I don't know why you'd ruin a perfectly good cup of coffee with sugar and cream.

Enjoy isn't the right word. I find the way a story is told as valuable as the contents of a story itself.

[penpoint]

I'm certain there are some people who like it, somewhere. You might surprise me and like sugar, cream, and that sugary caramel syrup that I see people get sometimes.

Are you good at being able to tell if someone is lying to you, Kirigiri-chan? I feel like you'd almost have to be when interrogating.

[freshprints]

I've tried it that way before. It's not to my taste.

I'm equally good at telling when someone is being patronizing, but I'm sure you've already guessed that.

[penpoint]

If you need things like that, you don't actually like coffee.

Do believe that I think you're an idiot? I don't need to talk down to you.

[freshprints]

No, I don't believe you think I'm an idiot. I do believe you think you're superior to me, and act like it.

[penpoint]

I am superior to a lot of people, Kirigiri-chan. It was still a legitimate question.

[freshprints]

I also believe I'm a better interrogator than you. You've yet to get anything of value out of me.

[penpoint]

[ Oh -- well then. ]

I don't know if I'd call this an interrogation. Certainly, if my work required me to interrogate people, I'd become the best possible.

I certainly learned plenty, though. Besides, how a character takes their coffee can be important in the right story.

[freshprints]

I thought you wanted to use your Stand to read me. That's why you contacted me, isn't it?

Are you really content with just something like how I take my coffee?

[penpoint]

Yes, I do. I anticipated that you would protest the idea.

I always want more, of course. I don't allow myself to be satisfied and just stop. That's how you stagnate. If I'm not getting better, there's no point.

[freshprints]

And if I decide not to protest? How are you going to compensate me for letting you have access to the wealth of information inside me?

[penpoint]

I guess I'll have to figure that out. I'm figuring a page-by-page rate, though.

Maybe something in addition to Synchrony. Using a Stand can cost quite a bit of Manna.

[freshprints]

I want proof of your "editing" ability.

I'll decide on something irrefutable and you'll do it. I'll proceed to test it to ensure its veracity. If I'm convinced, we'll decide on a going rate.

[penpoint]

This sounds like a fair arrangement.

Proof is easy enough. I can also add time limits and rules to what I edit.

[freshprints]

Good. I'll require a little time to put together appropriate experimental conditions.

Certainty, for something like this, is critical.

[penpoint]

You know where to find me, Kirigiri-chan.

[freshprints]

Kishibe-sensei, it's my turn to ask a question of you, I think.

Before you return to whatever important thing you were doing, that isn't salacious novels.

[penpoint]

Taking a break from working on some pieces.

What's the question?

[freshprints]

Have you ever fantasized about me?

[penpoint]

What -

I have thought about that time you got wings from an inspiration standpoint.

But not really otherwise.

[ He does, a little, but he doesn't know if he wants to admit it. At least it's by text, right? ]

[freshprints]

I don't believe you.

It's not really fair of you to lie when, as I understand it, you'll be able to read my own answer for yourself once I let you open my book with your Stand.

[penpoint]

[ HEY WHAT THE FUCK -- He's definitely clutching his phone and staring at it for a few minutes trying to decide how to respond to this. He stares...stares...and -- ]

Fine. Sometimes. It's not like it's anything noteworthy.

[ He should quit now, he's already lost this one. ]

[freshprints]

I wonder if I'll feel it when you're running your fingers over the pages inside me.

[...Okay, now she's just doing it on purpose.]

You touched my wings so reverently. I wonder if you'll treat my inner book the same way.

[penpoint]

You may, just a little.

[ Okay, really. ]

Only because we have an arrangement.

[freshprints]

...

What would happen if you damaged my inner book?
