on mun writing personality section for apparently no reason;

[downplaying]

I won't say you're wasting your time, because writing it is obviously serving a purpose, but all thoughts you may have about joining a game... Scratch those. Delete them. Whatever figure of speech works for a writer like you.

Vincent won't be going, so neither will I. It's that simple.

[nomorefeathers]

That's probably for the best.

[downplaying]

Probably. I'd just get myself in trouble.

[nomorefeathers]

Or hurt. Or worse.

[downplaying]

It feels kind of futile referring to my journalistic background here. I've looked into those games and no life and death situation I've found myself in matches up.

[nomorefeathers]

Sometimes I think it's a wonder anyone survives any of them at all. Then again, so many of the inhabitants of such places are less than completely human. Which I suppose helps.

[downplaying]

Normality is suddenly in need of some serious reinterpretation, in a place like that.

[nomorefeathers]

Indeed. Then again, it is certainly not dull. So there is that.

[downplaying]

I went freelance to live a quieter life, so it's safe to say I don't mind a little boredom. [He smiles, jokingly.] In my old age.

[nomorefeathers]

That's fair and more than fair.

But you're hardly old

[downplaying]

She thinks so.

[nomorefeathers]

Good thing her opinion isn't objective truth then, now isn't it?

[downplaying]

Her opinion shapes my world, so I think I would be a fool not to ascribe her any credit.

[nomorefeathers]

I suppose. But in this she's wrong, so...

[justcrywolf]

You're kind of making it sound like I'm holding you back from having fun.

[downplaying]

But I didn't mean it like that.

[justcrywolf]

You sure? Maybe you'd meet Harry Potter or something.

[downplaying]

I'd rather have a chance at interviewing Jesus and none of these games allow religious figures. [He frowns.] I really don't want to go, Vincent.

[justcrywolf]

Then don't. [Shrug.] Whatever.

[downplaying]

[Sigh.]

Remind me to, I don't know, lock this stuff from you in the future or something.

[justcrywolf]

What the fuck. Why?

[downplaying]

I'm trying to avoid you going into bitch mode at me, love.

[justcrywolf]

Oh, don't worry. Nowhere close.

[downplaying]

Sure felt like it.

[justcrywolf]

Sorry. [Pause.] I'm glad, though.

[downplaying]

First nice thing you've said to me all day. Good thing we have that other thread going or I'd think you'd stopped loving me.
