To Infinity and Beyond

It certainly looks like everyone's starting to settle in their new surroundings. I'm surprised that some of them even took up jobs! Not that I'm complaining... my notes and books have never been tidier, it's a hell of a time saver. I bet Albert would be jealous if he knew how I lived. Or probably not. Then there's that new innkeeper, who's even got experience in paperwork! Can you believe my luck? ...I guess I shouldn't be too glad. These people surely wish they were rather home than here.

...Man, infinite worlds, huh? There must be all kinds of uniquely interesting people out there. Thousands, I bet.

Too late. You already imagined all kinds of things, haven't you? Either as yourself, or through my eyes, or as a third person looking on me and the poor girls. I wonder which is creepiest?

I realize my passion is wasted on you -- your vibe is just more casual than hers!

[fierce_marauder]

... Geez. See, if you're saying this, then I think it's more likely you've already imagined all these things. Through your own eyes.

Heh, you just need someone to talk to who ain't keeping you all high-strung, huh?

[aloof_savant]

Ah~ but I don't think I'm old and creepy!

Hahah... I admit it's not the most stimulating conversation, but I could use a little break.

[fierce_marauder]

... W-wait a sec, you're just admitting you've already thought of all that without a fight?

... Gee, thanks. Let me know when you want a sword fight, then we'll be even with the stimulation levels.

[aloof_savant]

Of course not! I just don't argue about trivial things.

So brute... Yeah, can't. I use a battle hammer.

[fierce_marauder]

Nah, I bet you've already thought about it. And if you hadn't, you sure will tonight.

Makes no difference to me. If you're holding it, it'll be a joke. ... No offense.

Hey! You're not very good at not being the creepy older guy.

None taken. I was obviously being sarcastic...

[fierce_marauder]

If I'm the creepy older guy then you're the younger closet-perv, kiddo.

I can never tell with you brainiac types.

[ Really, really doesn't argue about trivial things. Instead he finds this so unstimulating, that he... ]

...aa...z...zzz... wha?

[fierce_marauder]

...

I'm going to go swing my sword at something.
