It's not like you're an easy man to find to begin with.

[ hrm. how to respond to that - ]

The benefit of having lived for a very long time is that you have plenty of time to make choices and learn from them.

I have made my choice, and I will live with it, as I always have.

[frostfist]

Not a bad way of looking at things. I don't suppose you could impart it onto a few of our peers?

[ also kidding. everyone processes things at their own pace. ]

Now that we've all made our choice and been dealt the resulting outcome, what do you plan to do for the future?

[undrowned]

It's hard to suffer loss regardless. It's not like it gets any easier for me as well. There's wisdom in detaching myself from everything fleeting, but I chose not to do that.

I do care immensely, but the reality is, the future is always uncertain.

And I plan to do what I've always done, which is to take care of myself and my own. It's served me well so far.

[frostfist]

You make yourself sound like a mother watching over her brood.

[undrowned]

... It's that bad?

[frostfist]

It's heartwarming.

Would you have preferred I saw something along the lines of a wolf leader and its pack?

[undrowned]

I don't know if that suits me.

Someone told me I need to practice my more serious face. Apparently it's not very effective.

[frostfist]

You seem plenty serious to me. Any more serious and you're going to turn into Yuwon.

[undrowned]

Oh, I haven't met Yuwon. Sorry.

... anyway, it was just that one person who said it to me. Maybe he prefers I smile more, which I also don't mind. I do enough of that too.

[frostfist]

You're not missing much.

[ sorry, yuwon. ]

This person's opinion must be important to you, if you're considering acting upon it.

[undrowned]

If you say so ...

Oh, and it's just Callisto. Lucky for him I do have other reasons to smile about. But it did confuse me a little when he mentioned a serious face is unsuitable to me and I needed more practice ... [ lol ]

[frostfist]

[ ❓ ]

I didn't realize you were so close with our resident crown [ but also clown ] prince.

[undrowned]

We get along well enough.

[ they held hands. ]

[frostfist]

[ how spicy 🌶️ ]

And his attitude doesn't bother you?

[undrowned]

Believe it or not, he can be good company. I've spent enough time with him to verify this fact.

... Though I'm not excusing his silliness. He certainly deserves consequences from that.

[frostfist]

I'll take your word for it.

But it sounds like you're settling in quite well.

[undrowned]

I am, thank you.

I've made friends. People have been rather nice to me. Things could be worse.

[frostfist]

You make it sound as though those aren't usual occurrences that happen to most people.

[undrowned]

Well, with the kind of crowd LILITH likes to recruit, it's truly a miracle that most of us get along. Willingly or not.

[frostfist]

Fair point.

What other interesting facts have you picked up about the motley crew gathered here?

[undrowned]

Aren't you nosy today.

I don't know if I can give out juicy details so easily. You haven't told me anything about yourself at all.

[frostfist]

You don't think it's natural for someone to be curious about their coworkers?

[ but she's right: he is nosy. ]

What do you want to know? I'm afraid there's not much that's interesting about me.

activated my trap card, etc.

[undrowned]

Very well. Answer the following:

1. When is your birthday?
2. What is your favourite dish?
3. You are trapped in an island with two of the most insufferable people you've met since your arrival here. You are given the option for rescue at the cost of abandoning one of them to starve and die. Who do you pick?
3a. You cannot sacrifice yourself.
4. You make friends with Joe, an Outsider like yourself who has been here for the same length of time as you are. While you and Joe get along fairly well, you get the sense that Joe is hesitant to deepen your friendship. When asked, Joe believes that he doesn't deserve your friendship because of the terrible things he has done in his past; as a result, Joe tries to avoid disappointments by keeping everyone at an arm's length. Joe insists that keeping your distance is best for you. Do you listen to Joe?
5. Do you intend to go back to your world?

You can lie. Just make it funny or interesting.
