Danzy was startled. His legs stopped moving, he was looking at Exception, who was within 100 feets radius from Danzy.
Should I approach? He was considering it.
Will it cause more stress on my cognition? Ig yes! Let's try it then.
Altho some part inside him was telling him to not pursue this coincidence, he still wanted to
Meet an Exception.
He wants to know how these people interact, and if possible try to perceive their behaviour.
I have held a conversation twice, it will be enough to get going with this one.
Danzy started approaching.
He had just taken 2 steps and that Exception turned their head towards Danzy.
Should I continue? Only thoughts, his legs didn't stop moving.
He was now in front of an exception.
Maline's name was engraved on her cloak.
Purpleish body same as Danzy, except having tattoo on right side there were no noticeable differences to differentiate. (Facial aspects were different)
Should I introduce myself first or wait if she does. If not then I'm running.
"Hello, fellow acquaintance I'm Maline." She said planely.
"Hello." Danzy blanked. He couldn't think of anything at all.
Calm down, calm down.
"Hello, I'm Danzy. My Remee is around 17%."
Damn, why did I mention my Remee?
"Oh, that's nice. Mine is around 24%."
An awkward Silence emerged after a few exchanges.
I shouldn't have started this. Why do I always run behind something without thinking much? It's embarrassing.
"Isn't this Oasis beautiful."
"It is, I haven't seen anything like this before." Maline replied.
"What about you? Since you people live in dorms you have the luxury to wander as you wish." She added.
"I don't think so, how can a dorm be compared to a household?"
"not much difference. It's complicated.
I've met some of our acquaintances, they were either asking- what should they do so that the household takes them in." she paused.
"But how should I tell them that, I don't have any idea. In Fact I myself haven't met Mernhard household chief in charge." she sighed, frustration could be felt from her words.
Great ! Stopping me before I even ask about anything related to household.
"What can you expect from people, who run behind their imagination." Danzy said. From what he heard from Maline, he vaguely guessed that, what rumours are going about households are somewhere wrong.
"Yeah, I analysed that there are rumours. Household folks get training? - I don't know which training we are getting or at least I'm getting. Such lies along with a bunch of fabricated nonsense."
Maybe they don't train Exceptions and have some kind of contract. Maybe I'm wrong but this sounds quite true.
"Sigh, it appears as if there are a bunch of lunatics who want others in dark."
"But then if households actually don't provide such facilities then what do they do ?" he added.
Finally it's got where I wanted it too !
"Hehe, it's something interesting. But I can't tell." Maline said with a laugh.
She does have better control over emotions than me. I haven't seen her flicker even once, whereas I've changed tone and emotions attacked quite a lot.
Yeah, I didn't expect to receive an answer.
"Did you attend your second evaluation?" Danzy asked.
"Nope, it'll be soon."
"I've seen Danzy's name on the list. Isn't that you?" She probed.
"That's true, I will have to attend this evaluation."
"Nice nice, good luck then."
Danzy nodded.
Not attending even though she has surpassed the minimum requirement quite a while ago. Why tho?
A silence emerged in conversation again. But this time it felt complete, as if the conversation had fulfilled its purpose.
"I think we should stop here fellow acquaintance, if not you may suffer from cognitive overuse." Maline evaluated as she felt uneasy changes in Danzy's physique.
It was true, Danzy was about to hit cognitive overuse again.
It should've been better, but it is what it is.
"Farewell then." Danzy said with a bow.
"Bye then." Maline said, and turned. She started taking steps towards exit .
Why am I doing this again? I'm an idiot for sure.
Maline vanished from his sight.
"I could trust her words. But what's the point if it's true or false. Am I in condition to use it ? No. I'll need to be someone who can live on his own. Then matters like information or misinformation will be of some use."
"Alright, let's just proceed with seclusion again."
Danzy left Oasis and headed towards dorm.
Oasis was opposite from Plaza one was towards east another West. Pathway was same till entering main zones.
When he entered Plaza it was only lively. While in Oasis cognitive usage dropped to some degree which was beneficial in a way. That's what made Danzy last till this long, otherwise with such exploration and feelings usages, he would've burned out a while ago.
"Why weren't there many people Inside Oasis Even though it is the most beautiful place in this city?"
"Maybe after my evaluation I'll have some clues about what Working class actually do."
"Except for creating such Juggernaut architecture, which isn't of any use." Danzy said as he looked at some structures which were under construction.
There were many such buildings, towers, and poles inside city. But he hadn't seen anyone near them after construction.
***
Danzy arrived at room, he packed his other robe and plunged crystal into his cloak pocket and headed towards gate.
"It's time to ask for a refund. Hehe."
Danzy stood in front of the screen, a sign appeared, he knew what was to do. He cancelled room. And received his 1 Unitary.
It was ruled that if someone rented a room and left before a year. They would receive a full refund.
"Plaza. I'd thought I will be living here for some years, what a shame, now I'll have to head back there, and depart for evaluation." Danzy said with some regret in his voice. He was interested in exploring some part of this Plaza which wasn't any smaller than Oasis, but he couldn't.
Although he could live here until a day before his evaluation as he will need to leave a day ago. But his mind won't stay still if he doesn't leave now.
