Letters from the Conductor
Universal,
...I'm sorry, what?
Don't misunderstand me, I understand how chickens work, but it's more the assertion that there's some sort of legitimate petition for chickens floating around - exactly how many signatures does this request have affixed to it?
- Conductor
Universal,
...If nothing else, I appreciate the advance warning. Check the refrigerator tomorrow.
- Conductor
Universal,
It wasn't a gift so much as it was that I believe in rewarding those who provide information for me, knowingly or not. If anything, I should be thanking you.
As for the croissant, I'm sure there's a recipe somewhere.
- Conductor
Universal,
The drinks are of my choosing; I don't drink quite as much as I used to, but I still can appreciate decent alcohol when I experience it.
I can't say I would mind that, though if you're wanting to do so in person that's unfortunately not something I can grant for you, for obvious reasons.
- Conductor
Universal,
Perhaps sometime, although surely you understand my apprehension about doing so in the first place.
- Conductor
Universal,
No, not at all - I'm sure that they would be highly offended at the notion that I created them, actually. They've been around far longer than I've been alive, and I'm sure they'll outlive me by a good amount.
- Conductor
Universal,
Certainly, because they aren't my servants; really, if I were to tell them to do something like that they would either be annoyed or laugh and tell me to get it myself, depending on my tone. Think of it more along the lines of a partnership.
- Conductor
Universal,
Of course I do; it wouldn't do me much good to provide for the lot of you and not for myself, after all. And I do need to eat.
- Conductor
Universal,
I've always been provided for, really - either by my employers or simply by nature of my living situation. It's a rather spoiled way of living in some ways, but I've generally always been taken care of in one way or another, even if it wasn't always to my standards or my liking; it's something that I've adapted to, at any rate.
I'd say that perhaps I wouldn't mind experiencing things like what you're offering once the exercise is over, but our situation would make that a little strange, I think - one generally doesn't become drinking partners with their captors.
- Conductor
Universal,
Is...this something people do with their spare time??
- Conductor
Universal,
I think I'm possibly a bad person to talk to regarding the merits of love and romance - I've never particularly been good with that sort of thing. I've been with a few people in my time, but never married; something like that was possibly going to be arranged with me at some point, but it never went through for various reasons.
I won't say that I dislike seeing people being passionate about things, however. If this is what works for you, then I see no harm in listening - for a given degree of listening, that is, as much as one can over paper.
The diagram is...interesting, I'll give you that. I've always been a bit poor at recognizing attraction in others, but it doesn't seem to be inaccurate, the longer I think about it.
