upcoming plot @ gargleblasted

[ineuphony]

Why should I get excited about being stuck in a room watching romance movies with this Karkat guy? Sounds more like torture to me. Why can't I be forced into reading it instead?

-- At least that way, I can manipulate the words and change the story into something different entirely.

...yeah.

[ineuphony]

I-It's a little weird...

[didhishomework]

Well... I mean, I'm not particularly fond of questions like that, since they're kind of hard to answer. It's not really something you should think too hard about.

[ineuphony]

I guess. It's just odd that I've gotten to not appealing to anyone and then to... appealing in just a few weeks.

[didhishomework]

Maybe your charm points went up somehow in that time.

[ineuphony]

I guess so.

( a pause. )

Er... -- Thanks...

[didhishomework]

Uh... no problem. I guess. I'm also guessing that this means that other guys than me have been saying the same thing.

[ineuphony]

A boy confessed he liked me a few week ago. And another told me during the festival that I'm pretty as a doll.

[didhishomework]

Wow. This has been quite a month for you, huh?

[ineuphony]

Yeah and I don't know how to deal with it.

[didhishomework]

Well... just remember what I said last time. The first thing you should do is take what's going on one step at a time. You're not really in a rush to do anything, are you?

[ineuphony]

Yeah...

[didhishomework]

Then, try not to rush. Think calmly and rationally about what's going on.

...how do you get yourself in these messes?

[ineuphony]

I wonder about that every day.

[didhishomework]

[Seriously, he'd actually probably swap, with girls complimenting HIM on what he's doing and his looks.]

Well, look at it this way. You haven't agreed to a date with both of them yet, right?

[ineuphony]

W-What...? Of course not! One is way too young for me and the other... ( a pause. ) -- He's definitely cute, but... we're just friends.

[didhishomework]

[Wow, that pause. Well, probably nothing.]

Then, there isn't much for you to worry about.

[ineuphony]

Yeah. You're right...

[didhishomework]

Yeah. That's why things like this plot are good as a momentary distraction.

[ineuphony]

I don't know. The... uh, meme our muns are doing now with us isn't much of a distraction...

[didhishomework]

Well... yeah, I'll admit. Not that good of one.
