You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!





Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

I like this one--

[ She holds up a slinky black cat who just dangles from her hands with fur so dark and eyes so bright and green that it's just a pair of green eyes in a whole bunch of blackness. The cat looks so unamused, but puts up with it. ]

Isn't he cute??

[gravkitty]

Oh...he's like a little void! Aren't you scary!

[She sits up a little to get a bit of petting in. A little like Dusty, if Dusty didn't have any stars in his coat and wasn't translucent...]

Is it because of his eyes?

[singurarity]

His eyes and the contrast with his fur! And he's so soft!!

[ And he'll start purring when Kat pets him, too. ]

[gravkitty]

So soft! [Kat repeats. So, so soft... she's getting in all of the pets she can now.]

Does he remind you of anything special?

[singurarity]

There was a stray cat I used to run into after school... so I think that. It just makes me feel sorta nostalgic.

[gravkitty]

That's so cute!

[(I wonder if she actually really misses school...)

Kat realizes that she hasn't heard Ritsuka talk much about things like this - the normal kid stuff that they were just finding Ann refreshing for struggling to deal with handling.]

Do you think you'll go back to school? When you're done with everything else?

[singurarity]

... I don't know. Honestly, I'm not sure when I'll be done, but I'm already at the age where I should have graduated by now.

[ She does miss those days, though. ]

[gravkitty]

[That's right... Ritsuka is a couple of years older than most of them. Hmmm... She stretches out again, hands reaching up and out for more cat.]

There are other kinds of school, aren't there? [Like, actually, she's really asking, because she thinks there must be other ways for people to continue learning even after they've "grown out" of regular schooling.] But only if you want to, of course! ... School sure seems like it would be a lot of work.

[singurarity]

Oh, yeah, there are colleges and universities. I think as long as you're an adult and have the credentials and the... money... [ well ]

You could still take courses. Maybe I can look into it.

[ When the world exists. Again. ]

I think there's an important social aspect to school life too, though!
