And I'm guessing you're not, huh? Since you didn't know about acting. No judgment - I'm not, either!

So what's fun for you?

[allomantic]

I don't think the nobility does that, either.

[she gives a shrug, though.]

Keeping active, I guess.

[dms]

Mm, but they must have some kind of entertainment.

[ not that he's expecting vinny to know since she isn't nobility! anyway. ]

You mean like working out? You were so fast before, I could totes see you winning a marathon!

[allomantic]

Balls, mostly.

[a little shrug.]

Not necessarily exercise, just... Not remaining too idle.

[that's not a pastime but sure]

[dms]

Oh, that does sound kind of fun? I've never been to one before - just regular school dances or mixers, but that's not really the same.

Still cool! There's a lot you could do to keep busy. Do you dance?

[allomantic]

What is... school?

[i feel seasons in this thread tonight

but anyways, she shrugs.]

I used to.

[dms]

Eh? You mean they don't have school where you're from, either?! [ wild?! ] It's a place you go to learn things. Like math, and language, and science. All kinds of stuff!

Yeah? What kind of dances did you do? You don't seem like a waltz kind of person, but I think it'd be cute if you tried.

[allomantic]

Don't they have libraries for that?

[she shrugs, even more awkward after he says it would be cute.]

I don't do it anymore.

[dms]

Yeah, but sometimes it helps to have a teacher to explain things, so you're not just on your own in figuring things out.

Aw, why not? Did you get bored of it, or what?

[allomantic]

Is learning about math and science that important?

[...]

It doesn't really matter.

[dms]

Depends on who you ask! If you work in finances or engineering, that stuff's totally crucial. But since I'm an artist, I don't really need it so much.

...I guess not. I'm just curious about all our new friends, you know? Maybe we could come up with some icebreakers so everyone has things to talk about.

[allomantic]

Engineering... Oh, like building things? Crow mentioned it.

[she pauses as i, eli, close my eyes.]

I am not your friend.

[dms]

Yeah, like that! Buildings, machines, tools - you name it! I think they do a lot of inventing new things, too, but if I'm honest, I don't know a ton about that kind of stuff.

Uwah, so cold! But it's kind of cute, though!

[allomantic]

[screams internally]

I am not cute.

[dms]

Do you prefer "mysterious?" Because you're totes that, too. It makes you really interesting - draws me right in!

[allomantic]

Why are you saying this?

[says miss cannot take a compliment to save her life]

[dms]

I can't just keep thoughts like this to myself! The world deserves to know!

What, you don't think you have an air of mystery?

[allomantic]

The world isn't here. Nobody else is listening.

[shrugging once more. how many times can one girl shrug.]

I try to keep out of things, I guess.

[dms]

But this has to be some place in the world, right? Then it ought to appreciate you!

Haha, that's valid, though. Not everyone likes being the center of attention. But something about you had to be interesting enough for you to be brought here with the rest of us.

[allomantic]

...You think we were brought here because we're interesting? Why?

[dms]

I mean, there has to be something about each of us that caught someone's attention, right? Otherwise, why would we have been brought here at all? Whoever did this must want us here for something.

[allomantic]

...It's discomforting to think about that, honestly.

[dms]

It is, right?! It's like we've all got stalkers! Fans are one thing, but yikes!

[allomantic]

Stalkers?

[dms]

You know, people who follow you around and try get all kinds of info on you? Sometimes they're harmless, probably awkward people with a crush, but sometimes they're actually pretty dangerous! Legit scary!
