"Okay, uhm..."
Name, space, name...
Space? Space-
"Oh my gods. oH MY GODS-"

"That is composed of three words, so I am not called 'Oh My Gods,'" he remarks drily.
Oh boy. You really did get every negative aspect of me, huh, Galaxian.
"The closer title would be 'In the name of *insert name of deity except Athena here*, dang you!'" he states.
Oh boy.

Echo kind of laughs but she's also now trying to not cry from being overwhelmed with emotions. She's still very much an emotional person.
"Galaxian- I-" Echo kind of covered her mouth, really trying to not cry. She still had mascara on and she didn't want to ruin it. Also she was already embarrassed for not realizing sooner, so she thought crying would be even more embarrassing.

"That's just one word," he goes before he breaks into his little unnatural laugh. "Alright, you finally got it."
Offline
Echo manages a weak, "Yay!" She swallowed back tears and apologized, "I'm sorry it took me so long."
Offline
"No problem. I expected it," he replies breezily.
Offline
"Sorry," Echo apologized again. "How have you been?" She's rather awkward in saying this, but she's Doing Her Best.

Maybe because it'd be awkward for him to continue being a "ghost," or maybe because the narrator knows full well that they will forget that they left him still invisible (hint: Definitely the second reason) and then forego whatever consistency is at this point, Galaxian does appear now. Though, he's still outside of her view at the moment, but she can see him if she turns now. By the way, he was only invisible for the handshake thing before. Before that, he was also fully visible, just...not. If that makes any sense.
He's not really different. Just his usual gradient of blue hair, soullessly black eyes, and...is that an outline of armor nearby him? Hmm.
"Fine," he answers to her question, which according to all the rules of reality and social interactions is most probably a lie. "You?"

"I dunno. I think I'm happy?" Echo replied. She looks everywhere but behind her, which is funny although a bit... stupid on her part. Not that she is a stupid person (usually), she's just... *vague jesture* yeah.

"Good to hear."
Offline
"Yea..." Echo fiddled with her thumbs, not sure of what to add into the conversation.
"So... where've you been at? Seen, uhm, any cool places?" Echo awkwardly asked, not sure if she should really ask that.
Offline
"Not particularly," responds Galaxian without much thought. Perhaps he already thought of his "cool" standards beforehand? Who knows.
Offline
"Oh... hm... There's some nice ponds around here. They have really pretty fish!"
Offline
"Do they have piranhas?" he asks in the most unconcerned tone ever.
Offline
"No, I don't think they do," Echo said. "I've seen piranhas in aquariums before, though! They're really glittery."
Offline
"A pity," states Galaxian. The narrator thinks he just likes fish with teeth at this point.
Offline
Echo thinks Galaxian meant that it was a pity that piranhas are glittery and is now a little confused.
"Do you not like glitter?"

"No negative opinion on it thus far."

Echo paused for a moment, trying to connect dots together before coming to the right conclusion.
"Oh, okay. The fish in the ponds kinda look like koi fish, but I dunno enough about fish to really figure it out."
Offline
"Figure it out?" he repeats, as a question. It seems he doesn't really know what there is to be figured out about it, so enlighten him, please.
Offline
"I mean, like, uhm... identify what kind of fish they are, what breed," Echo tried to specify. "I don't know enough to, uh, to..." She struggled trying to piece together words. "Know what kind of fish they are."

"If you're interested, I probably have books back at my base," he goes, adding the "probably" because if he doesn't, then one of the bookworms in his gang hello Hitan and Firas...(: definitely will.
Offline
Echo smiled slightly at that.
"That would be nice, thank you." She sounds very formal in saying this.
Offline
He remains undaunted. "Well, feel free to stop by at any point in time to get it, preferably during the daytime, however," he says as he just starts...walking off. Apparently he thinks business is finished or that that's a good place to end it, or whatever. Though, he does add, "Hopefully the one who bares the entrance is someone who would know where the books are, but if not, don't be scared of the ones who open the door while holding laser guns. They're harmless, mostly."
'Bares the entrance,' huh.
Offline
"Laser guns? Oh, and where is your base? I don't remember going there before."
Echo is unaware that Galaxian is leaving, or that the conversation is perhaps over.
