Where: anywhere it's a mingle

[This is a mingle but there is a comment in a Chain Chat to the whole train!]

Rean: A while ago some of us were discussing a festival where every team puts on a production, game, booth, whatever, maybe based around team bonds or interests.

What do people think? Maybe it's a good time to to talk about it again?

[Feel free to discuss with each other! Or just mingle as usual.]

Comments

[overworker]

[Forgive her of, for a moment, her mouth just hangs open a little. She’s used to hearing these kinds of things from Crow and Angie but— they’d say that kind of thing easily to anyone. And she was their friend so. They were probably biased.]

Oh... I— ah... th-thank you...

[Why is someone that much more attractive than her telling her this? What is happening.]

Maybe... the outfit really does help...

[You know. With her utter lack of sex appeal.]

[voreaciously]

It accentuates you in unique ways, but it would not be able to do so if you did not possess your own many varieties of appeal to start with. to whit, the gap moe is very strong with you.

[she speaks casually and politely like the sky is blue.

basically this is indisputable fact.]

[overworker]

[Towa honestly hadn’t expected this out of 80H. However— its kind of nice to see her giving it that kind of effort. Even if it is embarrassing.]

I’ve... never considered myself to be very attractive. And not for any lack of wanting to. I’ve just never been able to see myself as the kind of person that others would be attracted to.

[It’s a struggle even now to not view it as a kindness. However—]

But it would feel wrong to argue something as nice as that, especially coming from an attractive woman.

[voreaciously]

[80H literally looks around her to see if Towa is simultaneously talking to someone else because she is surely not being called an attractive woman and she's SO STUPID, MICHI.]

Oh, you were talking about me.

[She swallows her natural responses and answers a few moments later.]

...Thank you, Miss Herschel.

going into CS3 spoilers—

[overworker]

[Oh my god. Guess she’s both jealous of and attracted to an idiot. Towa has a Type as much as Crow does apparently.]

...I have a feeling that Crow would say we’re both severely lacking in self-awareness.

[She’s not admitting anything. She’s very much correct about herself. 80H is a different matter entirely.]

I wish you could have met Angie. She would have loved you.

[Understatement of the century.]

[voreaciously]

I do not understand how I am lacking in that department.

[like sure she can be dumb sometimes, but what's going on with her NOW.]

I am not especially lovable.

[Her tone goes a little flat, a little distant, not at towa, she hasn't done anything. she is just suddenly reminding herself.

That's right, the truth is, she really is not.]

But you know your friend better than I, of course.

[overworker]

[With a very serious, focused look on her face, Towa leans up on her toes and pinches both of 80H’s cheeks.]

That’s not true at all. I’ve only known you a short period of time and I think you’re quite loveable.

[Deal! With it!!]

[voreaciously]

Ah! Uwaaah!

[Weakpoint, Weakpoint!

Help someone, she's being bullied.]

Waaahh...

[She doesn't look at all like her distant, elegant, dignified self as this goes on.]

[overworker]

[RIP 80H. You showed Towa an adorable weakness.]

Heehee~ you’re just so cute I just can’t resist.

[Cute overload.]

[voreaciously]

I'm not cute!

[but like more gargled than that because towa is A MENACE!]

[overworker]

You’re right—

[Wait for it.]

You’re adorable.

[voreaciously]

[ tries to slip free from the bullying on multiple fronts!! ]

[overworker]

[She will let you go, 80H, but it’s too late. She’s already seen how cute you are.]

Sorry, sorry—

[But she’s giggling so she’s not that sorry.]

[voreaciously]

Please do not lie to my face, Miss Herschel.

[overworker]

No, no-- I am sorry for causing you any distress.

[...]

But I'm not sorry that I got to see such a cute new side of you.

[voreaciously]

If only you did.

[she's not cute]

[overworker]

Awww don't take that from me!

[She worked hard for that!!]

[voreaciously]

It is taken, my apologies. You cannot get it back.

[overworker]

That’s unnecessarily cruel!!

[voreaciously]

I never claimed to be nice.

[ohohoh]

In fact, I have emphatically argued the opposite.

[overworker]

Heehee. Not at all. I had fun.

[And now she knows. Towa will remember this.]

Besides, it’s hard to take that seriously after you were kind enough to go out of your way to compliment me earlier.

[voreaciously]

Facts are not kindness, I was only speaking honestly.

[overworker]

That’s not true. Aesthetics are a matter of perception— beauty is in the eye of the beholder... right?

[voreaciously]

Even so, that does not make it a kindness to point out the obvious.

[overworker]

I-I wouldn’t call that obvious.

[Don’t attack her like this.]
