Somebody.

Explain "special service".

Well, what are some examples of special service?

[devola]

Well, the first one that comes to mind would be a bar or restaurant that has a separate menu for certain guests -- friends of the establishment, long time customers, that kinda person.

[breatheinthefog]

Like giving things for free to people you like...

[devola]

Mm, I'm not sure that'd fit under the definition, but I guess it's the same general idea.

[breatheinthefog]

...Okay.

[devola]

Y'alright? You sound slightly less stoic than usual. And not quite in a good way.

[breatheinthefog]

I'm the same as before.

[devola]

Ah, well. Now you are at least.

[breatheinthefog]

I was before.

[devola]

If you say so~♫

[breatheinthefog]

Stop that.

[devola]

Can you be a teensy bit more specific in your demands?

[breatheinthefog]

Stop mocking me. For that matter, stop telling me what to do, too.

[devola]

In fairness to me, that last one was a request.

...Anyway, sorry. You're just a bit fun to tease. Guess I got a bit carried away, and I apologize for that.

[breatheinthefog]

What? Why would I be fun to tease?

[devola]

Mm, generally when you tease someone, you do it to provoke a reaction of some kind. Right?

I dunno, I guess in this case it'd be the way you take everything so seriously.

[breatheinthefog]

I have no reason not to.

[devola]

I guess not...

Not to be mean, but sometimes I get the feeling you've never experienced a moment of levity in your life.

[breatheinthefog]

Why do you care?

[devola]

Well, to be blunt, it's not a big deal to me either way.

At the same time, we're all stuck here in Prospero together. Might as well take time to know everyone else here. What makes one another tick, what will and won't piss each other off and leave us stuck on an island full of angry people.

...Or, I could say it in a word I guess. Empathy.

[breatheinthefog]

Empathy...
