Sixteenth Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

I went looking for Shoanji earlier and cannot seem to find him. [There's a small spot from the pen resting on the page.] I do not suppose that anyone has seen him? It has been some time since he has written.

Simon, if you have time, I would like to speak with you please!

Oh no. Don't tell me you have an apple paranoia too. Youth is bad enough!

[This is totally an ink splatter cause I'm too lazy to grab a gif]

You really have so much faith in someone you just met? You don't know me. I don't know me. That's the deal. Nobody knows anyone. Not fully, not ever.

Not paranoia, caution. A caustic tale.

[ She doodles along the edges of his ink splatter. ]

I know what I know what anyone knows. No one knows anyone, context or not. But we can't live in steel bubbles alone. View and be viewed.

I've never had an apple, but from what I understand nobody expects one until it's too late.

[he totally thinks she's talking about memory crystals by the way. After a moment he draws a stick figure waving at her.]

Some people don't want to be viewed and some people don't want to be known. What do you do then?

An Inquisition?

[ She draws another stick figure doing a handstand next to his. ]

Eyes blinking in the dark will be watching will blinking will be noticed. Fear responses says "no". Curiosity says "what". Knowledge says "something".

Which one do you listen to?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Nobody expects it.

[He draws a star.]

All three. If I think I can figure things out, is that curiosity or arrogance?

[He strikes that out after a minute.]

That's probably enough self ruminating for the day, Star-friend.

nogood Does it hurt?

[ She makes it a shooting star. ]

Ask the ones who got hurt along the way.

Fair is fair. Don't burn yourself with the microscope.

You should ask your brother. I've never experienced one.

[Why so cute Qi? Also lol spamming up Youth's entry with doodles]

Sometimes they don't remember.

That? Is creepy. I promise I'm being careful, mom. Gosh.

[He is in fact playing with a microscope all this week.]

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

I will.

[ Self-preservation instinct. Cute and crazy and powerful has a better chance of surviving than just the latter two. ]

When you forget how to ask, arrogance has outranked curiosity.

No twisted fingers.

[ And now she wants to ninja-in on him and see what he's up to. :P ]

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I see. I'll keep that in mind.

Promise. Not even a twisted sister from me.

[She's welcomed to spy :)]
