☆ They looked at eachother, they only did
Ever since Veronica put them in the same room togheter all they did was look at eachother
These toons currently are the ones most energetic of the energetics of the bunch, since most others are currently adapting to social life
So that's very confusing... Why don't they whisper a single word to eachother?
Maybe they just don't understand the other or don't feel the need to communicate? Probably telepatizing in some way?
It is a disappointing watch for Vero, especially since they are ones of the most important ones and no clear results are coming out her side
First of they showed no clear interest in interacting with the other, then second they show silent interest we can't tell what they are up to · Nothing out from either
This is probably some staring contest game for them, but it does not help advance the show at all!
Glisten dissolves all the makeup off his face silently, Vee is as static as never. Maybe they are both too shy to speak yet, or need a small moment to adjust
Vee is one of the talkatives but it still felt like she was listening to him, waiting for him to have the first word, they just stared at eachother their eyes never warding off
So anguished and so glued in the other's face
Noticing no other detail than that
Glisten touched his own face which triggered Vee to do the same, then she touched his which triggered Glisten to do the same
They poked eachother's faces, traced shapes in the middle of the other's, they had never interacted before but seemingly didn't mind eachother's touch about at all, not a single shudder
〇 I look at her
□ I look at him
〇 Then I look at me
□ I look at myself
〇 And again
□ Yet again
〇 I cannot look away
□ That is chilling
〇 Nice to meet me I guess
□ I do not have the words for it
〇 I touch my face
□ I see our faces
〇 She touches my face
□ I feel us
〇 I poke her, cannot find the word
□ He feels me
〇 Is this.. What glass is?
□ My database learns reflection
〇 Her, me, her, me, her, me, her, me....
□ Us, times again
〇 I tried to count, impossible!
□ ...To infinity, it's no use
〇 There's tinier mes in hers
□ We are like Russian dolls
〇 Reflective?...
□ Duplication
The same moment stretched on. At the corner of the room, Veronica observes, leaning on the chair she is sitting on, she yawns « This is shockingly boring... 12 minutes of absolutely nothin' » She squeeze glances to try and make out what they are doing
Glisten was getting headaches from looking at the slightly reflective surface so snapped his gaze away for a minute, Vee vaguely waved a small “Hi” and tried to follow his glassface
Veronica has enough and stands up in a brusque move « That's enough » She brought the attention to herself for a second then they continued staring. Ver grunted, pinching her temple
Suddenly she picks Glisten away he is confused but he doesn't struggle. Vee just watches them go, that always happens after appointments
Soon she is back to chat with Vee, to understand and log the research and behavior
☆ Thoughts kept on,
At times where they are togheter both of them stay still for just a mini-moment
Just for an instant • Face to face
