[Really, local media? Really?]

Why would anyone write something like that? Who cares about that kind of thing, anyway? Shouldn't the media be focusing on something more important? Something that actually matters?

... and are there really people out there looking at my-- watching me run?

Cut it out.

If you want. [which is as much of a "yeah, I'd like to" as anything.] I know a place.

How do you know I'm a girl?

[The way she is actually typing, as opposed to how I am writing it for legibility, makes it pretty much a dead giveaway.]

[risetocaesar]

That means don't worry about it, right?

[He's picking up on some of that French, finally.]

Thank you. You're a good friend, Mitsuru.

But they weren't talking to me. It would be eavesdropping.

[He speaks Shinji's language pretty well. He gets it.]

Great. I'll buy, okay?

[risetocaesar]

That doesn't sound very impressive. Huh.

I assumed. And the way you're typing.

It's mostly girls that care about my shirt being off. I think.

It's not eavesdropping. It's being observant.

[risetocaesar]

I guess it's more the leering than the staring.

[risetocaesar]

Are you sure? Most people don't like others listening in on their conversations.

I'm not talking about deliberately eavesdropping on private conversations. I'm talking about not tuning out what's going on around you. People say a lot of things walking past in the hallway or on the way to school or on a train. And you don't always have to be an active participant to be a part of a conversation.

[ Man, Minato learned all sorts of things listening to other students hanging out by the gate on the way into school.]

[risetocaesar]

[But tuned-out is his default!]

Maybe I'll try keeping an ear out sometime, then. But if I hear anything personal, I'm going to keep walking.

[risetocaesar]

Magic, right?

Yeah. The world is a lot more fragile than I thought. I learned that before coming here.

[text]

[demifemme]

[greyerrant]

You could take it as a compliment.

[nyxterious]

They're really making sure to know everything about the people here, huh?

At least it's a compliment! It wasn't an insult, at least.

[greatseal]

Of course! Unless, you're really not interested in dating at all...

[She doubts that, after what she's heard about "Operation Babe Hunt." And the accidental video recording in the command room. And the Kyoto incident. Even if that was Junpei's doing.]

[themortalhalf]

Fine by me.

You still gonna run?

[text]

[risetocaesar]

Thanks for the advice, leader. :)

[risetocaesar]

I am, someday, but I guess it's not a priority right now. And I haven't met the right girl, I guess.

[voice]

[risetocaesar]

You bet. Usually done by quarter to seven.

In a nutshell? Death got called down from the sky because people wished for the end.

... the summary doesn't make much sense. There were a lot of Shadows involved. Sort of like the demons here.
