[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
Levity nods thoughtfully, seemingly satisfied with the answer.]
I see. I believe that as long as you both remember that there is no need for that forced animosity, you should be fine. And for my part... I'll do my best to stay out of your relationship too, then.
[After a moment, though, he looks thoughtful again.]
But... I will admit that something feels a little off to me. He is different from the man we knew on WILD CITY. You were right to say that he seems less certain of himself, and... in the little time I've spoken with him, there was the feeling I got that he was looking to determine a place for himself. A way to act, perhaps, a... role to fulfill. Seeking a sense of belonging, much as I was at the start. As I still do.
[He crosses his legs, staring at the sand.]
That was why I did not think he was an audition. It's hard to properly quantify and describe, of course, merely a gut feeling. But I do wonder if this version of him did not live through a different past. These things can happen here, don't they?
The one on Wild City did not share my same history. I doubt this one would be the same. This one might simply be wayward in a different manner.
But truthfully, I am less worried about that and more worried about making him comfortable as he can be here. And thus you see why I have turned to you for assistance.
... Well, with any luck he doesn't share my pacifist views, so hopefully it will already be easier on him to be here. But don't worry, I'll do my best to support him. But make sure to check in at times as well.
[He smiles a little.]
You know, when I introduced myself to him he chose to call me Hythlodaeus over Levity. The first person to do so, apart from you and Lahabrea, of course.

Re: Day 420

[He thinks about it for a moment.]
Why do you think he decided that?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-01 03:36 am (UTC)Mm, I'm not certain. But if we are from the same world, would it not make sense for him to be drawn to the name, even if instinctively?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-01 03:37 am (UTC)But ever were they large of heart. Accepting.

Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-02 04:57 am (UTC)If you don't specify which fraction, I'll assume you mean at the very least half the time. Or three fourths of the time.
Re: Day 420

Re: Day 420

Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-05 09:54 am (UTC)And what would you do with this newfound power besides bury your friend in the sand?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-05 10:04 am (UTC)Who said I would do anything with it? Maybe I would just have it. You know I like knowing things for the sake of knowing them.
[A gossip, in other words.]
Re: Day 420

Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-08 05:48 am (UTC)Yes, and?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-08 06:04 am (UTC)Nothing. Just a comment on your social graces.
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-08 06:43 am (UTC)I'm a pillar of society, I know.
Re: Day 420

Stop that.
[He's not really bothered though. It is the principal!]
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-08 09:27 am (UTC)[He pauses with his next sandful.]
Aww, you're dissatisfied with my work again?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-12-08 09:39 am (UTC)What are you trying to make anyway?
