(Meridiana, you probably want this one.)

"Ah, amore, it seems I've missed you; do leave something for me and we'll see if we can rectify that, shall we?"

...Both is definitely good in that case, actually. Not on a regular basis, probably, but still.

I spent minutes trying to decide which one I wanted more. So thanks.

[ ...Apparently this was so important she had to text Tsukiyama. ]

What are you up to right now?

At the moment? Trying to keep Nadia off the fainting couch. Why?

Eh, just asking.

...Why do we have a fainting couch, anyway?

...Honestly, it's because Miss Everett is very Victorian.

Did people in Victorian England faint all the time?

Well, I suspect that may have something to do with the corsets and what have you, though I doubt you really want me to try to strap you into one of Miss Everett's to find out.

Why does she even wear those? They don't look comfortable.

[...You know, while his kneejerk response to this would normally be to point out that he's sure Meridiana would have some choice things to say about Hori's underwear as well, that involves actually thinking about Hori's underwear and he'd quite prefer to not.]

I'm surprised you haven't asked.

It didn't even occur to me until now.

[ ... ]

Has anyone introduced bras to her yet?

...It's not as though I keep myself updated on the status of Miss Everett's underwear.

...Maybe I should ask her sometime.

[ Why is this a conversation they're having. ]

She'd know better than I would, at any rate.

Victorian England must've been a strange place. I once read on the Internet that when a loved one died back then, their family would take pictures of the body. They'd pose with it and try to make it look alive, too.

[...And that makes his skin crawl for a lot of reasons, and a good amount of them have to do with things Meridiana has told him before, whether she knew she was telling him or not.]

Why.

Or, well, I suppose I can see why, but that's horrifically morbid, isn't it?

[...says the guy who skins people alive shut up he's got to draw a line somewhere]

A little, yeah. Exposure times were super long at the time, so dead people were easy to photograph.

...That also implies sitting there for a good long period of time, propping up a corpse.

I think it could take up to thirty minutes. And the smallest movement could cause the subject to blur.

That's...charming.

...Humans are so strange about things sometimes.

About death and taking pictures of corpses, or just in general?

Both, to be honest.

We're a weird species, I think. Probably the weirdest in the entire animal kingdom.

A lot of things we do are pretty strange when you think about it. Like kissing. "Yeah I like you so I'm going to taste the inside of your mouth for a bit."

Oh, definitely.

I still love you all quite a bit, but a good amount of what you do is...bizarre, to say the least. Admirably so, in some ways, but still.

I got flashbacks I didn't want when I typed about kissing, btw.

I'm mentioning this so you'll have them too.

[ She's horrible like that, sorry Tsukiyama. ]

While we're talking about flashbacks no one wanted, you made me think about your underwear earlier as well.
