[voice] A stormy question
[Hello Luceti, is the nice little ice storm distracting you from post-Valentine's woes? Don't worry, here's a grumpy marine asking questions to painfully reminds you all.]
Seeing as we're all stuck inside -- [Once again, an usually feminine voice from Smoker's journal account.] -- I've got a question for everyone affected by the event.
Are there normally lines you won't cross in relationships that the Malnosso seem to cross for you? Or do they seem to take those into consideration instead? Since they seem to know us pretty well, it begs the question whether they're using our weaknesses, or if it's completely random.
And if anyone needs help out there in the storm, let me know. This weather is good practice.
[ooc: and feel free to threadjump like the dickens. It might be the only time Smoker keeps quieter than not, seeing as he's a girl now.]

[voice.]
Done at random then?
[voice.]
I assume so. You really can n-never tell when it comes to these things. Random people th-that you'd never even regard as having romantic feelings for, or even close people you know you shouldn't have such feelings for. People that if you did would make things infinitely more complicated.
[ A sigh. not to mention he can't have such feelings after said experiment ends...it's just a messy busy and he really should have left town before it hit. ] I think they do it purely out of amusement.
[voice.]
I would assume it's from amusement, but in that case, do they purposely cross or blur lines or is it random? I'm looking for patterns in other words.
Re: [voice.]
I-I believe for some people it happened between them and other people they were rather close with. I'm not sure if that helps at all. But then some people weren't affected at all. Random seems to be the best bet. Though in terms of patterns, if there are any, I haven't seen any to be honest. [ Hm. ]
Especially since some people get affected almost all the time and then sometimes don't.
[voice.]
[Drums his fingers.]
[voice.]
[ Helios is doing the same thing. ] Ah! Maybe you could...ask for people to respond anonymously? M-Maybe some people are just a bit...shy or a-awkward in answering such things.
[voice.]
Tsk. Unfortunately. [Never mind that Smoker is one of them.] Though it's hardly anyone's fault. Except the Shift's.
[voice.]
You are right. It-it hardly falls upon the people involved about what h-happened between people last week. But still... [ he can't help but feel slightly guilty over it. ]
[voice.]
[Unless of course, it wasn't the shift for him which is sort of the problem.]
And for some people, the things the Malnosso could have done would have been worse... though not for all of them. [Exasperated sigh. So many exceptions to each side, maybe it was random.]
[voice.]
Oh but you're absolutely right. This is hardly the worse they have done before. [ Sadly. ]
[voice.]
True enough. At least it wasn't someone you hate?
[voice.]
[voice.]
[voice.]
It-it just made things slightly awkward when everything went back to normal, is all.
[voice.]
[Sort of something bugging Smoker as well.] I mean if someone winds up in a relationship here, but the other side goes away, are they just supposed to wait indefinitely for the person to come back?
[voice.]
[ It's a dreary thought but one he's been contemplating and keeping to himself since Giles returned back home. ]
[voice.]
[voice.]
[ More Malnossian humor, probably. ]
