	I see, I see. Transcending levels. How will I be able to gauge your coolness? Hrmmm. [Blink.] Elvira, yay or nay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm also the least cool. :D But I do like Elvira. Who doesn't like Elvira? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Being uncool is cool. Good lord you found out my formula! There's plenty of people! Most don't know who she is and the rest don't care for her valley girl accent and boob window. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been spying on all your secrets. Lame. They obviously don't know what they're missing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	Impossible! My secrets are locked tight. Okay, you passed the first level of coolness. I will now administer niceness. Hello. I think I've heard about you from the other library regulars. What are you currently studying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soundofwings 2015-09-14 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Sure they are. ;) Ooh, niceness. It's super effective. I don't know if I can believe that a robot ref knows the library regulars. That said, History, Classics, and Philosophy. Or at least I will be once I convince them to place me out of all the gen-reqs. You? Robot wars 101? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The winky face is literally killing me. I love the library! Sure, I get in trouble for being loud sometimes, but I try to be good. I try my best :( [Blink, blink.] History sounds great. I study it on the side. [Blink.] I'm doing a double major in business and computer science. Pretty cool, I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soundofwings 2015-09-14 02:50 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry? [...] Dark hair and glasses? [Laugh.] I think you're the first person to tell me they like history even a little bit. Everyone else, their eyes usually start to glaze over the second I tell them. [...] That's going to be a pretty big courseload. [Ignoring the fact that so is hers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 02:55 pm UTC (link)
	[Blink.] ~~Crap~~ [Blink.] I don't know. I had this weird, nice reaction to it. [Blink.] Sorry, things have been weird lately. Ignore me. That's me. [Blink, blink.] How can you not like history? What era are you focusing on? [Blink, blink.] So says Miss Nerd over here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soundofwings 2015-09-14 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! Killing you in a nice way. [...] No, it's okay. They have been. Are. Whatever. Nice to meet you. And to put a name to the loud face. :D [...] It's like Elvira. Ancient civilizations. Greece, Rome, Egypt. [Ha!] Takes one to know one. :P (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	Your emoticon use is charming. It's not my fault. Har, har. [Blink, blink.] Interesting. There's something almost mythical about those eras, don't you think? [Blink.] I'll be honest, I've never even been to a party. I'm that nerdy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soundofwings 2015-09-14 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	It's my only charming quality. I have to milk it for all it's worth. There is. That's part of why I like it. The times when it seems like real life was more intertwined with stories. [...] Me neither ~~I don't think~~. It's okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	Whenever people say they have only one charming quality, it's usually not true. They have loads. What do you like more? The stories or the reality? [Blink, blink.] I'm sorry I gave you a hard time. You should come. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	soundofwings 2015-09-14 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	What if this time is the exception that proves the rule? :D I like both. You can't have one without the other. [Smile.] It's okay. I was giving you a hard time too. I wasn't actually planning on going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	I'd bet my bottom dollar that's not true. Myth can't exist without truth and truth is really way more interesting with a little myth. [Blink, blink.] What? No, you have to go. This is Wayne Manor! I bet I could find you some legit rare books. Stuff you've never seen before! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It might be true. :)

You're right. In this case, to be more specific, you can't have the stories without the culture of the civilization for them to grow in. And the culture of the civilization would be drastically different without the stories it tells. [...Smile.] I can find rare books in the library, too. And it'd probably be [...] less pe [...]

[...facepalm.] I'm not really a party animal. I guess that's a good way to put it.

	Now you're just using the smileys against me. Can the same be said about modern civilization? Places like Gotham? [Blink, blink.] You don't have to be running around with a lampshade on your head to have a good time. Actually, I think Bruce would prefer it that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	:) ;) >;) :P :D That's a little outside what I've been studying so far, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Maybe we just don't see it as much because we don't have the perspective of time yet. [Little laugh.] I was told that I need a wild night. I'm not really sure that's in my wheelhouse, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	deaded That's pretty much my life story right now. [Blink, blink.] You need a wild night that caters to your interests. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Laugh!] :* [She draws in the kissy smile without even thinking about it and then blushes nearly enough to start her face on fire and colors it out completely, a very solid, very black circle.

And a slight pause before she can continue.]

Being a little outside what you're studying? Or needing the perspective of time on something? [...] :D That's not the way she made it sound. I was under the impression it should be a pretty standard definition of "wild night".

[His cursor goes !! and his ears turn bright pink. Awkward flailing during the pause and he's fine pretending none of that happened. Though, naturally, he wants to keep talking to her.]

The perspective of time. I keep getting weird messages and this feeling like there's this whole world that exists, but I can't access it because I'm too young. It's too early in my origin story. [Blink, blink.] My idea of a wild night is a robot death battle or ghost hunting. I don't think that's standard at all.

[Pulling up the hood of her hoodie and yanking on the strings for a while so that only her nose and one eye shows through the opening. Dying. But when the book doesn't explode on her, she loosens the strings again.

...] Weird messages like what? Can I be nosy? ~~Things don't feel right, but I don't know what it is.~~ ~~There's stuff I think I should be able to remember, but I don't~~ ~~Where am I even from? Crap, I can't say that to someone~~ [...] So you're saying tomorrow's going to be wild for you? I saw the thing about the robots tomorrow. [Stare.] Ghost hunting?

I'm used to getting weird messages from ghosts or spirits. Things written on walls, riddles that I need to solve. But this [Blink.] it was Santa Muerte. Telling me that she was worried about me. I've never spoken to a saint before. I'm not that kind of medium. [Blink, blink.] Oh, yes. Well, tomorrow is more of a performance than anything. I'm not just the ref, I'm in charge of making sure it's a good show for everyone. It has to be entertaining or why even show up to a robot battle? [Blink, blink.] And, ghost hunting is more of a personal hobby. I've been able to speak to them since my mom died.

	[. . .] You get messages from spirits? [A pause as she reads through the rest of it. Across Gotham, indoors and out, a breeze picks up, a draft goes through. It lasts just long enough for her to pull her hoodie closer around herself.] Oh. I'm [...] sorry. About your mom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterenigma 2015-09-14 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	I'm "gifted" if that's what you want to call it. [Blink, blink. He shivers at the sudden wind (which makes no sense because he's inside) and then the cursor blinks.] It's okay. She died when I was pretty young. [Blink.] I talk to her all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
