recent apps and plurk are enough to get a girl's hopes up

If you're having so much trouble putting together this "fishing post" thing, maybe you should just set it aside for a while and try again later. I know how much you want to see all these different people from my world and there are a few I'd love to see again myself, but you can't force creativity. Go do something else for a while, get your head together, and then come back and see what you can come up with. It's not like I'm gonna run off in the meantime.

...This is what you're using? Really? I don't think this is going to impress anybody we don't already know, but you're the boss.

You never run, do you.

[exloserspromise]

Well. Not away from trouble. [Here, have a self-deprecating smile! It's better than some of the alternatives.]

I heard I'd be seeing you around, but I didn't quite believe it. How're, uh, things?

[notrosie]

Less eventful, now you're gone. Although they may not stay that way for long.

[exloserspromise]

Really? What's going on over there?

[frosti]

Perhaps your mun needs a break da?

[slewthetyrant]

You think that sort of thing really works?

[liugan]

You should never encourage procrastination, Captain.

[notrosie]

War, and the aftermath of war. There's a lot of cleaning up to do. [ She's . . . not cheerful, but certainly stoic. It needs doing, so she's helping to do it. ]

[exloserspromise]

She probably does, but if past experience is anything to go by she'll keep at it until she has to take a break.

[exloserspromise]

[Shrug.] Hasn't for us so far, but she's still willing to try.

[exloserspromise]

There's a difference between procrastination and a strategic retreat.

[slewthetyrant]

Let me know if it does, I could use some familiar faces.

Though with my luck, they'd end up being the wrong ones.

[frosti]

That's a bad way to go. Restraint is good for the soul.

[liugan]

They do not see it as retreat. They see it as an opportunity to busy themselves with other, less important matters.

[exloserspromise]

How long's it been? I hear the war ended not too long after I went under, but no one's told me anything specific.

[exloserspromise]

You won't find me arguing. This still seems to be better than she used to be, though: no moderation at all.

[exloserspromise]

You should try sometime anyway. Luck can't get you anywhere if you don't try in the first place.

[frosti]

You're quite the character Mister Rogers. I find it funny to find you so comprehensive.

[exloserspromise]

I'm pretty sure sleep is at least as important as letting us stretch our legs.

[wwii]

Doesn't impress everybody you do know, either. [ hey, punk. ]

[exloserspromise]

Well, I'm the only one up here. It's not like I can spend all day playing poker.

[notrosie]

A few months. We're not long out of it. Ah - May 30, 1945 is the official date, I suppose.

[frosti]

Perhaps...

Do you mind if I change the subject?

[slewthetyrant]

I'm not sure you should encourage her, Steve. You know how she is. [SUSPICIOUS GLANCE AT THE EASILY-ENABLED MUN. Who is trying to look totally innocent.] This is how I always end up with ill-advised posts.

[exloserspromise]

Hey, just because your taste is limited to whether something looks good in a dress doesn't mean others can't be dazzled by my mere presence. [jerk.]
