Our avatars are in a room together

(Stops mid-sip of the deathshake, wearing a grody choco-mustache on her upper lip.)

What a beautiful name you have, Clarice! As for myself, I am Ryu Jae-gyeo–... or... Hm hm! In your western Anglophone countries, do remind me, the family name is the first one, or the given name...?

Rather far before that.... rather far before Plato!

That rather limits the pool of possibilities for your time and place.

At least, according to recorded history...

You look somewhat western.

The first thing I can think of is that you knew the Greeks somehow.

...Last name, I think. Family name's last.

...Ah! Then it is... Jae-gyeong Ryu. Hm. It sounds incorrect this way, very out of place, but... no matter! Call me whatever you wish, darling, I do not mind a bit! It is an honor and a pleasure to meet you.

(Beams again and licks off her milkshake-stache.)

Yeah... nice to meet you too, Ryu.

("Can't pronounce Korean when I'm this sleepy...")

Oh? Yes, I should think very much so...

-thinks for a moment-

The populist choice would be that you appeared in a work by Homer.

Not many would concede to Herodotus or know specific playwrights.

Very astute! Thus, you have narrowed it down considerably.

Making you either a member of Odysseus' crew, someone he encountered- or a member of either side of the Trojan War.

You speak as if you're a nobleman, or perhaps royalty- which limits you to either being one of the Greek Leaders.

Or a Trojan.

Mm~... So, do tell me, what is it that has deprived you of the vital sleep your lovely young body requires to maintain itself in a healthy homeostasis, darling dearest?

(fuckin gobbles a whole strawberry out of her milkshake)

-smirks- I suppose it would be too far-fetched a lie to claim that I rank amongst the gods?

Well, if you rank among them, you don't exist.

So yes.

Just had to give energy to a friend to save her life... No, not in that way.

-bursts into laughter-

Such certainty! Very good! Aha, very good indeed...

I'm certain with all things I say.

I'm a man of convictions. Something you don't often find these days...

-bristles slightly-

I can't deride you down to a specific individual though.

To be honest, anyone who was named seemed a fool to me. With only two exceptions, being Diomedes and Odysseus.

It was a foolish war to begin with anyway.

Is there any such thing as a clever war?

watching the Sleepless Suffering Girl and the Korean Bugfuck: Electric Boogaloo, almost sheepish

Very good point.

I suppose there's never really been a clever war...

Well, you have narrowed it down once more. I am Odysseus, or Diomedes.. or a fool.

Mm.

Again.

I would not know a way to narrow you down more to a single name.

Because you could easily be a fool.

Though, that is only a fool when it concerns Homer's account.

...Ah! You gave to her your Chi! Why, that was generous of you, darling, quite generous indeed.

(...the antennae wiggle... does she smell... a CHILD?!?!)

...Ah! A small little dearest! Would you like some of my beverage? I surely cannot finish it all myself.

"... okay."

Yeah, I...

(her attention's drifted...)

...I'll go make sure my tea's ready. Want some?

(is already groggily turning around to do just that)

(POOOOOUR and eugh it looks like black chocolate sludge with strawberries floating in it.)

There you are, my darling, one wholesome milkshake!

(Nods ecstatically at Clarice.)

Oh yes, if you please! For all the delightful components of my milkshake, it is notably low on caffeine.
