"Nah, not at all!" the male stammered as his feet clicked against the ground, the diligent stature that demanded itself to be so prominent against the other male. Jimmy wasn’t sure what to expect with this, but the gun that was slung around his own arm was most likely wait gained the latter’s attention. A cheeky smile rose across the corners of his lips that stretched to form into such. "Names Jimmy - .. you are..?"

[moushin]

Jimmy. Right. Saito tilts his head to take in the details of the gun between the man's fingers, but then he decides not to ask any brash questions. He reminds himself--if he does anything wrong, he could very well be shot, as amicable as this man seems to be currently. And when you're shot in reality, you don't come back.

"Ryuichi," he answers, giving his first name and clearing his throat. "... I'll assume you have a very eccentric hobby, Mr. Jimmy."

♕ –⊱ The limited time she spent with her father had given her far more knowledge than she picked up in her rather long life. Eyes drop briefly as a shy smile paints her face,  “Age has nothing to do with widsom.” Just because others are often younger than her she’s not always as wise as them.

[moushin]

"Ah," Saito muses, nodding his head. "That is true. I can live more than a hundred years and retain the same knowledge I once had as a young man..."

It comes to him again--the time when he'd been stuck in a dream. He can recall it vividly: how he'd lived to his nineties in his mind, building an empire and making memories that no longer mattered. Saito is very tired, but there is nothing he can hope to do.

So he shakes his head, instead. "Perhaps you've had your fair share of adventure."

“Well aren’t you a bright man. It’s called a fruit and vegetable smoothie. Do you wanna try it?”

[moushin]

"Not at all."

"It has a more porridge consistency than... 'smoothie'."

"That does make me wonder why it is being alone is often perceived as something sad."

[archivedexsovietspy-deactivated]

Well, I’ll have to bring that up with our supervisor. 

[ She smiled politely. ] Would you like something to drink? 

[moushin]

Ah--yes, thank you. [Dipping his head, he offers her a small smile of his own.]

This place is really far more impressive than it looks from the outside.

قتال أنثى ______  "If payment allows me to be, yes. Seeing as my pockets are empty, that’s likely a no."

"Payment."

"Now that's an interesting way to meet people, isn't it?"

        “Is it—are you—Feng, it’s been years…”

[moushin]

The recognition in her eyes--or rather, the blind hope in it--is something that's unmistakable. And yet Saito doesn't know her at all.

"Feng," he repeats, pronouncing the word almost languidly. "Is that... my name?"

[moushin]

i'll reply to all my threads tomorrow, promise.

i'm just too emotionally compromised to do them today.

I really don’t know what ‘I love you’ means. I think it means ‘Don’t leave me here alone.’

[ She looked at him, eyebrow raised and she tried to figure out what to say. ] 

What do you think might be causing it? 

[moushin]

I am no engineer.

But it seems less like there is something wrong with the wiring and more like something machine-related.

"As wise as ever, Mr. Saito. Yes, living a quieter life does have some advantages. The chances of it being longer, for one."

"I’ve finished my studies. Working very slowly at climbing the rather steep ladder to be a proper architect."

[moushin]

"And we all certainly want a long life, don't we." He chuckles, but the sound is almost hollow. Saito has already lived far too long in Limbo, and sometimes he wonders how he hangs on at all.

"A proper architect, though, you say? So you have gone into the business of designing structures and buildings officially?"
