[ private ]

I can't ask her anything more about home. She's made it clear she doesn't want to talk to me. [ a pause ]

The longer I'm here, the more might be at risk at home. How can everyone be so sure that time is frozen back home? There's no guarantee whatsoever. [ his voice grows somewhat louder ] Nothing about Paradisa makes any sense! And yet they just--

[ he cuts himself off and takes a deep breath ]

I should check the library again. I could have missed something. Paradisa has to have some sort of written history.

If anyone-- [ suddenly, some... starly sounds. idk what a starly sounds like. use your imagination. then this is the sound of gil raising his voice at it. ]

Stop that!

I'm not going to take care of an animal that doesn't belong to me or anyone I know.

Killer?

[merriment.livejournal.com]

You should leave a message in the journal! I know that someone here cares for animals, I'm sure she would be more than happy to care for him!

Killer is Julian's cat! Every now and then, I let him stay in my room with his brother, Menace!

[invokes.livejournal.com]

I was going to--

[ pause ]

Cat?

[merriment.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are both cats. Though they are still rather small!

[ wait, what is that face ]

Gilbert?

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ he shakes his head ]

I'm fine.

[merriment.livejournal.com]

If you're certain.

[ aka she doesn't believe you in the slightest ]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ a long pause ]

I don't like them.

[merriment.livejournal.com]

He will not bother you, I promise.

[invokes.livejournal.com]

I don't...

[merriment.livejournal.com]

I will protect you, Gilbert!

You worry far too much.

[invokes.livejournal.com]

I don't need protection.

[merriment.livejournal.com]

Then you would rather Menace roam freely? Very well!

[ she turns to leave ]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

Are you threatening me?

[merriment.livejournal.com]

[ with a knowing smile ]

A young girl is not very threatening.

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ folds his arms ]

That's true.

[merriment.livejournal.com]

[ twitch, you weren't supposed to agree ]

But what I said before is a promise, I will win the game!

[invokes.livejournal.com]

I'm not interested in that either.

[ winning that is. except he secretly thinks he'll clobber her in any 'video game'. ]

[merriment.livejournal.com]

Very well! Then I shall leave you with you bird.

[ you and me -- super smash bros. it's on like donkey kong now ]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ he nods, not even understanding why she came here in the first place. weird little girl. ]

[merriment.livejournal.com]

[ because she was worried about you and that poor defenseless bird, you little weirdo ]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

I'll see you later, then.

[merriment.livejournal.com]

Yes, later! I do hope you decide to keep him, Gilbert. I think the company would be very nice for you.

[ another smile and a curtsy to follow, then she steps out the door ]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ why does everyone keep trying to force him to socialize? either way, he nods again.

...except he's totally not showing up. ]

[merriment.livejournal.com]

[ she'll give up eventually! ]
