Homeless, vaguely looking

[seeked]

You're really, really bad at making decisions, aren't you? [He appears to be half-amused, half-exasperated.] Well, if I can keep swaying you toward the side of not dropping me off in some foreign land a little longer I'll gladly take your indecisiveness.

Sure, I'm happy you finished re-reading the entire series. Now that it's over, it probably would make for a good story, give people loads of ideas and all. But that doesn't exactly mean I want to relive it just so you can play me somewhere. I already went through everything once; I'm not exactly keen on doing it all again. You understand, don't you?

Of course not. Once again, you're off hunting for icons, finding layouts, and ignoring absolutely everything I have to say. Fine. Go on, then. Continue shrieking about your feelings and ignoring my opinion on the matter.

[shitknickers]

It's really what they're best at, I've come to notice.

[seeked]

Might be time for her to find a new hobby then. Any ideas?

[fourteen]

If it makes you feel any better, mine's shrieking about her feelings too. [ With a sympathetic wince. ]

[seeked]

[He understands all too well, Xion. All. Too. Well.]

Yours doesn't do it that often, does she?

[shitknickers]

Balderdash, sometimes they're great fun! Though if you ever truly tire of the adventures she sends you on, try sitting her down with a good long book or video game series. She'll likely wind up with someone new to torment.

[fourteen]

Um... [ She sort of -- laughs a bit. Read: she does it all the time. ]

[seeked]

[Jake did you really just say balderdash...you weird old man.] Fortunately, she hasn't really sent me on any adventures yet. She seems to likes terrorizing Malfoy instead. [Not that he doesn't deserve it...]

[seeked]

[He gets it.]

Sorry to hear that. You could always follow that other bloke's advice and set her down with a book or game to distract her.

[shitknickers]

[Why yes, yes he did. Seriously this kid talks like some weird hybrid of a Brit and a Texas Gent from the 50s.] Malfoy... He's the blonde that uses too much hair grease, right? Seems to be a blonde thing.

[seeked]

[Snerk.] Yeah, that's him. [Greasy, foul little git. Even if he saved Harry's life by not revealing who he was on their little side-trip to the Manor, Harry still has some less-than-fond thoughts about the other boy.] But I suppose she's grown too used to him and decided bothering me was a better idea.

[shitknickers]

Ah, that's a similar situation to myself. There was this other boy my mundane wrote from the storyline I come from, and she's written him for what's probably been ages, here there and everywhere, and then suddenly decided to pay me a great deal of attention. It's a bit flattering, but also a lot tiring.

Here Harry, have a squid... thing.

[controledfreak]

They are truly terrible in their capacity to deprive others of their free will. Honestly I suspected that only our grandest elders in our noble circle of horrorterrors would be capable of such a feat.

Well, it's not like we're in any position to do anything about it... so the best we can do is grin and take it up the blow chute.

((For those of us not conversational in Greater Eldritch, here's a nice little speech bubble to mouse over:))

[seeked]

Well, what are the chances she'll go back to writing about the first bloke more than you?

[seeked]

[Well. This could be worse, though he's really not satisfied with that answer.]

I'm not going to take this lying down. Not really a fan of just taking it for what it's worth. [A pause, and then--] Noble circle?

[controledfreak]

Don't worry about it. There really is no sense getting all worked up over something that you can't possibly understand. I would much rather we stay conversational than risk your insanity or detonation of your flimsy calcium-lined skull.

[At... least she cares...?]

I would be very much interested in hearing how you intend to be delinquent, however. We horrorterrors are always very interested in stories of doomed rebellion and lost causes. Especially from ornery adolescents with little notion of the powers they are attempting to usurp.

[shitknickers]

Hard to say. It's a matter of interest, I believe, and she's quite the fickle thing. I find a good number of these mundanes are.

[fourteen]

Hehe. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't help! She'd just have feelings about that, too.

[ A beat, and a smile. ] You're Harry, right?

[myresponsibility]

They're really good at doing that.

[offbeet]

You're sounding troubled, Harry. [ a blink ] Though I suppose that's to be expected.

[seeked]

And I never thought that being fickle could be a good thing. Maybe I just have to wait it out then. [Though he doesn't sound too convinced.]

[seeked]

Point. But then again, it's not really a bad thing to have feelings at all. This might just be overkill.

[That renders a slightly awkward smile back, hand coming up to rub the back of his neck.] Er. Yeah. I am. [Great, even people living in other people's heads know who he is. That's fine.] Have we met before?

[seeked]

Who says I wouldn't be able to understand though? [Because now he's pinged by the challenge, now he's actually kind of curious. But what else is new.]

...you're mocking me, aren't you?

[seeked]

I'm not sure if I should be glad everyone else has to deal with the same issue, or if I should be concerned about how it may get worse.

[seeked]

[Blunt as always, huh, Luna? That's okay. He just gives her a sheepish sort of grin.]

Expected how?

[myresponsibility]

Probably a little of both, honestly.
