INBOX @ Cerealia
Why are you trying to contact me? Go away. Talk face to face. This device too annoying, waste of time!
[it's always time for mutual complaining session]
Hats! I hate hats! What is the point of a hat!? It itches and makes hair look horrible! And pants! Who invented a pants? Why doe it have an 's' at the end like it is more than one, but is only one pant!
Like shorts more, even if they have same 's' problem. [language is awful and oona hates everything] But they leave more freedom. But clothing is awful in general. Why do people care so much?

I have never met a hat I could tolerate, and pants are even worse! They're too long, and they keep you from moving freely... Really, they're irredeemably terrible.
[But whoa, hang on. He's gotta explain some things to her now, namely:]
Are you really asking why people care about clothes? Is that much not obvious?
[But he's going to explain it anyway, because this is his main bias.]
It is because clothes can be beautiful and make people look even more beautiful themselves, if they're the right kind. They can shine as brightly as jewels, even!

[Rock Lee leaves a package outside Oona's door on Christmas Eve, and he sets up a miniature Christmas tree next to it.]
"Dear Oona-san,
You are generous and kind despite all that you have suffered. I believe that you have a true fighting spirit and that you are capable of true friendship. Thank you for your present. I hope that you enjoy this as well, even if you do not celebrate this holiday.
In the springtime of our youth,
Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee."
[Enclosed is a CD that plays calming ocean noises, some seashell jewelry, green earmuffs and a framed photo of Gai-Sensei.]

[??? ??????]
What? No. Clothes can not shine like jewelry, do not be silly. They are useless things. Natural bodies are much more beautiful, should not be covered up so.
They look so stupid!

[Them's fightin' words, Oona.]
Oh, yes, they most certainly can shine as bright as anything! You not having seen them does not mean they don't exist.
[He sighs in a ~you don't know what you're talking about but let me indulge you~ way.]
Besides that, humans would die in this sort of weather without them, so they can't go around completely bare, even if you'd prefer it.

[ It's okay, Oona. You're an exception. And when she calls, he just gives her a pleasant look. ]
They're sweets like we make back in Japan. I thought you'd like ones that looked like fish.

Sweets? You eat it? [She's so shocked it's almost comical. he stares down at the treat and then back at the video[
But... Why give this to me, so suddenly?
But... Why give this to me, so suddenly?
You are talking nonsense. [she waves a hand, though he can't see it.] Clothes are useless and dumb.
[There's a soft 'ha!'] So? You say that like it is a bad thing. Perhaps the world should freeze over, just a little.
[There's a soft 'ha!'] So? You say that like it is a bad thing. Perhaps the world should freeze over, just a little.
Is your hair also useless and stupid?
[Flawless logic.]
And if it did, we'd all go with them, clothed or not. If you're going to have them die, at least leave the other species out of it.
[He's flapping his hand right back, though he can't see her doing it. It's the universal sign of annoyance.]

I thought it would be a nice thing to do.
[ If he's honest, you're also close to Tenka. And he wants to be on good terms with people who are close to Tenka. However he is finding making things people will like... satisfying. Especially when it's something he genuinely enjoys doing. ]
This holiday everyone's speaking of, it sounds like a positive thing. I'm sorry if I offended?

Yes. But, it is needed in human form, because that is what humans look like. [Not that she doesn't like her hair, because she very much does but SHUT UP CYNBEL OKAY GOD.]
Did not say other species had to die. Adapt. [Like it's that simple?? But she makes a thoughtful humming noise] Isolated then. Maybe there needs to be another-- What was it called? Plaque? Plague!

Holiday?
[She looks perplexed, and then suddenly understanding. Oh, right!!] Oh! That thing. With the gifts and strange fat human who breaks into houses. Humans think up strangest things.
[She stares down at the box for a moment, mildly conflicted] No, am not offended. Am very touched. But... Hmm, I did not get anything for you...

[ Chuckles. ] Yes, that one.
And that's all right. I'm glad you like them. I don't have many friends-- [ Still doesn't think he has any actual friends. Just allies and people who might prove useful someday. But he's never given a mere ally gifts before. Rivers in Egypt... ]
But there are people here who have been kind and friendly to me.

Not all humans have hair, Miss Oona, though yours is very pretty.
[Oona being bald would be pretty funny, though, so he giggles at the idea.]
Now, a plague that only targets humans... That might very well be the best solution, if you really needed all the humans dead! I haven't the faintest idea how you would make it happen, however.

...Thank you, I think. When you make compliments, I think you are making fun of me somehow.
[THE GIGGLE CERTAINLY DOESN'T HELP]
Am sure there would be a way.
...Not that I would need do much, really. Humans will kill themselves out before long anyhow. Self-destructive, yes?

Perhaps a little, but your hair is very lovely, truly.
[He's not gonna deny it; he knows he's a little brat and doesn't care at all.]
Oh, yes, they are very self-destructive, on the whole. The problem lies in how short their lives are, and how quickly they breed. For all their flaws, they spread quite quickly. Rather like ants, in fact.

Flatterer.
[You can practically hear the eyeroll,but she still preens a little...]
Was going to compare to rabbit, but ants is better. Rabbits are cute, and ants are not. Tch. How did they become ruling species? Is not fair.
They say those things--aliens?-- are responsible for the worlds being destroyed. Perhaps they are trying to do a favor.

[Aiming at Oona's vanity wins again.]
Oh, rabbits are an apt comparison, as well... But they are not nearly so industrious, so seeing them take over would be quite something!
[His voice drops a bit of its cheer, sounding a bit angry now.]
But if they were aiming to get rid of humans only, they really should have aimed more carefully. Not everyone on our worlds were that kind of people.

I, for one, would accept our new fluffy masters.
[Oona hums in agreement, the sound of her fingers tapping aggressively probably heard loud and clear over the cerevice.]
Yes, can agree with that. Perhaps they thought it better to wipe it all clean. The worlds too tainted by human hands to salvage.
Tch. Annoying. Still should have done better job, very sloppy. [Is it Critique the Strategies of Hostile Aliens Hellbent on Destroying Everything Hour?]

Hmm... [A thoughtful hum and she considers this carefully.]
Will find something. [It's said quite firmly and Oona nods as if in agreement with herself.] What things do you like? Will get something, it is only right. Price is nothing, so do not worry about wanting something expensive!

[ Ah... the question seems to give him pause. ]
That's a good question. [ Chuckles. The honest answer is that he doesn't know. Or, rather, things that he really wants are concepts and interactions and things that can't really be given. As for physical objects... there isn't really anything. He can't even think of something he'd ask for on his twin's behalf. ]
What about a plant?

[Meme queen Oona is terrifying, oh god. But mutual verbal tear downs is apparently the one thing can they agree on, and Cynbel makes appropriate agreeing noises back.]
Precisely. Whatever their reasons, if they had a good one at all, they were lazy and careless! In fact, it misses the point so thoroughly that one could argue they are more like humans than most other species, even on their worst day.
[He huffs, still annoyed.]
I suppose a rabbit coup is the only solution, now.

[she heard u liked memes bro, so she put memes in her memes so you could meme while you meme'd...]
Am glad we are in agreement. Do you think they would take offense to such truths, if they were forced to hear it? [She laughs a little.]
Ah, if only we could truly know why they did it. Perhaps they had good reason. Perhaps the people here are lying. Who knows? We can not speak with the aliens, apparently. Shame.

[Critiquing your would-be murderers sounds like a good time, so he laughs back.]
Oh, if they could understand us, I should think so. Especially if they were trying to get at us, while they were at it.
If we ever get the chance, I will certainly say it to them. If nothing else, it will feel quite good to tell them the truth of what they've done.

What is your status?
[aw he's so nice
but no, really, it's out of concern he's texting, he's just...bad at friendly texting.]
