They don't fear us here. It couldn't hurt.




A party, huh?

Clare, I think we should go. I'm sure that if we work together, the two of us could persuade Ilene to dress up as something adorable.


Who else lives on the fifth floor?

I hope you're not loud. Since we're such close neighbors.

[apathological.livejournal.com]

I try not to be. I'd hate for our floor to become another six.

[faintlysmiling.livejournal.com]

Is it that bad?

[apathological.livejournal.com]

The sixth floor had some...excitement before you arrived. Just a tiny little war between neighbors, but it was rather loud and public.

I hope you don't have any strange habits.

[faintlysmiling.livejournal.com]

I'm not very remarkable. You probably won't even know I'm there.

[apathological.livejournal.com]

I doubt it.

[faintlysmiling.livejournal.com]

You doubt what?

[apathological.livejournal.com]

That you're unremarkable. You're rather remarkable by Paradisa standards so far.

[faintlysmiling.livejournal.com]

I am? In what way?

[apathological.livejournal.com]

You're quiet.

[faintlysmiling.livejournal.com]

Noise is so unnecessary most of the time.

[apathological.livejournal.com]

Of course, but almost everyone here seems oblivious to that fact. It's terrible.

Still, it's good to know that at least one person won't be adding to the noise level. It's been a pleasure. Do have a good day, hm?

[faintlysmiling.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to.
