Thank you. I'm largely uneducated but not illiterate, you can imagine how frustrating it is that most people conflate the two.

Anyway I don't think I'll be sending it on without those corrections, as the third in particular has the meaning ambiguous enough I just don't know which is the desired course of action. I'd be risking that unsexy brain injury!

[bakudan_bambino]

I didn’t assume you were illiterate or uneducated

I just sent it how I received it

[doesitanyway]

Don't worry, I didn't mean you. That was a separate thought entirely after years of being from "the past" relative to everyone.

Very thematic for you to receive this, hm?

[bakudan_bambino]

I’m sure there are impressive idiots dominating someone’s future.

Because I carry dynamite?

[doesitanyway]

Yes, I was indeed referring to your fondness for explosives. Coincidence?

[bakudan_bambino]

must be

[doesitanyway]

It seems terribly unlikely.

[bakudan_bambino]

I know… I’m feeling pretty targeted

[doesitanyway]

You think this missive was a personal attack?

[bakudan_bambino]

maybe…

[doesitanyway]

That's a potential lead. Who have you been courting recently?

[bakudan_bambino]

courting?! I… you think it might be someone I’m trying to get closer to?

[doesitanyway]

What other explanation is there, since you didn't write it yourself? Let's figure this out: who sent it to you?

[bakudan_bambino]

Vash twice, and Artemis, then... Alucard... and I feel like I'm missing someone... I still have to send out 8 more but 48 is a lot of people and I've already had to start reaching out to strangers.

[doesitanyway]

Vash twice? I'd say he's a likely candidate if I didn't know him well enough. No, can't be... how about this Artemis? Are they handy with the devices?

[bakudan_bambino]

I’d say Vash is just pranking me. Artemis… I don’t know, maybe? I mean… he sends me stuff pretty often

[doesitanyway]

He is a bit of a prankster, but not in this way. When I questioned it he didn't understand the purpose of this himself. And I'm certain Adrian didn't create those flames out of symbols.

So perhaps Artemis is rather more taken with you than you presumed, to have come up with this.

[bakudan_bambino]

yeah?

Maybe it was Artemis…

[doesitanyway]

Now we know who to blame should we all wind up with brain damage.

[bakudan_bambino]

I don't think he'd do something like that. It's probably just so whoever gets bombed will have to maybe meet new people. Or it's a compliment? It felt like a compliment coming from him, anyways.

[doesitanyway]

Perhaps. I couldn't guess at the intentions of someone I don't know. You, however. Should I take it as a compliment coming from you?

[bakudan_bambino]

I wouldn't be unhappy if you did

[doesitanyway]

Then I think I will.

I'd return it as part of my eight, but if you're already resorting to potentially cursing strangers perhaps we can just let it be known I would? Though I don't know if I even have eight friends in the city at this point.

[bakudan_bambino]

It's an interesting way to potentially make more friends. Some of the strangers I've bombed have been really fun to talk to!

[doesitanyway]

I'm sure you've had some worthwhile chats, but 'fun to talk to' isn't something I've ever been accused of before.
