*waives hi*
Mierno: *walks into the base, heading straight for the medbay, looking for jade*
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Thanks.
*Pushes myself off of the bus stop, casting a sideways glance at you as I move to continue my walk down the street*
Try not to get into too much trouble out there. I'd really hate to have to leave another Verse behind.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
I've been doing that for ages, I think I can do it for longer yet.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Reaches into my jacket to pull out another cigarette followed by a lighter*
Then I stay.
*Placing the filter between my lips, I light the other end, flicking the lighter shut and stuffing it back into my jacket*
Now, I'm sure you have somewhere else to be...
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
I've always had that option, even with fate's nagging in the meantime.
*Pauses*
Now a better question would be, why should I get involved? What prevents this from being like every other time, and you like every other supplicant?
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
You'll forgive my skepticism at that claim, though even if you are that doesn't make things any better. Many people have come to me for their own purposes, be those concealed by lies or delivered bluntly, and none of them have been affairs I've wanted to become wrapped up in.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
*Scoffs*
The only reason it's hard for me to hide is because of fate. If I really wanted to, I could erase my presence in this area, but it wouldn't matter. Fate would still find a way to intervene.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
In the sense that I go out of my way to ensure there's nothing abnormal around me. Nothing that could be used as a string by fate. Plus, I suppose being able to completely mask my presence also helps, though not much it seems.
