The Mother of All Logs

WHO: Anyone and Everyone
WHAT: All the kissin's
WHEN: Dec 16 - 18

Ok! Here is the post for collecting all your kissing logs! If you want to do individual Network posts and then lead in to kissing that way, that's fine, but if you're looking to do a straight up log, this is the place to do it. That way we don't flood the community with all the log posts.

Instructions:

1. Post your character's name. One reply per character so that they're all neatly organized.
2. When you tag to a character's thread, put your participating character's name in the subject line.
3. ???
3a. Feel free to edit the post tags to include your character name for easier activity reporting
4. PROFIT!

Sherlock Holmes. So if we came from different realities, what does it mean that we had works of fiction in common? Perhaps there are infinite universes, and our are simply closer to each other than others, differing only in main plot development?

[His eyebrows go up once again at that.] My sympathies.

You've got Holmes stories too, huh?

[She frowns for a moment, thoughtful.]

That's something to consider. I'm sure there are plenty of parallels to be found between worlds.

Hmm. I do suppose that this would probably support the 'fiction' theory - common points between our universe would come from the 'real' world, where all the authors and producers grew up.

If there are infinite universes, and ours just happened to be close, you get the problem of how two people from the exact same universe would both come here, then. Though that's assuming the selection is random. If those running the island are able to select specific universes, no reason they wouldn't be able to do so twice.

I wonder how they do choose people, if that's really how it works. There are a whole lot of people here who know each other from before coming to New Moore. Personally, I wouldn't mind it if they never brought anyone else from my world -- hypothetically. There aren't many people I'd be happy to see right about now.

[Koizumi looks at her piercingly, his constant smile becoming a little despondent.] That's kind of sad, actually.

[Then he looks thoughtful.] I suppose I wouldn't want anyone from my world brought here either - but because I wouldn't want them to go through all this, not because I wouldn't be happy to see them. Then again, if my old world has lost its God, it may not even exist anymore - and I would definitely be happy to see them again.
animator: (The sun is down;)

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Is it sad? There are one or two, but I don't want to see them taken away from their daily lives. The rest... some time away from them is probably for the best, honestly.

[She smiles grimly.]

I hang out with a rough crowd.

I hope the latter isn't the case, for you. That's a little hard to think about.
dontmindmepleasecontinue: (little bit)

[personal profile] dontmindmepleasecontinue 2012-12-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that would depend on your definition of 'rough'. There are those with complicated intentions regarding my 'God', and many dislike those who get close to her.

[Throughout all of this, it is probably not hard to notice that he has avoided giving the name of the girl-deity he goes to school with.]

We've had our share of troubles, but working together we've managed to pull through.
animator: (I'll be your reanimator;)

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she's noticed.]

You obviously don't go around calling her 'God' all the time. What do you call her for short, huh?
dontmindmepleasecontinue: (down)

[Koizumi freezes for just a moment. It's a small moment, but though his voice is light, his smile is just a tinge less genuine afterward.]

I suppose I wasn't exactly subtle, was I? I... would prefer not to say. Especially in public, when we can't know who is listening, especially on this island.

If she ever found out who she really is, the fallout could be... beyond measure, both for the world and for her. The more people who know, the more chance there is she could find out, or that people who would take advantage of who she is would find out.

She doesn't know who she is - I have to assume there is a reason for that. I believe she prefers living her life as a normal human. The responsibility of being God... she could do good with her powers, certainly. She would probably feel obligated to. But it would change her. She would no longer be human, and she would no longer be... her.

I do not think that is what she wants. [More quietly, almost to himself.] And I know that is not what I want, either.
animator: (And speak of better days;)

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She raises an eyebrow as she listens, nodding occasionally.]

Fair enough. Sounds like you've got a soft spot for her.

[personal profile] dontmindmepleasecontinue 2012-12-25 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He widens his eyes at that briefly - roughly equivalent to a shout of alarm from somebody else - but then looks away with a sad smile.]

Perhaps I do. She is certainly... unique.
animator: (Carpals tarsals vertebrae;)

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Unique does tend to get a guy's attention. Plus, if you're watching her all the time, I guess it's natural that she would grow on you.
dontmindmepleasecontinue: (pensive)

[personal profile] dontmindmepleasecontinue 2012-12-25 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives almost a shy smile.]

It's not just that, I... Oh, I don't even know where to begin.

And it's true, I'm around her often. I wouldn't necessarily say 'watching', though - that was more the others, and they're not here. I simply try to make sure she's happy, both for her sake and the sake of the world.

[He looks away again.] She's... not interested in me, though. She's looking for strange happenings, and to her, I am simply 'the mysterious transfer student'.

[He looks back, still smiling sadly.] That's all right, though. I really am happy for her and K - and another friend of mine. [A small laugh.] Although they have yet to admit - even to themselves, I think - that they like each other.

[He then really looks at her, his expression almost shocked, as he realized everything he just told her, things he'd never admitted to anyone before.]
animator: (I'm hoping you'll join us;)

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs fluidly, not trying to catch his gaze. If he's not comfortable looking, that's fine with her.]

It's nice that you can be gracious about it. Be glad that she's happy, at any rate. A lot of guys wouldn't even bother. It's pretty damn decent of you.
dontmindmepleasecontinue: (shrug)

oh my god this is the longest thread ever - over 75 comments already!

[personal profile] dontmindmepleasecontinue 2012-12-25 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives a small sigh, smiling ruefully at himself - both for letting so much slip, and for letting himself get to the point where he would accidentally do so. He then smiles at her and shrugs.]

I wouldn't be much of a friend to either of them if I couldn't be happy for them. That's the sort of thing any self-respecting guy should expect of himself, and have others expect of him. It's a sad state of affairs where basic human decency is lauded, and not accepted as the norm.
animator: (Sweet egg bread;)

Because we're awesome. We can wrap up, though, if you want!

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with you there. And hey, I'm not always Miss Manners myself, but I still like to see that kind of behavior appreciated. It's a dying art. Human decency is hard to find these days, at least in my experience. Then again, like I said. I hang with a rough crowd.

[She moves to slide out of her seat, standing.]

I should get going, but if you have any more questions later on or want to talk about all of this 'different world' stuff? My line is open.
dontmindmepleasecontinue: (wink)

Haha, not necessary but I guess I'm not sure what else they have to talk about :)

[personal profile] dontmindmepleasecontinue 2012-12-25 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves to get up as well, reaching for his wallet and leaving a $10 tip before heading up to the counter to pay.]

Certainly. I enjoyed our conversation, and I hope we might do this again some time in the future.

My line is similarly open. Feel free to call me anytime.

Will do.

[Before he leaves, she leans in just to give him a very, very chaste kiss on the cheek.]

A reminder that being a gentleman never goes out of style. Thank you for lunch.

[personal profile] dontmindmepleasecontinue 2012-12-25 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks extremely startled, but then falls into a much more genuine smile than usual.

Grinning, he takes her hand, bending down to kiss it in an old fashioned and very gentlemanly fashion. His eyes are merry and swimming with amusement as he is looking up at her and says -
]

It was my pleasure, my lady.
animator: (We'll dance until the morning light;)

[personal profile] animator 2012-12-25 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She, too, looks amused. Normally, she wouldn't let someone get away with something like that, but given the spirit of the upcoming holiday and how free everyone has been with the kissing lately, she decides not to let it bother her.]

I'll see you around. Stay classy.
