probably forever homeless

[arrhythmic]

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but you do still have a couple routes to go before you really commit to where I'm coming from. I gotta say, it's... interesting, seeing how things could turn out for me in so many different ways. Lots of ups and downs, huh?

...Just avoid Kenji at all costs. I really don't want to deal with that in my future any more than I have to.

HTML makes me cry

[arrhythmic]

Oh, so...

[Man, she's hard to read. She's always going to be hard to read, isn't she?]

So you painted this guy.

[At least this is making sense.]

Did you give him multiple heads, or is his hair like... partitioned off?

[Triumphant smile! For once, he's pretty sure they're on the same level.]

Re: HTML makes me cry

One head. Every hairstyle.

['I don't often grin, but when I do, I do it in a bin and it's made of win. Stay random my friends.']

So exactly like the mural.

[He can just imagine it. Well, no, he isn't as capable of fantasizing about the bizarre as Rin, not quite yet, but he has a vague idea.]

I think I get it. Having a lot of fun over there?

[worldinagrain]

It's a good way to pass time.

People are kind there.

[She shrugs, her expression becoming flat.]

Except for the mad scientists. But they mostly just send us bad stories. And we make fun of them. I mentioned that.

[arrhythmic]

Mad scientists, huh.

[Stop thinking she'd fit right in, Hisao, it's rude.]

You did mention that. How bad are these stories, anyway?

I'll just leave this link here...

[worldinagrain]

"Manos: The Hands of Fate" bad.

Sometimes a little better. Often just that bad.

Oh dear.

[arrhythmic]

Wait, even I've heard of that movie. I thought things couldn't even get worse than that.

[Suddenly, feeling incredibly bad for Rin.]

Re: Oh dear.

[worldinagrain]

Critics have a hard job.

[arrhythmic]

They aren't working you guys to the bone, are they? That just doesn't sound fair.

[worldinagrain]

Movie sign once a week or so.

[She looks to the side, then straight back at you.]

Mostly we try keep everyone cheerful. Emi would be happy there.

[arrhythmic]

Well, if it's just one every week...

[Still sounds like a living hell, but Hisao's pretty sure Rin's made of stern stuff. Hell, maybe it even amuses her, she's got every other quirk imaginable.]

Ha, I bet. Movies to laugh at, people to cheer up, and you, that sounds great for her!
