[After going through the network a bit Maggie is well. A touch unsettled. More than a touch, really. This is voice only since she isn't about to go showing her face off to anyone. She's booted up a voice modifier on her laptop for extra caution--though that may make it a touch difficult to differentiate between the two people speaking.]

So. This isn't the first time my friend and I have come across this thing. Personally speaking I was a little freaked out about it.

[ Kavi is not much better off. he has no issue with the extra precautions taken. they do not know what this is really all about. no reason to take further risks by revealing their identities so quickly. ]

Not to mention that everything that we've read so far is... It's a little hard to believe it's not some elaborate prank or hoax.

Given how this [What to even refer to it as] network? Is accessed, and some of the things we have read we've been able to figure out that it isn't so. So I guess what we're seeking are answers, if anyone is willing to share them.

Answers and maybe assurance that we are not losing our minds. [ chuckle. this is nerve wracking! ]

Yea that. That would be nice. [Her laugh is more just a unsure huff.]

Does this mean I've been adopted? Am I a Verma now?

[This exact situation is how she essentially came to have all the cats she does. Mag never could turn away a sad, homeless, kitty]

[ asdfasdfasdf. woman... that could be taken soooo out of context. ]

[verbalization]

I think we are a tad to old to look into filing out all the paperwork that would be involved.

And it is such a hassle.

[bibliofilo]

Harsh. Turning away a poor stray cat just because she's old.

[verbalization]

She does look rather cute for an old one. I may reconsider it in the future.

[bibliofilo]

[Now it's her turn to become a little red. At this point if she had known his age, she'd say something about him being primordial ooze if she's old.]

Nope. It'll be too late by then. I'll find a nicer person who doesn't judge me.

[verbalization]

I wouldn't say that to the man that's taking you out. Would you?

[bibliofilo]

How can you be so sure you wouldn't? Have you had men take you out before?

...but no, I guess not. [And dropping the teasing tone] Thanks by the way. Not just for taking me out but for being there through all of this.

[verbalization]

If they had, I'm afraid that is a secret I would never tell.

[ Kavi chuckles at this, looking for a place to park. even though his eyes are on the road, there is a warmth to them when the teasing fades. ]

You don't have to thank me, Maggie. Having someone share the experience makes it easier, I think. Two minds are certainly better than one, right?

[bibliofilo]

It is. Honestly I think I would have quit much earlier if I was by myself. [Maybe later whenever they were somewhere less public they could sort through all they had learned together, but for now she is carefully stepping out, glancing to see which place Kavi took them to]

[verbalization]

[ he so totally picked Applebees, don't you know. plenty of people and appetizers half off right about now. it's perfect. ]

And I would have likely have lost my temper sooner.

[bibliofilo]

[Guess what, kind sir, now she is holding the door to the restaurant open for you]

That was actually very. Surprising to see.

[verbalization]

[ what a gentlekitty. and before Kavi answers, he is going to request to go the bar, yes he is. ]

Yeah... It has been known to get the better of me every now and then.

[bibliofilo]

I guess that might explain where Karson got his rambunctiousness.

[verbalization]

I wouldn't go that far... My sister has a rather sweet disposition.

[bibliofilo]

[Heheh, she takes a seat at the bar, hanging her coat on it.]

That so? Tell me more about her.

[verbalization]

Other than she is so kind that you'd think God might have misplaced an angel?

I haven't seen her in a while.

[bibliofilo]

[Kavi that was so corny. Sweet, but corny.]

Well you are both in the same city now, right? [She supposes him not approving of her husband must cause more than a little strife but. Things can still be done, she hopes]

[verbalization]

[ Kavi taps on the counter, a bit uneasy. ]

Ah... Actually no. She's no longer in the city.

[bibliofilo]

Oh! [She can sense the unease. She is curious, and would like to at least offer and ear but she's not sure if it would be appropriate of her to pry.] Sorry.

[verbalization]

It's all right. Like I said, I don't really know all of the details anyway.

[bibliofilo]

[She nodded, recalling him saying as much. Fortunately the menu was passed to them and she took a look at the drinks and appetizers.]

You feeling anything in particular?

[verbalization]

[ Kavi glances over, giving Maggie a little smirk. ]

I just thought we'd pick three and get that.

[bibliofilo]

Could we get the spinach and artichoke dip?

[Her eyes are sparkling at the sight of that. *^*]

[verbalization]

If we can also have the chicken wanton tacos.

[ he likes both, really. but he can't help but give her a hard time. ]
