[ What does one do after the Cordis cycle, after a tiring few days? Stay in bed and... post because she has nothing better to do. She will be judging everyone. ]

Out of curiosity, how many of you are looking for moonlacing partners? I mean, you could probably just ask a friend or something, but for the more available, what do you have to offer that makes you stand out from the others who are looking for partners?

Show a picture of yourself and what you're looking for. I'll provide a sample.

NAME Reyvenne
AGE 53
LOOKING FOR I need a lot of money. A LOT. I'm a bandit but I don't want to live a life of crime here so I'm going to need to moonlace with at least 30 people a month. 
OFFERING What. You don't think I'm hot?

((Feel free to advertise your chars or someone else!! Here's the code:

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ She doesn't expect anyone to think of her at all, since she doesn't share anything but the worlds they get trapped in, but it does sting her to hear that Robin's never mentioned her to his Master who- he quite frequently brought up to her and who they even spoke about. ]

I know he does that. But I just told you, he mentioned nothing of any of this at all. I didn't even know what sort of Master you were supposed to be until Karna told me about it. Here. In a completely different world.

Maybe it's my fault for not pressing, but considering we knew each other for a near five moons and saw each other regularly— like everything else, I'd expect it to come from him, not anyone else.

[ She's willing to admit her failing, but she refuses to take the blame when he's the one who should be telling her things considering how their relationship progressed. ]

... and he just told me to call him nanpa hunter. What does that even mean?

[It’s okay, Megumi. It’s probably because he’d rather chew his own arm off than actually tell Hakuno anything about Duplicity.]

Robin is a surprisingly private person. He just hides it by being charismatic and funny to distract you. That’s why what he does decide to say can be so important. I have the benefit of having known him for almost my entire life, and I still need to work hard to learn more about him. It’s not anybody’s fault I don’t think; different people just value things differently.

You don’t have the context because you don’t have Servants in your world, I assume, but they’re usually summoned to participate in a Holy Grail War. And knowing any Servant’s name during one of those can mean the difference between life and death. It’s not as dire here or back home now, but that’s the sort of importance it can have, depending on a given Servant’s values.

It’s a type of flirt who indiscriminately hits on girls in the hope of getting lucky and finding one who will flirt back, I think. What the heck is he up to...?

All of that is really just going over my head, lass- [ But she is retaining it because what else can she do— It's not like Robin will tell her anything. She's going to kick him off his goddamn tree for that, maybe. ] But if it's as important as you say, then shouldn't they be introducing themselves by a different name in the first place?

[ And that explanation makes her twitch at Robin. ]

... I'd like to know the same thing. Not that he'll ever explain himself! Ah this is frustrating. Are you a fan of sweets, lass?

Some do! Back home, there’s someone who just goes by “Nameless” for instance. And here I think he’s mostly just using “Robin,” or at least he is at work. For Servants, the only thing that they always get to keep is their identity. Different people treasure that in different ways. I have another Servant who whipped out his True Name within five minutes of us meeting, which was really odd.

The biggest. I’m eating shortcake right now, actually.

[She attaches a short short clip.]

Fancy that. Wonder why he'd give me his name, then, but I can't pretend I understand his motivations. I just match them with my own instead.

[ Which is the best way to go about it, sooner or later what he really wants comes out. ]

And that looks delicious. Figured I'd just invite you over to this nice café sampling we're doing in a few. See?

[ And she'll attach one of the knights' designed desserts for good measure. ]

He's definitely not choosing to use it widely here, so it was probably something special about that other city. Maybe it got publicized before he met you? You'd have to ask him, honestly. And what he's willing to say on any given topic is a gamble.

[Holy. Smokes!!!]

I would love to!! That looks gorgeous.

[ Or maybe he thought she wouldn't know of it and was safe to tell. Who knows at this point, but she lets it go, focusing on Hakuno's excitement for the dessert for now. ]

It's cute, isn't it? We're looking for a place to set up our cafe again and trying out some new snacks to raise morale. There are still a few desserts here, and I wouldn't want them going to waste. Come on by the apartments [ at this location ] and try some, okay?

It’s as pretty as something Nameless would make! What time is okay for me to visit?

Now would be good! See you there soon, alright?

[ Hakuno's going to get all the sweets ever! ]

Absolutely!

[And Megumi's going to get a personal apology for how accusing and brusque text made this all sound as a medium.]
