[ The Archive is staring at the screen, face impassive and also smeared with chocolate. ] I generally believe very strongly in a healthy diet for children—

[ There's an obvious but coming, but the sentence in abandoned in favour of eating a cookie. ]

I find it difficult to care today. [ Turning her head, addressing someone off-screen: ] Mr Leon, can we have fries for dinner?

True, they aren't very fun to have, are they? Still, nothing wrong with a few cookies in a day. Or fries! I'm not sure what fries are but they must be pretty good.

[archivy]

If you have never had fries, you should come and have some as well. They are very tasty.

[undespairing]

Okay! I'm always willing to try something new. What are they, anyway?

[archivy]

Potato sticks deep-fried in oil.

[undespairing]

Ohh that does sound good!

[archivy]

They are very good. Also not very healthy, though.

[undespairing]

So as long as we don't eat too much of it we're fine, right?

[archivy]

Correct.

[undespairing]

Got it. Safety first!

What's your name, by the way? I'm Elmer.

[archivy]

I am the Archive.

[undespairing]

The Archive? That's an interesting name. Or is that a title?

[archivy]

It is both who and what I am.

[undespairing]

Oh, I see, I see. Y'know, I used to be called the Child of Calamity and Light back in the day. Your name sounds better though, much more understandable.

[archivy]

I like your name.

[undespairing]

Do you? Haha...thanks.

[archivy]

It seems more cheerful than mine.

[undespairing]

Archives are great though! All the knowledge a budding alchemist could ever want.

I never actually understood the calamity part of that title, come to think of it. I'm glad it sounds cheerful! Cheerful's good.

[archivy]

It is my purpose to preserve knowledge, not to employ it.

[undespairing]

Hm...I don't see why you can't do both.

[archivy]

It is not my purpose.

[undespairing]

Do you like your purpose? I don't have one, myself, or at least not one I've been assigned, but having one is good! Adds a little meaning to life.

[archivy]

I do not like or dislike it.

[undespairing]

Hm...having a neutral opinion is better than a negative one at least.

[archivy]

That is certainly true in most situations. I am a neutral entity. Neutrality, in my case, is better than a positive opinion as well.
