Haha, did it seem like it was? [but they don't linger on the subject.] Your thoughts on today's proceedings then?

[unsaid]

Lively as ever.

[that's a word]

[guestservices]

For better, or for worse?

[that sure is a word.]

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

I do not know if I may apply a value judgment upon it.

But I suppose I might always prefer it to silence.

[guestservices]

[. . .]

Rarely anything good comes from silence. That, I suppose, is something I can agree with. I suppose that's why customer complaints is preferable over other tasks amongst the staff.

[unsaid]

Only half of your number appear to attend these trials each week.

Should this repeat again [it will,] I imagine you might not be present next Saturday.

Do you think you will prefer it? Or would you rather be with us?

[guestservices]

Our work schedules differ, you could say. [interesting question.]

I do not think my personal preference in the matter, well, matters. I am only here to do my job as necessary.

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

Is Gemini your true name?

[this seems like a non sequitur probably]

[guestservices]

A fascinating question. It is simply the name I am addressed as. That makes it a true name, does it not?

[unsaid]

Perhaps, perhaps not. Names change throughout time and place.

But if it is the name you like, then it is the name I shall call you. I only desire to be sure in this current moment in time.

[guestservices]

An interesting thought from a soul who already said he doesn't find names particularly important. [they don't seem to be arguing. just stating a fact.]

Gemini is perfectly acceptable. I'll always answer to it.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha. Even if that is my view on names, it matters little in the face of what others think.

[you can call jiji anything. you can call him 'moon moon' and he'd be like 'be right there'. but he wants to have some level of weight when it comes to others.

always, when it comes to others.]

Then I simply wanted to say this, Gemini - I am interested in your preferences. Even if you are tasked with work or duty first and foremost, I remain curious to know you.

Only should you would allow me the opportunity, of course.

[guestservices]

[moon moon truly is something. and mikazuki truly is something himself. for a moment gemini doesn't reply, if only because they are taking that into consideration.]

Might I ask you something? What was your response when the participants in your village asked the same of you? Surely they must have.

[unsaid]

Hm...

For me, it is a rather new situation still to encounter those who do not already know who I am, or at least whispers of my history.

[like. mikazuki munechika is a famous blade, even throughout japanese history. he's kind of a big deal. the only other super famous one is fucking sengo muramasa for slutty reasons (no)]

So I find it rather charming, to be able to speak of myself on my own terms.

[guestservices]

Something akin to a fresh start and having your own life rather than the history of what came before you. Being able to dictate how people view you is something of a luxury then.

[speaking of, how long have you been fucky luxurious.]

[unsaid]

[since before game start :^) ]

Indeed - though even here, I find my history.

[even if it's a slightly weird one. kim dokja being like 'i found you in my world!' and jiji just going 'yea ofc you did']

But would you engage in the same, Gemini?

[guestservices]

It isn't within my current duties to indulge myself, I think. We have quite a bit to manage on our own.

[and it's not quite what mikazuki was getting at, maybe, but there it is.]

[unsaid]

Quite a bit, is it...

[he cants his head to the side]

Do your duties come above all else?

[guestservices]

I take my job seriously if that's what you're asking, yes.

[unsaid]

And do you enjoy it?

[guestservices]

Do you suppose one needs to enjoy their job in order to take it seriously?

[unsaid]

Not always.

[ . . . ]

Though I find it charming, that you and dear Cetus gave similar answers.

[guestservices]

Did we? [idly.] I wouldn't think "charming" would be the appropriate word.

[unsaid]

Is there another you would suggest?

[guestservices]

Um...innocuous? [they say this as if they are not quite sure that is the right word.]
