Re: text FFFFFFFF xD

[neotitanium]

How did you even get this number, Izaya?

[way to be obvious, creep :|]

[knifedances]

[He intended as much~]

I'm a very resourceful person~ You didn't answer my question, though.

[neotitanium]

[hm...fine, she'll play]

Maybe. Maybe not. I doubt you're worth the effort.

[knifedances]

Ouch, that's mean. I would have thought I was quite the opposite, actually~

[neotitanium]

And now you have something to prove.

[knifedances]

I was texting to see whether you are interesting again, not to prove whether I am!

[Teasing, teasing]

[neotitanium]

[bitch, you are really annoying B|]

I interest myself well enough and I'm hard to please in that department.

[knifedances]

I think most people consider themselves to be interesting, however. It's best to have an outside party be the judge, in order to maintain objectivity.

[So he's been told :T]

[neotitanium]

Present your test of choice. Just don't be dull about it.

[knifedances]

It's simple enough, engage me in stimulating conversation. Last time you were almost monosyllabic. I was disappointed.

[neotitanium]

How fragile you are. Now I'm the one who's disappointed. Such a pity.

[knifedances]

Fragile? Explain, please. I could assume you're referring to my delicate skin or slender body, but given that you've yet to meet me in person, that would be an impossibility ♥

[neotitanium]

To be so easily disappointed display fortitude akin to glass. Ha! I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually some hideous life form. Such boasts. Compensating for something? Taking advantage of the fact that I've never seen you?

[knifedances]

Some hideous life form! Ah, you're being so cruel to me. But I am neither taking advantage of the fact you have never laid eyes on me nor compensating for anything. If I was boasting about my looks wouldn't it make more sense for me to wish to appear strong and masculine?

[neotitanium]

Not all males are conventional. And even then, I have no proof that you're even male.

[lmao send her a dick picture nooooo...]

[knifedances]

True enough. And you'll just have to take my word for it. Consider it a hint, if you will. This way perhaps you'll have a higher chance of identifying me if we happen to cross paths. We could make a game of it, a test of your deductive powers~

[Hahaha he would never do such a crass thing!]

[neotitanium]

Izaya Orihara. Male. Likely Japanese from the name you've given which I've cross-checked on the ship's roster. Residing in Room 3-28. Izaya's not a common name, you know. Really, I could find you if I wanted to. I just choose not to.

[he's a dick. got it. B|]

[knifedances]

Providing I gave you my own name and didn't borrow someone else's, of course~

[A mild little jibe at her expense, after all, didn't she do just that to him, the first time they met in person]

And yes, I'm aware that it's unusual. And I'll believe it when I see it, until then I'll choose to believe you are not quite up to the challenge.

[neotitanium]

Of course. What better way to win at a game than cheat? Believe what you will. You bore me.

[knifedances]

Cheating is just another way of taking the initiative. It's those who blindly follow the rules who are in the wrong~

I somehow doubt that. Besides, it's you who ended up boring me and you've still given me no reason to revise my opinion. Unfortunate really, when things started out so promising.

[neotitanium]

I never said I didn't advocate cheating. It's one of my favorite ways to win, actually.

Mutual boredom. Whatever shall we do?

[knifedances]

Duly noted~

Ah, who knows? Move on to something that's more of a challenge, perhaps. I hate to waste my time on those who show no promise, who seem so mired in the mundane pointlessness of their narrow, socially-prescribed lives.

[neotitanium]

What exactly is socially-prescribed here? Mundane pointlessness is actually in rather short supply. Not that I favor it. No, I prefer something a little more passionate and beautiful. This ship's no battlefield.

[knifedances]

Humans still labour under the same set of social and moral codes. The location may have changed, but the sentiment governing their lives has not. And the way that people conduct themselves can equally continue to be mundane and pointless even if their environment is not.

Something more passionate and beautiful? You have an extremely romanticised view of a battlefield, if that's the way you look at it.

[neotitanium]

You're forgetting that it's not just humans here.

Maybe that's how I see it. Maybe I'm playing Devil's advocate. Maybe I don't care at all. Odds are 3:1. How's that suit you? Do you think the dice are loaded?

[knifedances]

I'm not forgetting. It's just that the others hold no real interest for me. I'll admit to being mildly curious about them, but that's as far as it goes.

It's not the first time you've spoken of battles. It seems it's something you're accustomed to, if nothing else, and don't most humans come to miss the things they've become accustomed to?

[neotitanium]

How xenophobic.

We all have things we pine for and crave. Usually it's things that will do us harm. Hedonists take their pleasure where they can find it.

[knifedances]

Lol, hardly. I didn't say anything about being unduly fearful, merely indifferent.

You think most people crave for things that will do them harm? I'm not sure I agree. Though it's a different matter for hedonists, perhaps.

[neotitanium]

You may very well be downplaying it though.

You know what they say about too much of anything...

[knifedances]

From your perspective I suppose it's possible, but nonetheless untrue. I see no reason to be afraid.

I do, though I'm not sure I agree with that saying~

[neotitanium]

Pretend to be unafraid for long enough and you will be. I don't believe it though. I'll believe it when I see it.

Then disagree.

[knifedances]

Then you'll see it when you find me, if you're even capable of it.

I intend to.

[neotitanium]

Capable but uninterested. Let's leave that to chance. Now won't that be interesting?

[knifedances]

Ah, and still you fail to live up to my expectations. But that's okay, most people invariably do and I have come to expect it. To chance then~

[neotitanium]

[yeah, she's not answering that, eff you B|]
