[Ryuunosuke is not smiling for once. He seems to be laying back in his bed with a gloomy expression.]

Hey, Prospero. I'm bored, so you get to hear me talk about stuff that isn't important. Sound good?

Somebody once compared a beautiful woman to a dove, and that's okay, but I don't think it was really accurate. If we kept with the avian comparisons, then I think a lot of people are like geese. Geese are everywhere, but they still think their space is special. If you annoy a goose it'll start honking and biting and it'll be a mess. I really don't like geese much at all.

People like Lancer, Asuka, Saber - off the top of my head - are way more like swans. Swans are rare, they're beautiful, and if you piss them off you are screwed. This is my service to you guys, more important than killing Shadows: I'm telling you, do not mess with swans. You guys could take swans in single combat, I'm sure, but it isn't worth the trouble.

[He sighs.] Is Lancer still mad at me, by the way? Seriously...

Uh, I'm not sure where I was going with that extended metaphor. Like I said, I'm really bored.

[ Why is he calling her beautiful in public? Even if it was meant for a metaphor, the intent behind it is still the same. Furthermore, stating names like that in public when people like her Master from the Fourth War was here..

All the timing was off. ]

.. A swan. [ Well, she's managing to say something, her voice just as flustered as her face, although that was hidden for now. ]

[Oh, it's one of the people he thinks is cool. He brightens up a little.]

Suits you way better than something silly like a dove.

If I had my preference, I would choose a lion to represent myself with.

[ Not that she's biased or anything towards them. ]

Is there a bird identical to a lion?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

I know, I was just going with the bird metaphors. Birds that are like lions, uuuum. Not that I can think of? Lions aren't really flightworthy.

The next time I try to make an extended metaphor for types of people, you get to be a lion.

[ex_cashcow493]

I do?

[ SHE SOUNDS SO SO EXCITED. ]

Are you going to compare everyone to a bird? Sort of like code names?

Re: audio;

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you do!

Uuum, I was kind of hoping to figure out more, but I don't have to. It's really just that I can't think of much else to do right now.

[fatestayhome.livejournal.com]

...that's definitely some metaphor.

[Actually he's just pinged by the possibility that the 'Saber' he knows was mentioned.]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Hmm... playing around with the metaphor s'more, wouldn't the people you mentioned be more like a hawk or a falcon than a swan? I've never seen a swan outside of still images, but I can't imagine they're all that dangerous.

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

I've thought of better ones in my day.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

No, I've seen swans in person more than once. Swans can be scary and dangerous, for birds.

[Video]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[So much disbelief. SO. MUCH.] What? Get outta here. They don't even have talons, I thought. Heck, they didn't even look all that suited for flight.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Swans are incredibly aggressive. They don't have talons, but their bite is nasty and they can and will drown whatever they're attacking.

I don't get it.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

There's not a lot to get. I'm still boooored.

[cut-lass.livejournal.com]

Comparing people to animals never really had much insight to me. It's just an easy way to get away with your problems!

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

I'm not really trying to get away with anything here.

[What's she on about, anyway?]

[Video]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Wow. Unless you're pulling my leg here, I think I'll give you metaphor-superiority. That's pretty nasty for such an unassuming bird.

Actually, was that supposed to be a stealthy insult? I mean, swans are pretty and all, but that makes them seem pretty rude, all things considered...

[Video]

[cut-lass.livejournal.com]

Of course you do! By saying that you are describing people plainly and without thinking they might have more depth.

Although I guess everyone does that...

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Nope, not an insult. One of those people killed me, I'm allowed to call them 'aggressive' in figurative language.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

I'm big on depth. I've seen lots of people do surprising things, but it's nice to have some categories. Sometimes. I don't know.

[Video]

[cut-lass.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

Maybe. I guess that if you don't really do it with ill intent it should be okay...

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

No ill intent at all.

[Video]

[cut-lass.livejournal.com]

Okay then!

I'm Sayaka by the way.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Ryuunosuke. Nice to meetcha!

[Video]

[cut-lass.livejournal.com]

For an American island, there are sure a bunch of Japanese people stranded here, don't you think?

Anyway, nice to meet you too!
