[ 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

"Hello, I'm Ruri Hoshino. When you ask about butterflies, do you mean any or that gold one I think I remember seeing once?"

[complexdisorder]

I am glad to see you making friends, Kanaya.

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]

any
i guess

[tastestherainbow]

i think you may be misinterpreting my intentions and also grossly overestimating my ability if that were my intention rose

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.

[complexdisorder]

I think you may be misinterpreting my intentions and underestimating my ability to be sincere, Kanaya.

What is with your sudden interest in Earth butterflies?

[tastestherainbow]

Well thank you for the sincerity
but i am not sure i will be as efficacious as in the endeavor as you may think

anyway
have i never mentioned my lusus
i guess not now that i think of it
my lusus was an enormous moth monster
so moths and similar creatures remind me of her
i know it is a silly thing but seeing them makes me happy

[complexdisorder]

Indeed? I knew a small amount about lusii, but I will admit not much.
And, it is not foolish to find comfort in something that reminds you of home.
Especially in a place so foreign.

[electricyousei]

"I have a whole database on them if you really want."

[tastestherainbow]

if you say so
its actually been some time since ive thought about her

[complexdisorder]

I am quite certain that isn't true, Kanaya, but I will allow your pretending for now.

[acapriciousthing]

It's good to meet you too.

I think there was something almost like a dream about butterflies, right when I got here. I'm not really used to dreaming.

[tastestherainbow]

its just
i have had not much reason to think about her while on the meteor
and when i did think about her while on there it was mostly
bad
i guess
due to associations made while in that place
at least with seeing the butterflies here i can think of her without that in mind

text;

[tastestherainbow]

uh right thanks
i think

[tastestherainbow]

im not either
not anymore and never in any normal sense
hence why i was unsure to attribute my memory to dreaming
but if that is what it was then that is very strange

[acapriciousthing]

I'm used to just walking into the Dreaming. But it seems that this place affects that.

[tastestherainbow]

im not going to assume that i know what you mean
but it sounds close enough to my experiences so uh
yeah i know what you mean me too

[complexdisorder]

I apologize. I suppose that any thoughts of your lusus when confronted with such obvious signs of her absence would be upsetting.
I am glad this place at least has one good side effect.

[oathofdevotion]

Kanaya dear! You're back! Oh goodness, I've missed you so much!

text;

[selfgodded]

yes but.

（￣～￣;）

（￣～￣;）

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

[acapriciousthing]

It seems that bringing people here isn't the only unusual thing this place can do.
