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!]

Comments

they really have not at all

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham snorts lightly at the way Kaveh puffs up, affronted, yet unlike before there is none of the vitriol that his senior would lace himself with, ready to bite back at just about any given slight. Back then, Kaveh had been determined to uphold a level of perfection of himself they now both know to be impossible, much in the same vein of Alhaitham thinking of himself as untouchable to a degree. None would ever understand him until Kaveh, and though none have still come close even after Kaveh the desire to hold himself higher doesn't quiet exist in the way it used to.

For all that they have stayed the same in some ways, it has been made clear time and time again that they have also both changed in others. Time and distance has made them both wiser and more learned, in terms of themselves and each other. And though there are things about Kaveh which Alhaitham knows he might not be able to wholly understand... it is fine. He has accepted now that not everything is meant to be known, for better or worse.]

What, so you can shame me further? [He asks this, voice completely dry and with a pointed roll of his eyes, but despite all that he still holds out the shellphone that'd been in his hand this whole time for Kaveh to take and do as he desires.

At the end of the day, there is nobody else who Alhaitham would trust more than Kaveh, even until now.]

being unique is also an asset, no?

[empyrean_mirror]

What would be the point, you've never been ashamed a single day in your life.

[He makes an addendum, instead of resuming the deception, at least. Kaveh's picked up the dexterity for typing on the shellphone remarkably quickly, so it's not long before he hands the phone back.]

only to each other lbr

[indispensable]

Something you could strive to learn to do yourself, as I've mentioned many times.

[He takes his phone back from Kaveh once he's done, taking a moment to read through what has been added, and then snorts. Those sure are a number of exclamation points there, senior.]

So? Who are you planning to invite for this get together? [Since he didn't really specify anything in the post itself.]

they're fools in love

[empyrean_mirror]

I'll try it when you try to value connecting with other people, how about that? And no, besides me, before you start.

[Kaveh snorts and rolls his eyes, but he's already starting to hunt around for some paper and pen.]

Well, the crew of the Hideaway, though I don't know they'll all come. Clive, Joshua, Dion, Cid...there's a few others I haven't met yet. Rem and March. G'raha...Freminet and his brother, so try not to strangle him in the backyard, okay? There's a couple other teenagers I seem to have...acquired.

I don't know or even think they'll all come. And I don't plan to make a habit of inviting so many people, before you say it. But it's something Mother used to say, that homes need their christening, same as any other newborn.

they are... they love each other so much... i cry

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham narrows his eyes ever so slightly, maybe just a tinge annoyed at being called out in such a fashion, but as Kaveh mentioned earlier he has never been ashamed for even a day in his life, and he certainly isn't going to start right now.

So all he'll do is put his shellphone away and step closer to Kaveh, grabbing a pen just as Kaveh gets some paper and passing it over to him without a word, then seeing as he starts listing down the names of all the people who intents to invite. Some of them, of course, Alhaitham knows after one fashion or another, though majority of them remain unknown to him.

...and while he knows that Kaveh has always been a person who can draw in many people, it is a little surprising at the amount of names that have been written down. There are truly some things that can never really stop Kaveh, even in an entirely different world.]

As long as you're aware enough of it. [Kaveh's already pretty much taken the words out of his mouth so Alhaitham feels no need to reiterate.] But I make no promises in regards to the Fontanian magician.

[Freminet is fine though. He's a good kid, if maybe a bit too shy.]

wehhh

[empyrean_mirror]

He has a pyro vision, Alhaitham, please don't get yourself set on fire.

[He doesn't actually think Alhaitham will come to physical blows with Lyney in the slightest, so pointing this out is mostly a roundabout way of teasing the man.]

;3; one day... they'll know....

[indispensable]

I'm not the one who blasts himself with Dendro Cores on a daily basis.

[Just putting it out there. You know, for posterity.]

soon...(tm)

[empyrean_mirror]

One, not every day. Two, I get healed by them, you don't.

[Why do you keep bringing this up he's fine.]

Soon............

[indispensable]

[Just because you get healed from them doesn't mean you need to keep doing it all the time?]

I'll thank Celestia for their foresight then, seeing as how it is the only reason why you're able to remain standing half the time after a fight.

[Can you hear how dry is voice is, Kaveh. Can you.]

[empyrean_mirror]

It's not like I primarily use my vision for combat in the first place? I am an architect.

[HE IS NOT FOR FIGHTING says local man who taught his suitcase to wield a claymore.]

[indispensable]

[Yeah Alhaitham isn't even going to bother and give you a verbal quip on that one. The look on his face pretty much says everything that he isn't voicing out right now.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Not a word, Mr. Feeble Scholar.

[YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK.]

[indispensable]

[Why are you so offended by those words anyway its not as if he said it for you to hear.]

You do realize there is a difference between hearing an anecdote and having a blatant lie told right to your face, yes?

[empyrean_mirror]

You are the one who gets fussy about my involvement in combat of any kind, and it is not a lie that Mehrak's capabilities were programmed for surveying first.

[indispensable]

[Just gonna give you another Look here, senior. You know the one.

Both of them know there is literally no excuse for the inclusion of the claymore in this.]

[empyrean_mirror]

She's more reliable than any bodyguard.

[And more economical!!]

[indispensable]

[The Look just continues on.

You say that but you could have just. Picked up a sword? Like a normal person? And maybe it might take a bit more work but he's fairly certain a catalyst wouldn't be out of your ballpark.]

[empyrean_mirror]

[Swords are boring and don't break mining points.

And he has a catalyst her name is Mehrak.]

What point are you even trying to prove? You're the one always fussing when I do anything remotely combative.

[indispensable]

All I said was that you should have a way to defend yourself in case of an emergency.

[Not make a toolbox to wield a claymore for you, that's just being extra at that point.]

[empyrean_mirror]

And I did it in a way that protects my hands, didn't I?

[HHMPH.]

[indispensable]

[A small snort here. He can literally feel the pout emanating from you right now, senior.]

Then would you like a gold star for your accomplishment?

[empyrean_mirror]

I see you want to make your own lunch today, sassing me like this.

[he does. he wants a gold star and headpats.]

[indispensable]

[One day Kaveh will have all the headpats and gold stars he desires. But for now—]

Maybe I will.

[And maybe he'll make an extra serving while he's at it, since, you know. The stuff is already there anyway so might as well.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Do as you like.

[It's not like Kaveh will eat it if given or anything! HMMPH!]

[indispensable]

[Not even if Kaveh gets a close semblance to his favourite dish? But minus the ostentatiousness.]

I always have.

[Kaveh knows this very well.

Alhaitham's shellphone buzzes then, and he goes to look at it, only to snort at the influx of new messages that have come.]

There are more replies on the post. Since you made it, its your job to reply to them.
