...Is there anything else you wished to know? Or have I addressed all the most burning questions?

[donateblood]

Mr. Gold, you underestimate the depths of my curiosity. However, I also must wonder if I've pushed too far for one conversation already?

[amicustenebris]

If you mean, am I running out of things to say when I am accustomed to most conversations being rather short and clipped? Then yes. But if you feel especially compelled to continue again, I am not put off. There is also always those letters you mentioned.

[donateblood]

A long-lost artform, to be sure! But without the ease and convenience of texting.

[amicustenebris]

Admitted, the novelty of it might be intriguing.

[donateblood]

Would you like to try? Though it might be best to use Fangtasy as a contact point. I'm never quite sure just how much I ought to trust the Down's postal system.

[amicustenebris]

To be honest, I have no idea how we would go about such a thing, but I will play along as though I do.

[donateblood]

Have you not written letters before?

[amicustenebris]

Outside of official correspondence?

[donateblood]

As a form of communication!

[amicustenebris]

I'm afraid not.

[ He was never the sort of person people would write to. Plus he went from a world where a majority of the population couldn't afford paper to one where everybody was already texting so. ]

[donateblood]

You're probably either going to lvoe it or hate it

[amicustenebris]

Which is still better odds than most things in this place.

[donateblood]

How does that usually go? You either dislike it or you hate it?

[amicustenebris]

More that I don't think this place really cares whether you like something or not.

[donateblood]

Oh yeah, THAT's definitely true.

[amicustenebris]

At the very least, it spells out a clearer sense of intention, I suppose.

[donateblood]

"This is what I want you to do and I don't care what you think about it" right

[amicustenebris]

Not that that wouldn't be a chance of pace, correspondence-wise. But I meant more that it takes more effort to write a letter than send a message on this thing.

[donateblood]

That's the charm! Though you're right that the pace is very different. It's much less of a conversation and more...introspective?

[amicustenebris]

Far less likely to be done on a lark.

[donateblood]

Yes. The contents are usually more carefully thought out.

[amicustenebris]

...In all likelihood another reason why I haven't experienced that.

[donateblood]

Your'e not saying you don't think, are you?

[amicustenebris]

No. I believe I have more than exemplified that I think a bit more than I should.
