alas, on gamelessness

[burningdaylight]

Well I ain't gon' pretend I'm not relieved... [Y'know, now that he's not at risk of becoming more of a snaggle-toothed, people-eating ragemonster] so I can't believe I'm sayin' this, but... m'sorry, 'bout it not workin' out. [His brow knits in a sympathetic look. After all, he knows a great deal of what it's like when hopes and plans fall through.] Sometimes everythin' seems jus' right but then, for whatever reason, it don' click, an' there's nothin' you can do.

[Sounds like Luke's drawing on some dating experience.]

It jus'... happens. [He shrugs lamely.] But, hey, man, ain't nothin' wrong with one a' them memes, if you're feelin' up to it. I'm game if you are.

[Luke'll take practically anything over being a people-eating ragemonster, despite the mun being rather delighted with all that stuff with body horror and struggling-with-murderous-instincts.]
