Hello. I am Alhaitham, scholar and Scribe of the Akademiya. I have been informed by my gracious and kind senior that this network is an excellent communication tool.

It has been brought to my attention that I am severely lacking in social interactions, and that it may be detrimental to my health to stay inside and read all day.

Despite the many flaws in my personality, I am very knowledgeable in a wide range of topics, and am a thorough partner in any academic debate. While my way of speaking is quite strangely awkward and disjointed for a man who studies words for a living, my only criteria for judgement is that you are doing your best for your educational background.

Kaveh will be hosting a small party to celebrate the acquisition of a new home. I look forward to exploring the joys of friendship there with you. If you have any further questions, please forward them to me or to my kind senior, Kaveh.

[A few hours later, this post is amended with the following:]

Disregard the contents of this post; Kaveh made it using my shellphone while I was not paying attention. The party that he mentioned above is also not happening.

[A second amendment, around half an hour later:]

Ignore Alhaitham!! The party will be happening!! I will be sending invites soon!!

[ooc note: despite this being written from Alhaitham's shellphone, Kaveh is the one who made the initial post. responses will come from either one of them depending on the time (before or after Alhaitham discovers what Kaveh has done), so do specify which time period your character is responding to!]

would I lie to you, Joshua

[says local man on a post impersonating his husband roommate?]

[phoenixdominant]

That is debatable, Kaveh. Seeing as you wrote many things for Alhaitham that don't seem entirely true.

[empyrean_mirror]

I'd hardly lie about his qualifications, just perhaps exaggerated his willingness to share.

[phoenixdominant]

I see. You were truly trying to do him a favour?

[empyrean_mirror]

no matter what he insists, human beings can't survive on books alone. He doesn't have to like it right now, but having more than two connections will be better for him in the long-term, especially here.

[phoenixdominant]

When you put it as such that is especially kind, Kaveh. He must mean a great deal to you.

[Although Joshua still isn't sure he would have made such a sneaky post...]

[empyrean_mirror]

it's only fair an upperclassman look after junior students, no?

[Kaveh neither of you have been students in ages.]

[phoenixdominant]

I suppose that is a fair assumption. Have you known Alhaitham for some time then?

[empyrean_mirror]

close to a decade now, I think.

[phoenixdominant]

I see. All of this makes perfect sense, then.

[He's a bit amused again.]

[empyrean_mirror]

what's that supposed to mean

[phoenixdominant]

That if you have known him for close to a decade that you two must find it very easy to tease each other like this. Am I wrong?

[empyrean_mirror]

...no, you're not.

[he thought you were gonna insinuate that they are together, which they are totally not, joshua.]

[phoenixdominant]

[He would never be so rude to make that sort of assumption.]

I had thought so. Friends often tease each other like this.

[They're just... close good friends!]

[empyrean_mirror]

[Good close friends who share the same cabin on the ship and the same bedroom in their house.]

I'd say he's usually the one who does all the teasing.

[phoenixdominant]

[Close good friends!]

Oh, is that so? He doesn't strike me as that type at first glance.

[empyrean_mirror]

You just haven't gotten to know him just yet, that's all. The man's a horrific tease.
