Ex. 18 (Corvus Pearl)'s Links
"Cygnus? Oh, hahaha... Well, he's there, I guess. Ah. I don't mean... No no, I don't mean it rudely. Just- how to place it? Let me think. He's very enjoyable and fun. Fun, when he helped me that is. Very blunt with his words. I like that about him. He didn't hold back, and when I told him how I was treated... He was nice. Yeah? I'm glad I met him. I wonder if I can do anything for him. After all, he discovered the thing that has been putting me on edge for the past centuries. But it's not like I'll dumb him down to that. If he needs any assistance... I'll be there, ok? Tell him that, Cerise. I trust you!"
"That gal's always standing in the corner. Cerise told me that she isn't quite fond of interaction, thus arriving at the office every night to water something, have a chit-chat, and then leave. I took the chance of attending her the few weeks My Starlight left for other duties, where I wasn't needed. Sure, it felt empty. But she returned much more than usual. And when he came back, she left gifts on my desk. I remember when she confessed to me about the things she'd been feeling. How her body lacks form despite being in place. And by that, I was able to formulate a theory and newly identified phenomenon! Invisible poofing. It made its way to forums and books, can you believe that?! There's no known treatment, but I hope that with testing with Corvus, I'll be able to get much closer. But it's not like. Uh. Erm. I don't... like her as a friend or anything. Yeah. She's like... there, I guess! She's nice, though, I'll admit. The lunch she makes is okay. Even though I'm not fond of organic food. Eggs and something. I forgot the name. It should be served in Quasar, too..."
Knock knock, who's there? Pulpo was a possible experiment in Orthoclase, being demoted down to a lower-class side of the facility after Miss Sand realized him and Estri were nearly complete failures. Being trapped inside a white, desolate room for so long, you'd expect them to go mad. However, both of them remained decently stable, enough so where Dumbo himself managed to socialize with a transfer to the Research Quarters. Corvus, nicknamed Corvo, accompanied by a staff member of her old reef. While these two didn't have the best relationship (Cygnus and him), the other pair did. They bonded, grew close to each other, and eventually started confessing secrets through the door. Alike a previous batch, they didn't know each other's faces. And by the time Pulpo made it out, it was simply too late.
"Another one of the traitors... Just like Cygnus. *Great* job Cerise. Or should I say Royal Gold?"
"I warned you, Corvo. This is your punishment. And do not call me that, I am still Cerise."
"I wish I was you. She wants *you.* She only wants me to pretend I am you. You idiot, I... I HATE YOU! SHE MADE ME LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF YOU! The moment I find you, I will make sure you remember my name, Paled Turquoise Pearl! All of my suffering will finally stand for something!"
(whistling) "Who?"
"Ramphastos? Hm. Uh. Well, I've heard plenty. Whenever I visit the office, Cygnus has something new to say about him... They're enemies, I can tell. They look at each other with spite. Oh, but, erm- don't mistake me for some sort of spy, please! I beg you! I just like looking at people."
"It's Corvus. Ewwww. She's always standing still on her feet. Cygnus told me while we were fighting once that she suffers from, like. I dunno. Invisible poofing. The dude figured out her diagnosis and spread it across forums. She's like, not that interesting though... Cygnus did tell me the moment I launched a bomb toward her METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING, he'd send a punch in his way back. Let's see his reaction guys!"
"He looks mean and scary..."
"A little shy, but it's fine. I don't get the pearls who bully her. They have envy for being so pretty, ooooooooooo! I'm kidding, by the way. Corvus is an adorable person once you know her. And beauty is subjective, y'know? But anyway, I hope she gets treatment for whatever disorder she has. Even if we're just acquaintances, tell her I said hi!"
