in the middle of summer [ OPEN MINGLE ]
Who: Anyone!
What: Catch-all Denny mingle for the last week or so of July
When: Anytime between July 25th and July 31st
Where: Denny
Warnings: Label your stuff if it comes up
[Feel free to use this as a catch-all for whatever your character might conceivably be doing here. Are they loitering outside? Delivering supplies/food? Helping improve the place because god it certainly needs it? Cooking? Socializing? Eating? Just wanting to booze it up? GO WILD.]
[There are nominal rules but if you don't get caught you don't have to deal with them, so you do you.]

I'm a skeleton! I'm dead!
no subject
[What is this guy even saying? Yes, you're a skeleton, Hector. He knows what the human skeleton looks like. That's not even related.]
no subject
[Dios mío, what is wrong with this guy. What is going on.]
I died. I woke up as a skeleton in the land of the dead. Like everyone else who died.
no subject
But Hector, he knows how death works.]
Are you telling me your soul was salvaged?
[This is the only explanation he can think of, and his brow furrows in thought and mild disbelief--not that it's impossible, far from it, but that he cannot understand who would salvage a bunch of souls to such a shoddy body?]
no subject
[Okay, Héctor, calm down and try to explain it a little better.]
This is what happens to everyone who dies, like I said. There's a whole world, a spirit world for the dead, that living people can't see. Normally. And that's where I came from.
no subject
Now you're being confusing and wrong at the same time.]
That doesn't even make sense.
no subject
What about it doesn't make sense?
no subject
A soul doesn't take a new form after death unless you salvage it into one, it's unnatural.
[Kaworu himself is a salvaged soul, actually. He would know.]
No wonder you're falling apart.
no subject
What--I'm not--Skeleton! We're supposed to come apart! It's normal!
[Call him unnatural all you want, but he is not falling apart, he's fine.
He doesn't walk funny, Miguel, stop it!]no subject
He doesn't even retort; he just stares Hector down in silence, making stubborn eye contact.]
no subject
What? I'm not going anywhere, you can't stare me away.
no subject
[Kaworu falters visibly. Is that something that happens? You stare at someone and they go away?
Isn't that... the opposite of what eye contact is for?]
no subject
Look, everything I said is true, so you can start blinking again. Why would I lie about being dead? Why would anyone?
no subject
[Kaworu repeats it back to Hector not as an actual question but as the obvious staging of a rhetorical. A rhetorical he's about to answer for him.]
It's because the human ego is so fragile. Lilim needs others like it to survive, but it will also hurt itself because of the barriers that separate individuals... that is why humans must lie to each other, and to themselves, in order to coexist with each other.
[See? He's not so stupid, Hector.]
no subject
...You have no idea what any of that means, do you. At least I know what I'm talking about.
no subject
[Kaworu is irked. But Hector is half right; Kaworu doesn't have much worldly knowledge that isn't SEELE's dictum. And the way Kaworu talks is a direct mirror of their arcane, religiously-dictated script. But he knows what it means. He wouldn't have said it if he didn't.]
You don't like it because it's true.
no subject
[Oh, he's going to regret that question, he can feel it. Every time he opens his big mouth and asks another damn question, Enso's castaways tell him something nightmare worthy, or so it seems.]
Forget it. I'm dead, that's just how it is. I should be in the land of the dead where I belong, in my own home, but I'm not.
no subject
One of the many of humankind. Like you.
[But... you know, not you.]
That's not rehearsed.
[And you're still not dead. Kaworu might have breezily explained the origin of all life on Earth just now, but he gives Hector a withering look mere seconds after.]
no subject
It is too, you're still doing it. And none of it proves I'm lying!
no subject
It would if you knew anything about your own world.
[Kaworu knows that's an unreasonable demand, and there's no real peevishness to his delivery--just that insufferable air, like he knows so much more than he's saying.]
I can only use the words Lilim gave me to describe it, though. It's humanity's language for the reality it inhabits... I'm just borrowing it.
no subject
Look, maybe we're not from the same worlds, which makes this whole argument stupid.
[And you are so not human, you great big lying hypocrite. But he's had more than enough disagreement for the day.]
no subject
Of course it's not the same world.
[There are no skeleton-shaped humans where he comes from, Hector.
...Sachiel doesn't count.]
....
This is stupid.
[He agrees, just not for the same reasons.]
no subject
[It needed saying three times.]
Different worlds, different rules. Who cares? Why are we fighting about it?
no subject
But he also doesn't care, and he definitely doesn't feel like fighting about it. If he were human, maybe he'd understand it better--he's not Chairman Keel Lorenz, he just knows what parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls SEELE thought fit to educate him on for his objective. They cared a whole lot about this subject because they wanted to change their fates.
Must be nice.
He slumps back into his chair.]
....
Let's stop.
[Please.]
no subject
Okay. Okay, I'm stopping.
