on recent happenings in poly_chromatic

[saidrepent]

Fine. I guess everyone was right, after all.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to admit it, at least not there.

Comments

[brb_comiket]

What were they right about?

[saidrepent]

[A pause.]

Do I know you?

[brb_comiket]

I don't think so.
[She extends her hand to him.]
Harumi Fujiyoshi.

[saidrepent]

Then it doesn't matter.

[Still, he wasn't actually expecting her to introduce herself. He looks at her hand for a beat before taking and shaking it.]

Raymond Leon.

[brb_comiket]

Nice to meet you! So what were they right about?

[...She doesn't even skip a beat.]

[saidrepent]

[Neither does he.] Like I said: it doesn't matter.

[brb_comiket]

[Boo, Ray.] Is it something personal?

[saidrepent]

It is. [And that's all she's getting. Hopefully.]

[brb_comiket]

Something bad?

[saidrepent]

Why are you interested?

[brb_comiket]

You look like the stern, calculating type. I was curious if that was really the case.

[saidrepent]

[He pauses again, mulling that over. Or at least pretending to.]

That sounds about right.

[brb_comiket]

[Examining him] But if everyone was able to figure something out that even you won't admit, there's obviously more to it. So is it related to your past? Or something romantic?

[saidrepent]

[This girl isn't going to give up, is she.]

Try neither.

[brb_comiket]

[Prrroobably not.]

You're not going to tell me even if I guessed it, are you?

[totallyinaband]

I find when everyone but me is in a consensus about something, a lot of the time they're right. Not always, obviously. But you know.

[saidrepent]

I'm pretty sure this is a one-time deal.

[totallyinaband]

You're certain?

[saidrepent]

Certain enough.

[totallyinaband]

So what were people right about, anyway?

[saidrepent]

[A pause. He knows this guy is also in the City, but he doesn't know him quite that well.]

Nothing important.

[totallyinaband]

You don't have to tell me if you don't want, but it's clearly important. You wouldn't have come here to talk about it if it weren't.

[saidrepent]

[He shrugs.] It's not important enough that I'm about to talk to anyone about it in detail.

[totallyinaband]

Now that's just teasing, man.

[saidrepent]

Are you really that interested?

[totallyinaband]

I am now that you've talked about. Human nature, man.

[saidrepent]

If that's the case, then you'd have better luck asking someone else.

[totallyinaband]

Like I said. Tease.

[saidrepent]

[He shrugs.] Not my problem.

[totallyinaband]

Well you know, man. People usually come on this place to vent. I know I do. You're not doing a super amount of venting, here.

[saidrepent]

I can vent without having to let the whole world know that I slept with—

[Oh. Uh. Whoops.

Give him a moment to get his composure back under control, Stephen.]

Anyway. I'm venting well enough.

[totallyinaband]

[Oh mai. Such juicy gossip. Do go on.]

That's all you're worried about, man? We're all adults here. I think everyone can assume people are having sex in the City.

[saidrepent]

[Grgh, how about no.]

That's not really the point, but whatever.

[totallyinaband]

It must have been a big deal if you need to come on here to talk about it.

[saidrepent]

It's not the sex that was a big deal, it's... [Wait. Back up.

He shakes his head.] Never mind. I'm not going into detail on this.

[totallyinaband]

You seem like you want to.

[saidrepent]

I don't.

[totallyinaband]

Fine, man. Whatever you say.

[orangetoughguy]

[Just kind of not saying anything here.]

[saidrepent]

[Hey, that works for him. Look at how casual he's being right now. Woo.]
