 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Ah. I knew you were an oricenta but didn’t want to immediately assume you knew Smokey.
24 Nov 18, 09:32 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Altizica They are my little cousin.
24 Nov 18, 09:31 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I would visit the island occasionally, but my Guardian is here and Zaydri insisted on seeing how the outside world was, so bringing them here was their punishment.
24 Nov 18, 09:31 PMIzziel Reyhan
Is that normal?
24 Nov 18, 09:31 PMIzziel Reyhan
It felt kind of weird that she was saying sorry when she didn't even do anything.
24 Nov 18, 09:31 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Oh you know Smokey? @Takisu
24 Nov 18, 09:31 PMJo (Boop)
A lot. Many people have many things to be called?
24 Nov 18, 09:30 PMJude Genovese
DId you arrive on the island with SMokey...?
24 Nov 18, 09:30 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
:>
24 Nov 18, 09:30 PMIzziel Reyhan
*neon pink blush @pats*
24 Nov 18, 09:30 PMJude Genovese
It's very good, thank you.
24 Nov 18, 09:29 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
So, um, how's your coffee? @Jude
24 Nov 18, 09:28 PMJo (Boop)

24 Nov 18, 09:28 PMChloe Black
I've actually gone by a handful of names. But I prefer people here call me Chloe :) (mostly explaining for Jo)
24 Nov 18, 09:27 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
:||
24 Nov 18, 09:26 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
*just kinda sits down somewhere and watches*
24 Nov 18, 09:26 PMJude Genovese
... -sweat- Yes. My name is Angelo Genovese. But sometimes I get called Jude. I have multiple names. @Jo
24 Nov 18, 09:25 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Hello. Um, I'm Takisu Kaliiné.
24 Nov 18, 09:25 PMChloe Black
Hi @Jo
24 Nov 18, 09:24 PMChloe Black
Well, it's still good that you apologized. I'm proud of you for it. *pat pat*
24 Nov 18, 09:23 PMChloe Black
...huh
24 Nov 18, 09:23 PMIzziel Reyhan
She ended up apologizing back :I
24 Nov 18, 09:23 PMJo (Boop)
Hello *to the room in general*

24 Nov 18, 09:23 PMIzziel Reyhan
..Yeah. I apologized to that bear girl today when I finally saw her.
24 Nov 18, 09:23 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
*throws away paper bag he brought* So this is what not feeling hungry is like...huh. :|
24 Nov 18, 09:23 PMJo (Boop)
... @Jude
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMChloe Black
*also, waves to Angelo*
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMJude Genovese
-glances over and nods to Altizica-
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMJude Genovese
Jude was a nickname I went by.
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Hey everyone..
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMChloe Black
*side-hugs* behaving yourself? @Izziel
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMJo (Boop)
*oblivious to what takisu looks like* Angelo and Jude..... You have two of names?
24 Nov 18, 09:22 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks to Altizica and speaks quietly to themself- Why was everyone upstairs...

*goes and just leans on Chloe*
24 Nov 18, 09:21 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
*comes from downstairs*
24 Nov 18, 09:21 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
You're also an appreciator of nature? Even made a challenge to pick up garbage.
24 Nov 18, 09:21 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh. No wonder Zaydri likes you some much, Angelo.
24 Nov 18, 09:20 PMJo (Boop)
We picked up the garbage and trash
24 Nov 18, 09:20 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh!
24 Nov 18, 09:20 PMJude Genovese
-nods- Angelo is what I go by now, though. Jude is fine if you prefer that.
24 Nov 18, 09:19 PMJude Genovese
-oh no- We had a challenge once.
24 Nov 18, 09:19 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks pretty fuckin' offended-
24 Nov 18, 09:19 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
The challenge? He's not... -Tilts head-
24 Nov 18, 09:19 PMJo (Boop)
Yes... You. You are the challenge. You are called... Jude? Yes?
24 Nov 18, 09:18 PMChloe Black
*comes back downstairs*
24 Nov 18, 09:17 PMJude Genovese
Oh, Jo!
24 Nov 18, 09:17 PMJo (Boop)
... hello
24 Nov 18, 09:15 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Hello.
24 Nov 18, 09:15 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Nods at Jo-
24 Nov 18, 09:15 PMJo (Boop)
*awkwardly walks in*
24 Nov 18, 09:14 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes, that... makes sense. Well, I would be happy to introduce you to the rest of the family when you're ready. A friend of Zaydri is a friend of all of us.
24 Nov 18, 09:14 PMJude Genovese
The arm, for one
24 Nov 18, 09:14 PMJude Genovese
But I've been pretty busy.
24 Nov 18, 09:14 PMJude Genovese
Theeeeeeey made some invitations.
24 Nov 18, 09:13 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh good. Nice to meet you... Have they never told you about us? Or invited you over?
24 Nov 18, 09:13 PMJude Genovese
:Ic Nice to meet you either way.
24 Nov 18, 09:12 PMJude Genovese
It's fine, I know them by both names.
24 Nov 18, 09:10 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Smokey. I mean.
24 Nov 18, 09:10 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I'm one of Zaydri's oldest cousins in the family.
24 Nov 18, 09:09 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Cousin.
24 Nov 18, 09:09 PMJude Genovese
-yep he should have seen this coming, tries not to look surprised as he just... takes the coffee- So you're a... friend of Smokeys?
24 Nov 18, 09:08 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Goes to serve Angelo his coffee-
24 Nov 18, 09:08 PMJude Genovese
A lot better than my last one for sure. -clenches fist- And I can make a fist for once.
24 Nov 18, 09:07 PMIzziel Reyhan
Nice hand.
24 Nov 18, 09:06 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I heard all about it. Congratulations, though.
24 Nov 18, 09:04 PMJude Genovese
-glances down at it himself, wiggling his robot fingers- It's new. I'm still adjusting, honestly.
24 Nov 18, 09:04 PMJude Genovese
-glances over to Izziel, pauses for a moment, and then nods-
24 Nov 18, 09:03 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
The arm. -Stares at it-
24 Nov 18, 09:03 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes. I should have recognized you. With the, um...
24 Nov 18, 09:03 PMJude Genovese
Kaliiné? :Ic
24 Nov 18, 09:02 PMIzziel Reyhan
*floats back downstairs*
24 Nov 18, 09:01 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Smokey's friend. :O
24 Nov 18, 09:01 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Takisu Kalii—
24 Nov 18, 09:01 PMJude Genovese
I'm Angelo, by the way. Angelo Genovese.
24 Nov 18, 08:58 PMJude Genovese
-waaaaaatches them go- :Ic
24 Nov 18, 08:55 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Hurries to make some new coffee-
24 Nov 18, 08:53 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I made some earlier, but I'm not so sure how wa—Uh, yes.
24 Nov 18, 08:53 PMJude Genovese
Oricenta, right?
24 Nov 18, 08:53 PMJude Genovese
Uh. Coffee's nice if it's already made.
24 Nov 18, 08:52 PMJude Genovese
-looooooks Takisu up and down- :IC
24 Nov 18, 08:51 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Are you cold? Let me, uh... Do you like tea? Coffee?
24 Nov 18, 08:51 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Flinches-
24 Nov 18, 08:51 PMJude Genovese
I should have worn a heavier jacket.
24 Nov 18, 08:50 PMJude Genovese
-pops the door open- 8|
24 Nov 18, 08:47 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Tries to sit in one of the beanbags. Falls back awkwardly as they try to adjust their tail. Grimaces-
24 Nov 18, 08:41 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
R-Right. I'm Takisu Kaliiné.
24 Nov 18, 08:40 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Yes I hope so to. I am Altizica
24 Nov 18, 08:40 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Nods- Well... I hope you feel well. -Awkward, close-lipped smile-
24 Nov 18, 08:39 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
No just new situation is all
24 Nov 18, 08:38 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh, are you new here?
24 Nov 18, 08:37 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
Yea I’m fine. I’m just getting used to things is all.
24 Nov 18, 08:37 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks concerned... then again, they always look worried- Are you all right?
24 Nov 18, 08:36 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
H-hey
24 Nov 18, 08:35 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Waves at Altizica- Hello.
24 Nov 18, 08:35 PMAltizica (Arcadia)
*drags self in*
24 Nov 18, 08:24 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
My family was pretty shaken up after it... We were so worried my little cousin might get hurt. Since, us, some of us definitely pass for demons, if not dragons.
24 Nov 18, 08:23 PMChloe Black
And it's good that it's on people's minds.
24 Nov 18, 08:22 PMChloe Black
I've had time to calm down about it
24 Nov 18, 08:22 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh. Good... About it being fine. :ohshitneko:
24 Nov 18, 08:22 PMChloe Black
No, it's fine.
24 Nov 18, 08:21 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
We shouldn't, uh, bring that up.
24 Nov 18, 08:21 PMIzziel Reyhan
Prank. The prank.
24 Nov 18, 08:14 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Ah, I guess. Especially with all of that pra—-Shuts themself up quickly-
24 Nov 18, 08:09 PMChloe Black
*snrk @ Izzy*
24 Nov 18, 08:08 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Responses like I'm stalking them. I think it's how I look. :blehneko:
24 Nov 18, 08:08 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Light sigh of relief- That's good. I've done that to people a few times and go, uh... responses.
24 Nov 18, 08:08 PMIzziel Reyhan
You're faaaamous. *world's most muted jazzhands*
24 Nov 18, 08:06 PMChloe Black
No, it's fine. Plenty of people know me before I know them.
24 Nov 18, 08:06 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I should of, uh, waited for you to say your name first.
24 Nov 18, 08:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
You're the leader of the Demonic Student Union. My little cousin goes to the main school here, so I overhear some things.
24 Nov 18, 08:05 PMIzziel Reyhan
*lays down backwards on a couch*
24 Nov 18, 08:04 PMChloe Black
Yes! You've heard of me? :)
24 Nov 18, 08:03 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks a bit embarrassed by that. Shuffles a bit- Uh, my name is Takisu Kaliiné. And you're Chloe, yes?
24 Nov 18, 08:02 PMChloe Black
hey Izzy. And... an Oricenta I haven't seen before. hi
24 Nov 18, 08:01 PMIzziel Reyhan
Hey.
24 Nov 18, 08:00 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Waves at Chloe- Hello.
24 Nov 18, 08:00 PMChloe Black
*walks in*
24 Nov 18, 07:54 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
No. More like servitude.
24 Nov 18, 07:53 PMIzziel Reyhan
Sounds like marriage. :Ic
24 Nov 18, 07:51 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
We protect each other and make up for the flaws of the other. I think that's fine enough, yes.
24 Nov 18, 07:50 PMIzziel Reyhan
Eh...well. I mean, you said guardian, right? Long as you have someone to protect you you should be fine.
24 Nov 18, 07:49 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Here, oftentimes you need the strength to go with being direct with people. I don't have that.
24 Nov 18, 07:48 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Not enough motivation... I suppose.
24 Nov 18, 07:48 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Right, yes. -Nod nod- That's how my species should be, but, well, the island has been safe, and I've been living a nice life with my family and Guardian so far.
24 Nov 18, 07:45 PMIzziel Reyhan
Get good at both methods and you'll be fine. Adaptability and all that, you know?
24 Nov 18, 07:41 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
That's not really my thing. I prefer fading in the background and staying out of trouble.
24 Nov 18, 07:40 PMIzziel Reyhan
Gotta be direct with people, I guess.
24 Nov 18, 07:39 PMIzziel Reyhan
Yep. *nod nod, chews his gum*
24 Nov 18, 07:39 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Awkward, closed-mouth smile- That's a nicer way of seeing it. I guess as long as I'd say it to their face, it's not so bad.
24 Nov 18, 07:38 PMIzziel Reyhan
That doesn't make them bad people. Just...you know. Idiots.
24 Nov 18, 07:37 PMIzziel Reyhan
Mean and true aren't mutually exclusive. Hard truth is the world is stuffed with idiots.
24 Nov 18, 07:37 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Just people not so good at knowing people.
24 Nov 18, 07:36 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
No no, I understand. I'd seen some pretty silly people. Oh... maybe silly's kind of a mean way to put it.
24 Nov 18, 07:35 PMIzziel Reyhan
*rubs his chin* Maybe not the right words. I meant, I guess, less obtuse.
24 Nov 18, 07:34 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Not so socially apt though... Unless you consider stumbling through a conversation socially apt.
24 Nov 18, 07:33 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Exactly. That's how I try to do it.
24 Nov 18, 07:32 PMIzziel Reyhan
*the biggest shrug* There's less direct and more socially apt ways to figure that stuff out, though.
24 Nov 18, 07:29 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Just, yes, some people are too pushy about learning.
24 Nov 18, 07:29 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I can understand wanting to know more about a person... I'm the same way.
24 Nov 18, 07:27 PMIzziel Reyhan
Makes sense. People here are nosy.
24 Nov 18, 07:21 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Curious.
24 Nov 18, 07:21 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I appreciate you not pushing me on it. A lot of people, uh... are kind of...
24 Nov 18, 07:19 PMIzziel Reyhan
If you say so.
24 Nov 18, 07:14 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mm, they're covered for a reason. My eyes are nothing to compliment, that's for sure.
24 Nov 18, 07:12 PMIzziel Reyhan
*dry af smirk* Guess that's true. I could've mentioned the covered eyes, though.
24 Nov 18, 07:09 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Doing much better than me. -Soft laughter- At least you didn't compliment me by saying I have hair.
24 Nov 18, 07:08 PMIzziel Reyhan
Sounds about right. I'm not great at it either.
24 Nov 18, 07:07 PMIzziel Reyhan
Ahhhh.
24 Nov 18, 07:07 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I'm fine. Just not so good at small talk.
24 Nov 18, 07:06 PMIzziel Reyhan
*flicks his tail and lands on the ground* Uh, thanks. You okay?
24 Nov 18, 07:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
:ohshitneko:
24 Nov 18, 07:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
You have nice eyes! I mean.
24 Nov 18, 07:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
You have... -Looks Izziel up and down for a bit. Clearly trying to find something suitable to compliment him with- Eyes...
24 Nov 18, 07:04 PMIzziel Reyhan
*lazy blink* No problem.*pops his gum again*
24 Nov 18, 07:03 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Runs a hand through it- Really? I'm pretty used to it. No, wait... -N-Nods- I appreciate it.
24 Nov 18, 07:02 PMIzziel Reyhan
Cool hair.
24 Nov 18, 07:02 PMIzziel Reyhan
Izziel Reyhan.
24 Nov 18, 07:02 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Uh... Right! Names. I'm Takisu Kaliiné. And you are?
24 Nov 18, 07:01 PMIzziel Reyhan
*blows a bubble with his gum*
24 Nov 18, 07:01 PMIzziel Reyhan
Yeah. Hi.
24 Nov 18, 06:59 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Jumps at the appearance of another person- Oh. Hello.
24 Nov 18, 06:59 PMIzziel Reyhan
*floats*
24 Nov 18, 06:57 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Ah... No one's around... -Long sigh. Goes to make some coffee-
24 Nov 18, 06:55 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Peeks in hesitantly-

28 Dec 18, 01:09 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-nods to Takisu- SEe you.
28 Dec 18, 01:08 PMAuris Hilliar
So, that kind of thing happens here... *Mutters more to himself.*
28 Dec 18, 01:07 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Nods- Good seeing you too, Chloe. @Lynn I hope you also have a great day. -Gives a wave to everyone else, then walks out-
28 Dec 18, 01:07 PMLynn Wynn
Oh have a great day then! @Takisu
28 Dec 18, 01:06 PMChloe Black
Good seeing you, Takisu
28 Dec 18, 01:05 PMAuris Hilliar
*Seems like he's kinda lost in thought.*
28 Dec 18, 01:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Well then. -Stands up- I have a family meeting to prepare for. It was, uh, nice talking with all of you.
28 Dec 18, 01:05 PMChloe Black
It doesn't happen too often though. As far as I'm aware. But it happens way more than it should
28 Dec 18, 01:05 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Oh.
28 Dec 18, 01:04 PMAuris Hilliar
. . .
28 Dec 18, 01:04 PMChloe Black
Oftentimes kids, since they're easier targets
28 Dec 18, 01:03 PMChloe Black
Sometimes, there are organizations that want to learn more about supernaturals, but the supernaturals don't want to be learned about. So those organizations kidnap people and do awful things to them
28 Dec 18, 01:02 PMLynn Wynn
A-ah...uh thanks
28 Dec 18, 01:02 PMFang Drakenhardt
Well that's just one angle of it
28 Dec 18, 01:02 PMAuris Hilliar
Labs?
28 Dec 18, 01:02 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Labs?
28 Dec 18, 01:02 PMChloe Black
And yes, scouts do some rewarding and exciting work. Sometimes it's pretty dangerous. I've read stories about the times we knocked over some of those labs
28 Dec 18, 01:01 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes. You look quite stunning.
28 Dec 18, 01:01 PMChloe Black
@lynn
28 Dec 18, 01:00 PMChloe Black
What Jude said. I really like your outfit, by the way.
28 Dec 18, 01:00 PMLynn Wynn
Oh... :|c
28 Dec 18, 12:59 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Chloe mentioned they were deciding between being a lawyer and being a scout.
28 Dec 18, 12:58 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Jobs and scouts.
28 Dec 18, 12:57 PMLynn Wynn
What is the current topic of conversation?
28 Dec 18, 12:57 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I always knew of the island. Very easy place to stop by when I needed supplies.
28 Dec 18, 12:57 PMAuris Hilliar
I didn't have experience with that, I just poofed right in
28 Dec 18, 12:56 PMAuris Hilliar
Ahhhh, right
28 Dec 18, 12:56 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Scouts are the people who find supernaturals elsewhere and bring them back to the island. @Auris
28 Dec 18, 12:55 PMChloe Black
... But at the same time, I think I might be able to do some helpful stuff in a team like that. Ever since.. :Ic
28 Dec 18, 12:55 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Waves at Fang and Lynn- Hello.
28 Dec 18, 12:54 PMAuris Hilliar
*Waves at Lynn.* Sup
28 Dec 18, 12:54 PMLynn Wynn
Hello everyone!
28 Dec 18, 12:53 PMChloe Black
That's intense.
28 Dec 18, 12:53 PMLynn Wynn
*flutters in*
28 Dec 18, 12:53 PMFang Drakenhardt
He works with the extraction teams
28 Dec 18, 12:53 PMFang Drakenhardt
He says it's not really something you get into if you're all about the money
28 Dec 18, 12:52 PMChloe Black
You're right! I can't believe I haven't spoken with him about it
28 Dec 18, 12:52 PMFang Drakenhardt
My uncle i a scout
28 Dec 18, 12:52 PMChloe Black
I'm leaning towards scout. See the world, more skills that apply on other planets
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMAuris Hilliar
I 'unno what a scout does but lawyers get paid a lot
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I work for my Guardian as his personal assistant. It's very nice.
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMAuris Hilliar
*Lazy wave at Fang.*
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
A scout or a lawyer... :Ic
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMChloe Black
*nods to Fang*
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMFang Drakenhardt
*heads back downstairs*
28 Dec 18, 12:51 PMChloe Black
Since we're on the topic of doing things that aren't school
28 Dec 18, 12:47 PMChloe Black
I still haven't decided if I want to be a scout or a lawyer. Coming down to the wire here
28 Dec 18, 12:46 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mmmhmmm.
28 Dec 18, 12:46 PMAuris Hilliar
To each their own, it's just not for me. *Shrugs.*
28 Dec 18, 12:45 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I have fond memories of my time in it.
28 Dec 18, 12:45 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I'm no longer in school, but I wouldn't call is gross...
28 Dec 18, 12:44 PMChloe Black
She says, while considering grad school
28 Dec 18, 12:44 PMChloe Black
Fair I guess. It's nice to make your own money.
28 Dec 18, 12:44 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
*at))
28 Dec 18, 12:44 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Grimaces as "gross"-
28 Dec 18, 12:43 PMAuris Hilliar
Doin' cultural classes but I ain't doing anything beyond that
28 Dec 18, 12:43 PMAuris Hilliar
School? Gross, nah
28 Dec 18, 12:43 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Are you going to be going to the school next term?
28 Dec 18, 12:42 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
A brand.
28 Dec 18, 12:41 PMAuris Hilliar
Guessing that's the car? Aight @Chloe
28 Dec 18, 12:41 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Pft-
28 Dec 18, 12:41 PMChloe Black
you're a Toyota apparently
28 Dec 18, 12:40 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
A whole bu- oh, you mean of wars.
28 Dec 18, 12:40 PMAuris Hilliar
War gods, I mean
28 Dec 18, 12:40 PMAuris Hilliar
There was only one of me, unlike this place that has a whole bunch
28 Dec 18, 12:36 PMChloe Black
*looks up the car on her phone*
28 Dec 18, 12:35 PMAuris Hilliar
Yeup
28 Dec 18, 12:35 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
'War'?
28 Dec 18, 12:35 PMAuris Hilliar
The place I was supposed to hang in just called me by my domain
28 Dec 18, 12:35 PMChloe Black
They can get really weird in my plane of existence.
28 Dec 18, 12:33 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Names are all weird in general. I try not to htink about it too much.
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMAuris Hilliar
Oh, it is? Cool @Jude
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I guess they'll be fine.
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Watches Oaksprout- Mm.
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMChloe Black
Is it actually @jude
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Giggles at Jude, then covers their mouth-
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-small child is gonna sneak out now-
28 Dec 18, 12:32 PMAuris Hilliar
Fair.
28 Dec 18, 12:31 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Auris That could be said about my own name.
28 Dec 18, 12:31 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Here it's a car
28 Dec 18, 12:31 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I try not to pay too much attention to names. Different cultures and all.
28 Dec 18, 12:31 PMAuris Hilliar
Eh, common enough name where I'm from. *Casual shrug.*
28 Dec 18, 12:31 PMChloe Black
So's Auris Hilliar, to be fair.
28 Dec 18, 12:28 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I... guess so.
28 Dec 18, 12:28 PMAuris Hilliar
Interestin' name
28 Dec 18, 12:25 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I'm Takisu Kaliiné.
28 Dec 18, 12:24 PMAuris Hilliar
Yeah, you're the guy who I swear I've seen before but hadn't actually @Jude
28 Dec 18, 12:24 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Angelo Genovese. -nods-
28 Dec 18, 12:23 PMAuris Hilliar
*Scratches the back of his head with a laugh.* Feels weird I ain't the only one in that game anymore. Anyways, name's Auris Hilliar
28 Dec 18, 12:22 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Okay...
28 Dec 18, 12:22 PMChloe Black
@Takisu he's a war god or something. It's fine.
28 Dec 18, 12:20 PMAuris Hilliar
Oh, the blonde brat? Neat
28 Dec 18, 12:20 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
A-Ah, uh...
28 Dec 18, 12:19 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
...
28 Dec 18, 12:19 PMChloe Black
My niece is the one who beat you up that one time.
28 Dec 18, 12:19 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-nods to Auris-
28 Dec 18, 12:19 PMChloe Black
... Hi, I'm Chloe
28 Dec 18, 12:18 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Waves at Auris- Hello. We're talking about memory and magic.
28 Dec 18, 12:18 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I'm sure there's magic that will let me have perfect memory...
28 Dec 18, 12:18 PMAuris Hilliar
Wassuuuuup
28 Dec 18, 12:17 PMChloe Black
I'd probably have gotten where I am much sooner.
28 Dec 18, 12:17 PMAuris Hilliar
*Strolls on in.*
28 Dec 18, 12:17 PMChloe Black
Right?
28 Dec 18, 12:14 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It would make learning new magic so simple. -Sighs wistfully- We'd all be so powerful...
28 Dec 18, 12:13 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It's still a valuable ability to have. I could think of many uses for it.
28 Dec 18, 12:13 PMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Mmm. It's also probably a matter of lifespan. Even if I learned things every day, I'd still learn far less than you would over your lifetime.
28 Dec 18, 12:12 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I didn't mean to come off rude... But, um, yes, there's always new stuff out there to learn.
28 Dec 18, 12:10 PMChloe Black
Then I'll stop over thinking it :)
28 Dec 18, 12:09 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It's a way of thinking that makes it easier for me to accept my memory.
28 Dec 18, 12:08 PMChloe Black
*shrug* I'm not too sure about that. There's always new stuff out there to learn.
28 Dec 18, 12:00 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Sometimes I wonder why we aren't granted a perfect memory, but I guess our need to learn would prove detrimental if we couldn't forget to learn again.
28 Dec 18, 12:00 PMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Right. Zaydri mentioned that. I can see why they're so jealous. :gigglingneko:
28 Dec 18, 11:59 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Perfect memory means if I read it once, I know it automatically.
28 Dec 18, 11:59 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
mm. Not particularly, actually. I just read a lot of historical stuff.
28 Dec 18, 11:57 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Are you a fan of poetry?
28 Dec 18, 11:56 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
You know. Once you translate him.
28 Dec 18, 11:56 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Donne is super quotable.
28 Dec 18, 11:56 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
It's actually the same poem that gives us "For whom the bell tolls? It tolls for thee."
28 Dec 18, 11:55 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Pulls out his phone and starts texting-
28 Dec 18, 11:55 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mm. Sounds like poetry I would like.
28 Dec 18, 11:55 AMChloe Black
*ponders*
28 Dec 18, 11:54 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
"No man is an island" is a piece of poetry, but the general gist is... every person is a part of something larger. Humans don't stand entirely on their own.
28 Dec 18, 11:52 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Yes, that was lost on me.
28 Dec 18, 11:52 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
.. a lot of idioms make no sense on the island, now that I think of it
28 Dec 18, 11:51 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
No man is an island... Except that woman down on fourth, anyway.
28 Dec 18, 11:50 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It really is. I've met people from species that aren't as dependent on physical and emotional interaction, so they tend to live in isolation. It's so strange, compared to my living.
28 Dec 18, 11:49 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
It's interesting to me how different species vary...
28 Dec 18, 11:48 AMChloe Black
Huh.
28 Dec 18, 11:47 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
And on Ilada, 15 to 20 members are the most common. It's easier to care for one another in communal living.
28 Dec 18, 11:47 AMFang Drakenhardt
The way we move ourselves around I guess we don't think about it much
28 Dec 18, 11:46 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Chloe I bet. It can be very tiring. Be sure to take care of yourself after.
28 Dec 18, 11:46 AMFang Drakenhardt
I mean....
28 Dec 18, 11:46 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
My extended family was a quarter of their immediate.
28 Dec 18, 11:46 AMChloe Black
*deadpan*
28 Dec 18, 11:46 AMChloe Black
Thanks, I worked really hard finding all that useless stuff
28 Dec 18, 11:46 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
They live with seventeen
28 Dec 18, 11:45 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-It isn't clear by tone if he's joking or not-
28 Dec 18, 11:45 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
@Chloe Oh, and, uh, congratulations.
28 Dec 18, 11:45 AMChloe Black
Depends on if you're talking nuclear family or extended
28 Dec 18, 11:45 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Doesn't seem too large of a scale difference.
28 Dec 18, 11:45 AMFang Drakenhardt
Everyone knows at least one member of my family
28 Dec 18, 11:45 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
So theres a major scale difference between family sizes
28 Dec 18, 11:44 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
My family is... Two.
28 Dec 18, 11:44 AMChloe Black
Amount of stuff that isn't helpful to any of us
28 Dec 18, 11:44 AMChloe Black
The other day I found a truly impressive
28 Dec 18, 11:43 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
And I'll never stop being impressed at people being surprised that seventeen family members is a large number.
28 Dec 18, 11:43 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
When I can
28 Dec 18, 11:43 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Most likely not enough to end this weather.
28 Dec 18, 11:43 AMChloe Black
I don't get it. I'm not hip with the kids
28 Dec 18, 11:42 AMFang Drakenhardt
Seventeen :')
28 Dec 18, 11:42 AMChloe Black
Jude, you still been hitting the books?
28 Dec 18, 11:41 AMChloe Black
... Seventeen of you. That's a decent amount of elemental power.
28 Dec 18, 11:41 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Laughs with an awkward smile. Catches himself and covers his mouth-
28 Dec 18, 11:41 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Every time I hear 'seventeen' my brain has to reboot a bit...
28 Dec 18, 11:40 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mm... perhaps... There's seventeen of us in total. Getting around has been an issue too.
28 Dec 18, 11:39 AMChloe Black
How about.magic charms to keep you warm? They're a bit on the pricy end, but...
28 Dec 18, 11:39 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
We can turn off our elements, but that's only if there are no other options. There's still the option of leaving.
28 Dec 18, 11:38 AMChloe Black
Ah.
28 Dec 18, 11:38 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
The majority of my family are fire elementals.
28 Dec 18, 11:38 AMChloe Black
You really think it's so bad you'd have to leave?
28 Dec 18, 11:38 AMFang Drakenhardt
Honestly I take my dragon form where it's convenient
28 Dec 18, 11:37 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
We were just discussing it.
28 Dec 18, 11:37 AMChloe Black
I'm fine. Just not used to all the snow. Or the boots. *gestures to boots she's wearing*
28 Dec 18, 11:37 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-nods to Chloe-
28 Dec 18, 11:37 AMFang Drakenhardt
:')
28 Dec 18, 11:37 AMFang Drakenhardt
"
28 Dec 18, 11:37 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I just have to, -loooooooong sigh- talk to the others.
28 Dec 18, 11:36 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Nods at Fang- We've been preparing somewhat just in case, but I might just speed things up.
28 Dec 18, 11:36 AMChloe Black
Some weather, huh? I've never seen snow so high on a material plane
28 Dec 18, 11:36 AMFang Drakenhardt
Are you alright? @Chloe
28 Dec 18, 11:36 AMFang Drakenhardt
I hate to say it but it might be safer to take your family back to Ilada for the time being
28 Dec 18, 11:36 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Waves at Chloe-
28 Dec 18, 11:35 AMChloe Black
*stumbles in*
28 Dec 18, 11:35 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I don't want to assume what the person behind it is like... but either way, it's not something I can handle for a long amount of time. I can only keep my element off for so long...
28 Dec 18, 11:34 AMFang Drakenhardt
I wonder if they're scared to come forward....
28 Dec 18, 11:34 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I thought the same thing. It hasn't advanced at all
28 Dec 18, 11:34 AMFang Drakenhardt
I don't think it's someone malicious, otherwise something else would have happened
28 Dec 18, 11:33 AMFang Drakenhardt
I mean.... it can't stay like this
28 Dec 18, 11:30 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
If we have to leave, we'll just leave. Until things are better, perhaps.
28 Dec 18, 11:30 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Long sigh- Yes. I still have my family and work to take of, anyway. I don't want to try anything dangerous.
28 Dec 18, 11:26 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I imagine people are already looking for whoever's finding it, but that kind of magic isn't my thing.
28 Dec 18, 11:26 AMFang Drakenhardt
Perhaps.....
28 Dec 18, 11:25 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mmm. Just my people here wouldn't be enough. Perhaps the Drakenhardts... I'd include the Rukt'ins, if they were still available.
28 Dec 18, 11:23 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Hm. Like rolling a snowball down hill. Now that it's picked up speed it'll be hard to stop
28 Dec 18, 11:22 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
It would have to be a massive, organized event. It's a bit like...
28 Dec 18, 11:21 AMFang Drakenhardt
:|c
28 Dec 18, 11:19 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
:|c A counter-working. I'm not sure what kind of counter-working could work, but maybe if I worked with the other oricenta here...
28 Dec 18, 11:17 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Not much. I think a counter-working would be possible, but... it would take a lot. Whatever started this had a ton of energy.
28 Dec 18, 11:15 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Any ideas?
28 Dec 18, 11:14 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I've been spending time at the library trying to figure out what's going on :Ic
28 Dec 18, 11:12 AMFang Drakenhardt
Hm...
28 Dec 18, 11:11 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Grimaces- Zaydri isn't even able to enjoy themself. Just working is difficult enough. I don't want them to have to go to school like this...
28 Dec 18, 11:10 AMFang Drakenhardt
Fingers crossed
28 Dec 18, 11:10 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Hopefully it's resolved before then...
28 Dec 18, 11:10 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Ugh. And break's over soon.
28 Dec 18, 11:05 AMFang Drakenhardt
I don't particularly mind it
28 Dec 18, 11:04 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Not our job... although we clear by the restaurant ourselves.
28 Dec 18, 11:04 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Apartment is nice for this for sure.
28 Dec 18, 11:04 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I'm not surprised.
28 Dec 18, 11:04 AMFang Drakenhardt
Also Cami
28 Dec 18, 11:04 AMFang Drakenhardt
There's three adult dragons who just... despise the stuff
28 Dec 18, 11:03 AMFang Drakenhardt
........Completely
28 Dec 18, 11:01 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Sounds nice. We've started adding clearing the house of snow as chores in the family. It's... difficult. :'(
28 Dec 18, 10:59 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I imagine the manor's one of the few places on the island that's snow-free...
28 Dec 18, 10:57 AMFang Drakenhardt
Hello Angelo
28 Dec 18, 10:56 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-ears perk up. New person! Still not a friend though. Returns to quietly playing alone in a corner-
28 Dec 18, 10:56 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-glances over and nods- Oh, Fang
28 Dec 18, 10:55 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Ah, good morning~
28 Dec 18, 10:55 AMFang Drakenhardt
Good morning
28 Dec 18, 10:54 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I should keep up with how much progress has been made with ending this. :blehneko:
28 Dec 18, 10:54 AMFang Drakenhardt
:|
28 Dec 18, 10:54 AMFang Drakenhardt
*walks in*
28 Dec 18, 10:53 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-scratches at chin- I don't know. Maybe?
28 Dec 18, 10:53 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I wonder if that's the reason for all of this... Keep people inside and immobile. It's certainly effective... for those not immune to the cold.
28 Dec 18, 10:51 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
It's definitely keeping more people at home.
28 Dec 18, 10:51 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I hope so too, honestly.
28 Dec 18, 10:47 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I hope this gets worked out. I can only take so much. If it wasn't for Rafael being here, I would've returned home, safe.
28 Dec 18, 10:46 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Weak or not, it's certainly... uh... extreme. Reminds me of the snowier territories back home.
28 Dec 18, 10:44 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-looks uncomfortable for a moment, then tears their eyes away from Oaksprout and back to Takisu- Fine. I'm not weak to it or anything, and my arm's built to withstand a human range of hot and cold.
28 Dec 18, 10:44 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
So... Angelo, how have you been doing with this weather?
28 Dec 18, 10:40 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)

28 Dec 18, 10:40 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
:horrorneko: i will not touch. -scoots herself away from jude and Takisu-
28 Dec 18, 10:40 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
And... -long sigh- yes, Angelo understands.
28 Dec 18, 10:39 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
It's... It's not just that... We're strangers.
28 Dec 18, 10:39 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
This isn't something to be fixed. It was just a warning, since you tried to touch me without asking. If you did the same to them, they'll get hurt.
28 Dec 18, 10:39 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Yes.
28 Dec 18, 10:39 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
:orzneko: am I a really dangerous wolf? @Takisu
28 Dec 18, 10:37 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Please do not touch me with your skin, clothes, blanket, or anything else you find.
28 Dec 18, 10:37 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-looks up at Jude- no more danger if we can't touch right? -wiggles the blanket- now we cant touch.
28 Dec 18, 10:35 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-just... looks down at them- ...Huh?
28 Dec 18, 10:35 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-drags a blanket off a couch and wraps herself in it. Plops herself down on the floor by Jude's feet- is that better?
28 Dec 18, 10:33 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I can interact just fine with my family, close friends, and my Guardian.... Lonely is the last thing I would call myself.
28 Dec 18, 10:33 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
Oh.
28 Dec 18, 10:33 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Its... not really lonely. It's just your powers aren't compatible.
28 Dec 18, 10:33 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Flinches at Oaksprout- I am not lonely.
28 Dec 18, 10:33 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Mmm...
28 Dec 18, 10:32 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
=( that sounds lonely.
28 Dec 18, 10:32 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
I don't mean that. They could hurt you if you touch.
28 Dec 18, 10:31 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
:nanineko: -looks between Jude and Takisu-
28 Dec 18, 10:31 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Ah. I had no intentions on that anyways... Rules here about adults and children are... different.
28 Dec 18, 10:30 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-glances to Takisu- I probably shouldnt' have to say this, but please make sure you don't touch them.
28 Dec 18, 10:30 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
You aren't going to get a detention, no. That'd be something your guardians handle.
28 Dec 18, 10:30 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Rubs his face- I don't think so... I'm viewing things as a fire elemental. The snow is dangerous to me...
28 Dec 18, 10:29 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
Oh. :ohshitneko: will I be in trouble if the school found out i left the house? Will I get a detention?
28 Dec 18, 10:29 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-kind of just... adjusts himself, still a bit thrown off, and then settles back down in his chair-
28 Dec 18, 10:28 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
But... -soft shrug- children here are different. Don't mind me...
28 Dec 18, 10:28 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
... Babysitter refers to more than babies. Children of all ages. I like to think between, um, infant to 12. I think it's more necessary in this weather...
28 Dec 18, 10:27 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
:nanineko: but i'm not a baby. Why do I need a babysitter?
28 Dec 18, 10:26 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
... None of them came with you? No babysitter?
28 Dec 18, 10:26 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
Well daddy doesn't live on the island, and there's people at home but i'm not sure where Paragon is.
28 Dec 18, 10:25 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Which... guardian? Any one.
28 Dec 18, 10:25 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-ears droop. No hugs then- :pondersneko: which one.
28 Dec 18, 10:24 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-noooooope, pulls back- Please don't hug me.
28 Dec 18, 10:24 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Looks around- Where is your guardian? The snow is awful out there.
28 Dec 18, 10:22 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
How... sweet.
28 Dec 18, 10:21 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
thank you!!! -shakes herself free of both coat and gloves so she can give jude a big hug-
28 Dec 18, 10:20 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-scoots over to help her unzip the jacket-
28 Dec 18, 10:19 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
please? Pretty pretty please?
28 Dec 18, 10:19 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-watches Oaksprout- Do you need help with that...?
28 Dec 18, 10:18 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Yeah not touching that. Leeeeans deeper into his beanbag-
28 Dec 18, 10:18 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-waves to jude-
28 Dec 18, 10:18 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-flails slightly. Tries to pull her snow coat off but she can't reach the zipper with gloves on. Tries to take the gloves off but she cant pull hard enough-
28 Dec 18, 10:17 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-blinks at the... small child all bundled up, looking momentarily confused- ...Morning to both of you then.
28 Dec 18, 10:16 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Awkward smile at Oaksprout- I seemed to have missed all the nocturnals earlier. Been here reading... until, um, this little wolf came along.
28 Dec 18, 10:15 AMOaksprout (Human|Kyp)
-shifts, but is definitely still pouting. She's been dressed in a full winter snowsuit-
28 Dec 18, 10:14 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
Oh, Takisu. -nods to them-
28 Dec 18, 10:14 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
*one-sided))
28 Dec 18, 10:13 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
Angelo~
28 Dec 18, 10:13 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-SIGH OF RELIEF-
28 Dec 18, 10:13 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
And... I'd rather not have an awkward one-s conversation with a—
28 Dec 18, 10:13 AMOaksprout (Kyp)
-pouts-
28 Dec 18, 10:13 AMAngelo "Jude" Genovese
-arrives, all bundled up for the winter-
28 Dec 18, 10:13 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
... I... can't speak wolf...
28 Dec 18, 10:12 AMOaksprout (Kyp)
-whines. Gives Takisu the begging puppy eyes. Plz dont make her shift-
28 Dec 18, 10:11 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
I can't speak do... uh... wolf... Do you mind shifting into a form I can understand?
28 Dec 18, 10:11 AMOaksprout (Kyp)
-yips. Puffs out her chest to proudly show the tag-
28 Dec 18, 10:10 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Scoots back, looking for shifter tag- Are you a person?
28 Dec 18, 10:09 AMOaksprout (Kyp)
:nanineko: -scampers over to Takisu and sits at their feet.-
28 Dec 18, 10:03 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Flinches and uses a beanbag to shield any snow- Be careful, please. I don't do well with snow...
28 Dec 18, 10:02 AMOaksprout (Kyp)
-smol pup covered in snow from head to paws walks in. Immediately shakes off and sends half melted snow flying-
28 Dec 18, 09:00 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Still reading, now with some hot chocolate-
28 Dec 18, 05:57 AMTakisu (Humanoid/Keen)
-Peeks in, wearing extremely heavy clothing. Enters, immediately goes to the mini-library, picks up a book, and settles on a beanbag to read-
