[ Okay. It is time for Kanaya to reach out. She cannot sit in her little human respite block forever in between bothering Rose(s?). Still...

Being in a city filled with aliens on an alien planet with alien...everything else gave her little motivation to actually do this. Should she do a video introduction like she has seen others do? No, then she risks a thousand responses that amount to gawking at her.

A vocal introduction? Maybe. No, never mind, no way in Hell is she doing that. She can only imagine the awkward fumbling of words she would inevitably spew out as some poor imitation of talking.

Well. There is only one way to outreach to the masses and introduce herself while keeping some of her dignity. Comments about her typing style would be easier to deal with than comments about her species. ]

[ TEXT ]

Hello Hinoto Ri
Uh

[ Shit. She really should have, like. Written a rough draft or something. Doing this on the fly is not working, but too late now. ]

My Name is kanaya maryam
it is nice to meet you i guess
not the city itself i mean the populace as in whoever is reading this
im sure it will be nice to meet you once i actually meet some of you
seeing as i have hardly met anyone at all
but i would like to assume that the average individual that will respond to this will be nice to meet
or at least tolerable
uh

[ Wow, talking to strangers is so much easier when you are trying to be condescending and snarky in the process instead of not. ]

anyway before i say anything i regret
more so than i have
uh
yeah thats all i have got

oh wait
does anyone remember anything about butterflies
i am kind of fond of them for reasons i wont bother to explain due to well inevitably causing more confusion than clarity
and i swear i saw some but i cant remember why or where for the life of me

ok there we go
that is all i have to say
bye i think

Comments

hello kanaya maryam.

it is nice to meet you as well.

how are you.

if you are looking for butterflies. they are a type of insect yes. then. you should speak to the one called viridi. or go to the park. i believe they will live there.

flowers exist there.

i hope this is helpful to you.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

i dont think those were the ones in particular that i was referring to
but

yeah i think it will be helpful
knowing there are more
and flowers for that matter

text;

[selfgodded]

the flowers are very beautiful. there are so many. they come in all sorts of colours.

especially blue. they have a sky here.

its wonderful.

i love it.

i hope you will love it too.

what do you think of the colour blue.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

oh
uh
yes blue is ok i guess
im more partial to green
which
is probably obvious

text;

[selfgodded]

green is good too.

sign of health and life.

very good.

that is a good favourite colour. i approve very much.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

uh right thanks
i think

text;

[selfgodded]

yes but.

（￣～￣;）

may i ask you a question. what do you think about freedom.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

[ she is so confused about this conversation ]

uh i would say i am fond of it

text;

[selfgodded]

[That's okay. Everyone is so confused when talking to Anant]

:)

(:

good.

then perhaps i could invite you in a discussion.

what would you rather have. would you like to have your purpose handed to you at birth. a set of goals for you to accomplish and fulfil. no ifs or buts. that is what you must accomplish. that is what you must do. you have freedom so long as you act within those guidelines.

or.

would you rather have no purpose handed to you. you have nothing but yourself. your individual desires and memories. to find ones own purpose. ones own dream. even if you never find one. even if you find one but are incapable of accomplishing it. would the broken heart of a failed dream be worth the freedom you had in this choice.

what would you desire. a purpose given to you and safety in happiness. or no purpose but complete freedom in your choice and decisions.

i am interested in learning this answer from as many people as possible.

:)

[tastestherainbow]

Uh
that is kind of a very personal question
not that i guess you would be aware
although it would probably be personal to anyone
but the topic is particularly important to me
and it is unnerving that someone would manage to ask something so targeted towards said topic so quickly
so
i think i am not going to answer that right now

text;

[selfgodded]

i see. i have made a faux pas. is that what it is called.

in any case. yes. this is fine. you may dwell on the answer if you so wish. or never tell it to me. it was curiosity on what you thought on it.

peoples' views on it differ individually. it is interesting. some wish for guidance. some wish for complete freedom. others have no thoughts on it at all. how can there be such variation. even in those who share the same outlook. their motivations differ. their wants and dreams differ.

different.

its glorious isnt it.

my apologies. i have rambled.

in any case. let me ask you something hopefully less personal. what would you like for the human holiday christmas.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

uh ok
its alright
i know what its like to end up rambling
but as for your question i would have to respond with a question
what is the human holiday christmas

text;

[selfgodded]

truthfully i am not entirely certain.

it is a holiday humans celebrate called christmas.

some important figure in the religion of christianity was born then. but one does not have to be a christian to celebrate this holiday. or partake in it.

from my understanding presents are exchanged between those close to you. or to people you met. i am not sure on details. there is also something about eating turkey but i also do not know what that is.

i think it is a bird.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

uh ok
so it is a human religious holiday
ill have to ask my human acquaintance about it im sure she knows a lot about it

but uh gifts are exchanged
is that right

text;

[selfgodded]

yes. they are. it is really nice. humans exchange gifts of varying sentimental quality or practicality. it increases the bonds between them. it is a lovely tradition. one that is fuelled both by greed and altruism.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

oh that is interesting
also confusing
what with a holiday about being both greedy and selfless
but ok
this is kind of a surprise

text;

[selfgodded]

humans are full of them. they have other holidays too. ester. easter. im unsure on how it is spelt. valentines day. i know how to spell that one.

isnt it wonderful. so many holidays to increase their bonds. truly they are social creatures. both full of love and hatred. dont you think they are amazing.

text;

[tastestherainbow]

uh
theyre ok i guess

text;

[selfgodded]

yes. excellent.

we should meet one day.
