[calkyuulator]

Oh? What an ambitious goal. But I'm afraid it's in vain. Pointless, you might say.

The phantasmal queen has no boundaries.

[no_hero]

Except her own.

[calkyuulator]

Not even those.

[no_hero]

Hm...

But she does make herself rules to play by. Isn't that the same thing? Even if temporarily.

[calkyuulator]

And she will just as often break those rules because it amuses her. Or she may abide by others she has not yet set. The rainbow's violet border disappears when one approaches too closely.

Can a boundary that one sets and ignores be truly considered so?

[no_hero]

She had better keep to her rules with me, is all I will say.

[calkyuulator]

*Stepping up close to him.* And if she does not?

[no_hero]

She loses.

[calkyuulator]

*And that gets Ran to... laugh.

An actual, genuine, laugh.* Ah~ I suppose she would lose the game you play, wouldn't she?

But not the game she plays.

[no_hero]

[shrugs]

I don't claim to understand her intents or interests. I just know my own.

[calkyuulator]

I have known her for centuries. Even I don't understand her all the time. I do understand that she hates to lose, unless in doing so she wins.

I merely act as her reason.

[no_hero]

Then reason me why she finds me interesting.

... or why you do, even.

[because that's always been a. point. of confusion. for him]

[calkyuulator]

Ah, you misunderstand. A voice of reason to anchor her more ill-advised schemes and plots where possible is not the same as a reason why. Her equations and colors and existences are exponentially beyond my own.

But I would venture it's because you are interesting.

[no_hero]

... ah. That sort.

[calkyuulator]

It is a full-time position.

[no_hero]

I can't even imagine what a task it must be.

[calkyuulator]

I couldn't either, if not for its reality. She requires the very utmost of my calculating ability.

And I am quite pleased to offer it. Are not the most demanding jobs the most rewarding?

[no_hero]

... I wonder.

[calkyuulator]

I wonder, too.

The question is, what are we wondering?

[no_hero]

Nothing specifically.

--ah, but you didn't answer my second question.

[calkyuulator]

Second question? I counted two parts of the same.

[no_hero]

Second part, then.

[calkyuulator]

Regarding my interest in you?

[no_hero]

I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that she has some sort of interest in me for good or ill?

[calkyuulator]

To an extent. I am her servant and shikigami; her interest is my interest.

But you are an interesting man. Your goals are to shake foundations.
