[Mal stares at this greeting and thinks, ???? Vampires probably think ???? more often than people think that they do, it's just that their faces never show a hint of it. A vampire is also able to move quite quickly past the initial ???? and compose a snappy answer.
Such as:]
My word. It's like a very small cart of confetti vomited in two specific directions.
[Sansa's also lodged firmly in the camp of ??? because suddenly all these people are replying to her as if she---
oh.
---why should the "phones" here be any different from the "forges" in Anatole. If a forge could randomly broadcast a person's innermost thoughts, dreams, memories and fears complete with video, then why couldn't these phones spit out their own something-or-other.
She can't find the 'sent' option, so has no idea what the thing typed out.]
I believe it means to do or wear a thing very well. I did know a very odd girl that always used it in reference to her socks, though.
And a state of being! You can be 'cool'. It's a good thing, but the specific meaning is vague.
Maybe seven hells for the seven gods? But that's stupid when I think on it. It's just a thing people say, like star vomit. I'm not sure there's even one, let alone seven.
You know, that's very similar to what I try to do.
Except for the caffeine. I do know what that is! And I know not to have more than three cups, ever.
I've never known a troll to wear socks. And I spent months with a troll, and with a great many socks. I don't think they need them.
I don't think anyone says star vomit. But there's probably seven hells, if you think very hard about them. I'm not sure why you would want to think very hard about them, but you know religious types.
And if you stop at three, then there's more for me. Goody. You're not a Black Ribboner by chance, are you, Sansa Stark?
I commend you on not being one of those religious minded types with the hell focus. Very wise, not thinking of hells. Especially considering the door thing. One of seven, or just one hell?
I've been living in the coffee shop. It's very comfortable. Dark. Coffee. And yes. Black Ribboner. 'Not One Drop'. It's all the same that you're not, I didn't want to have any sobriety meetings anyways. Only wondering.
It's hard to tell sometimes! People say so many different kinds of things. Maybe I'll save it to say later.
I'm guessing that are not very religious, yourself.
Just the one Hell, I think. It may as well have been seven, for all the things it threw at us. It did its job very well. Do you mean to say that you think one might bring forth a hell if they thought hard enough about it?
Even here?
[That makes a lot of sense, actually. If good thoughts can manifest places why should it be any different for bad thoughts?]
You've been living there? How wonderful! I'm rather fond of Legs.
Not One Drop of...?
[It can't be coffee. And what's a sobriety meeting?]
Are you asking what that face is, or making an even more questioning "questioning face"?
I believe in gods, mostly because I haven't got a choice about it.
I'm beginning to think that this place can do anything it likes. Why shouldn't it be able to do hells? There's probably a few minor hells without any real effort exorcised on them. Tea shops with doilies. That sort of thing.
Legs is surprisingly patient for a cat. And it's blood. Not One Drop of Blood.
[Written without very much struggle.]
I'm a vampire. And I suppose it was inadvertently a more questioning questioning face, but you've answered that for me, so well done.
