Tell me, network, what do you think of when I say "law"? Alternatively, how do you view the law here?

Also, hello, I'm back. Actually, I have been back for a few days but upon my return I discovered I had far more homework than I remember having. Isn't that always the worst?

Metricog was quite interesting, wasn't it? I would like to start a petition that all City Hall members begin carrying bandaids on their person. Please think of the young girls who may or may not skin their knees in alternate universes in the future.

Thank you.

Voice; Private to Kanaya
Kanaya -- are you free tonight? There was something I wanted to give a few days ago, but naturally what with my being away and coming back, I've had some ... work matters to catch up with and also far more homework than should be lawfully allowed.

You must have developed some interesating browsing habits.

[ should she be worried? or should she be drunk? is there a difference? ]

action;

[nitidus]

Oh, you have no idea.

[there is 0 difference. ]

action;

[glowsferatu]

Then why not enlighten me?

[ drunk and worried, their ultimate fate. ]

[nitidus]

A girl's browser history is more personal than even a diary.

[WHAT IF KANAYA FINDS HER SASSY BLOG. ]

[ well it isn't like she did a very thorough job of disguising it. ]

Does a diary become even more personal when you don't even bother keeping one, then?

Re: action;

[nitidus]

[it's true. ]

How do you know I don't keep one?

action;

[glowsferatu]

[ who else would care about the state of edward nygma's band-aid supply? ]

I wasn't talking about yours. I mean that I don't really know the rules of diaries. Not by experience, at the least.

action;

[nitidus]

[it's an important issue. ]

You note down your innermost thoughts.

action;

[glowsferatu]

I know that, it's the obvious definition of the undertaking! It's the nuances, particulars, that I haven't bothered learning.

If it's personal, doesn't writing it serve to externalize it, separating it from the person who originated those thoughts? Doesn't it open the door to having their privacy compromised?

action;

[nitidus]

Well yes. But people shouldn't read someone's else's diary. It is poor social etiquette.

action;

[glowsferatu]

Some authors publish their diaries and letters.

action;

[nitidus]

They are usually seeking validation.

action;

[glowsferatu]

Or maybe they just think it's something others will be interested in reading! I know I'd certainly find your thoughts interesting.

action;

[nitidus]

Of course you would. My innermost thoughts are incredibly interesting and riveting.

[ she picks up the bottle again and holds it in her lap, looking it over as she sips her drink. ]

Not to mention utterly elusive. The majority of the time I really have no idea what to expect.

[nitidus]

I am enigmatic, Kanaya. It is to keep you on your toes.

[She takes a gulp. Alcohol still burns on the first drink -- she is still no Roxy Lalonde. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ the gold flakes and carbonation probably don't help much, either. ]

Well, it certainly manages that. I don't think I've ever quite been able to keep up with you, you know.

action;

[nitidus]

You're doing a good job right now.

action;

[glowsferatu]

Am I? Because I'm not so convinced of that myself.

I'm not...entirely sure whether I'm expecting too much of this or not, to be perfectly honest.

action;

[nitidus]

What are you expecting?

action;

[glowsferatu]

I don't know... [ who's blushing now? ] It's probably stupid anyway.

action;

[nitidus]

[oh........................... boy................]

Englighten me.

action;

[glowsferatu]

It's fine. Don't worry about it, everything's fine. I mean it.

[ admitting to feeling awful is hard enough, but admitting to feeling something actually positive? girl, that's downright impossible. ]

action;

[nitidus]

Oh -- well. I'm glad?

action;

[glowsferatu]

I think we worry too much about that, really, though I do try to be honest about it. [ she bends down to take off her shoes before pulling her legs up on the bed and turning to face rose. ] And I'd hope you'd extend me the same courtesy.

So, tell me, how have you been lately? And I mean really. None of the barriers, none of the enigmas. I want a genuine glimpse into the processes that power Rose Lalonde.
