On Plotting in thewake

[ocd_reaper]

That's low and you know it.

First of all, it's indecent. She has a boyfriend for Father's sake! She seems like she'd make a good friend. Why would I want to make it awkward?

Second, she's human. That means barring disaster or the end of the world, I'll outlive her not just by years but by centuries if not millennia! I know that in Nautilus the same problem doesn't exist, but it's still going to be lingering in the back of my mind and you know it!

Stop snickering and pay attention to me!

You let her boss you around that much, huh?

[ocd_reaper]

What's that supposed to mean?

[inthe_keyofcool]

[Smirk.] It means you let your mun push you into stuff like this.

Is your mun planning weird things, too?

Mine won't even tell me what she's planning.

[ocd_reaper]

You think I would let her do this sort of thing?!

[ocd_reaper]

[...Aw, crap.]

Yes, she is.

[inthe_keyofcool]

...so you got yourself into this mess?

[ocd_reaper]

Of course not! [Someone's flailing just a bit.]

[inthe_keyofcool]

Uh huh. [Soul crosses his arms.] Don't think I didn't see that network post.

[ocd_reaper]

It wasn't my fault! Nautilus decided to post that up!

[inthe_keyofcool]

But why all the fuss if it was just snowboarding lessons.

[ocd_reaper]

Because apparently my mundane thinks it'd be amusing for me to try and have a relationship. She thinks it'll be "good for me".

[inthe_keyofcool]

Of course it is, Kid. All the cool guys have 'em. [Someone did not think THAT statement through.]

[ocd_reaper]

All of the cool guys? [Going to stay neutral-faced for the moment.]

[inthe_keyofcool]

[Soul knows that look. Oh crap.] ...Most of them.

[5dontlie]

Awww, Love.

Just live in the now and let that messy business sort itself out later.

[She needs to find popcorn. Now.]

[ocd_reaper]

And are you among them? You are the coolest person I know.

[Smirk smirk smirkity smirk.]

[Why are you so mean to him? He didn't do anything to you!]

I can't do that! What if he's planning a future with her? Or she with him? I can't drive a wedge between them! I'd be a homewrecker!

[Five, hope you enjoy the show.]

[inthe_keyofcool]

[Finally able to brain a response here.] A cool guy like me has to stay single so I don't break every girl's heart, you know?

[incurable_bev]

[Oh geez, he seems uncomfortable.]

Well, uh, I'm sure it won't be that bad!

[ocd_reaper]

[He watches your reaction with so much smug satisfaction.]

Is that so?
