[BACKDATED TO SOME TIME THAT ISN'T A BOSS FIGHT like January 23 I guess] [video]

[So. Man. Out of nowhere, Kayneth's got all these feelings.

Feelings of familial devotion for people he's met like once. What are their names, even? There's that one guy who looks like he's never been out in the sun ever who he's currently assuming is his brother or something, he's got feelings of fatherly devotion for that one kid who made an ass of himself over magic and that other kid who... was not actually that bad, given that he gave him helpful information and didn't try to punch him in the face.

And he still feels like he's forgetting someone. Or maybe two someones. Man. What the hell kind of aristocrat can't remember his own family members' names? Get with the program, Kayneth.

Well, anyway, what... do you do with these feelings... quality family time, right? Or do you just completely ignore them until they do something praiseworthy.

...MAYBE HE COULD JUST TAKE THEM ALL OUT TO A REALLY EXPENSIVE DINNER...]

It's come to my attention that some of you suddenly feel like family to me, despite the fact that we've never met before and have only really had brief conversations. I don't see any good reason to let that get in the way of anything, of course, so I've decided to take you all out to dinner. I'll pay, of course.

[THIS IS THE MOST GENEROUS HE'LL EVER BE.]

[it's a... month after Christmas miracle.

which is better than if the miracle never happen, at least. but it's cold out, so her actually showing up was appreciated. ...now uh, the awkward thing is... how the hell... do you ask your kid her name...

Whatever. Act smooth. Act like you're in control. That is what you do when you are Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.]

Are you ready, then?

[breatheinthefog]

*B|* Yes. I might as well.

[enjoymyatelier]

[uhh.... well...]

...let's get going, then.

[breatheinthefog]

Hm. *Sorry, dude, you have an Emotionless Girl who lives on a rock for a kid. She looks up.* Where are we going?

[enjoymyatelier]

[he can do stoic, man.]

I have reservations at [INSERT NAME OF FANCY EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT HERE]. From what I've read, it has very good ratings.

[breatheinthefog]

Ratings?

[enjoymyatelier]

...as in, professional opinions on the quality of food, service, and atmosphere?

[breatheinthefog]

Hm. It must be important.

[enjoymyatelier]

Of course it is-otherwise, how do you know whether you're going to be eating overpriced trash or food that's worth every penny?

[breatheinthefog]

Hm. ...I suppose for something like food, it isn't that pointless.

*Just prior to her pull point, Kaoru discovered food. She doesn't mind so much that, here in Prospero, she has to eat to live.*

[enjoymyatelier]

...it's not pointless at all.

[kayneth you are in for a trip.]

[breatheinthefog]

Isn't that what I said? You're confusing.

[enjoymyatelier]

You seemed to imply that there was still some degree of pointlessness inherent in the concept.

[breatheinthefog]

Most things are pointless.

[enjoymyatelier]

There are definitely some things that are objectively pointless, but for the most part it's rather subjective.

[breatheinthefog]

If you think so.

[enjoymyatelier]

That's... just how it is.

[christ this conversation is awkward...]

[breatheinthefog]

This world has too many rules. *Shrugs and keeps walking.*

[enjoymyatelier]

Rules exist for a reason, you know.

[breatheinthefog]

I know, but most of the constructs they regulate don't matter.

[enjoymyatelier]

What do you mean?

[breatheinthefog]

*Shrug.* There are a lot of things here that are pointless.

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, I would agree with that-just not to the same extent.

[breatheinthefog]

Then what do you say is pointless, if not everything? I don't get it.

[enjoymyatelier]

Attempting things that are clearly impossible, for one.
