/face in hands forever

[penumbrae]

And just what do we have here? A mundane, you say? How amusing.

However, I should warn you I'm not quite like any of the others floating around in your pretty little head, you see; I am much tougher, and not nearly as easily tamed. Do you honestly think you have what it takes to bring me out?

[...]

Oh, well. If anything, this should prove to be rather entertaining.

Let's go.

[maidenly]

Hmm, I guess so... is it really that worrying, then?

[penumbrae]

[Hairflip.] It could be better or worse, depending on whether she sends you to one of those games or not. That is when you should start worrying.

[maidenly]

Technically I'm already in one, but it hasn't started yet. It doesn't seem all that bad, really.

[penumbrae]

How can you tell, if it hasn't started yet?

[maidenly]

[because she has magic foresight powers because she's Zelda—I mean]

Oh, I meant more... being "played" by my mun. These "test drive threads" have given me a good impression.

[penumbrae]

[... why does she always get stuck with the cheaters.]

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. From what I have noticed, these mundanes tend to get more carried away when in a pack.

[maidenly]

What do you mean, a pack?

[penumbrae]

They're better hunters when in a group, and we are their prey.

[maidenly]

That's a pretty morbid way of thinking about it.

[penumbrae]

You call it morbid, I call it realistic. It could be just me, though. [She is a Dark-type user, after all.]

[maidenly]

Maybe we'll just have to agree to disagree on the subject.

[penumbrae]

Perhaps. But I do appreciate someone who can speak their mind.

[maidenly]

I do, too. Whether you agree with them or not, it's always nice to hear what other people have to say. As long as you don't antagonize them, of course—but I can tell you're not that kind of person.

[penumbrae]

Oh, there you go being too optimistic again. [She's mostly just teasing her now; she does know how to respect different opinions, after all.]

[maidenly]

Oh? Am I?

[penumbrae]

Making such assumptions about someone you barely know... I'd say that's pretty optimistic, isn't it?

[maidenly]

Hmm... I guess you could say that.

But would you want to be thought of as, well, antagonistic?

[penumbrae]

And why do we need to go to either extremes? I'd rather be thought of as someone you're not fully acquainted with, simple as that.

[maidenly]

Well, I was just saying, since that's the example I used earlier. But this is a good compromise, I think.

[penumbrae]

Making assumptions about people you barely know, whether good or bad, may end up leading to disappointment later on. This works best for everyone involved, I'd say.

[maidenly]

Mm... I can concede on that.

[penumbrae]

My type of girl, then.

[maidenly]

Oh? I'm glad to have made that distinction.
