Two years, pumpkin. Two years since the last time we spoke here. Doesn't matter if we're two entries down on the tag, that's still a two year gap and I'm all kinds of heartbroken that it's been this long. Dusty as fuck up in here.

I won't be too hard on ya. Just remember that this means you don't hate me anymore. Bitch about it all you want, it's your own fault for getting me all antsy. You didn't have to go back and catch up on everything that's happened, that's all on you.



No, I don't want to go anywhere. I'm just here to point out your own fuckups and laugh about it. It's funny as shit.

Hm... so you're the person (in general) that my mun's been considering picking up "Abel" for.

It's pretty funny. She keeps rereading it all from end to end and back again and keeps going "how should I do this? What if I fuck up? How do I do anything with this primping princess?!" and other such junk.

[seperalis]

Happens to the best of us. The primping tends to get out of hand, but here's a hint: throw something at him.

[cur_of_ceres]

[That gets a laugh out of her.]

I suppose that will have to do, won't it? Other than 'you don't know if you can do it until you try' first.

What stuff have you thrown at him? I'm more of the "punch it in the face until it stops annoying me" type, so throwing things isn't precisely my specialty.

[neonhighlights]

[He's just sort of poking his head out of some random corner. CLEARLY you cannot keep this boy away for long. Though, if spotted, he'll be pretending to work on something on his laptop. That something being space pinball. Yup.]

[seperalis]

[ fuck you Abel if you beat his space pinball high score he is both kicking your ass and holding out on you for a month. ]

Geez, it suddenly smells blonde and whiny in here.

[neonhighlights]

[He's a navigator, Cain. A special snowflake navigator too! So you can already expect that he's beaten your pinball score about an hour ago. But don't worry, he hasn't touched your candy crush score yet.

Also nope, still pretending to busy himself.]

[seperalis]

[ go anywhere near his candy crush score and Cain will personally make sure Abel's hair gets up close and personal with his electric razor. he'll do it. he's mature like that.

also fuck you pay attention to him !!! that is your purpose in life, isn't it?





okay fine Cain just grumps and stomps over to where Abel's "hiding" and peers over his shoulder. ]

[neonhighlights]

[Abel was really getting into his pinball game. You'd think a workaholic navigator like him would be too mature for silly video games. But deep down, Abel was a child. A child that was waaaaaay past Cain's pinball high score.

Sorry, not sorry. More ignoring.]

[seperalis]

[ well fine, if Abel's going to be that way, Cain's going to reach over and swipe the laptop from him, and jfc he's already doubled his high score what a complete loser. ]

Christ, Abel, would've thought you were doing something important with your eyes glued to the screen like that.

[neonhighlights]

Wh--Hey!

[He was about to reach an all zero score Cain! ALL ZERO. Not only would that mean he destroyed your old high score. But it'd be a fun thing to get a screen shot of and show to all his navigator friends with OCD. Wait, more important things here.

Abel gets up and tries reaching for his laptop.]

Give it back!!

[seperalis]

[ yeah, he sees that score, and that's exactly why he closes out of the game before any screencapping can happen. that's what you get for trying to beat his scores, pal. gotta learn your place.

and Cain will play keep-away for 0.5 seconds first, before haphazardly tossing the laptop back at Abel. better catch it before it crashes to the ground. ]

Whoops.

[neonhighlights]

[Really, you'd think being a navigator, Abel would have spot on hand eye coordination. But even that didn't save his poor innocent laptop from crashing into the floor. The same laptop that had all his file. His pre-Sleipnir files.

This may actually be the first time Abel got so mad he started shaking. But no. He couldn't even say a word.

Deep breaths Abel. You love Cain, remember?]

[seperalis]

[ please, Abel. don't look so heartbroken. it's the future and you're in space, the most you'll have to worry about with the laptop is a cracked screen. and you're a huge nerd so you have five billion backups of everything ever, right? right. probably.

Cain obviously doesn't give a rat's ass. he gives the grounded laptop a quick glance before folding his arms, shoulders shrugging. ]

Your fault for not catching it.

[neonhighlights]

[He did, and he probably does have backs up for most of his files. But not all of them. Why? Because he's tends to get so into his work...he forgets things. He knew that forgetfulness would be the end of him, some day. But right now?

Just know your candy crush high score was in that laptop. Meaning that's gone now too.]

...go to hell.

[seperalis]

[ wow, so clearly it is all 100% Abel's fault because he should know Cain's going to fuck things up and backups are important.

of course, sentimentality isn't a thing that registers with Cain at all so Abel's sudden outburst is more funny than it is insulting. it's just a laptop, it can be fixed or easily replaced, anything important related to missions or research can be put right back in there. ]

Already there, princess.

Go report it to the techs if it's such a big deal.

[neonhighlights]

[Princess? What happened to Wifey? Wait no, he's got more important things to deal with. Namely gathering up the pieces of his poor laptop and checking to see which parts are still working. Really Cain? Tech? You're fucking the biggest nerd on the ship. Do you really think he needs techs? You hurt him.

Well hurt him more than he already was.]

Maybe I'll go ask for another fighter while I'm there.

[He doesn't mean that.]

[seperalis]

[ princess wifey cupcake snuggle boo?

and see, it's really not that bad. replace a couple parts, dust off the screen, it'll be fine. Cain just finds the whole thing amusing and snorts at Abel's comeback. really? a new fighter? yeah, because the Commander will give up on the whole plan just because Abel can't catch a laptop. ]

Go ahead. Let me know what they say.

[ sure, he's already had a navigator switch out on him, but that was different. ]

[neonhighlights]

[He just glares, and glares and glares and glares. Until he realized that this was all because Cain wanted his attention, riiight?

Well. Let the ignoring continue.]
