May 7, 2026 at 7:40 AM
Oliver/K: - do you have anything interesting here?
Edward: Well ... nothing that you find interesting. You're not really interested in mechanics, so ...
Oliver/K: Time for plan B then. You have notecards and a notebook?
Edward: Yeah, I'll get them.
Oliver/K: Thanks. *After re receiving the cards, they write something down on them. * You and ∆lice will be playing icebreakers.
∆lice: What, why?
Oliver/K: You barley interact with my other friends. This'll help you to get to know each other. If a question's too personal, you can skip it.
∆lice: *ugggh*
Edward: ... I'm sure it'll be fun. *∆lice glares at Edward with crimson piercing eyes. * I .... I ...
Oliver/K: I'll buy you more rabbits if you do this.
*∆lice grabs the notecards out of Oliver/K's hand while Edward receives cards of his own. The three of them sit on the floor of the living room. *
Oliver/K: *Oliver/K has a notebook ready to write down what ∆lice says. * You can start, Edward.
Edward: *Edward hesitantly reads one of the cards. * *Card 1 * "Do you have any siblings?"
∆lice: No.
Edward: *Card #2 * "Do you have any hobbies?"
∆lice: Eating rabbits.
Edward: That's your favorite food. I -
∆lice: I prefer sitting in quiet places. Being alone.
Edward: *Card #3 * "Favorite book?"
∆lice: ... I had a book I used to read as a kid, but I don't remember the name.
Edward: *Card #4 * "What's the first thing you do when you wake up?"
∆lice: hmmm - I usually don't do anything. I just ... sit with my thoughts.
Edward: *Card #5 * "Who's your 2nd most liked person?"
∆lice: ... I ... Skip.
Edward: *Card #6 * "What's the place you'd like to visit the most?"
∆lice: I've already visited the places I wanted to. Teleportation is useful for that sort of thing.
Edward: *Card #7 * "How would you describe yourself?"
∆lice: Perfection incarnate.
Edward: Those are all the cards. Guess it's your turn to ask questions.
∆lice: *Card #1 * "What's the most difficult thing you've ever done?"
Edward: I guess that would be building that drone we used on Monday.
∆lice: *Card #2 * "What's the favorite thing you like to do with your family?"
Edward: I like showing them the machines I built. They've been -
∆lice: *Card #3 * "Wh-
Edward: I didn't get to fin-
∆lice: Shut up! ... "When did you decide to peruse your hobby?"
Edward: It started at school. I built a small machine for a science fair, and everything started from there.
∆lice: *Card #4 * "What's something you like about your friend(s)?"
Edward: Well, I like being around Oliver/K since they listen to me.
Oliver/K: ... What about Zip?
Edward: ... I guess she's around. To be honest, I don't really talk with her that much. I mostly hang out with her because you do.
∆lice: *Card 5 * "If there's one thing you could make, what would you?"
Edward: I'd make a better version of the drone we used.
∆lice: *Card 6 * What's your favorite food?
Edward: Oatmeal.
∆lice: Card 7: *Oliver/K looks away from their notebook. They never gave ∆lice a 7th card. * What would be your last words if you were k*lled by either ∆lice or the other teachers?
Edward: ... I ... I wouldn't have any.
Oliver/K: Let's just stop there. *Oliver/K gives out a 2nd set of cards to Edward and ∆lice. *
Oliver/K: You can start first this time my princess.
∆lice: *UGGGG* No, let him start instead.
Edward (Internally): You don't have to be so rude. What did I do to you?
Edward: *Card #8 * "When you had your pet, what was something you'd like to do with it?" Why does it say "Had"?
∆lice: When I still had it, I enjoyed feeding it. It made it so much tastier when I devoured it.
Edward: *Card #9 * "What's one thing you hope to achieve in the future?"
∆lice (Angry): I'm hope I get to k*ll - I'll skip this question.
Edward: umm. *Card #10 * "If you had to give someone a gift to make someone happy, what would you give them? *
∆lice: Who would I be giving the gift to?
Oliver/K: Anyone.
∆lice: I guess ... I would give Oliver/K ... ... I can't think of anything. Skip.
Edward: *Card #11 * "If there was something that you'd wish to change about someone else, what would you change?" I guess that you'd get to choose this person as well.
∆lice: I would change Miss Grace to not be so belligerent towards me and Oliver/K.
Edward: *Card #12 * "If you had to pick one other person to be friends with who would you pick and why?"
∆lice: I've heard of some creature in a forest somewhere. I remember from hearsay. They've earned the privilege speaking with me.
Oliver/K: That's all the cards for Edward, now you can start ∆lice.
Edward: Hey, can I ask a bonus question since ∆lice got one.
Oliver/K: Why not? Go ahead.
Edward: Okay. Have you ever regretted anything?
∆lice: I regret losing to them.
Edward: When I said that, I was referring to things like personal mistakes.
∆lice: I was graceful enough to answer your question, but my patience has been thinning. Stop!
Oliver/K: Yeah, you got to ask your question, Edward. You can start ∆lice.
∆lice: *Card #7 (The ACTUAL Card #7) * "Has there been anyone that you wish you got to know before they left?"
Edward: Robby, I guess. He seemed good with machines. I probably could've learned something from him.
∆lice: *Card #8 * "If you had to pick one person to go to prom with, who would you pick? "
Edward: Skip.
Oliver/K: I said that she could skip, not you. Answer it Edward
Edward: ... I ... *Edward blushes in embarrassment. * ... Oliver/K, please don't make me.
Oliver/K: ... Alright, you can skip, but you gotta make up for skipping that one, so I'll give a replacement question. "What's your 2nd favorite subject and why?"
Edward: My 2nd favorite would be math. Some of the science topics have math involved, so ...
∆lice: How boring. *Card #9 * "Who was your first friend and why?"
Edward: I guess it'd be Oliver/K. Why? Same reason I mentioned earlier.
∆lice: *Card #10 * "If you plan on going to college, what would you major in? " It says something on the back. "Alt Question: 'Have you ever felt dissatisfied with something in you life? Why?' "
Edward: I can answer both. I'd plan on majoring in Engineering. For the 2nd I've always felt dissatisfied with my clothing. It never feels right. That's why I keep on changing it.
Oliver/K: That's all the cards. That was fine, right guys?
Edward: Yeah. ∆lice: No.
Edward: Oh, um, no.
Oliver/K: Wh- uhhh. That's fine. There's other things we could do here, right Edward?
Edward (Whispering into Oliver/K's ear): Not really. Unless ∆lice's is interested in machinery, I think it would be better if you guys went somewhere else.
Oliver/K: I guess not. I do have another place we could go. Zip's house *Oliver/K shows another address on their phone. * Let's go.
*∆lice holds Oliver/K's hand and extends a tendril to grab Edward's. Edward moves backwards on instinct. *
Edward: I'm not really interested in leaving right now. I've gotta study and stuff.
Oliver/K: Borrrriiing. See ya later then. *∆lice teleports herself and Oliver/K away in a flash of red light. *
