[It was a day or two after the insane giant moth assaulted Tokyo and somehow the city had survived what qualified as a date between these two. And, at this point Chloe had to ask something, and it felt most appropriate to ask in private.]

Peridot, would I be out of line if I were to call you a mad scientist? I want to be sure.

[Because she could seriously imagine her screaming "It's ALIIIIIIIVE!"]

[gemgineer]

hmm let me think about that




yes i think that would be fairly accurate
though mad scientists tend to blow themselves up a lot
i tend more to blow other things up
i'd say i'm more of a mad supergenius, that covers everything

[true_noir]

Haha, well yes. There is some truth to that, I suppose. But supergenius does not roll off of the tongue quite so smoothly as scientist. And, besides, to truly be a scientist, you must be quite intelligent, no?

But I am glad that I am not too far off the mark.

[gemgineer]

i don't know, i've met some pretty stupid "scientists" in my days
but i wouldn't call them scientists so i guess your point stands
anyway i'm glad i could help you out in your understanding of my greatness
what brought this on??

[true_noir]

Oh! I was trying to think of a good way to describe you if someone asked, without being inaccurate. You're quite unique, but I don't think most have met you yet. I wanted to make sure it fit.

And of course, if a scientist was stupid, they're not really a scientist.

[gemgineer]

i see, i see, i can definitely understand how it might be a daunting task to describe me
i'm glad i could help clear things up at least!
generally when speaking of me the use of superlatives is encouraged

[true_noir]

Superlatives, you say? So, using absolutes and extremes of description are usually a good idea in that case? I will bear that in mind.

[Of course, that didn't mean that she was going to be using the 'best' superlatives, now did it?]</small.

[gemgineer]

yes exactly!
i never do things by halves so it's best to represent that correctly when describing me
so you're welcome

[true_noir]

Thank you in that case. I will remember to keep in mind that everything with you is an extreme and absolute. That seems to be the best choice. This has been most helpful.

Now I simply need to understand you.
