I texted you, didn't I? I was curious. [ and while grace isn't entirely convinced the avatars aren't the station version of nulls, well, she has learned to roll with it. also maybe not all nulls she is still judging that one, don't make me explain horrible train logic. anyway: ] The others had a lot to say about you.
[ grace didn't like, ask, but she overheard Some things. ]
Opening statements? It's not a debate. [ she leans against a nearby. idk wall or the piano, casual ] You might not need to get to know me, but I don't know anything about you besides the complaints from the others.
Oh, that? [ :)? ] That was nothing, it was just a test. Takeru and I wanted to see what would happen if you made a mess without destroying anything. Besides, soda's not nearly as bad as some of the other stuff people did, is it? At least it wasn't rotten produce. Or cheese. Or raw meat. Or whatever happened with the elevator.
Perhaps those with an underdeveloped taste, I'm sure. [they're bad! it seems as though it's easier for greed to respond rather than offer things up on their own, especially given they finish their tea and set their cup aside before answering her.]
The latter. [they shrug with both hands. they actually don't seem that mad now.] I would prefer those with my symbol know a bit of refinement in their indulgence.
Yes, but there's more to it than that. It isn't just in wanting everything for yourself, but the means of obtaining it and how far you're willing to go for it.

Am I to assume the complaints are what actually brought you here? A curiosity born from second-hand information.
no subject
[ it's the most natural way to have a conversation, and she shrugs ]
It was part of it! I'm wearing "your" symbol, so of course I've been curious before that.
no subject
I see you've already begun to make yourself at home here.
no subject
Like I said, you may know about me, but I don't know about you. [ and then she shrugs ] Isn't it the point of this place anyway? To indulge ourselves?

[ she could go on. ]
no subject
It's equally terrible considering the delicate equipment that mustn't get wet. Especially when it's sticky.
[NONE OF YOU ARE FREE OF SIN.]

[ she could at least pretend to apologize, but: ]
I promise it won't happen again. It's no good if things don't just reset, anyway.
no subject
As written in the guide, you are responsible for your own messes. Keep that in mind next time.
no subject
[ "what about the other rooms" grace can do without those. anyway; ]
I will, I will. No need to hold a grudge, I just didn't know any better. And I'll make sure Takeru leaves this room alone too.
no subject
But I suppose that's all I can ask. Thank you. [...they seem to be unsure of how to continue the conversation though. help.]
no subject
[ grace is fine to shit on the movies. they're bad. but the lingering silence makes her smile a little, tilting her head ]
Did meeting all the others with this symbol go so poorly you expected more of a fight, or was it just because you were mad about the soda thing?
no subject
The latter. [they shrug with both hands. they actually don't seem that mad now.] I would prefer those with my symbol know a bit of refinement in their indulgence.
no subject
Refined indulgence seems a bit contradictory to me, to be honest. Or did you just mean less messy?
no subject
I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you think greed is, Miss Monroe.

no subject
Yes, but there's more to it than that. It isn't just in wanting everything for yourself, but the means of obtaining it and how far you're willing to go for it.
no subject
Or, in this case, how far I'm willing to go for what I came here for?

[ with her. ]
no subject
Yes. Indulge enough, and the prize is yours. Only putting in some of the effort won't do. Think of this as all or nothing.
