I shall ascertain that my name is not so easily forgotten in the future. But fear not. My arrival is quite recent.

I am indeed Mona, Mona Lisa. It is a pleasure to meet you, Kagerou.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

You should blame my memory in this instance, I think. But I never forget a name twice, at least.

It is nice to meet you, too. Have you been to the bar? It's been a bit busy, so I may not have caught every new face, but.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

That is encouraging to hear.

I have been there once thus far. I am not a heavy drinker, but I do enjoy a glass of wine from time to time. Are you often there?

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I work there, so yes, I am. I don't really drink, either. But we do offer each newborn a free drink, if you haven't had that yet.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

I was not aware of this. I will accept this drink with my thanks. Perhaps this Friday will do well, if we are not all turned into these sheep that wander about.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone's turning into a sheep. They're just following us around.

Well, then I will most likely be the red-haired girl behind the bar. Please come say hello then?

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

I meant to say that the ways of this place are at this time beyond my ability to predict them.

I shall, Kagerou.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I don't know how good you are at predictions, but if you ever manage to master that, you'll be more clever than anyone I know here.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

I know not either. I believe I am clever, but I do not know that I am that clever.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, you could be surprised to learn just what you can do. That happens to people a lot, too.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

So I have heard. I look forward to perhaps one day discovering more about my own capabilities.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I wish I had some advice to offer that didn't consist of "Get in trouble and hope for the best." That was rather what happened to me.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

Fear not. It is effective enough; I understand the concept. And I believe I shall take you up on that.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

If you have a getaway sorted out, I suppose it's one approach.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

It is most unwise not to have an escape route planned when one is attempting something risky.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

The problem with the Sphere really is that trouble doesn't generally come with a warning. So you'd have to be on constant lookout for escape routes. But I'm sure they'd be helpful if you went looking for trouble.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

If we are to assume, A), that being in the Sphere is danger, and that B) looking into the Sphere is more danger, and C), that one must seek to constantly have an escape from danger, as A leads to B and leads to C, we must always be aware and ready, seeking.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

You never really get used to it, just accustomed, I think.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

You grow accustomed to constant danger? I suppose one can, but then adrenaline would become less and less effective.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Or maybe you grow accustomed to the idea that you will always be in danger if you do a number of specific things. It's more that.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

So it is not some nameless lingering doom. It is learned behavior.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Yes, you learn to be careful. Doing otherwise is [pause] well, dangerous. Sometimes very much so. You haven't run across these things yet? Some questions you shouldn't ask?

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

It seems I have not yet asked the correct questions. I must seek them all the more.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

[And just like that, you are now on Kagerou's watch list. XD]

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

I thank you.
