[they do not lean forward, but they don't lean back so that's a start.]

I think it's important. Remembering things, paying attention to things most people would ignore...stuff like that.

[evocationary]

I think it is too. It makes people like you. Not that uh, that's the most important part about it, but people do like it when you remember the little things.

[a little smile.]

[guestservices]

I guess. I've never really been that concerned if people like me or not as long as I'm doing my job.

[it's still fairly neutral, but the smile does seem to keep the edge off.]

[evocationary]

That's also a good trait to have! Not caring what people think.

Is it always just about your job?

[guestservices]

I think there may be a difference between being concerned and caring. [...]

My job is what I'm good at, even if it's a job people don't understand or that may upset people later down the line. It's easier to focus on something that will be consistent.

[evocationary]

Hmm.

[she tilts her head a little.] The difference between concerned and caring?

[guestservices]

Yeah. There is a difference but I don't know if everyone knows it.

[evocationary]

Wanna let me in on the secret?

[guestservices]

Hmm...depends. Can you tell me why you want to know?

[evocationary]

I feel like it'll let me understand you a little better.

[guestservices]

[if lup is listening close enough, she may hear an intake of air, like they're ready to say something but then change their mind.]

...at a certain level, I'm pretty sure everyone cares what people think of them. Even if it just means acknowledging that people do or do not like you, or think you're dangerous, or think you're weak or whatever. It's not letting it stop you from other things that becomes the point of not being concerned about it. Does that make sense?

[evocationary]

[she does hear! she... notes it, for now.]

It does. I figured that's what you might have been getting at, I just wanted to make sure.

[guestservices]

Yeah. Now you know officially. [a light tone, even as they seem to pick at their gloves again.]

[evocationary]

[she tilts her head, watching them curiously.]

Hmm. I know that look. That's a this is going to be a fun conversation to think about when I look back in a month look.

[this is mostly teasing.]

[guestservices]

Very impressive when you can't even see my face, Lup.

[evocationary]

It's a vibe! You can have faces even when you're under a hood!

[guestservices]

What if I told you the reason we wear hoods is we don't have faces? It would be very insulting for you to assume our faces have vibes if they don't exist, not to mention insensitive.

[evocationary]

[she gives them a look.]

Vibes don't require faces, sassy. You can have the vibe of a face.

[guestservices]

Hm. [yes, they really do just go "hm."]

Have you assigned vibes to the rest of the staff already?

[evocationary]

Here and there, sure. You curious?

[guestservices]

Sure. A little.

[evocationary]

Hmm. Aquila's got a party vibe. Cetus has a shy vibe, Vulpecula is a bit ditzy. Lepus is an assbutt. Virgo's got a stank vibe.

[a little bit of a pause. her tone's just a touch softer:]

Gemini has a stick up their ass vibe. Orion's not as responsible as they seem.

[a beat.] And then there's you, the sassy one.

[guestservices]

Is that it? [fascinating. they seem to consider that before moving on.] Quick assignments, too. I'm almost impressed again.

[evocationary]

Almost! [she laughs.] If I could noogie you, I would.

The vibes are subject to change.

[guestservices]

You would ruin the hat, and I'm afraid that's out of the question. It's very important. [aquarius.]

...kinda curious how your vibes will feel after a while. [...and then, almost tentatively:] Feeling better?
