Well, I was going to ask about giant cakes that women jump out of, since that came up in conversation and I really don't understand the concept, but maybe that's too narrow a question to be a good network post.

So, that's question one. Question two:

Meeting all the people from other worlds in this tower... The best part of this bad experience is the way people you meet can change you and your way of thinking. If you don't mind - you can be anonymous if you want - could you share some things about the people you've met and the friendships you've formed?

... You want a stripper?

[Pause.]

And why're you signing your posts?

Text

[alephbet]

Stripper?

I like using my full name. It's nice.

Text

[technologic]

Yeah, a stripper. At least, that's what Chelly told me.

And you do?

Text

[alephbet]

I don't really get what those are either.

Yeah. It has your name in it, it's the best.

Text

[technologic]

It's someone, usually a girl, who dances and takes some or all of their clothes off.

... You really like my surname that much?

Text

[alephbet]

Oh.

I'd rather just have a really big cake.

Why shouldn't I? It's yours.

Text

[technologic]

I'm not sure if you would be able to find someone who would want to jump out of a cake anyway.

Oh. I never used to like my surname, but now it doesn't sound too bad.

Text

[alephbet]

I was just curious, really.

Aleph April-Sinclair doesn't sound right.

Text

[technologic]

Yeah, that's true. Though I'm still surprised that you took on my surname, since I thought you were gonna keep your name the same.

Text

[alephbet]

Isn't having the same surname what you do when you're married?

Text

[technologic]

That's right. But

[Pause.]

I dunno, I guess where I hated it before, I didn't think you would take it. Though now it's impossible to hate it.

Text

[alephbet]

I don't have one to give you instead, and I like this tradition. I can stop if it bothers you.

Text

[technologic]

It doesn't bother me at all, though. It actually makes me very happy! And it's a nice reminder of how we really are married now.

[axeforasong]

Oh! Oh!

I met nations and a space alien! Hmm... actually, several space aliens? Had to kick one in the shin. And there was a magic swordgirl and a tiny vampire I wound up poisoning. And a super-cool detective lady and an evil old man except he wasn't evil and an other old guy who could beat up everyone with his cane... [HMM. WHO ELSE...]

[alephbet]

You have a pretty exciting social life, don't you?

[Those all sound like interesting people.]

[axeforasong]

Was fun! [...and it was more like 'we were all stuck in the same room because we'd died' but still]

[alephbet]

I think if you meet lots of different kinds of people, you learn more than if they're all the same.

[axeforasong]

Of course you would. Alls the same, learns the same, yes? [it's why she left her little lumberjacking village she wanted to seee the wooorld~]

[alephbet]

Yeah. Different people from different places are more exciting, too.

[axeforasong]

Exactly, exactly!

[to be fair, it is actually a good idea for Mayu to expand her horizons. Because before the horizon was 'axes']

[alephbet]

So, can I ask you for your name?

[axeforasong]

...Yes? [YOU'RE MEANT TO ASK ABOUT THAT? SHIT SHE'S BEEN DOING THIS WRONG]

[alephbet]

What's your name?

[pfff Mayu]

[axeforasong]

Mayu!

[alephbet]

That's a cute name. Nice to meet you, Mayu.
