DAY 88 -- PUBLIC CHANNEL

[dorkypantsuit]

[It's a not terribly cheerful Psi greeting you on the radio today. In fact, his annoyance is palpable though he tries his best to restrain it.]

Are there any individuals here from species with... Alternative romantic relationships, by which I mean romantic relationships not motivated purely by... Love.

Barring that, I'm wondering if anyone here with experience fighting psionics is interested in... Sparring.

[Shrug??]

The night doesn't feel as mysterious when your species is nocturnal.

[steadydollypegs]

Ohhh...

Does the day feel mysterious, then?

[dorkypantsuit]

Mostly it just felt deadly, but that's probably just because the sun could literally set you on fire.

[steadydollypegs]

Haha... Yeah... been there. [Very recently. Hashtag mushi problems.]

Anyway-- maybe it's like you don't quite know exactly whatcha like about it, but it's a general feeling. It makes ya feel somethin' that can't be expressed easily. It's too big or something.

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Like it's not a bad feeling, but it's powerful and that can be scary in a way.

[steadydollypegs]

Or overwhelming! Sometimes even when I don't feel like crying, I'm so full of somethin' that it just happens.

So I dunno. I figure ya can be full of somethin' for somebody, but it ain't one type'a love.

[dorkypantsuit]

You're pretty smart for a human. Can't say I'm surprised though.

[steadydollypegs]

Eh? Meaning what?

[dorkypantsuit]

Meaning someone related to Joker can't be completely incompetent.

[steadydollypegs]

You know my brother? [This is very exciting news!] Yeah he's a real smart one, innit he?

[dorkypantsuit]

That's one way to put it.

[He certainly knew Joker in some sense of the word.]

Too clever for his own good's what I'd say.

[steadydollypegs]

[Doll laughs.] Always a bit o' a smartass, isn't he? Hasn' been drivin' everybody 'round here too crazy, has he?

[dorkypantsuit]

Not everybody, just me most days.

[steadydollypegs]

Well, aren't ya the special one! [She laughs again, clearly glad that her brother has obviously made a good and funny friend.] I promise, soon y'just get used to it and it's water off a duck's back.
