[There's like ten minutes that go by of him just staring at the blackglass wondering what the fuck anything means anymore. And this is from an officer.....]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org You're not making any sense.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org I'm not able to swim if that's what you're asking.
[On one hand, Fairy Type higher percentage of drowning; on the other, maybe he does need a Lapras to keep him from dying.]

I have it on good authority that this is the best way to ask, so:
Are you a Water Type or an Electric Type?

If I wanted to know if you could swim I would ask:
Can you swim?
But that is not what I asked.

Then clarify what you mean by Water and Electric Type.
no subject
Water, the stuff that is wet.
Electricity, the stuff that shocks you.
Pick one.
no subject
Before I answer, tell me why you want to know.
no subject
No.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
You pick one or you don't get a present.
no subject
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Electric then. [Because he kind of likes Chidori's taser.]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
But if it shocks me, I'm returning it.
no subject
Then you should be extra careful.
Thank you Phantomhive.
no subject
What's that supposed to mean?! Presents aren't meant to kill the receiving party!
no subject
And yet.
:)
no subject
THAT ISNT SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
Why would I want something that could kill me?!
no subject
Like your butler?
no subject
That's different. He is a servant who does as I say.
no subject
A knife is no less capable of killing you simply because it is in your hand.
no subject
Only if you don't know how to use the knife.
no subject
Your mastery of an object does not eliminate its capacity.
no subject
Your analogy is accurate, but misplaced. Even if my butler can, he won't kill me.
no subject
My analogy is not misplaced, it simply isn't finished.
You asked why you would want something that could kill you, after all.
no subject
He wasn't a gift. I'm going to trust that yours will at least be of some use.
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
If not, I'll be disappointed.
no subject
That is surprisingly narrow-minded of you.
Or perhaps the word I'm looking for is "picky."
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
But you're still new. So we'll see how flexible you can be. :)
no subject
The word is "fastidious."
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
How flexible I can be depends on how well you choose the present.
[Promptly shoots self in the foot. Both feet.]
no subject
Actually, I think the word is "persnickety."
:)
no subject
That word doesn't describe me at all!
[AND STOP SMILEY-ING HIM MOCKINGLY, DAD.]
FROM: phantomhive.ciel@cdc.org
I am going to buy you a lexicon so you can learn definitions correctly!
no subject
We will have to agree to disagree.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
But you should know that I am more right.
FROM: warriorhead@cdc.org
And if you decide to give me a lexicon please make sure that it is an audio file.
