on possibly apping to hollyheights

[consulting]

This is the worst horror game you've elected to send me too. Be reasonable.

Look at them. All that peace and domesticity.

It's hateful.

What's the harm of a little peace and quiet?

[consulting]

It harms everything. Peace and quiet is a primary source of stagnation, of boredom. I need problems, I need work. Brilliance does not shine when it is encapsulated by white picket fences and cocktail parties.

[exaltedshepard]

I'm sensing that getting a hobby isn't going to cut it in a place like that.

[You always sense things that never work as planned, Shepard. :|]

[consulting]

My last hobby ended in a cocaine problem.

[ shepard nooooo. asdjaskda. ]

[exaltedshepard]

How the hell did it go in that direction?

[Just the way she is, sadly. Comes with the territory of extremely empathetic commanders. :|]

[consulting]

A numerous compounding of reasons mostly caused by a blatantly inability to know when to stop. Why are you inquiring?

[ Concern? We've only just met really - he thinks. ]

[exaltedshepard]

[Yeah, and she's already getting a little over her head -- at least she realizes it. >_>]

You brought it up. If it's as personal as it sounds, you can leave it at that. [What he's likely still got in his head, she leaves unsaid--she's very much aware that she isn't talking to her crew, or anyone else she's familiar with.]

Wrong icon asjdkas

[consulting]

You inquired about hobbies I saw no reason to lie.

[ or have a filter. w/e. same difference. ]

Why would it be personal?

[exaltedshepard]

Fair enough.

Probably beats where I'm going to be thrown to by a long shot, anyways.

[consulting]

Where do you think you're headed?

I'd trade.

[exaltedshepard]

Some village called Luceti. Not the best place to be taking shore leave, much less a vacation.

Think you're gonna get bored there, too, or get turned into the guinea pig for one of those experiments...whichever comes first.

[Making a bit of a face, more peeved at her mun than at him -- quite good reasons to be pissed at him, too, given what she'd just described. >_>]

[consulting]

The wings will prove an aesthetic contribution at the very least. Has your mundane thought of a pair for you?

[ his John goes there. He's familiar with Luceti. it's actually a pretty good game c: ]

Possibly. Boredom and I are well acquainted.

[exaltedshepard]

He's thinking of making them match my hair. Or my eyes. [Both options just feel tacky to her. And she doesn't exactly have the best fashion sense. lol, being stuck in the military for several years... >_>

Mun used to have someone else there, but wound up dropping after only a few months. Said muse and Shepard will be heading (back) there this July, though. XD]

Might not be the best idea to trade, then, unless you want to be dragged into something you're not meant to do. [Like, say, go to war, a more fitting place for this soldier.]

[womanwhobeatyou]

Bored, Mr. Holmes?

[consulting]

The setting is a definition of placid. Not yet.

Does my stimulation concern you?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Are you hoping it would?

[consulting]

Hope has a positive implication.

[womanwhobeatyou]

And that isn't a denial.

[consulting]

Neither is it a confirmation. I believe the term is redirection.

[womanwhobeatyou]

And one only redirects if one has something to hide, Mr. Holmes.

[consulting]

In theory, Miss Adler. You started the pattern of redirection.

[womanwhobeatyou]

And what deduction led you to that particular conclusion?
