[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!]

I think the difference here is that I would want you to see that comment, to deter anything happening in the future, to myself or others. :)

If it helps, I certainly don't want anyone dead.

Your reasoning though... makes it sound more like that was your plan all along? Because it does seem to be working for making more people talk to her, I guess? [At least it had for her: she'd never heard of either of these two before today.]

[onlythans]

that's certainly an interesting perspective to take on the matter, "to myself or others". are you always defensive about anything you ever see happening to another person, for fear it might be repeated on yourself? seems rather a stressful way to live a life.

is that why you're interested in my motives? trying to figure out why i targeted who i did?

[...She doesn't like that he's figured her out as fast as he has, or that he's making her feel like a chronic do-gooder which she is.]

Well, in a world where we've all been dragged out of nowhere to a strange city, we have to look out for each other, right?

And she- you, mentioned knowledge and learning, and I like that, at least, so I would want to try to be friends?

Well... yes. Finding out whether it was malevolent or just someone you were already friends with was something I was curious about. It looked so much like some sort of school prank.
