( better. )

You wouldn't want to get your clothes wet when you go into the pool, would you?

[icanfixer]

Nay, but one can use a bathing suit in that case.

[ ... ]

Would thee like to find one?

[worldexecute]

I hadn't planned on getting in-- ( ahem. ) And I still don't, as my swimming skills are abysmal even with instruction.

( she just needs more practice. )

[icanfixer]

Oh, mine are as well! That is why I and my ass swim together.






[ naturally ]

[worldexecute]

Your ass.

[icanfixer]

Yes, mine ass. Would thee like to see a picture?

[ hold on she's getting her phone out anyway what choice do you have ]

[worldexecute]

( girl she doesnt want to see your ass you arent that close y



she has no choice. fine. )

Tell me about ten after.

[icanfixer]

[ here he is ]

Is he not darling?!

[worldexecute]

He's a horse.

[icanfixer]

Nay, he is an ass.

[ ... ]

A donkey. Horses are far more magnificent, as I have said.

[worldexecute]

No, he has the same face as the creatures on the carousel.

( THIS IS A HORSE. )

[icanfixer]

[ ...... ]

Nay, thou'rt incorrect, but I shall forgive thee for thou hath never seen either in person. Donkeys and horses are similar in the face, verily so, but there are key differences! For one, a horse is a noble beast who's only burden to bear is the valiant rider upon his back! For an ass, however, they must trudge along with luggage and other such sorts of things. One would rather be called long-faced than an ass as well, no? But there are positives to each that mark them differently as well! Horses are known for their shy temperament and fragile health, while if thou'rt strong as an ass then thou hath been called stalwart and unflappable! I do hope thee understand now.

[worldexecute]

( holy shit. )

Don Quixote. Do you, in some fashion, ride this thing in the water to keep yourself afloat, or do you rest something on it to help keep yourself from sinking?

[icanfixer]

...

[ hold on she's thinking if the logistics. ]

Would thee call positioning myself in the hole riding, or resting upon it?

[worldexecute]

( hmmm. )

If it didn't have a hole, your ass would be square on its back. So riding.

[icanfixer]

I am a burden, so it is an ass.

[ she is not admitting she's wrong. she'll die on this hill. ]

[worldexecute]

The only ass here is you.

( wings-- )

Send me that picture. I'm outsourcing opinions now.

[icanfixer]

[ okay she will ]

Very well! But the only ass that shall be seen here is thine!

[worldexecute]

( quickly sending off some texts...... she will set it aside for now. )

Ten?

[icanfixer]

That would be my dear Manager Esquire! They are...


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

sorry she's staring at her cake trying to think how much she can say. no, it's fine. okay. ]

They are the one who is responsible for us, from morning 'til we are at last dismissed for the night. While they do not recall who they had been before -- the removal of their head thus ensured that -- they are one of my favorite fellows! Ah, they do not fight like the rest of us however, so they linger in the back as we protect them. Manager Esquire allows me to decorate their notes as I please, and listens to me when I talk of things that I like; I am certain it is to learn more about the world they have lost the memory of, but I am glad to have an audience nonetheless! There are very few others who will encourage it as they do.

[ munch... she misses dante. where is her clockhead. ]

[worldexecute]

How are they alive if they've... ( ... ) They have a prosthetic head, don't they?

[icanfixer]

That they do. It is a clock, and all one can hear, so I am told, is tick-tocking. Those who are bound to them, which would be myself and the Sinclair in example, have no issue in understanding them.

[ via some telepathy type shit. it's fine. she wouldn't be bothered by a voice in her mind. ]

... What is thine opinion on such augmentations, Angela? Judge not by necessity, but simply by thy feelings about it.

[worldexecute]

I don't mind them.

( how could she? but she isn't getting into that.

....hmm. )

As they're part of your number, do you suppose there's something in one of the old branches of L Corp that resonates with them, as it does the rest of you keys?

[icanfixer]

[ ouuugugghh the company secret talk. she leans back in her seat, taking another strawberry and picking it apart to eat. being called... just a key doesn't sit well with her, even if that is what she is, and don takes a moment before she answers. ]

Perhaps. That is what is common among our lot at the moment, or so it was noted by a companion of mine. Um, they do not often discuss how they feel when we enter such a place, but they do seem a little off-balance at times. It may be that our connection affects them.

[worldexecute]

( angela lapses into silence, mulling it over. what was the connection between the limbus company employees, and what was left in the old forgotten branches of l corp? what was the connection between the company and the corp itself? that faust woman, the bus, how vergilius isn't counted among the people who can resonate... but that their manager is, at least as a possibility.

angela sips her tea. she thinks binah's would've tasted much better. )

Nine.
