Twenty-third Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

There is a lot to write.

I will start with the serious first. There are many gone from the Sphere. Six. Alice. Free. Alex. Angelfish. Alex. Bunraku. Butterfly. Light. Law. Walk. Sage. Snap. Another Alex. And Stardust. The ones that were already announced are Crow, and Burn, and Code. I am sorry.

I am stepping down from Scavenging, Bridge. I think I want to spend more time with the people that are precious to me. Thank you for being a good boss.

Cara? Is the weapons stall able to repair a belt? I found it a couple of weeks back and have not had time to come by and get it fixed.

Does anyone know about the tickets that showed up before? I was given one in the parade, and do not know what to do with it, or where to take it.

Lotus, Bell. If you are both off tonight, we should have dinner together. I will help, but I will not insist on doing most of the work.

QL--It is short and easy to remember

[Youth talked to so many that he found out fairly quickly who was fun to talk to and who was not. He smiles at Genius' first question.]

I do not know if people like them or not, but you said I liked everyone. Aurora is gone. Lin is the person who only talks to Castor and Bastet.

[Glancing over at Genius, Youth saw that his friend was uncomfortable. Not sure what was the problem, he gave Genius a pat on the shoulder.]

It showed up in the parade. You did not go?

QL--I'm impressed it exists at all

I don't consider that guy a person. More like a dumb troll. ...Is Lin the one who acts like a Bastet stalker? That guy needs to cool it, he makes the rest of us look bad.

[It wasn't that he couldn't go into crowds. He just felt uncomfortable. Closed in, like he can't escape. They're loud and, ever since the Zombie attack, unpredictable. He just preferred to deal with people one on one. It was why he wasn't promoted to a senior medic like most of the other interns but was instead made a lab tech. It was a good call on his boss' account, even though Genius was totally capable of the other job. It just made him uncomfortable. He didn't WANT to listen to bitch about the way they accidentally cut their hand while cooking. It was so..pedantic. Boring. Normal people stuff. Not worth his time and effort. Lab work on the other hand...was ok also boring but at least there were no people involved AND he got to play with chemicals. Can't go wrong with that.]

I saw it, I avoided it. I don't know WHY people are so trusting of these CPA folks. I mean talk about shady. They speak in code, they only show up with something insane happens. I mean we think they're on our side but...who knows.

QL--He can't like everyone, even though he tries?

[There's a bit of a pause as Youth considers admitting what he knew, and then he gives in.]

I think he might be from my world. The symbol he has drawn and his talk of Jashin is very familiar in a very bad way. [Then he blinks.] Oh! You were talking about Castor? He is not that bad. He is just lonely. But yes, Lin stalks Bastet. And I think Lin is a she, though I am not sure. I have never seen... her or him.

[Youth would be strong for them both, then, and keep Genius safe. And radiate enough confidence for both of them.]

I do not trust them. But They know more than we do, so talking to them could be helpful.
