[ Kaworu opts for video instead of audio. The particular reason is because he wishes to offer the network a gentle smile. It's needed after what happened, right? ]

I hope everyone is alright. And I hope those who left the city for a while enjoyed their time. [ "Hippie camp", that's what Samantha called it. Which brings the obvious question: ] What are hippies?

[ but either way, the point of this post is something else ]

I am also curious and would like to know if any of you knows anything about beings by the name of "Angels". The version you know from your world, at least. What you know about them, if they exist or if they are just stories. Anything you'd remember.

[ and now that is out of the way, finally there is another question. It has been a while since he has been philosophical, right? ]

And- if you don't mind answering, tell me: how many people know you? People that really know you, beyond your favorite color, favorite book or favorite song. Who knows what lurks in the depths of your mind, what captivates your soul and why? Who knows your passions, your fears, your desires? Who knows all these things about you and still accepts you, anyway? Still accepts you regardless.

Oh, right. People who know me...I guess there would only be four people I know who know me like that.

Would you allow people more to get to know you like that?

Well sure! So long as I got to know them just as well.

It's has to be reciprocative?

Well it usually is. One of those people, for me anyway, is my Dad, and I certainly don't know him that well, but he's my Dad, so of course he knows me.

Why don't you know your father well?

It's not that I don't know him well...I just don't know him to that extent.

Would you like to?

[That gives her pause. She's missed her dad so much lately, and - while she does miss him here, she's gotten reassurance that he's gotta be okay, and she's made up her mind to believe such. It still plays a factor in what she says:]

I...well...I suppose? Why not?

[ he smiles softly ]

You aren't sure?

Well...it'd be up to him. If my Dad was okay with me knowing those things, I don't think he'd mind telling me.

[A sigh, and her shoulders slump.] It's just a little difficult to think about him lately, is all. I haven't seen him in a long time.

Have you asked?

I'm sorry. would you want him to be here?

I haven't.

...Yeah. That would probably make this place perfect.

Perhaps that's why he hasn't told you.

Do you like the place you came from?

Hmm. Maybe. I always assumed - he's very Dadly, you see, and he does need his privacy. I guess I just didn't want to pry.

Oh gosh. That's a tough one. I did like where I came from at first, but it really isn't the best place to live for an extended period of time. There are far too many monsters and far too few people.

"Dadly"?

Far too few people? Did something happen?

Yes, Dadly. He is the quintessential Dad.

A lot of somethings happened.

What makes a person "dadly"?

Do you wish to talk about them?

Why, being a Dad of course. And doing Dad things, like being at once supportive and stern. And smoking pipes.

They're kind of complicated. You wouldn't happen to know anything about a game called Sburb, would you?

Dads must smoke pipes?

Yes, I do. Jade was playing that game before she arrived here.

Mine does! It gives him a very grown up air, though in truth I know it's not very good for his lungs.

So you've heard of it! Alright. Well, I was playing it with my friends, and...it was just my friends and I there. Nobody else.

You are very fond of him. [ it's not a question ] That's good. Do you have any other family?

At the end, you'd build a new universe, correct?

Well, there's my Poppop, but I only know him in a posthumous kind of way.

[She's not going to bring up how she's supposedly going to meet ~~John~~ a teen version of him in her future, if she even has one back home. That's a little much.]

Yes, that's right. Our version of the game isn't right, though. It can't make anything.

Posthumous. I see. [ he is dead, Kaworu gets that ] And your mother?

What do you mean?

[A shrug.] Haven't got one.

I'm not quite sure how to explain it. There's something funny with our session, there's no inhabitants on our planets and the monsters are all skeletons, and we're pretty sure it hasn't got what it needs to make a new universe in the first place. There's something missing.
