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!]

[ cid receives a picture of the gnome on the front step. ]

you did this to me.

[SNORTS.]

I would say I'm sorry — but I'm not.

I think it adds a lot of character.

[empyrean_mirror]

alhaitham already lives here how much character do we need here

[ramuhs]

A lot more.

[empyrean_mirror]

cid don't encourage him

[ramuhs]

I suppose just gnomes would get a bit dull.

But nothing wrong with a few interesting pieces to reflect a home's tenants.

[empyrean_mirror]

He will not stop at a few.

[ramuhs]

You have to let him have SOME things. You're housemates after all, it's his house as much as yours.

But perhaps you can find some compromises. Surely there are things you like that he doesn't.

[empyrean_mirror]

hey now, it's not like I don't. I reserve the right to complain a little bit in a professional capacity, that's all.

[complain a...lottle bit. complaining is one of his love languages, cid.]

you would too if you woke up with that fish on your nightstand, staring directly at you

[ramuhs]

I'd think it hilarious.

[....But he knows a certain bird lady wouldn't.]

[empyrean_mirror]

no wonder you two get along

[ramuhs]

You should be glad.

But I'll be sure to give a proper housewarming gift.

["Proper."]

[empyrean_mirror]

you're already playing chess with him, you do not need to bring him any more fish, I promise.

[kaveh just gonna casually out alhaitham being excited here--]

[ramuhs]

[Uh huh.]

Speaking of, do you have a chess board?

[empyrean_mirror]

We didn't, but I am fairly sure he is going to fix that within the hour.

[ramuhs]

Think I might be able to provide if he doesn't.

[empyrean_mirror]

Not a bad idea...he'd like that, I think. I was still programming Mehrak to play, so she's not good enough to be any challenge for him.

[ramuhs]

Then sounds like I have two gifts to prepare and I know just what to get.

[Should Kaveh be worried? He should. He should be worried.]

I'll see you at the party if not sooner 😉

[empyrean_mirror]

[Kaveh is VERY worried.]

I'll be glad to see you there, Cid.
