... That's all I have to say about it, yes. What do you have to say?

[corona]

Um. Are questions acceptable?

[deputychief]

Certainly.

[corona]

Uh. Heh. Well - I know you like to talk, Partner, but usually there's... a point? To what you say? Why bring this up at all if you were going to squash the subject yourself in the end anyway?

[deputychief]

[JEALOUSY OBVIOUSLY ARE YOU BLIND WOMAN

--He pauses.]

Well, perhaps you're right. Let's get back to this student council, then.

[glistens]

[ Did he— No. No way. No, if he wanted to question dodge and subject change... surely he could've done a more adept job than that! He's him. This must be some kind of mistake. also the answer is yes

Maybe he misunderstood? ]

Um. Sorry, what about the student council?

[deputychief]

[you keep asking yourself questions with obvious explanations, rapunzel!]

Did you look at the questionnaire she offered for males?

[glistens]

Yes. I looked at everything when I opened the broadcast. Why?

[ ...they aren't obvious to her!! ]

[deputychief]

Why do you think the questions are so radically different?

[corona]

...I know why they're different. The president told me.

[deputychief]

Ah-- What did she say?

[corona]

........


[ HMPH ]

Watch it yourself! It's there. I can't do all your research for you.

[deputychief]

... Okay, if you're willing to hold on for ten minutes or so, I can do that. But I would like it if you'd save me the time.

[C'mon, Rapunzel, he's asking nicely!]

[glistens]

By saving nine?

[ see what she did. see it. ]

[deputychief]

[...

oh god he's weak to that wordplay attack too...

He smiles just a bit.]

Hit it on the head.

[corona]

Fine.

[ But only because he got the joke.

["**** huh... I - thought that was slang. A swear, I mean. I didn't know it was a verb."


****ing...


"Why not just say sex? That's completely misleading and - and - it doesn't make sense anyway!"


Oh, man.


"I... think about everything all the time but - thank you, heh...

If - we're allowed to recruit people, I'll be sending someone else your way. I think he'd really enjoy this."

i mean what

...At least it looks like she'll be learning this from someone who's not him. That can only be a good thing.]


I see. Well, I don't think I would take the accuracy of her statements entirely on faith, but I suppose I understand. I'll certainly speak with her.

[after preparing himself for like an hour.]

[glistens]

How do you mean? Which statements? There were a lot. [ And she's too distracted by something potentially missed to register his agreement there.

I mean please. As if Shino's going to teach her anything. ]

the keywords are on the other foot now!

[deputychief]

[oh boy.

c'mon shino, don't let him down.]


Well. As you know, that isn't all that guys actually think about. Those questions will probably not be answered honestly by many. That word can be used in other ways as well,--[hastily] which a good dictionary will inform you about better than I can. And... may I ask why it was that you thought this would interest me so?

o no don't you start being intelligent

[glistens]

I told you— [ just has hasty ] You should make friends. Or if - even if you don't make friends! You need to have fun. Right? There aren't enough festivals for me to take you to one every day...

i AM i am simmeazing!

[deputychief]

Ah, well... I think I have friends [acquaintances, colleagues, whatever] and I certainly think I have fun, and I don't know that this will truly be the most conducive to the further pursuit of that goal, but - after all, you'll be there, I suppose, and it could potentially be [--useful--] fun, yes.

NO NOT ALLOWED THAT IS OFF <S>SIMMITS</S> LIMITS

[glistens]

You wouldn't say think if it were true...

Didn't you have these at your school? I... don't actually know what it's called but-- Don't you miss it? Doing something with for no reason? With... no goal attached to it, I mean? When was the last time you had fun like that? I've never done it so you probably haven't either.

[ There's another question she's itching to ask but she'll hold her tongue for the time being. ]

wow way to be simmpathetic

[deputychief]

[guilty as charged.]

No goal whatsoever, except to have fun?

[Pause....]

Well, I don't think "student council" really qualifies... especially if you're not the student council president. [Or at least the power behind the throne.] But all right - point taken. [He already said he was in anyway!

Now you can ask your question.]
