[voice] A stormy question

[justicereigns]

[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.]

Why wouldn't it be?

[voice.]

[folklorist]

B-Because! It's just...you've never seen someone that close before as, well, someone to be intimate with. A-And they might happen to have someone else they were close with that happened to be a very good friend of yours. But-but the goof friend has recently g-gone away for awhile. [ Or forever. ]

It-it just made things slightly awkward when everything went back to normal, is all.

[voice.]

[justicereigns]

What if the friend never comes back?

[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?

I-I don't know. I'm not sure how-how anyone could comeback from such a thing. But the prospect is always there and it certainly hasn't kept people from dating or, or forming relationships and the like. [ There's other possibilities too, ones that worse. ] And if they do comeback and yet they don't...remember.

[ It's a dreary thought but one he's been contemplating and keeping to himself since Giles returned back home. ]

[voice.]

[justicereigns]

Exactly. It's not like you can just pick up where you left off from such a thing.

[voice.]

[folklorist]

N-no you can't. It makes things...so very hard for people here. And yet...I wonder if they really expect us to, ah, not f-form such relationships with people here. Especially when they cause such...such experiments to occur.

[ More Malnossian humor, probably. ]

[voice.]

[justicereigns]

Maybe they just want a relationship to form and don't care about things like that. Since they don't care about anyone else's lines.
