reawakened muse - canon is Hybrid Child

[cunningdoll]

So, we're doing this again. I gotta say, I'm glad you haven't forgotten me.

I'm a bit sad that that friend of mine - you know the one - hasn't been seen in awhile. But I'm not going to turn down new friends - and bed-mates.

Just make sure to let me find a kitchen nearby. I wanna make some cakes!

Just because your friend has not been seen in a while, doesn't mean they are not around somewhere.

[cunningdoll]

I suppose. My mun sent their mun a message some months back, but hasn't received a response. So we're just assuming that they're focusing on other things in life in the meantime.

It's just a little sad.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Just look at it like a new start?

[He...is not exactly the best soothsayer in the world. Either to himself or others.]

[cunningdoll]

I kind of am already. I'm adaptable, if nothing else.

I am Haruki. Pleased to meet you.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Good to know...Harold Krebs.

[cunningdoll]

So, I gotta ask. Why did you decide to approach me at all?

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Why not? My mun seems to think I got to be more social.

[cunningdoll]

Well, it IS the best way to obtain friendships.

Or a roll in the sheets.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Can't say I'm really interested in the later.

[Or the former.]

[cunningdoll]

Each to their own.

*He's kind of addicted, so it's hard to shake off the impulse sometimes.*

What about sweets?

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Would depend on the sweets I suppose.

[cunningdoll]

For me, if it's sweet, I want it. But vanilla anything always, always takes the proverbial cake.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Vanilla's alright.

[It's plain, creamy and oh so delicious.]

...I suppose it might be one my favorites as well.

[cunningdoll]

No foolin'?

*Looking at you like you just told him that he's gonna get all the sweets in the world and then some (aka: much more excited than his icons show.) Yay, vanilla buddies!*

[lifewithnoconsequence]

[That look may be making him feel kind of uncomfortable there guy.]

...I guess?

[This phrase has not been invented yet, good sir. What is this "No fooling" business to which you speak?]

[cunningdoll]

*OMG so excite!*

Sweet!

*Just. So excite!*

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Is it? Always kind of thought it to be ordinary.

[He is going to back up now.]

[cunningdoll]

...Huh?

Oh, that's a slang term, in this context. I'm just... really happy. People often say "chocolate is my favorite ever!" and... yeah....

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Guess that's true. Got to say, I couldn't care either way. Just prefer vanilla more. Got less bite to it.

[cunningdoll]

*Taking the note of the increased distance between them. Sigh. He can understand why he might want more space. Haruki knows that his mind isn't exactly like others' (aka: neuro-typical.)*

...I see.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

[More like this guy is rather excitable. Krebs does not typically do excitable anymore.]

What?

[cunningdoll]

*Pointing at the space between them.*

You moved away a bit.

So if I'm doing something "weird" and you need me to stop, just tell me.

[lifewithnoconsequence]

No, just felt like you were a bit too close?

[He guesses? In truth Harold is probably the strange one here. She'll shock has a tendency to do that to a person. He does not particularly enjoy having people within a certain amount of space. Unless they were family.]

[cunningdoll]

That would count. Just tell me if it happens again.

I feel emotions more intensely than others, so when I get excited, it can be.. a bit much.

*Making sure to try and keep the distance between them in mind now.*

[lifewithnoconsequence]

[He probably cannot make a guarantee of telling him. It just happens automatically.]

You a quack then?

[A psychologist he means.]

[cunningdoll]

A what now?

*He doesn't get the reference at all.*

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Therapist, psychologist. A doctor.

[cunningdoll]

What? No. What gave you that idea?

*Tch. Smoke, smoke... he pulls out a joint and a lighter, then looks at him.*

Do you mind if I smoke?

[lifewithnoconsequence]

Said you're sensitive to a person's emotions.

[A shrug, Krebs really did not care. Sure some people can't handle the smoke, but what was bad about a cigarette or two.]

No, should I be?

[cunningdoll]

I didn't say that. I said that my emotions are sensitive. I have strong emotions. Weirdo, putting words in my mouth.

*A pause, though, and he lights up. The smell of weed - not tobacco - fills the air as he takes a drag. Smoke comes out as he speaks.*

Not everyone likes suddenly feeling ravenous. Some people even hate the smell. Among other things.
