Good luck in finding those 'greater greater things'.

I thought they were wild birds. Is somebody responsible for them?

I don't know much about bridges, but it seems sturdy. Nobody's fallen through it yet.

[redotiertwo]

I will find the shit out of those greater greater things, you fucking watch. [And of course he is Incredibly Serious about this, as usual.]

If they came in to build, you have to at least figure that someone...rallied them, I guess, flocked them to the appropriate flocking place to start things off. And it's a damn fine bridge, so while I respect all birdly innovation I have to wonder if they had some kind of organization to follow.

[timeshields]

I will be. [And of course, she sounds just as blunt as ever.]

A bird worker union? Secrets of the bridge passed down for generations.

[redotiertwo]

Either a bird worker union or some god tuned in to the birdly wavelength, in which case I'd be solemnly duty-bound to track them down and gauge exactly how tuned in they really are.

[Phrased like the absolute serious business it is, of course. Davesprite can't have people mistreating his avian brethren or giving them a bad name.]

[timeshields]

If you're concerned enough you could track them down. Or maybe ask Orihime about those birds, it's the bridge to her lover, after all.

[redotiertwo]

Assuming I actually see Orihime tonight, I will ask the shit out of her on behalf of all birdkind.

[Or at least the part of birdkind that had to do with building the bridge.]

[timeshields]

Live those bird dreams.

[She sure won't stop him.]

[redotiertwo]

And you live...whatever unbirdly dreams you have too, I guess. I don't even know what it is you have planned for tonight.

[As good a deadpanning partner as she is, Davesprite doesn't really get the vibe that Homura is a particularly festival-y sort of person.]

[timeshields]

Souji and Nanako wanted to come.

[And thus she's here.]

[redotiertwo]

I mean, that's cool and all, but you can also. You know. Do stuff and maybe even enjoy it. They'd probably be happy for you if you care enough about them to have showed up to this just because of it.

[It seems kind of sad to be at something like this exclusively for the reasons of following around her god.]

[timeshields]

[Eh, she just shrugs it off. She doesn't mind it.]

I found them gifts. Does that count?

[redotiertwo]

It's a nice gesture, don't get me wrong, but it's still not really doing a thing just for you.

[He doesn't feel like he's the best person to be trying to get through to her on this, but oh well.]

[timeshields]

... What do you do just for yourself?

[redotiertwo]

Stuff you like, I guess. If you don't have stuff you like, then you try things until you do. It might be eating certain foods, or playing certain games. Or even watching the scenery if you're into that sort of thing.

[Honestly, Davesprite has no real idea what Homura would be interested in, so he's casting a wide net.]

[timeshields]

Oh... hobbies?

Souji and I were going to go fishing.

[redotiertwo]

[Thank god, she actually understands the concept. Davesprite was getting worried there for a moment.]

Yeah, that sounds more like it. Didn't take you for the fishing type, but hey, if you're into that then it's not my business.

[timeshields]

[She had to ask around on the BBS, but eventually.]

I don't know if I am. We haven't tried it yet.

[redotiertwo]

It's kinda boring, if I'm being real. Mostly sitting around on your ass waiting for a theoretical fish to bite your lure, and that's only worth anything if you're awake enough to catch the fucker when it does.

[It's basically entirely made up of theoretical fish when he thinks about it, because chances are most people aren't going to make the step to getting an actual fish out of it.]

[timeshields]

Have you gone fishing?

[That kind of sounds like a good, calm time to her but she hasn't tried it herself yet.]

[redotiertwo]

No, but I watched a guy fishing at that beach party. It was still pretty boring.

[Obviously watching someone fish and actually fishing himself is definitely the same thing.]

[timeshields]

There's a difference between watching somebody and doing it yourself.

[redotiertwo]

Fair, but it's the principle of the thing. I'm not saying you can't like it, anyway. Your god would know you better than I do, so he's the better judge and he suggested it, right.

[So, in theory, Homura might secretly be a really boring person. Who knew...]

[timeshields]

He did say it wasn't for everyone. I'll at least try it.

[In reality she never actually had a hobby. Except for breaking and entering into the yakuza and stealing all their weapons.]

[redotiertwo]

Hey, at least he knows his shit, then. And it's a start anyway, since I'm pretty sure otherwise you'd have trouble identifying a hobby if it slapped you in the face at speed. No offense.

[But it's totally true and Davesprite can't really not point it out at this juncture.]

[timeshields]

I asked the network about it once. I know some hobbies.

[But people had to tell her about all of them and none of them quite felt 'right'.]
