Oh, um, 4 few... but sometimes I wonder... if they're re4lly puzzles... 4t 4ll or just... very complic4ted things, m4ybe.
Some 4re just 4bout... the world, or others.
Underst4nding the m4chines here... is 4 h4rd one... too, I think, yes.
Most puzzle puzzles 4re... re4lly e4sy, so I... find h4rder ones, yes!
One of them is... 4 little emb4r4ssing, I've... been told, I think.

Ah, yes, the meaning of life and all its mysteries are quite puzzles in themselves, aren't they?
And machines can be tough to figure out, believe me, I know!
What sort of puzzle is embarrassing to solve, though? 8/

Yes, they 4re, quite... puzzling to think 4bout!
Oh? Oh oh oh... wh4t sorts of m4chines... 4re you t4lking 4bout?
I, um, I, well... I don't know if... I should t4lk 4bout... it much, no, no.

Oh, I'm talking about clocks, myself!
Devilishly puzzling little machines, those are!
It took me quite a number of years to understand how they work.
And aw, it's alright, you can talk about it with me!
Unless it's something personal?

I've never seen 4... clock, you s4id it's... little, 4 little m4chine?
I w4nt to see... one, somed4y, I think!
Well, it's, see, um... I w4s told some... others don't like to... discuss it, but it's...
.... .... .... ....
.... .... .... ....
.... .... .... ....
.... .... .... qu4dr4nts.

Yes, it is!
It tells time and it utterly complex and wonderful in every way.
And hmm, quadrants?
Like what, parts of a square?
What's so embarrassing about that?

Oh! Th4t sounds like... 4 very fun sort... of little puzzle m4chine!
4nd 4bout qu4dr4nts, um... no, I me4n the... four import4nt ones, th4t... 4re re4lly complic4ted 4nd...
You know them, right?

Yes, I'll have to show you sometime!
Though really, I mean show, there's no real way to describe these beauties in words.
And no? I don't think I do.
Refresh my memory, maybe I'm forgetting.

I would love to... see them, then, yes!
They sound like re4lly... unique, fun, puzzling puzzles!
Oh. Um, um, um... um, oh, I think...
M4ybe I c4n just... tell you in person... somed4y, I think, m4ybe?
It's 4 puzzle for... um, I think, f4ce... to f4ce solving, yes.

They really are! Or, erm, will be once I find them.
And alright. Hmmm. 8/
Are quadrants kind of like those sciences where you can tell a person's personality based on how big their nose is, or what?
Because of the face-to-face part of it all.

You don't h4ve them... right now? Why do... you need to find... them; do they flee?
.... .... .... ....
Qu4dr4nts 4re puzzling 4nd... might include something like... th4t, m4ybe, I think

You can't possibly tell him all that quadrants include; especially when you haven't figured it all out yourself!

Hahaha, you could say that puzzles are flighty little things, like birds!
Some are quite easy to catch, but the rest jump and dance and squirm out of your reach when you try to snatch them!
I'll send more sudokus to you for sure, but I'm trying to find puzzles which might challenge you a little more, that's all.
Really? Huh!
I know of a thing that can even tell you your future and who you'll love and what job you'll get based on the lines in your hands!
It's called palm-reading. Kind of like face-reading, in a way.
But I'm not entirely sure if they're true or really work or not. It is quite puzzling, much like your quadrants are!

Oh! Oh oh oh... ok4y, I get it!
There 4re re4lly so... so so so m4ny... kinds of puzzles, yes!
Wow, wow wow wow... I didn't think 4nything... like th4t could exist.
.... .... .... Um..
You h4ven't used th4t... h4ve you, Cheriour, the... p4lm-re4ding thing, m4ybe?
Th4t m4y not be... um, true or not... but I know qu4dr4nts... 4re true things 4nd... 4re just very complic4ted.

Yeah, see?
Of course they exist! You just need to know how to look. 8)
Oh, I haven't, but if you want me to, I could ask my Dad for a book on it!
I've heard you can learn it that way.
And wow, your quadrants do sound complicated! It all makes me the more curious as to what they are, hmm.

Oh, um, oh oh... oh, m4ybe, yes, books... c4n be very helpful!
Um um um um...
I guess it's 4... promise th4t I'll tell... you 4ll 4bout the... qu4dr4nts one d4y, yes?
Unless I could find... 4 book 4bout them... first, m4ybe, I could?

Oh, alright, it's a promise!
You'd better not break it though, when we meet. I'll remind you!
Though yes, if you could find a book that would explain where you could, that would be helpful!
Whatever you decide. 8)

I won't forget, no!
But you c4n still... remind me if you... w4nt in c4se I... get distr4cted.
I'll try to find... 4 book for now... though, I think, yes!
I won't let you... down, no w4y, Cheriour.

Alright! Not a problem.
Just pester me if you do, alright?
And gosh, miss, you couldn't let me down if you tried!
I believe in you, no matter what. 8)

[ooc: oops i arted them because of feels >>]

Ok4y, yes, I c4n... do th4t! You'll be... the first to know!
4nd I, um, th4t's...
Th4nkyouCheriourth4nkyouth4nkyouth4nkyouumumumum4urevoir,yes!

-- apiaryCryptonaut is an idle chum! --

You are puzzlingly overwhelmed by this extremely positive interaction! You quickly set your headset aside, moving the screen from your vision. Friend. Friend. Believes in you no matter what. Couldn't let him down. You have to figure this out; think about it all! Surely your pile of rubix cubes will help calm you.

[ooc: aaaa squee that art; both just smiiiiiling-- aaaa :> It brought the biggest smile to my face. Also Cheriour can definitely keep messaging Avispa, she'll respond... eventually (ie when I wake up because sleep is soon)]

Well, that was a quick goodbye. But wow, what a sweet girl- you just can't keep yourself from grinning every time you talk from her. Even though she uses words like some of the other people do, like lusus and all (was she part of the same group as them?), she's definitely not as grumpy or mean as they are!

Taken with excitement, you go down to ask your Dad whether he has a palm-reading book somewhere- even though you never were really into such mumbo-jumbo stuff, talking with her has really made you want to learn it as much as you can, for some reason.

A couple of days later, you decide to check on how she is doing.

Hey!
Hey, how are things?
I've been reading a lot since we last spoke, hehe.
I'm guessing you still haven't found that book yet? If not, that's fine!
Take your time.

[ooc: Glad you like it, hehehe! And go to sleep, you need it. :Ic /pats]

Edited 2012-10-22 05:19 (UTC)

Oh, look! Cheriour's messaging you. You should probably answer that, shouldn't you? What do you mean you're not ready? No, you have to answer him even without all the answers. Even your lusus is urging you to do it.

You at least have a few questions you've come up with to ask, though you're still not ready for the quadrant discussion and you most certainly don't have a book!

Oh! Hello, Cheriour, hello!
I h4ven't found it... no, but I found... some other things, m4ybe!
Um, I h4ve 4... few questions, m4ybe, yes!
But um, wh4t h4ve... you been re4ding 4... lot of? Wh4t book?

Ooh, really? What sort of other things?
And questions, I am definitely ready to answer questions!
Oh, I found a good book on how to palm-read people!
It really is a bit fascinating, I have to admit.

Some, um, good w4ys... to m4ybe expl4in qu4dr4nts... I think, m4ybe, yes!
But I need to... re4d them fully first!
4 big question, um... is from when we... t4lked before, m4ybe, 4bout... lususes 4nd things, yes.
You mentioned th4t other... people you know h4ve... them, but does th4t... me4n you don't, m4ybe?
Why don't you, m4ybe?
Um. If you'd be... willing to 4nswer, m4ybe.
If not, I'm sorry.

Oh, okay! Really, take your time!
And yes, I've heard other people talk about them, but I'm not entirely sure what it means.
Something like parents, I think?
I don't have a lusus, but I have a Dad.
And I have a Dad because he adopted me a long time ago!
That's fine! Ask away, I won't be afraid to ask. 8)

Ok4y! I'll tell you... once I finish re4ding!
I think gu4rdi4n would... be 4n 4ccur4te m4tch!
4re p4rents like th4t?
4nd um, um um... um, 4m I re4lly... re4lly re4lly re4lly 4... puzzle god, you think?

from the other thread: yeah can't stop shipping aaaa

it just keeps snowballing and you can't stop it

i guess we just have to get rolled up into it

plunging over a cliff of no return, that's where we are rolling

but isn't it a chasm of happiness over the cliff of no return?

maybe but then we'd get impaled by the spikes of feelings down at the bottom

if the ship ever sails we'll be revived as god tiers??

does that mean we are heroes of ships is that what we are

that is what we could be if we do it right; but "right" how do

especially if we're dying at the same time, that wouldn't be good >>

we'll make it work somehow; but the feels are inevitable

we shall use the feels to make ourself a new universe full of feels

the feeliverse?

universifeels??

universifeels is a better word for it, yes yes!

KINGS OF UNIVERSIFEELS RIGHT HERE

i don't have to wear a silly king crown do i?

only if you want 8Ic

i'll just give the silly crown to you or cheriour or something

cheriour accepts the crown and then proceeds to accidently let it topple off his head

and avispa politely sets it back atop his head in a way that keeps it there; with a smile

he'll just blush forever after that YOU ARE TOO NICE, AVISPA ;;

she thinks he looks nice with a crown; but it needs a little clock
