[ kyoko your feeties... ]

It's...okay so far. Hopefully it stays that way? Caves, tunnels and I haven't had the best experience lately. [ haha. ]

But the lake's kind of cool. Think anything actually lives in it?

[factoring]

[Don't worry about it.]

Well if it ever gets to bad, we can always leave. [Just leave! Just walk out! (Teleport out!)]

It's possible. Do you want to try fishing?

[westedge]

That is the beauty of it this time. I love having the option to leave.

[ but he thinks about this...and wanders off to grab some poles. ]

Bet I can catch something huge. Let's do it. Ever done it before?

[factoring]

Did you get trapped...?

I've never fished before in my life.

[But sure, she's happy enough to do a bit of fishing for a while.]

[westedge]

Remember the ghosts? We first encountered them in an underground cave before we knew what they really were. [ but he kind of laughs at the second thing. ]

I've only fished like once or twice. It's...usually pretty boring, but the idea that there's something weird in the water makes it a little more interesting.

[factoring]

I see.

[ Information filed away. ]

Nothing around here is all that normal. I'm sure if you fished something up it'll be interesting.

[westedge]

I don't know. The dogs over at the pet store seem fine. [ is that it? maybe. he will hand her a pole. fish. ] I could stand a little interesting by now.

[factoring]

The caves are a different district.

[ She'll attach some bait to a line and cast. It's a smooth enough motion for somebody who really doesn't do this, but it doesn't go that far. ]

What do you want to see? A translucent fish or some kind of mutant?

[westedge]

You have me there. [ he follows suit, even if his cast goes a little farther out, like he has done this a few times. ]

While I would normally say mutant because it sounds kind of funny...a translucent one would be kinda crazy, too. I bet it'd almost look both cool and gross at the same time.

[factoring]

[She'll just take a seat and wait for the line to... get a tug? (Is that how fishing works?)]

You'd see all the organs and anatomy within the fish. There's nothing stopping these fish to be mutants and translucent.

[westedge]

[ they can sit and wait to see if fish are real... ]

Not that I've ever been anxious to study the anatomy of a fish, but...I don't know. If we're here, we may as well experience everything there is to offer now. When else will we get a chance?

[ especially when you could just as easily die in a few days? ]

[factoring]

[Looks at the Yuzuriha, ww, haru top level. They're too real.]

A good way of looking at it. There's only ever so much time, so it's best to use it the best way you can.

[westedge]

Yeah. It's...I think that was a lesson I learned some time ago, and I've kind of forgotten. Being here reminded me again. Especially when we know there's maybe only a few more weeks left.

[factoring]

[ It's one of those things that she feels like she's always been aware of. Time is limited, in the game, in real life, in any world at all. All those timers are ticking down. ]

I hope you're able to make the most of it.

[westedge]

Debatable. [ a little more subdued now, even in confidence week. ] ...I know time is running out. Maybe I won't even be here in a few days. Maybe one of my friends won't. We're at the point in this game where you have to wonder how much time should be dedicated to doing what you want with people you care about and how much time should be dedicated to trying to figure out an answe.r

[factoring]

[ We're far from her wheelhouse now. ]

I've always been the type of person who focuses on finding answers. I'm more of an investigator than anything else. [ Her job didn't leave that much room for that many relationships. ] Over these weeks, I've said everything I wanted to. I'll need to be satisfied with that.

[westedge]

[ looks at the way this tag ended. i was very sleepy apparently. ]

Nothing left unsaid at all, huh? [ he can at least admire a dedicated work ethic. ]

[factoring]

[ty when do you get to sleep with your work like that]

Yes. [There's a soft kind of smile.] I enjoy our chats. [Whatever happens at the end, she thinks she'll miss him.]

[westedge]

[ this callout was unnecessary :\ even if correct :\ ]

...[ there's a soft huff. ] That makes two of us. I feel like I never quite know what you're thinking, but that's on purpose for you. I don't know if I need to in order to feel like I can trust you anyway.

[ fwend... ]

[factoring]

[i worry for you]

Heehee. I suppose you could call it a bad habit, or something like enjoying a mysterious air. Regardless, I'm glad that trust goes both ways.

[westedge]

[ stoooop it's fiiiine. ]

Kinda feels like I'm always surrounded by women of mystery, so this isn't new. But...I'm glad, too. [ extremely glad, actually. ] It's not an easy thing to have or give people in a situation like this.

[factoring]

[is it...]

Always? It makes for an exciting life.

In a place like this, with these sorts of circumstances, trust is at a premium.

[westedge]

Always, always. [ haha. ] I guess you could call it exciting, but it can be equally frustrating if I'm honest. I can't disagree though. Giving away trust so readily in a place like this seems stupid. It's a hot commodity, and a rarity. I worry for the people who trust too easily.

[factoring]

Excitement and frustration are both a part of a healthy lifestyle. [Haha.]

It takes a while to earn my trust. [Just in general, not even in this game.] Those who allow themselves to trust everyone are likely to be hurt.

[westedge]

I feel like one should be a little more prevalent than the other, but I guess that's where motivation comes in, too.

[ but also, mood. ]

I agree with you. I think a degree of trust is necessary, but it should still something that you pick and choose. It should be a little harder to earn. Even here though...there're still some people who want to believe the best in others and keep everything positive. I don't know how they do it either.
