My Self-SummarySince the Interastral Peace Corporation wouldn’t mean much to most people here, let’s just say I help people all over the universe. I love what I do, but I’m usually a lot busier than this.
I’m not sure what to do with all this free time on my hands. Let’s be friends.
My Future Plans
Having fun, I guess? I feel like anything bigger than that might end up ruined.
My Talents
Business Operations, Investing, Animal Care and Video Games.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food
Math and Science textbooks, Business reports, stock market analyses. No opinions on the other stuff.
My Ideal Partner
Someone who values trust, honesty and clear communication. This is at the foundation of any good business partnership.

His seemed more interested in the real one's happiness and left on his own.
But I think if he tried to take over Aventurine's life, he wouldn't like doing things the IPC way.

[If only his own had done the same...]
Hope he didn't get any paint on you!

Her steps falter, as a faint blush dusts her cheeks. ]
No, it... it was fine. Everyone was safe, anyway. And I got to kind of see my place back home again, even if it wasn't the same.
no subject
"Safe"? What was safe? What does that mean?
...]
So you got to see home again!
[He brushes past it with another plastered-on smile. He knows people were sleeping with the dopppelgangers (take a wild guess how he knows), but he's choosing not to think about it in her case. It's jumping to conclusions! And he doesn't want picture her washing paint out of her—
Well, anyway!!!]
That was interesting, wasn't it? I got to see a few different worlds. I didn't expect the landscapes to have weather, though. One of them was so cold—
[He stops.
He remembers stepping into that frigid landscape alongside Esikko's doppelganger, trying to shield his child self from the cold. Remembers talking about it afterwards, teasing Esikko and calling his child self "cute." His stomach twists again, throat feeling tight.]
... anyway, here's the practice room.
no subject
I mean, it was kind of like home but not really. It was dark, I could see Qlipoth's Amber Wall and Pier Point, but none of my cuties were there, so it felt lonely.
Otherwise, it was a perfect replica of my place, right down to my mattress on the living room floor.
[ in her love for animals, she has sacrificed her master suite to sleep on the floor of her own home. ]
no subject
Well, that's still something, anyway.
[A piece of home, like how he got his phone back.
He opens the door to the practice room and holds it for her. Then he pauses, his brain catching up to him.]
... you slept on just a mattress? [His brows raise.] Surely your company pays a bit better than that, no?
no subject
Oh, I've got money— and savings, stock options and usually quarterly bonuses— [ except for one little setback, but she's working on that. ] I just didn't see a point. It's got sheets and a blanket, which is all I really need. I'd rather use the room I had keeping my cuties comfy.
[ surely that's fine, right? ]
no subject
Though that still sounds a bit weird.]
As long as it's your choice. It's better than sleeping in your office, anyway.
[Unlike Anzu sometimes!!]
Your suite as an Ace must be absolutely huge, no? That must have been an adjustment if you're used to living the simple life.
no subject
Oh, I'd never. The cuties I can't take to work would miss me too much. Or when I'm out in the field, I'm already away from them for too long.
The Ace Suite is smaller than my ship, but it's way better than the suite I had as a 4. I haven't done much to decorate it except for having plants there.
no subject
[Then he hears that last thing and he gasps. Imagine living in an undecorated suite! Couldn't be him! But he's quick to propose a predictable solution.]
In that case, we ought to go shopping! No, not "ought to"—we must! And we'll find you all sorts of nicknacks to bring back.
[He makes a fist and claps his other hand over it.]
Sound good?
[It'll be a way to blow off steam, too. He could use the distraction.
... from thinking about one of his friends being a killer, that is.]
no subject
For real, I'm no good at that stuff when it comes to me, so every little bit helps.
no subject
[He beams, showing plenty of enthusiasm!]
We'll have to go to the place where I got Leona-kun's birthday gift. That is, the place with cute animal pillows! That seems just like the sort of thing you need~♪
