Oh, shut up. I can be mean to the Tooth Fairy if I want to.

[bewareyourheart]

Why would you be mean to her, then?

[dicey]

She was talking about Easter, so I told her it was a stupid as shit holiday. That's all.

[bewareyourheart]

That's another one of those planet-specific holidays I know nothing about.

What makes it stupid?

[dicey]

... It's complicated.

[bewareyourheart]

[damn, girl, your emotions are all over the place. compassionate!mode is activated.]

I bet it is.

[dicey]

[Teenage life is hard ::::(]

That's not sarcasm, right?

[bewareyourheart]

[he shakes his head, smiling kindly.]

It isn't. I don't know what's going on, but I sense much conflict in you. That doesn't usually happen when a situation is simple.

[dicey]

It's not even the holiday stuff that's complicated. That's just dumb.

[bewareyourheart]

I kinda figured.

[dicey]

Yeah.

It's not even her fault. But it's not like I was that mean, so who cares!

[bewareyourheart]

Well...

From where I'm standin', it looks an awful lot like you do.

[dicey]

Not about the mean part.

My player is just an idiot! She makes me post these "out of context" one-liners sometimes.

She's really easily amused.

[bewareyourheart]

Mine once had me talk to an immortal nutcase whose hobby is apparently annoying people to the point that they kill him. So yeah, I get that.

...But I also sense that's not really what's bothering you.

[dicey]

Well, yeah. I already said that.

You know about these games, right? People come and go a lot?

[bewareyourheart]

I've never been to one, but I can imagine. Players are capricious.

[dicey]

Well, I mean, these guys were there for a long time. A year and more than two years.

But they're gone now and I'm still here.

[bewareyourheart]

[oh boy. Anakin knows that feel. So he's just gonna pretend that he's a decent Jedi and offer up some empty platitudes:]

Attachment often leads to suffering.

[dicey]

Don't I know it.

[bewareyourheart]

...Would you stop them from leaving, if you could?

[dicey]

Yeah.

... One of them, anyway. The other one, I'd rather go to his world than bring him back there.
