An Appointment With An Anomaly

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: ))

*There's a hint of something vicious in Gilda's next words. It's doubtful she's even aware of it.*

Gilda: Please, sit down. I may be stupid, but I'm seriously stupid.

[Ookalf]

(Heh. I was a little worried how that was going to go over...)

*Circe stops just short of the door and looks back toward Gilda, surprised to hear the kind of tone from her.* Did... Did you just threaten me?

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: Eh, nothing to feel too bad over. I had a feeling Circe wasn't going to be able to tolerate her rampant cluelessness for very long, so... yeah. ))

Gilda: *still with the same tone* I was happy talking to you. For some reason, you're not. I don't understand, and I probably never will. Does me not making sense really excuse rudeness?

[Ookalf]

That... If I stay, are you going to start making sense?

[AmbushCat]

*A trace bit of sadness?... Whatever it is, it's present in Gilda's eyes for a fleeting second before disappearing.*

Gilda: I don't know. I can't stay more than semi-co-herent for long. I can try, but I make no gar-antees.

[Ookalf]

... *Circe sighs and returns to her seat.* Fine. I'll give you one more chance... How, exactly, does this place operate?

[AmbushCat]

*The dangerous-sounding undertone in Gilda's voice disappears completely, and she becomes a bit more animated.*

Gilda: Um... yes, it does. Right, so... weird people talk to me if something's wrong, right~? ...Left? ...Huh. So if something's wrong, I go up and look at it, try to fix it and make it look cute again.

[Ookalf]

All right, that's a start. And what do you do to "make it cute"?

[AmbushCat]

Gilda: All sorts of things. They neeeever want the same thing twoce!

#48: *from the kitchen* Twice, Gilda.

[Ookalf]

In that case, can you at least give me an example of something you might do?

[AmbushCat]

*The dragon-girl thinks about this. One can imagine steam exiting her ears.*

Gilda: Putting new stuff on a wall to make it match. Connecting new pipes to make good water. Making dark hallways... light again? ...Yes, light's the right word~! ^^

[Ookalf]

Really? That sounds... surprisingly mundane, to be honest.

[AmbushCat]

*Gilda doesn't respond, momentarily distracted by one of the posters.*

#46: I think she's referring to home repairs, my lady. Patching up walls, fixing broken sinks, installing new electrical wiring, stuff like that.

[Ookalf]

I understood that, thank you. I was just saying, I was expecting something more... unusual, I suppose.

[AmbushCat]

#46: I don't see how it could be anything but unusual for someone with that low an I.Q. It's not we typically expect someone with those Colors to be well-versed in that area.
