The Guardian for this meeting was Aphrodite Macbain. The comments are by Aphrodite Macbain.

ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Aph :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello ShinjuJin
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello Qt
Qt Core: Hi Aph, Shin
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Qt :)
Aphrodite Macbain: love your top Shinju
Aphrodite Macbain: Hiya druth!
druth Vlodovic: hey guys
ShinjuJin Resident: thanks. Would love it more if I could fit it well (still clumsy with mesh)
Qt Core: Hi Druth
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Druth :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Mesh always makes me look fat!
ShinjuJin Resident: I am curvy with intention, but mesh makes it awkward
druth Vlodovic: you look all too thin right now, no middle at all
ShinjuJin Resident: and ill fitting as though I shopped sizes too small
ShinjuJin Resident: have some work to do :))
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- some designers are better than others
ShinjuJin Resident: but here I sit, hah
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm glad you're here!
ShinjuJin Resident: there is no excuse... shopped months ago now
ShinjuJin Resident: thanks :) me too. that's the thing, with limited SL time I prefer PaB :)

druth Vlodovic: until they perfect mesh I'll stick to prim and "clothes" clothing
ShinjuJin Resident: I should have too

Moving
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm getting excited. In just a week we will be moving into our new plots
Aphrodite Macbain: ...the plots thicken...
ShinjuJin Resident: it will be strange to try new pavilions, but fun
Aphrodite Macbain: I'm curious to see what people propose
druth Vlodovic: see if it gets the blood flowing
Aphrodite Macbain: the blood of community?
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Our energy has seriously picked up in the past month or two
ShinjuJin Resident: I think if we can drop comparisons, and just appreciate where we are, there is a lot to celebrate
Aphrodite Macbain: oh yes
Aphrodite Macbain: lots
ShinjuJin Resident: hard to reflect without tipping into measurements though
Aphrodite Macbain: I feel like we should do something to mark day #1 of the new PaB
Aphrodite Macbain: release balloons or something
druth Vlodovic: part of the difficulty is that without controversy people lapse in the need to talk
druth Vlodovic: and then feel that without talk they lack purpose
druth Vlodovic: and without purpose a reason to be somewhere
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: You think we need controversy to keep talking?
ShinjuJin Resident: I loved Calvino's poem for the event... it captured so much of why PaB is unique
Aphrodite Macbain: Yes, I agree
druth Vlodovic: are the poems posted?
ShinjuJin Resident: not yet, but Adams has asked for them
Aphrodite Macbain: I'd love to hear it read aloud, with drums in the background
ShinjuJin Resident: am hoping Eden will record hers to post
Aphrodite Macbain: yes, me too. But Eliza did a fine job of reading :-)

ShinjuJin Resident: until I didn't... at which point... lol
ShinjuJin Resident: there is nothing like Eden reading her own poetry, but having never encountered the piece before that I did okay for a while I guess
Aphrodite Macbain: you certainly did!
ShinjuJin Resident: ty

The problem with talking

druth Vlodovic: ok ,My point is that there is this imagined relationship need=talking
ShinjuJin Resident: you mean we're problem solvers, Druth?
Aphrodite Macbain: could you expand on that druth?
Aphrodite Macbain: could we just sit without saying anything?
druth Vlodovic: I have done, and it is a very close thing
Aphrodite Macbain: close?
Aphrodite Macbain: silence becomes a bond?
druth Vlodovic: but in retrospect it is hard to justify just sitting in silence with a bunch of people
druth Vlodovic: unless we label it I guess
Aphrodite Macbain: the only way I do that is when I meditate with others
druth Vlodovic: "meditation" "bonding"
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
ShinjuJin Resident: it is confusing, but sitting with that confusion is pretty powerful
ShinjuJin Resident: or can be
Aphrodite Macbain: It would be nice to have a retreat in world where we just sit quietly with each other
druth Vlodovic: we "need" to have "purpose" to "justify" "spending" "time" "doing" something".
ShinjuJin Resident: would like to plan one when things settle a bit
Aphrodite Macbain: that would be great Eliza
druth Vlodovic: lol, hard to say anything without using trigger words
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: we could try a retreat where we use other words
ShinjuJin Resident: what do you mean?
Aphrodite Macbain: I find I fall back on familiar expressions
Aphrodite Macbain: they are like code
Aphrodite Macbain: that a certain group of people know and use
Aphrodite Macbain: they become a form of  bonding
Aphrodite Macbain: but I can see that it could also keep us stuck
ShinjuJin Resident nods, good point. There is a wonderful aspect of them unless they are thoughtless
ShinjuJin Resident: or become heedless
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: My horoscope said it was time to think about all those things that were once interesting or exciting to me, but are no longer. Then to drop them and explore new ones.
Aphrodite Macbain: I thought that was a useful suggestion!
ShinjuJin Resident: :) seems good advice
ShinjuJin Resident: but what is not interesting now may become interesting again, and vice versa
Qt Core: (while it is a good idea i frown at the source ;-)
Aphrodite Macbain: true
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: the source is obviously a philosopher who needs to earn money
ShinjuJin Resident: horoscopes are just Rorschach
Qt Core: ahhh
ShinjuJin Resident: (imo)
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Aphrodite Macbain: we read into them what we want?
ShinjuJin Resident: but that isn't to say that a reader might not be intuitive
Qt Core: Hi Agatha
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Agatha :)
Aphrodite Macbain: Aggers!
Agatha Macbeth: G'day mates
Aphrodite Macbain: nice T shirt!
ShinjuJin Resident: great shirt
Aphrodite Macbain: you sexy thang
Agatha Macbeth: I sincerely hope the new place will be less laggy than this one
ShinjuJin Resident: "I believe in miracles... where ya from..."
ShinjuJin Resident: it will depend on how much we fill it up maybe
Aphrodite Macbain: and how much bling we wear
Agatha Macbeth: Less trees would be nice :p#
ShinjuJin Resident: (although I don't have a lot of lag)
Aphrodite Macbain: Me neither
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Bleu :)
druth Vlodovic: an open plain full of naked people
Agatha Macbeth: You probably don't have an ancient computer Aphie
Agatha Macbeth: Bleuji :)
Bleu Oleander: hey all :)
Aphrodite Macbain: I have a little cricket friend sitting next to me. She may create some lag
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Bleu!
ShinjuJin Resident: one of my favorite Bleu appearances - smile so much every time you present this way
Bleu Oleander: :)
ShinjuJin Resident: friendly
Bleu Oleander: feels different every time :)
ShinjuJin Resident: Aph, can we go back to what you were saying about maneuvering around usual words and insider language?
Aphrodite Macbain: sure
ShinjuJin Resident: how do you try to do that?
Aphrodite Macbain: druth raised it
ShinjuJin Resident: ah yes, triggers
Aphrodite Macbain: well, the first thing is to be aware of doing it
Aphrodite Macbain: falling into the same language patterns
Aphrodite Macbain: listening to others doing the same thing
Aphrodite Macbain: it's like a form of code
Aphrodite Macbain: a jargon that includes some and excludes others
Bleu Oleander: language is code
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: and within it many sub codes
Agatha Macbeth: Dot dot dash dash
druth Vlodovic: hidden assumptions
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
ShinjuJin Resident: mhm, but it is only a temporary exclusion usually, in the case of a group that is open - can be an avenue of inclusion
Aphrodite Macbain: the jargon unites but can also exclude
druth Vlodovic: in "1984" George Orwell imagined changing the way people think just by changing the language
Aphrodite Macbain: yes - I was thinking it might be fun to come up with new ways of saying old things...
ShinjuJin Resident: for sure it does
Qt Core: ... just ... ;-)
Bleu Oleander: an interesting theory on evolution of capacity for language is that it evolved to think before to communicate
Agatha Macbeth: Where's Esperanto when you need it?
Aphrodite Macbain: can you explain Bleu?
Aphrodite Macbain: I thought language shapes the way we think
Agatha Macbeth waits for someone to explain Bleu
Bleu Oleander: heard Noam Chomsky speak last week
Aphrodite Macbain: oh?
Aphrodite Macbain: cool
Aphrodite Macbain: my hero
Bleu Oleander: first order of business is to help us think
Bleu Oleander: then communicate
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- we need to think before we speak out loud
Aphrodite Macbain: but we think in words
Agatha Macbeth: Helps
Bleu Oleander: we don't always do that lol
ShinjuJin Resident: there are times for flying free though :)
Aphrodite Macbain: no- nor spell correctly
Agatha Macbeth: Frying flee
Aphrodite Macbain: free- associations you mean Shinju?
ShinjuJin Resident: sure, not having a guard, not worrying as much about intended audience
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Aphrodite Macbain: sometimes it works
Aphrodite Macbain: sometimes nothing happens
ShinjuJin Resident nods
Bleu Oleander: well we don't even know what the "guards" are
ShinjuJin Resident: that's why it is an interesting experiment
Aphrodite Macbain: I find that the conversation becomes more interesting if there's a theme
Bleu Oleander: a lot going on under the hood
Aphrodite Macbain: raised by someone
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: under the hood....nice
Bleu Oleander: :)
Qt Core: i don't know if after years it does still happen to me but i sometimes feel freer speaking/writing in English
Aphrodite Macbain looks under her hood and sees nothing much
ShinjuJin Resident: and I guess it is more useful if one has a base of experience of self-awareness in the first place
druth Vlodovic: Bill Gates talked about reading magazines cover to cover, rather than just the articles he was interested in
Aphrodite Macbain: Qt- that's very interesting. I wonder why
Qt Core: as i have to spend the mental energy i usually use to filter my words to translate them
ShinjuJin Resident: very curious, Qt
druth Vlodovic: if he reads what interests him he ends the magazine the same person he was when he started
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
Bleu Oleander: self awareness and introspection can only take us so far
Agatha Macbeth: Rich
Bleu Oleander: so much is inaccessible
ShinjuJin Resident: I like that Druth
druth Vlodovic: math class

New words

Aphrodite Macbain: I love it when people invent new words
Agatha Macbeth: Cromulent
Aphrodite Macbain: that describe new situations or things
Bleu Oleander: fantabulastic!
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Agatha Macbeth: Disasteriffic
Aphrodite Macbain: Cromulent???
ShinjuJin Resident: different from reading "opposing views" because one doesn't have to take a dichotomy as a given in the first place
Aphrodite Macbain: Oliver Cromulent?
Agatha Macbeth: I knew him well
Aphrodite Macbain: right- everything is acceptable Shin
Agatha Macbeth: He said 'god' rather a lot
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)

Filters
druth Vlodovic: we filter inputs as well as outputs
Bleu Oleander: filters are us :)
Aphrodite Macbain: I should filter my outputs more often
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe we should filter our filters
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
ShinjuJin Resident: hierarchies are enforced in hard ways that seem soft, by language - one of the things Chomsky is really clear when he about
Aphrodite Macbain: what would remain?
Agatha Macbeth: Clean filters
druth Vlodovic: known filters

Agatha Macbeth: (Hopefully)
Bleu Oleander: persuasion
Aphrodite Macbain: can u say more Shin?
ShinjuJin Resident: unknown knowns, lol
Agatha Macbeth: More Shin
ShinjuJin Resident: :P Aggers
Bleu Oleander: Chomsky is not a fan of persuasion
Agatha Macbeth: Wot?
ShinjuJin Resident: right
Aphrodite Macbain: what is he a fan of then?
Agatha Macbeth: The Dodgers?
Aphrodite Macbain makes a note to read more Noam Chomsky
Bleu Oleander: presenting information in a straight forward way
ShinjuJin Resident: in a way it is truly frightening when one can see the programming, but it is also very powerful
Aphrodite Macbain: lol Aggers
Bleu Oleander: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: what kind of programming Shin?

Neuroscience

druth Vlodovic: it is funny how resistant some people are to neuroscience
druth Vlodovic: once we know how the mind works we are no longer human
Aphrodite Macbain: are they?
Agatha Macbeth wants to know where Shin got her dress
ShinjuJin Resident: in our language mainly, advertising, histories
Bleu Oleander: well lots of different approaches going on in neuroscience these days
Aphrodite Macbain: I love reading about neuroscience
Aphrodite Macbain: It is astonishing how complex our brains are
druth Vlodovic: the fear is that the progam is no longer special if you know the programming language, and how it works
Aphrodite Macbain tries to imagine all those nerve endings
Bleu Oleander: have you read Joseph Ledoux?
Aphrodite Macbain: who?
ShinjuJin Resident: I'm a fan, but I like scientists to admit that they aren't divorced from philosophy
ShinjuJin Resident has never heard of him
Bleu Oleander: great neuroscientist on emotions
Agatha Macbeth: The nerve...
Bleu Oleander: one of the best
Aphrodite Macbain: I am more amazed the more I learn, not less
Bleu Oleander: "synaptic self"
Aphrodite Macbain: oh?
ShinjuJin Resident: neat term
Agatha Macbeth: The wages of synapses
Agatha Macbeth: Is thinking
Aphrodite Macbain: synaptic overdrive

ShinjuJin Resident: ::rolls eyes:::
Agatha Macbeth catches them and throws em back
ShinjuJin Resident: @@@@@@....
Aphrodite Macbain wonders whether coffee helps synapses speed up
Bleu Oleander: :)
ShinjuJin Resident: (sorry Bleu, please say more)
Agatha Macbeth: @.@
ShinjuJin Resident: :))
Aphrodite Macbain watches eyeballs skip across the pool

Bleu Oleander: np was just throwing his name out there
Bleu Oleander: wonderful on emotions
Agatha Macbeth: Name dropping I know, not name throwing
Bleu Oleander: we met him on one of our trips
Aphrodite Macbain: who is Joseph Ledoux?
Bleu Oleander: neuroscientist
Aphrodite Macbain: and what has he written?
Bleu Oleander: on brain and emotions
Bleu Oleander: "Synaptic Self"
Aphrodite Macbain: anything new?
Agatha Macbeth: As opposed to an oldroscientist
Bleu Oleander: yes a book coming out soon
Bleu Oleander: google him
Bleu Oleander: most books footnote his research
Aphrodite Macbain: I'd like to take a course in neuroscience and its recent discoveries
Agatha Macbeth googles 'him' and gets 'Finnish band'
Agatha Macbeth: WB Qt
Bleu Oleander: interesting article in the new "new scientist" mag this week
Bleu Oleander: on belief
Agatha Macbeth: You crashy old thing you
Qt Core: ty :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: "My lab's research is aimed at understanding how the brain learns and stores information about danger. " Joseph Ledoux  wiki
ShinjuJin Resident: consciousness research seems to be leaning toward learning more about embodiment - would be interested to focus on emotions and body more ... maybe he has something to say there?
Bleu Oleander: he does have a band ... the amygdaloids" lol
Bleu Oleander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH_HSj5ysy0
ShinjuJin Resident: hehhee
Aphrodite Macbain: our emotions are as much in our body as in our brain
Bleu Oleander: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Agatha Macbeth: Wasn't that the queen in Star Wars?
Aphrodite Macbain: grins
Aphrodite Macbain: what was her name druth?
ShinjuJin Resident: bodily memory is fascinating to me
Bleu Oleander: all our cells have memory
Bleu Oleander: not to mention all our microbes :)
Agatha Macbeth: Wow .Wollie came on!
ShinjuJin Resident: 'gut' intelligence
Bleu Oleander: we have over 400 species of microbes living in our guts alone
Agatha Macbeth: Pretty crowded in there
Aphrodite Macbain: Antonio Demasio got me turned on to all this
Bleu Oleander: that can influence our brains
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Wol
Agatha Macbeth: Wollie ♥
Wol Euler: evening all, sorry I'm late
Bleu Oleander: hiya Wol
ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Wol :)
Qt Core: Hi Wol
Agatha Macbeth: Work again?
Aphrodite Macbain: you're here :-)
Wol Euler nods.
ShinjuJin Resident: onto emotions and body, Aph?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: he explains the idea of underlying emotions
Aphrodite Macbain: our "mood"
Aphrodite Macbain: how it takes place in the body
Aphrodite Macbain: how our "gut" instinct is real
Aphrodite Macbain: and all those little bits of the brain that govern how we think and feel
Bleu Oleander: background emotions
Aphrodite Macbain: yes!
Aphrodite Macbain: those were his words..
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: read all his books :)
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Aphrodite Macbain: Maybe I'll become a neuroscientist when I grow up
Bleu Oleander: his latest, "Self comes to mind" is great
Aphrodite Macbain: yes - his definition of the self

Aphrodite Macbain: when I come back from Italy

Agatha Macbeth: Visiting Qt?

Aphrodite Macbain: :-) that would be nice. I'll be further south
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Bleu Oleander: Italy first ... then neuroscience :)
Qt Core: thinking we doing without knowing it or preprogrammed genetic response ?
Bleu Oleander: where are you going?
Aphrodite Macbain: Rome
Aphrodite Macbain: Umbria
Aphrodite Macbain: Tuscany
Bleu Oleander: oh I would love to go there!
Agatha Macbeth: Just don't lose your money this time
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Wol Euler nods.
Bleu Oleander: been all over Tuscany but not Rome
Qt Core: between 250 and 450 km from Milan
Aphrodite Macbain: it will be secreted underneath my shirt
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh
ShinjuJin Resident had to run away from the computer for a moment but is back and reading...
druth Vlodovic: first place they'll look

Aphrodite Macbain: not before I smack them
Aphrodite Macbain: wb Shin
Agatha Macbeth: Thought you were oddly quiet
Qt Core: using plastic would be an alternative
Qt Core: (instead of paper money)
Aphrodite Macbain: nods
ShinjuJin Resident: belated ty for explanation Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: hard to use plastic in a little cafe
druth Vlodovic: depends where you want to shop
Aphrodite Macbain: druth is coming too :-)
ShinjuJin Resident: nice
Aphrodite Macbain: she will protect me
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
druth Vlodovic: grrrr
Wol Euler smiles.
Aphrodite Macbain: lol
Agatha Macbeth: Mama mia
Qt Core: (but then you'll miss on the new banknotes, we just changed the 5 and 10 euro bills
Aphrodite Macbain: oh goody
Aphrodite Macbain: I prefer cash
Agatha Macbeth: Yes it's easier to lose
Aphrodite Macbain: and will pay hotels with credit cards
Qt Core: (i really like the 1 euro coin with the Vitruvian man on it
Aphrodite Macbain: I have to make sure I don't lose my credit card this time
Agatha Macbeth: Never yet saw anyone bite a credit card to see if it was genuine
Aphrodite Macbain: what does a Vitruvian man look like?
ShinjuJin Resident: hehehe
ShinjuJin Resident: (purse spilling out with lindens)
Agatha Macbeth: Will probably turn out to be a hoax
Aphrodite Macbain: you'd have to be really hungry
Wol Euler: http://wundergroundmusic.com/wp-cont...ruvian-Man.jpg
Wol Euler: you know him, you just don't know his name
ShinjuJin Resident nods
Aphrodite Macbain: ah of course- Leonardo's drawing!
Aphrodite Macbain: thanks Wol
Wol Euler: yw
Qt Core: and this is the coin: https://www.google.it/search?q=vitru...uvian+men+coin
Aphrodite Macbain: love it - is it new?
ShinjuJin Resident: like that!
Agatha Macbeth: Ahh World in action
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
druth Vlodovic: ah yes, four armed is forewarned, or something
Aphrodite Macbain: giggles
Agatha Macbeth: And forelegged
Qt Core: since euro we had this as the 1 euro coin
ShinjuJin Resident is surprised to like anything "official" :)
Wol Euler: spiderman
Agatha Macbeth: Harry Worth
Aphrodite Macbain: ?
Aphrodite Macbain: worth what?

New Pavilion

Aphrodite Macbain: maybe we can come up with a new name for the new pavilion
Aphrodite Macbain: Pabilion?
Agatha Macbeth: How about 'new pavilion'?
druth Vlodovic: pavlovian
Aphrodite Macbain: brilliant
Agatha Macbeth: Or not-so-old pavilion'
ShinjuJin Resident: some of us have always called it that "pabilion" or playgoda
ShinjuJin Resident: but will depend on shape/feeling?
Aphrodite Macbain: ah
Agatha Macbeth: PaBillion maybe
Wol Euler: "playgoda" is the word for this one. Next one depends on how it looks
Aphrodite Macbain: It would be nice to come up with a new shiny name
druth Vlodovic: get Aph to serve drinks and we can revert to the teahouse
Aphrodite Macbain: wine anyone?
Agatha Macbeth whines
ShinjuJin Resident: I have contrasting sensibilities about it, like either light and modern or darkish and cozy
ShinjuJin Resident: wine always accepted :)
Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
Agatha Macbeth: In vino veritas
Wol Euler: the wine?
Aphrodite Macbain: we could call it the wine bar
Bleu Oleander: it will be fun to see what some people design
Aphrodite Macbain: yes
ShinjuJin Resident: come to think of it, those are my wine sensibilities too
Aphrodite Macbain: how many are offering?
Agatha Macbeth: Offering what?
Aphrodite Macbain: San. lp, bleu
Bleu Oleander: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: new pavilion designs
Agatha Macbeth: Who's Ip?
ShinjuJin Resident: Ip?
Bleu Oleander: so a new one on display every week
ShinjuJin Resident giggles
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Bleu Oleander: Darren
ShinjuJin Resident: ah
Aphrodite Macbain: =lp
Aphrodite Macbain: LP
Agatha Macbeth: Darren Ip...sounds like a Chinese detective
Aphrodite Macbain: leaping panther
ShinjuJin Resident: I should have learned to build already if i were going to try
Agatha Macbeth: Must ask him where he got that name
Qt Core: i sadly need to go, bye all!
ShinjuJin Resident: sort of a shamanistic tone?
Bleu Oleander: great classes going on now

Wol Euler: bye shin, take care
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Qt

Wol Euler: subcontract it out
ShinjuJin Resident: I'm sturdier, probably good with a hammer
Bleu Oleander: Pinky is my builder :)
Aphrodite Macbain: smiles at Shin
ShinjuJin Resident smiles back
Agatha Macbeth ponders Pinky
ShinjuJin Resident: I remember Pinky
Bleu Oleander: she's been here before
Aphrodite Macbain looks at the architect in the group: and wonders...
Agatha Macbeth: And Parky
Wol Euler looks around curiously
Agatha Macbeth: Porky?
ShinjuJin Resident: Pokey
Aphrodite Macbain: Pukey?
ShinjuJin Resident: ack
Agatha Macbeth: God I'm in retro mode tonight
Bleu Oleander: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: time to leave this brilliant repartee and return to my travel plans
Agatha Macbeth: Nice shoes
Wol Euler: there's a maker of bikes and pushboard things for children in Germany called "Puky"
Bleu Oleander: retragatha
ShinjuJin Resident: hmm
Wol Euler: unfortunate name for an English speaker

Agatha Macbeth nods
ShinjuJin Resident: Bye Aph, thanks for skilled hosting

Agatha Macbeth: Got any grapes?
ShinjuJin Resident: no but that sounds really good, especially since air is out
ShinjuJin Resident: cold grapes
Agatha Macbeth: Then he waddled away
ShinjuJin Resident always rambles when she feels restless
Agatha Macbeth: Waddle waddle
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: The restless rambler
