...You know, I'm really lenient about what passes for 'evolving' around here? I try to not get into the whole 'okay, but it doesn't work like that' thing, because nothing makes sense around here. I get it.

But at the same time, there's got to be a line in the sand somewhere.

[And that is said with all the exasperation of a man who is building up to something, sounds like. Sure enough, there are a couple of photos posted to the network eventually, and...well.

For all intents and purposes, they look pretty normal?

However.]

...I'm seriously not sure if this counts as evolving or just deciding to be perpetually pissed off.

I mean, I can't blame it? If somebody shoved a damn rock in my face and expected me to fix my damn fighting skills with it I'd probably be pretty mad too. But still. "Come the hell on" has got to be a totally reasonable response to this.

That's what I figured, then.

[ There's just a sigh, as if she's thinking about it... ]

So was coming here your first time out of that tower, then?

[nullorvoid]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure my boss has been to the living world a few times, but I'd never seen it.

[loveisanopendoor]

Wasn't quite what you were expecting, huh? ...Granted, this place is pretty different from, y'know, your living world, but...

It's nice, though, isn't it? The sun and the sky, and the fresh air, and the water...and the people, especially! From one sheltered person to another, I can get what that's like. ...Would've been nicer if you could've seen it on your own terms, I'm certain, but, hey, a vacation's nice, in any case, right?

[nullorvoid]

...It's kind of weird, but there's not too much to complain about other than, you know, the weirdness. And if that's the biggest problem we have, then everything's pretty all right, you know?

[loveisanopendoor]

Yeah, but in a way, you're lucky! It's not as weird as it could be, since you don't really have much to compare it to, right?
