because there's a slight prospect of a cast

[unkindnessof]

I couldn't care less about how you choose to represent me in these icons.

They're relatively unimportant. This is a written hobby, isn't it? Stop fussing. It gets nothing done.

What's important is where you intend to send me, if you're going to do it at all. Do as you will, but make up your mind.

...If nothing else, decide whether you want to apply somewhere or not in the first place. You were considering that tower of spirits because of both the people you already know there and friends thinking of applying, weren't you?

[...]

...I wouldn't mind seeing the others.

While it is a writing-based activity, I have observed that the visual aspect is also an important part. A decent selection of expressions is useful so there is no confusion. You do not want to be misunderstood.

... I would also be pleased to see you there.

[Hello Eve, he can shelve his silly knee-jerk dislike of Nasods for simple conversation, right, they travel together after all. . .]

Mmm... Miscommunication is dangerous, yes. ...Still. One should try harder to make themselves clear if they know it's a problem. If resources are limited, you should do the best you can with what you have.

But she's worrying about visual appeal, not a lack of expressions. [absolutely unimpressed]

I'm a bit surprised, though. We... don't exactly have the best relations in the group. Wouldn't you prefer the company of one of our other companions?

[spearsurfing]

There is nothing wrong with wanting visual appeal. When given such options, there is no reason not to take the best choice available.

You are a reliable ally, I see no reason to reject your company. It is not as if I'm choosing between you and another. Also, because Rena will be there, I believe she would be glad to have you around.

[unkindnessof]

When given the option... if given the option. Our canon's fandom isn't exactly the biggest. Prioritizing form over function is foolish.

... Fair enough. I understand it's reassuring to have comrades about that can be trusted to have your back. And as far as Rena goes... she's strong. She can handle herself perfectly well, with or without us.

[kuudere bastard. kuudere bastard with issues.]

[swiftkicks]

It doesn't matter how you look, as long I get to see you~ Though of course, it'll be the icing on the cake.

...well, it would be true if my mundane got off his butt and started actually working on getting me to the tower. His ridiculous level of procrastination, I swear. [as exasperated as a mother sighing at her kid could be] Doesn't help that he's always worrying about being too rusty at this.

[unkindnessof]

[hrjksdlgjsgdl are you okay there Raven it was a compliment don't choke now]

--Something along those lines, maybe... But try telling her that. [just. goooonnna sidestep that. how does flirting work...]

Many of them seem similar in that regard, really. At least, from what I've been able to observe... As I understand it, the entire reason this community exists is for us to bring matters like these to their attention, after all.

[swiftkicks]

[aww raven you're no fun]

...fair point. They're usually quite stubborn, aren't they? Even with us encouraging them- or indeed, yelling at them, at times.

[unkindnessof]

[what are feelings, what is flirting, he has the romantic sense of a dead brick.]

Stubborn, or overly hesitant.

... has it come to that for you, yet? [yelling. He means the yelling.]

[swiftkicks]

[goddamnit raven rena will get through the barrier, count on it]

Ah, I promised myself I wouldn't get mad like last time, so no, not as of yet. [totally not addressing the point that she did since then. Several times at Elsword and Co. Mostly Elsword. And Aisha.]

Though I'm almost at the verge of blowing my top at him. Mostly because he just looks at how empty it is, get demotivated and just turn on one of his video games or whatever.

[unkindnessof]

... yet. [that just means it's inevitably going to end up happening, sooner or later. these kids. they should be paid for chaperoning those two. it's practically a full time job.]

... the deadline's coming up soon, isn't it. [that's supposed to be a question, but he says it so flatly...] Maybe you should. If just reminding him isn't working.

He sounds like he needs some sort of motivation. [and an angry Rena is pretty scary.]

[swiftkicks]

He's got half a day left, I think. So yes, deadline approaching soon. But you know, he'll pull through. [And if he just wastes the day, there's plenty of time for yelling being motivational.]

1/2

[unkindnessof]

... If you say so, then.

[unkindnessof]

And if it turns out you were being too optimistic, consider negative reinforcement. [by way of yelling being motivational, and stopping only when, you know, the mun gets his ass in gear.]

[pikachung]

... at least yours has actually made icons for you already...

[unkindnessof]

It did take a good amount of reminders to get her to this point.

[pikachung]

So are you really going to the Tower too?

[unkindnessof]

I might. It's the most likely option right now, at least.

Not immediately, though.

[pikachung]

Not immediately?

Next month perhaps?

[unkindnessof]

That's the most likely scenario. Maybe synced with Eve. It depends.

...She was very tempted to rush recklessly into it at first, though. Strange, considering how... nervous she's been otherwise. [his distaste, it is audible.]

... you'll be all right for a month or so, I hope?

[pikachung]

Hm... now mine is thinking of maybe apping me next month as well since she does have 2 other apps she's supposed to be writing...

[unkindnessof]

That's... quite a lot of work your mun's given herself.

[pikachung]

There are quite a number of us sharing this headspace here...

[unkindnessof]

... Sounds like it'd be rather crowded and noisy. Troublesome. [a pain in the ass more like.]

[pikachung]

Sometimes but I don't mind. Most of the people in here are really nice!

[unkindnessof]

Well. I'm glad you seem to be in good company, then. Strength in numbers, and such.

...Still, better not to let your guard down.
