「浅野 凜」 Asano Rin

[voice]

I think... I should, after all, issue an apology, for the behaviour of my... of me a few days ago. I can't really deny that that was part of me, can I? But here's the thing, and this goes especially to those who might agonize over this: flaws make only half a person.

And that's why I think it's okay.

For a general cheer-up, I've prepared some pastries. Come get them at the square if you want, there's enough!



[action]

[It's right back to the start, it seems: Rin is sitting on a bench on the square, a small table with several artfully arranged pastry pyramids next to her. On her lap is the laptop Umi gave her as a Christmas present. In fact, she's wearing the kimono and necklace she was given for Christmas, too. She's idly playing with the necklace as she clicks around on the laptop, still learning how to operate it, so things go slowly. A little too slowly for her liking, because intends to use it today. Umi's note had said that maybe this thing would actually keep her notes, and this type of curse is what will put that to the test.

Thinking back to the network entry she had posted, she dearly hopes it was enough. She made an effort to display confidence and nonchalance, but within her, doubts still exist. Having your bad side develop a will of its own and act separately from you while you were locked in a spooky mirror version of the City is a pretty scary thing. But she sets her lips and tells herself to not let it get to her. She can deal, she's beyond letting scary things define her.

Right?

Her gaze goes to the pastries on the table. That tactic worked well enough last time she used it, so hopefully it will do the same now. Not that she doesn't also genuinely want to cheer up her friends with this, but she's aware of the double effect and entirely willing to use it to her advantage. Her research has, after all, been going stale for a while.]

Here's to hoping the best.

(OOC: As usual, anything goes! Fourth walling, canonmates, mockery: bring it.)

Warden elections, huh? So that's democracy in execution. Or at least a pretention thereof. We know they're humoring us, right? Right. Well, let them have their fun. I'd even vote, but given that I have only spoken to Nakamura-san on one occasion and never to Seiei-san, I don't think I can play the game right.

Also, the... graffiti just kept coming. Yesterday I saw them in the square. Really, is that all they can come up with? I can do better than that!

Now, for that, dear fellow citizens, and this is maybe not the best moment - but I'm tired of sitting around. I want to get something done. Anyone else feel the same way, per chance? No?

... anyway.

PATTERNS.

Tell me about them. Any and all. Of what, you ask? Of the City! In topics such as

- exits
- population
- deity appearances
- curses

What have you! If you can think of something, I want to know it. Not only numbers, also details. Whatever. I've been aimlessly theorizing around for a while now, but without some material to work with, I won't be getting anywhere, now will I? And before you tell me that the deities will see the big font - well, no way to make sure that they can't hear us when we talk face to face, right? They might watch us sleep and bathe, for all we know! And, really, like their little experimental subjects - or, alternately, sources of amusement - can do anything at all.

So. Do tell.

(OOC: Fire Monkey, lol. Basically, she'll be extra smartass and ambitious today. EDIT: Sorry guys for dropping tags. ;-; Got tired early and stuff.)
