I've found myself with somewhat of a slow day today so I thought I'd take the opportunity to get a few of my questions answered.

Is there anything you particularly miss from your home? Or something that make it unique and different from any other place you've been? I doubt we'll get the chance to visit our homes for an extended period any time soon or else I'd just visit and see for myself. As it stands, I'll have to settle for the next best thing.

No need to reply if you're feeling shy but I really would appreciate any answers you're willing to give.

Oh, and before I forget. I received an image awhile back that I was unable to decipher on my own. If someone would be so kind as to explain the meaning behind it, I would be ever so grateful.

[ thanks ren, he still doesn't know wtf it means. ]

It's like you're asking if I *like* risking my life out there. I'm not as powerful as the others here, you know.

At least the kaiju attacks don't seem to happen as often, I'll give it that. Back at the Great Lake, I tried my best to survive no matter what. It... gets tiring sometimes, but there's nothing I could do.

[frostfist]

Some people do enjoy risking life and limb.

[ looks at childe ]

You never considered changing career paths again after that?

[wheft]

Well... I did land another job, but I can't talk much about it because of the contract. In fact, you're talking to my current boss right now.

[ hi, verg. ]

[frostfist]

[ ? what the fuck ]

Your boss is here?

[wheft]

Mhm. Vergilius. He's a Color Fixer, meaning that he is one of the strongest people in the City. He's also our guide.

[frostfist]

[ oh. that guy. ]

Is there a reason he looks like he permanently swallowed a lemon?

[wheft]

[ the way she laughed just now... ]

He's always been like that. Maybe there'snothing to smile about in his life. He's a Color, so he must've seen the worst of what our City has to offer.

I'd suggest not pissing him off, though. He's... frightening.

[frostfist]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ hopefully verg is not reading this thread where his looks were insulted unprovoked. ]

Are you speaking from personal experience, having seen him in action?

i forgot to mark the rest of this thread as private LMAO

[wheft]

[ so here's a bandaid for that, rip ]

Yes. Let's just say he gets physical if you really push a lot of his buttons. I was lucky I only got away with a verbal beatdown at the time.

[ she is not telling him about how verg manhandled her the first time he met here. he wouldn't get it. ]

i forgot about the private filter....my garbage memory

[frostfist]

So leave him alone, got it. Though he didn't seem so bad when I ran into him the other week. I didn't know he was your boss at the time though.

[ thankfully he did not say anything incriminating! ]

[wheft]

That's because you two barely know each other. Gotta keep up appearances and all that.

Anyway, we're getting sidetracked here. Point is, I'd rather ride an aquabus than have you visit the Great Lake. End of discussion.

[frostfist]

So I might get the chance to see his wilder side if I keep bothering him? Noted.

[ noted about the horrors of the great lake as well.... ]

[wheft]

Huh.

Not gonna lie, I do want to see that side of him. Just... not the homicidal kind.

[frostfist]

Sounds like you should find some way to get him drunk then. It seemed to work wonders for you.

[wheft]

That's... actually not a bad idea. I might bring it up to him.

Assuming that he won't ask for a kiss, that is. Even then, I probably wouldn't kiss my boss. That's kind of weird, even for me.

[ he's not that kind of guy, but this is the first time she brought the topic up since then. no use walking on eggshells on that one. ]

[frostfist]

Is he really that kind of guy?

[ That's so hard to imagine..... ]

Though I wouldn't have taken you for that kind of person either. Fair point. Guess I'll just have to come along and take one for the team so you won't be forced into kissing your boss.

[ Even if he would much rather kiss Ishmael. :/ ]

[wheft]

Please don't force yourself on my account either.

[ sorry verg.... she is laughing, though. ]

But it's the thought that counts. Thanks.
