tl;dr - how do i shot interpersonal anything

[explosivecombat]

Miss,

How has it been over a month already? Last I checked, these plans you'd set in motion were only supposed to last into the next two weeks. Unless, of course, there's something you're not telling me; that's entirely possible, and given the fact that it wouldn't go over well at all were you to voice these things to me, I can't say that I blame you.

Companionship has never been anything I require; when it comes to personal preference, I work alone. Dependence on anyone else is out of the question; surely you remember that I survive on merit of my own achievements? If I can't do at least that much, then the rights to survival aren't mine to claim in the first place.

Is any of this sounding familiar yet?

Ah, don't misunderstand me - I'm hardly angry with you. If nothing else, I'm rather content with this "second chance" you've seen fit to offer me; the fact that I'm surrounded by sentient explosives certainly helps your case, and in that regard I think you've managed to do rather well by me. This is a minor setback; I've dealt with far more seemingly 'hopeless' cases than this.

That said, do work all of this whatnot out of your system in a timely manner; this is getting somewhat ridiculous, and I have work to get back to.

[OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING, KIMBLEE]

[WE WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THIS QUIET!!!!]

Well it's good to see you have so little faith in me.

[GREAT NOW HIS WHOLE BRAIN WILL SOB FOR THE NEXT... EVER. THANKS, KIMBLEE. HE NEEDED THAT.]

[explosivecombat]

[I'm sorry, who was the one broadcasting their request for assistance with this sort of thing all over the actual Network? And it's not as though he's named anyone; no one would have known had you not said anything!

See? It works out.]

My, my. When did I ever say anything like that?

[glaciates]

[That was supposed to go to one person and you know it! It's not his fault he's a failure!! ...Wait...]

Isn't that what you implied? You didn't expect this to last two weeks.

[...Managing to be modest and self-centered at the same time? He's magical like that.]

[explosivecombat]

[Oh, don't worry, it's rather clear by now that you run on magic and wishes and you're just kind of a special boy in general.]

I should think you'd be used to that by now; I gave you far less than two weeks in Ishval, and that was a matter of survival.

[glaciates]

[Yes he-- Hey wait!]

Great. You're learning.

[UGH KIMBLEE WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS...]

[explosivecombat]

Well, it hardly matters now, does it? After all, you've managed to outlast those two weeks set forth originally - if anything, I'd think you'd be pleased.

[glaciates]

Well, yeah, of course I am.

[..............]

So how long do I have now, huh?

[explosivecombat]

[...smartass.]

Why don't we see how optimistic I'm feeling later and I'll get back to you.

[glaciates]

[You've taught him well~]

If these have been your optimistic guesses, I'd hate to see your pessimistic ones.

[explosivecombat]

[So he has.]

Just be pleased that you haven't lived up to any of them. Let's put it that way, shall we?

[glaciates]

That bad, huh? You know I don't want to disappoint you.

[explosivecombat]

[...what is this logic.]

You'd know by now if you were.

[glaciates]

[You should know better than to apply logic to any of my characters Isaac, Kimblee~]

Yeah, that's true. Thanks for that, by the way. It's a lot easier to relax around you, knowing that.

[explosivecombat]

[...oh. well.

goodness, that's awkward, isn't it]

Of course, Isaac.

[No, really, he never knows what to do with these general sentiments of "Wow, Kimblee, thank you for not being a raging douchebag"

either you are not expecting him to understand how to social

or you have dealt with a lot of raging douchebags

...or at least douchebags that rage hard enough to make Kimblee not look like a raging douchebag somehow]

[glaciates]

[...It's more like "Isaac doesn't know how to social and everyone gets sick of it eventually" but close enough right?]

Yeah.

[............no but seriously, who turned up the awkward in here. orz orz orz Sorry he fails at conversation, senior!!]

[explosivecombat]

[...it's...fine...]

Either way - I suppose I'll just have to see how this goes, won't I?

[It's going to screw itself sideways within the next month; he'll ensure it.]

[glaciates]

[You'll ensure it? Why? Aren't you enjoying this? >: ]

Yeah. You're not going to get rid of me too easily, you know.

[HE IS A DETERMINATOR, KIMBLEE!!]

[explosivecombat]

[Mm, he's rather enjoying himself, really. Relationships have just never been anything he indulges in for too long. It's nothing personal.]

I haven't been trying, mind you.

[glaciates]

[Is there any response to this that isn't "aww man >:"?]

I know that.

[Herp tho. But this means so much you don't understand!!]

[explosivecombat]

[probably not tbh]

Well, you certainly seem pleased.

[glaciates]

Yeah, of course I am. I've really been enjoying myself too, Kimblee.

[8D THO!!!!]

[explosivecombat]

[That expression is horrifying

and it will never not be horrifying]

Yes, I can tell.

[glaciates]

[IT DOESN'T PROPERLY EXPRESS JUST HOW EXCITE HE IS THO!!!!!]

I'm that obvious, huh?

[explosivecombat]

Just a little.

[glaciates]

[...orz]

[Just orz forever.]

...Sorry...?

[...okay maybe there's some herp there too.]

[explosivecombat]

[...wh...]

Well, there's no need to apologize.

[glaciates]

Well you got that... look.

[Um, how does he explain it...]

You know, the one where you just kind of wonder what the hell kind of state the world is in? That look?

[explosivecombat]

...I think I know what you're referring to, yes, though it's obviously a bit difficult for me to know what it looks like myself.

[glaciates]

Well, yeah, I guess it would be.

[Unless you're standing there making faces at the mirror. Which would just be dumb, come on now.]

[explosivecombat]

[...yes, Isaac, that was the point.]

...exactly.

[glaciates]

[...orz again]

[nothing but orz]

[this thread has become just as awkward as anything that happens in game]

[a+ kimblee]

[explosivecombat]

[Oh, don't you put this all on him, Captain Social.]

[glaciates]

[...................orz tho]

[This totally isn't his fault!! Totally!!!!]

[...okay it probably is...]

[Sorry, bb???]

[explosivecombat]

[...and this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we can't have nice things.]

[glaciates]

[Oh come on, he didn't even do anything!!!!]
