Cath: @Longram: I gotta pull my own weight too. Not just sit around feeling bad for one life I couldn't save.
(Beat.)
Cath: ...Or, er, like your stereotypical rich girl.
Black Hole: (@Cath) Things have been fine on my end. I've been talking with my fellow Choujin on the phone. I'm pretty sure they miss me. How's your day so far?
[Plotland]
Cath: Fairly unremarkable.
Six: -to Akhen- I'm out of hand puns.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."(@Longram) Akhen: Close enough, and those are made of enchanted stone. We transfer souls of loyal warriors into statues so they can continue guarding the king of all kings, but sooner or later they all lose the part that made them who they were in life.
(@Six) Akhen: I'd share a handful of those with you if I could. But it's not puns, but riddles that are my forte though. So the game has already become boring a while ago.
Andrew: @Cath "I'm grateful you can pull your own weight. I mean, first time I saw you, you look more like an exotic fortune teller out of a comic book than a rich girl."
@Akhen "So they act like drones, more or less?"
[Plotland]
Cath: I look like an exotic fortune teller? I couldn't... Fortune tell out of a... I unno.
(@Longram) Akhen: Eventually they degrade to that state. Creatures like those are unsuited for life among fellahin, so multiple contradictions eventually make their will and sense of self degrade into dust. Afterwards they're just walking monuments of glyph-inscribed stone forced to labor and guard at their masters' whims, so we put them out of their misery before they reach that condition.
Andrew: @Cath "Still certainly grabbed my attention."
@Akhen "So old tech that needs some kinks to work out, correct?"
[Plotland]
Cath: Well, you caught mine too. When you awkwardly tripped over yourself asking me on a date for the first time. :P
Andrew: "What can I say...I'm pretty much a socially awkward nerd behind this gruffy exterior." :P
[Plotland]
Cath: Maybe not as awkward as one or two of my previous exes.
Black Hole: (@Cath) Oh well. What do you think of our mission so far?
[Plotland]
Cath: Could have gone worse. Maybe flooded the entire apartment.
Andrew: "Heh, wish I could see that."
@Cath "Your exes?"
"...Um, sorry, shouldn't brought that up."
Black Hole: (@Cath) Yeah. Things could've been worse. Still, I learned something from that incident. Duct tape isn't always the "miracle" fixer-upper around the house.
[Plotland]
Cath: @Andrew: No, no, it's fine! I brought it up. I was just commenting you're not that awkward. Still awkward, but not terribly awkward. @Black Hole: Duct Tape gets pretty useless when wet, in my experience. And that one plumber's experience.
Andrew: @Cath "Well, that made me fell better, I guess." >.>
Black Hole: (@Cath) Indeed. We need to invent something that's like duct tape, but doesn't falter under the pressure of water.
[Plotland]
Cath: @Black Hole: That would be pretty neat. @Andrew: ...Er, sorry.
Andrew: "It's fine."
[Plotland]
Cath: Man, with how poorly worded and unintentionally insulting a lot of that was, no wonder I'm such a bad catch.

Black Hole: (@Cath) Thanks. When we're done with this mission, I want to do some research and make that possible.
[Plotland]
Cath: @Black Hole: Good luck. :)
Andrew: @Akhen "Hmm, do you encounter machines that are purely metal and circuits in your life before?"
@Cath "Nothing exciting on my end and I do worry about you out in the field."
