[So it's been... a couple days. She hasn't been in his respiteblock again (though of course outside it, and has seen to it that the wall was fixed with her money). They haven't really been in contact all this time notes aside. So... when this comes along... Welp.]

Do You Think Youre Going To Contact This Individual

[caligulas_aquarium]

some serious misleadins goin on here

[speakveryclearly]

Ammending Instances Of Misleading Is Your Jurisdiction Isnt It

[...yeah, there's a hint of the cynical there.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

no but pointin out wwhen people are bein fuckin stupid ovver magic is
wwe got so feww people in their right mind able to realize doubtin its existence AINT ridiculous an these sorta morons drivve the number dowwn wwith each passin second

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah
Whod Deny That Theyre Performing A Specialized Form Of Science
Is It Possible For Someone To Be So Delusional

[caligulas_aquarium]

rox for one
i mean if she thinks its magic she thinks its magic but im still gonna call bullshit on that to her face if i gotta

[speakveryclearly]

Thats Just
Rather Funny
Youd Been Doing Pretty Much The Opposite Not So Long Ago
Whats The Saying
In Sopore Veritas

[caligulas_aquarium]

[If this were video she'd see a little angry eyetwitch goin' on cause DONT YOU DARE MARYAM]

you honestly think anythin i said wwhile under the effects a that shit is wworth anythin
please
i didnt knoww wwhat i wwas sayin
an noww that im in my right state a mind again im back to bein able to realize magics nothin more than a load of nonsense

[speakveryclearly]

In That Case
Now That Youre Sober
Does That Mean You Comprehend The Precise Scientific Principles Behind Your Weapon

[caligulas_aquarium]

[uh]

yes

[speakveryclearly]

Really
What Are They
Physics
Chemistry

[caligulas_aquarium]

does it evven matter
it does wwhat it has to so wwhats the big deal
besides wwhy the sudden interest anywway

[speakveryclearly]

If It Works How It Works How Do You Know Its Not Magic
Science Is Defined By Being A Logical Explanation

Ive Just Been Wondering
Now That I Know
She Made It For You

[caligulas_aquarium]

oh
look
maybe the more in depth wworkings of the thing are a bit beyond me i mean in all honesty it aint like wwe made it TOGETHER or somethin
she alchemized it i wwas just sorta there wwhen she did
but trust me wwhen i say it aint magic
i mean howw COULD it be magic anywway wwhen magic ISNT EVVEN REAL
plus this aint evven the empiricists wwand anywway that shitty thing stopped wworkin
the initiativve gavve me this one an wwhatre the chances of there bein twwo wwands out there exact same in function an methods an all that in twwo separate univverses
ill tell you howw many none a wwhich are magical thats howw many
duplicate science wwands on the other hand is exactly somethin i am wwillin to believve
i mean if youre sayin the one they gavve me is magic too then wwhat next are you goin to start believvin in the possibility these communication devvices are magic too
cause the only sorta people i evver seen makin those kinds a claims aint evven sure wwhat the fuck science is
an im PRETTY SURE you knoww

[speakveryclearly]

I Would Never Claim Our Communicators Are Magical
Because I Know How They Work
You Press A Button And They Turn On
And The Battery Is Drained As It Continues To Operate

Where Does The White Fire Come From
That Is All I Am Asking
Because "Thin Air" Is Not An Empiricists Answer

[caligulas_aquarium]

i didnt SAY thin air did i
god
look ok fine i DONT KNOWW there are you happy noww
all i did wwas ask her to teach me howwevver the fuck it wwas lalonde senior wwas doin wwhatevver it wwas she wwas able to do wwhich she wwouldnt tell me
her secrets if you wwill
so she made me the fuckin wwand
an for wwhatevver reason they havve managed to duplicate perfectly the wway in wwhich my old one wworked wwith the one they gavve me
i dont knoww HOWW but they DID
thats all i knoww noww wwill you stop grillin me for all this information i mean seriously its been frustratin as fuck

[speakveryclearly]

Well I Know For A Fact Rose Lalonde Employed Dark Magics And No Sciences Black Or White Of Any Kind
But Whatever
Shes Not Here
Theres No Reason To Talk About Her

[caligulas_aquarium]

ok look you dont gotta make such a point out of avvoidin the subject ivve been so done wwith lalonde senior for howwevver long an age its been since i spoke to her last
i got intimate association wwith the better half of the lalonde ectobiological genetic line an quite frankly im happy enough wwith that
actually speakin of wwhich i need you to do somethin for me

[speakveryclearly]

Really
The Last Part
Not Any Of The Others

[IS SHE DREAMING... NOPE DRESS ISN'T GOLD... okay... just... chill, he probably just wants her to do something and doesn't need her... or... d o e s he...]

[caligulas_aquarium]

basically some masked guy wwas talkin a holdin some sorta ball wwhere evveryones gotta get dressed up fancy like wwith masks an shit an i dont knoww dancin an wwhat else
to be honest it sounds completely fuckin awwful
but despite his claims that goin alone is perfectly fine goin alone wwould be embarrassin i mean wwho the fuck turns up at some sorta social gatherin like that by themselvves
its just completely sad an honestly says a lot about someone if they do right
right

so thats wwhy ivve decided to go an bring rox so she dont go by herself
also cause i guess i sorta should anywway

[Yeah that's his excuse, w/e]

anywway considerin i cant exactly turn up in wwhat i usually wwear evveryday i guess im gonna need somethin a bit more elaborate an wwhat havve you attire wwise for this kinda thing
wwhich i dont havve
an wwill probably need
if youre not gonna do it i can just ask around but i figure it savves time if i just ask wwhile youre here an all

[speakveryclearly]

[Okay that's a long text and also she needs a minute

She's making him an outfit for a gathering where costumes are mandatory and everything is...

She shouldn't put too much trust into this. She should sketch something up a little. It's about four times her normal response time.]

In My Experience Such An Event Should Be As You Predict Absolutely Awful
But I Could Do It
If You Want

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwell i wwouldnt be askin if i didnt wwould i

[That's "if I didn't want the outfit", not "if I didn't want you to do it specifically" though, sorry Kanaya.]

so i guess a suit or somethin
wwhatevver its more your thing anywway so you probably knoww

[speakveryclearly]

[..............JUST LET HER PRETEND FOR A LITTLE WHILE WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP ISN'T ENOUGH]

I Have Some Ideas
Do You Have Any About What Roxy Will Be Wearing
Are You Interested In Matching

[caligulas_aquarium]

uh
i didnt think of askin since i didnt really givve a shit
should i
or
should wwe match

[speakveryclearly]

It Would Be In Your Best Interests
Though Now That Were Discussing This Im Finding It Increasingly Probable Shes Going To Approach Me For An Outfit Anyway
Maybe Ill Ask Her

[She is.]
