re: falling behind

[alchimia]

This time, neither Winry nor Al can blame me for slacking off. S'all your fault and I'm not taking any of the blame. I got no problem with doing those tags 'cause some of them are kinda important.

No, I wasn't referring to those ones. [ cough. ] Though, I guess they're kinda—ahem—important too...

But I was talking 'bout the ones for the event 'cause you've really fallen behind on 'em. There's also that research to finish now the observatory's all patched up (don't look at me that way, how was I supposed to know she'd leave only to come back?). And don't forget 'bout building onto the house. 'Sgonna cost quite a bit of my allotted transmutations, y'know. Even with Al helping. And I'm sure Alfons'll wanna see alchemy, once he gets in...

If you're really that stumped, watch more of the damn movie again. 'Cept if you do that, you better have something strong to drink for me 'cause living through it once was enough. Seeing it all over again, each time... [ NOPE. ]

Anyway— 'fnot that, then do some meme crap or whatever. Just do something. Y'know I hate sitting 'round.

Oi, oi. There's that short fuse again. S'okay, y'know. No one's going anywhere, we'll all be here when you get back.

Uh. Not that you've left...

[ did he just— ]

[alchimia]

You used that metaphor on purpose, dammit! Naruto...

[willoffire]

Meta-whatnow?

[rocketry]

I'd love to see more of your alchemy, yes.

Alfons...

[alchimia]

Heh... [ crooked grin. ] I'm surprised you don't still think 'sjust stories.

[alchimia]

[ sobers. ] Then again...

[alchimia]

I mean...

[ hitches the smile back up again. ]

Sure thing. I can probably even transmute a few telescopes for you.

[rocketry]

Well, you certainly didn't go through the ceiling in my rocket, right?

I'd like that. It's.. um. It's not a strain for you, right? And from what I hear, you.. you have an entire house full of people. I don't mind living somewhere else.

[decks]

Those ones? [Might. Be playing dumb. Maybe.]

It's okay to relax sometimes, you know. You can't be busy all the time.

[alchimia]

Er... [ yes continue to play dumb. he will play dumb too. ] Nothing important.

Anyway... [ cough. ] I know that. I mean, yeah, I guess it's good for her to rest sometimes. But I still hate just sitting around.

[decks]

[coughs to hide a laugh, but yeah, she's got a good idea what he means. doesn't say anything though.]

If you were bored, you could have just told me. I'd have found something for you to do.

[alkahestry]

Technically all of them are important some just more than others, but we all have our moments of down time. A break can often help lead to people being more productive down the line.

Of course, by doing this instead of those other things you and her are really just procrastinating.

[Trust in him to always point those kind of things out, but he's not really one to be impatient and neither is his player.]

[alchimia]

[ at this point, he was practically waiting for Al to pop up with those observations. ]

I'm not procrastinating. I'm trying to get her to do her damn work. Nagging, like you do.

[ winning smile? ]

[alkahestry]

Nagging?

[Yes. His eye is twitching.]

[ineuphony]

Looks like I'm not the only one with falling behind.

[alchimia]

You too, huh? We should kick our muns' asses into shape.

[ineuphony]

It's not all bad. My mun's been putting me through a lot of grief. This "falling behind" thing is a nice break.

[ferroustigmata]

Why would she want to write tags when she gets to spend time in Photoshop looking at your face?

[wow sasha gay.]

[alchimia]

[ well...... ]

That is a pretty good use of time...

[ferroustigmata]

You think so?

I get self-conscious when it happens to me.

I promise that I'm not stalking you. You just post on the weekends when I'm more free.

[roy_mustang]

As usual, you're a walking mass of contradictions: telling somebody to let you get down to business while creating a distraction like this, suggesting a movie you don't want to see, yourself...

LMAO no this is fine i just made a high pitched squeaky noise

[alchimia]

And here I was hoping I'd get enough sarcastic comments outta the damn kitten.

[roy_mustang]

If you're trying to endear me to one to try and get me to take in a pet again, you should know that I'm more of a dog person.
