[Hey, City network! What are you up to today? Having fun exploring the liminal spaces, reliving past memories, getting locked into vaults — or maybe just fucking around? Because apparently someone's in the mood for the latter.]

what's a girl got to do to get a little attention around here? ;)

[A short time after that initial post, a follow-up appears.]

because i certainly wouldn't mind being asked out for a meal and an evening in good company, myself. by someone worthy of the honor, of course; naturally, i'm a lady of discerning tastes.

[And then, a little bit later still: ]

takers must feel the unquenchable thirst of the pursuit of knowledge and be willing to participate in intellectual debate for bells on end. oh, and graciously accept defeat when i inevitably hand it to them. or don't — i'll best you at it whether you accept it or not. i'm ever so brilliant that way. how's that for sharing?

[OOC: If the content of this post sounds suspiciously unlike Y'shtola, that's because it isn't — Thancred (onlythans) and his sticky fingers have "borrowed" her network device for a short time. Responses will come from both Thancred and Y'shtola or possibly just Y'shtola after she murders Thancred in cold blood for this!]

( actually, this one's good. who knew anyone would actually take that particular bait. )

I almost wish you pressed him further for his insight on aetherology and its respective theories.

( she would've enjoyed reading that a little too much, probably. )

I meant to seek you out again, and now it seems we've more to discuss than I previously realized.

Ah, this explains things. A friend of yours?

And as I said to him, I shall say to you: I would be more than happy to discuss the matter at length. Preferably over tea, but I'm not opposed to giving any number of new beverages from this world a try either.

( there's only so many times this grump is willing to say 'yes this asshole is my friend'. but she's also not saying no? )

Have you found any in particular that grabbed your attention? In drink, I mean.

[nomoresharks]

I've tried a few of the "sodas" so far and found them quite delightful. The strawberry flavor in particular had a nice taste to it, assuming you prefer something sweet, that is.

I've been eying some of the varieties of alcohol as well, but I haven't a clue where to start. I've never seen so many in one place before.

[And since there's no other Ancients here to get on him for indulging himself, he's going to indulge himself in whatever he finds as much as he likes.]
