Where: OUTSIDE IN THE FIELDS
What: SOME VARIANT OF THIS

[HELLO, FELLOW THUSIANS.

THIS AFTERNOON, THERE IS A FLAG BEING HOISTED IN SOME LARGE TREE.

YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE IT FROM THE WINDOWS.

IT'S BLACK AND WHITE AND MAY HAVE BEEN MADE FROM BED SHEETS.

POSSIBLY, SOME HOUSEWIFEY PERSON MIGHT BE MILDLY OFFENDED BY THIS BUT WHATEVER.

THERE IS ALSO A MADMAN LAUGHING FROM ONE OF THOSE CLOSED-OFF BALCONIES ON HQ.

... THE SWEAT RUNNING DOWN HIS FACE MIGHT EXPLAIN HOW THE FUCK HE GOT UP THERE (HINT: IT WAS SUPER NOT EASY AND THUS MORE EPIC)]

[... His only real reaction to that is to reach up and yank on one of your cheeks again, even as he responds.]

Zexion asked me to. I owed him.

[BENDING WITH IT. THAT HURTS.]

[YOU DESERVE IT!!

He lets you go once he's done fuming over patterns on patterns, though.]

[Rubs his face again... The fragility of the mortal mind really can't appreciate art...]

[You're very lucky telepathy is not a thing.]

... Should I change topics?

... By all means.

Say you had to combine what is an incredibly phallic designed symbol with say, a bird with widespread legs. ...

Where would you put it as to not offend prudish sensibilities.

.....

What?

I might have to draw it.

No-! ... No. It's fine. Leave it.

And I think you should be asking someone else.

...

Mellisan might be more prudish... I can't think of many others.

I mean, it can't go in the obvious spot. But it really is a highly inappropriate hat...

Why is this even a conversation?

You wanted a subject change.

So you subject-changed to a worse subject.

You can pick the next one if you like.

...

What were the requirements for citizenship in Delphinus?

[He blinks and then considers.]

Officially? Land ownership, of course, and there was being chartered for over a year in the service of a papered ship captain. In the outskirts it was as simple as staying long enough that the tax collector knew you were there. Marriage, of course, did the trick in all instances.

... That's it? Really?

As much as I would like to make up something scandalous, I still have yet to overcome my nature.

Well, good! I was seriously asking!

Worried about it?

[He just barely resists the urge to swat at you. It's really more of a mutter than a response]

I was curious, that's all...

You are hereby granted dual citizenship. I'm sure I can manage that decree.

That sounds like an abuse of power...

It's fine either way. I've never really thought of myself as a citizen anywhere, anyway.
