[It's Wanderer, he just doesn't want people to know he's asking these questions.]

What are some good gift ideas, if there is someone who keeps giving you gifts you want to recompense?

How can you tell if someone did something because it amused them, or because they wanted to be nice?

What do you look for in a decent mattress?

You underestimate the levels of some people's selfishness.

[ The tone is a bit lost in text to speech, unfortunately. ]

Sounds like you need better friends then, if they're that determined to be jerks.

[threebetrayals]

Are you one of those people who thinks everyone has or needs friends?

[toph_luck]

Uhhhh, no. I'll probaly be a hermit eventually.

But if your friends are so selfish they're going out of their way just to toy with you then they don't sound that great to me.

[threebetrayals]

Why are you assuming I have friends, if you don't think everyone needs them?

[toph_luck]

I don't know! Why are strangers being nice to you in weirdly selfish ways? How does that even work? Do you know them at least a little?

[ There's so many questions! ]

[threebetrayals]

[The question is, will you get any answers from this little brat?]

I know them a little, yes. That doesn't mean we're friends.

[No one ask him to figure out what his relationship with Venti is right now, okay, it's confusing as hell and half the reason for this post.]

[ Brat meets Brat. ]

Sounds like you just have to make a call then. Do they seem like they are doing it to be nice?

This is way harder to judge without knowing what's happening you know.

[threebetrayals]

Can you not read? I asked how do you tell that when I made this post.

[toph_luck]

Uh, no. I can't.

That's why I'm using the voice thing, duhhhh.

[ If only he could see the face she's making. ]

I'm trying to say the only way to tell is by thinking about the person and the situation.

[threebetrayals]

Don't be pedantic. You know damn well what I meant by "can't you read".

[Honestly.]

That advice is as good as useless.

[toph_luck]

That's what I keep saying! You've left it too open!

It's like asking "how do I fight". I wouldn't even know where to begin with that.

[threebetrayals]

Well that to me sounds like a skill issue, then.

[toph_luck]

The only skill issue here is your head!

[ It was destined to go this way, it seems. ]

[The life of an airy fairy Airbender I mean anemo user]

That doesn't even make sense. You're not really good at this, are you?

[Sir you are FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OLD stop bullying the preteen!]

[toph_luck]

I can't help it if you've got pebbles for brains! Just because you can't understand that people need context.

What were you even hoping to hear?

[ Congratulations Wanderer, you're arguing with a barely 13 year old. ]

[threebetrayals]

Actual useful advice. My first mistake.

[toph_luck]

I guess if you don't even know that much, not much is useful to you, huh?

[ Oh her tone's 100% taunt now. ]

[threebetrayals]

Are you done? You sound fairly young, but this is childish even for you.

[toph_luck]

And you don't sound like a real person. Still probably more mature than you.

[ In this case, she's talking about the text to speech on her device but... he can interpret however he wants. ]

[threebetrayals]

Wow. It only took you one conversation to figure that out.

[toph_luck]

[ Cue confusion. That part wasn't even meant to be an insult. ]

Huh? Wait, is this another dumb dream thing!?

[threebetrayals]

Wouldn't you like to know.

[toph_luck]

... Yeah, I think I'll pass.

See you never!

[ The recording ends with a tap to her device. Gottem. ]
