...on the username choice.

[getspunched]

[[OOC: New muse is new. Please be gentle. MUN IS FRIGHTENED ATM.]]

... [STARE.]

What makes you think I have something to say?

[There's a light frown, then a sigh. Okay, maybe he does have something to say.]

Tch. By the way, that's--[Points to the username.]--not funny. No way in hell did it require laughing for ten solid minutes. [Okay, it wasn't that long. God, you're just picky. :| Why did you have to out your mun's dorkiness like that.]

...

...But, at least it's better than the other one you have for me.

[...Yeah, that username is terrible and mun should feel terrible but kind of doesn't since it's not the most horrible thing she's ever done... And Shinji isn't going to say what the username is. He refuses. :c]

I suppose that can be a good mindset... depending on the situation. Oh well. I still doubt it's all that bad.

[ But he'd rather not push his luck in getting information right now. ]

So did she really laugh like that?

[getspunched]

[Sighing, he gives the dark-haired guy a sideways glance, staring just for a moment. Okay, so he's not the most persistent guy he's ever dealt with, but he's certainly up there on the list.]

...Yeah. [Pause.] Maybe not quite that long, but it was still bad enough.

[wiselike]

Sorry to hear that.

[ Well, a little sorry. ]

Look at the bright side, though: a mun in a good generally means good things for you!

[getspunched]

[He doesn't believe the guy's sorry, actually. Because...why would he be? He doesn't know him.]

Yeah, I doubt that.

[He hasn't heard very many good things about this one.]

[wiselike]

[ It's good to be able to laugh at yourself, but it's not always fun to be laughed at. It's something he can understand. ]

Not much in the "faith in humanity department," eh?

[getspunched]

[Persistent and a genius, he sees.]

Tch. Whatever gave you that idea?

[Have a bit of deadpan sarcasm to brighten your day.]

[wiselike]

You're going to stress yourself out if you don't have a little flexibility and a few ounces of faith in other people.

[getspunched]

[STARE.]

What do you care?

[Despite the tone, it's actually a very legitimate question.]

[wiselike]

Ah, well... it's not like I have any reason to feel animosity toward you for starters. I suppose I always have the option of being indifferent to you, but I prefer wishing for the general well-being of others instead. After all, just because we don't know each other well now doesn't mean we won't in the future. I guess the short answer is: I care about your well-being because I don't dislike you.

[Ken, here, is a really nice person, obviously. He turns his face away from the stranger. After a couple of seconds, he gives him a sideways glance.]

Listen, kid...[Lets out an annoyed sigh.]...save yourself the trouble and don't worry about someone like me.

[wiselike]

[ Still a kid at sixteen, huh? Fair enough. ]

It's not like worrying about you means I'm going out of my way... and you make it sound like you're about to do something dramatic.

[getspunched]

[It's the...super positive attitude, or something--because, Shinjiro's only eighteen. Or it could be he has an old man personality.

...Dramatic, huh? Pretty good for an assumption by a perfect stranger. Even if that's not his reason for telling Ken that. He's liking this conversation less and less, though. The stranger's not shy to ask questions; and, he's asking some very annoying ones.]

What of it?

[Sorry, Ken, it's nothing personal. He's...always this pleasant. His own best friend doesn't even have luck talking to him. Hands pressed firmly in his pockets, he's looking straight at the slightly younger guy now.]

Seriously, if you're looking to waste time, you're better off doing it with somebody else. I'm not somebody to bother yourself with.

[He sounds even more annoyed, now.]

[wiselike]

[ He can sense how annoyed the other man's becoming. His inner voice tells him heeeey, maybe he should back off now; his curiosity insists that he be persistent. Things don't look too dangerous now, so maybe... ]

I'm sorry, but I don't honestly consider this conversation a waste of time. Do you?

[ Sure, he can probably guess the answer, but he still prefers to ask. There are times when people surprise him, after all. ]

[getspunched]

[Fortunately, for Ken, things will never look dangerous. At most, he'll just walk away.]

... [Really?

Seriously, stranger, you must really be lacking in the better things to do area. HE should be the one apologizing prior to this response. Alas, he's just a big meanie.]

Considering it's likely not gonna go anywhere, it is a waste of time.
