[only Odile has that goss and it's "two day impressions" goss so he does not think it is worth bringing up--]

I think I'm the kind of person who needs more than just four days.

[which is also not a lie!]

[scooptimistic]

I think a lot of us are. But I think even having a strong first impression can be important in a game like this.

[ Just to get a foot in. ]

[ordimame]

[HAH. . .]

So you want to know my "strong impressions?" I hope you're asking that question with the intention of sharing yours.

[scooptimistic]

I can tell you as much, but they're all fairly level at the moment.

[ordimame]

So are mine. So let's hear it!

[scooptimistic]

I think we've got a strong mix of people looking for love and people looking for... well, their desires granted. Regardless of what you believe.

[ Yes, she knows he thinks the wish is bullshit. ]

But I really do like everyone. Ringo and I are a lot alike, so she's easy to get along with and she's always eager to try new things. Shoko's also really great and I can tell she's going to be an amazing drinking buddy; I get the feeling she can deescalate a situation like no one's business. Nico's enthusiasm and occasional masochism for what he loves [ garlic bread ] are completely relatable, and him being a vampire doesn't change that for me. Poppy's really cute and expressive and makes video games, which is awesome.

[ A breath. ]

Yingying really seems to like unbalancing others, but it's not mean-spirited and of course we both know she's gorgeous. Shindou-san is really fascinating to talk to and has a pretty solid head on his shoulders, even if his smile is a little crooked. Odile doesn't take any shit and also tells really interesting stories about where she's traveled, though she does feel more like a cool aunt to me. Furina is full of passion and thoughtfulness and we're definitely due a movie marathon, because I'd love to get more of her thoughts. It feels like she's also a romantic. Luka's one big mystery but I really like his confidence. Yi Sang feels like he's one step away from being understood, but I need to put some work in there--from what I've noticed, he's very kind, just hesitant about it.

[ ANOTHER BREATH. ]

Serpilia's pretty and really great to converse with, so I'm looking forward to talking to her more! You like to think things out, but you're also a romantic, and I respect someone who can come on this show and stick to his ideals. There's more to Aventurine than meets the eye and I think we've all realized that by now, but he's dazzling in a way beyond his words and I don't think he sees that. Verso is charming but careful about it, which tells me he's got a lot of depth to him that I'm not sure if he's ready to show us yet. And Messmer may be a giant guy with snakes but I think there's something to be said about how he's still willing to speak with everyone and doesn't just try to leave a conversation immediately. I actually think he has a sense of humor.

So! There you have it!

[ordimame]

[oh]






[OH SHE HAS PUT WAY MORE THOUGHT INTO THIS THAN HE HAS]

Wow, Maya. . .

You're really considerate. It's impressive.

[scooptimistic]

You think? I just really admire the differences in people.

[ Is that weird. ]

[ordimame]

[no! it's not!!!]

Yeah, but to notice them and then talk about them so openly-- it's nice, that's all.

[scooptimistic]

Thanks! I guess it's the journalist in me.

[ She likes to learn. ]

[ordimame]

It must be. They do say the best journalists have good instincts.

. . . I can't say my thoughts are nearly as comprehensive as yours.

[scooptimistic]

They don't have to be comprehensive. They just have to be yours.

[anathemaw]

... Thy heart burns remarkable, to speak so of these strangers.

[ messmer is impressed. ]

[scooptimistic]

Strangers have the most potential of all, when you think about it. They can become an enemy, an ally, a close friend, or even a lover.

I'm just lucky enough that everyone's turned out to be great, in a bunch of different ways! So I'll take credit where it's due, but this is just all based off observation and interaction.

[ Her heart, huh. ]

[anathemaw]

[ such an open, enthusiastic perspective. He's never felt that way about meeting anyone. In a way, he's envious, though it doesn't come through his voice, weary and cool as ever. ]

I pray thy view of the world lay untainted.

[scooptimistic]

After everything I've experienced, I don't think anything can do that if that didn't.

[ A little quieter than her usual exuberance, though she does say it with a trace of a smile. ]

[irreversal]

[ She gets a thumbs up from Shoko from whatever wall she's leaning against. You're doing great, bestie!! ]

[scooptimistic]

[ A thumbs up in return!!

Thanks! That was a lot of talking! ]

[irreversal]

[ Later, though, when Maya's not caught up in real discussion with the others— ]

You're really something else, Maya. I can see how you've done really well for yourself as a journalist.

[scooptimistic]

Mm? Was it something I said?

[ Just that whole big BLOCK-- ]

[irreversal]

Heh. You know exactly what I'm referring to. You even have me reconsidering some folks. That's the kind of power you have, huh?

[reverso]

[Perceived again]

[scooptimistic]

[ ehe ]

[gamboler]

[ gently with feeling: what the fuck ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Wow. A girl answers a question and this happens. ]
