-Xenos is sitting in the kitchen, eating a pizza-

Kitchen (Number 108, "Aichi")

-108 is just sitting in the kitchen, looking over data he's gotten during his stay in this place.-

-It seems to just be logs about the various 'feelings' he has had, and an attempt to understand what they are and what they mean.-

-He acknowledges Xenos's presence, but doesn't say anything.-

Well your presence is acknowledged too, but unlike you I will say something.

I should start calling you the titanic, because you never break ice.

-oh dear, Xenos seems to be in Bored Asshole mode-

-...?-

"Was I supposed to speak?"

-He is genuinely confused... or as confused as he can express.-

-He has no idea if he was supposed to say something or not.-

-As for Xenos's latter comment.-

"I do not understand."

-That's... all he has to say in response to that.-

-108 is in his... uh, usual mode.-

-The 'seriously out of touch with everything' mode.-

Geez, you don't even learn history, do you?

The Titanic Was A Big Ass Boat, That Crashed Into An Iceberg And Sank.

That's the joke.

Because it didn't break the ice.

Although knowing you, you don't know that phrase either.

It's when you make the first move in a conversation, to break down the awkward silence between meeting new people, or meeting someone.

"Understood."

-So...-

"What should someone say to break the ice?"

-He wants to be able to break the ice in the future, since he's guessing that's something normal humans do.-

Things like, I dunno...

'How's the weather?'

'How are you?'

'What are you up to?'

'Do you want a cup of tea?'

'How is your day?'

Things like that. Small talk.

Talk that doesn't really mean anything.

Because the thing about life is that not everything has to mean anything.

That's the trick to being human, Ahxenite, whatever-

Understanding that not everything has a purpose. Or if you really want to give it a purpose, I guess it's just neat.

Or just nice to do.

How would you feel if someone asked you a question to know how your day's going?

Sure, there might not be any deeper meaning, or a meaningful friendship there.

But it's still nice to hear.

-Not everything in life has to mean anything...-

-He's not sure he understands, but he'll keep this in mind.-

-...How would he feel if someone asked him how he was doing?-

-...-

-...He's... not sure. He's still very out of it about this 'feel' thing.-

-He knows what gratitude is at least.-

-To ask someone how they are is to ask what condition they are in.-

-It means they care what condition you are in, so...-

"...I would be thankful."

-But he would argue against there being no reason for it.-

"If they are asking that, they are asking what your condition is. It shows that they are concerned with your condition. That means something, correct?"

-Oh! Someone else is here. here.-

-He can try to break the ice with her!-

-What's one of those things that Xenos said to say...?-

"Do you want a cup of tea?"

-...-

-...Well, that must sound random.-

It can do, but it can also mean nothing.

Because they're really passing the time.

Here's the thing... not everything has a deeper meaning to it.

It's like holding the door open for someone. Sure it's polite, but you're not doing it because you want to be polite to that specific person, but more just because you can.

Midna and Gracia

AAAAAAAAAAA— ...oh. oh MY, how fascinating...!

(Looks that magical combination of horrified and bemused as Gracia's porcelain touch begins to take hold.)

(The arm does not seem pleased and wriggles about in the wolf's iron grip, struggling to heave it off.)


Eires and Sandra

(Looks like... A deep, abyssal, room-sized elevator shaft, down into the dark of god-knows how far under the foundations of this meager building.)

(The walls, however, seem to be made of that portal-friendly material, and there's little maintenance ledges here and there.)

(are you two bad enough dudes to investigate the depths?)


Panos and Marcia

(Timid smile.)

...Th-thank you... I'm— uhhhm... i-it's just very fortunate and blessed in general that I have the, uhhhm... disciples that— that I have, because— because you all are so kind...

-Food is good. Sustenance.-

-And so, he answers:-

"Yes."

-He does want fries with that.-

-The narrator facepalms at this one.-

-108 then looks back at Pan.-

"Understood."

-Annnnnnnnnnnd he stays sitting there.-

-...Perhaps someone should explain that when you ask someone if they want something like tea, you're sort of obligated to get that something for someone?-

Because sometimes ignorance is bliss, 108.

And you must be the happiest soul in the goddamn universe.

Now you make tea by boiling water, putting the tea leaves, or a tea-bag, into a mug.

Then you pour boiling water into that mug with the tea in it.

You let it brew, and then serve it up with any additions like milk or sugar for black tea.

Pretty easy, r...right?
