On apping to The Games...

E-easy, mun. If you stare at your inbox any harder, you're going to make it break or something.

And while I'm at it... did'ya have to send me to such a crappy place? That's something my canon self would get a kick over, not me. Geeze... it's like you want to make me flip out...

[This is what muns do, Herodachi. Get over it.]

I'm sure you could find...some sort of diversion to occupy your time

[wantedittobeagame]

[...ohgodwhat?!]

Eeeehhh... y-yeah, I'm sure...

ROLESWAP AU BUDDY IS HERE

[flamesfanned]

At least she's actually sending you somewhere. Mine still can't commit to anything.

[SIGH.]

At least she found someone to play my original...

[myleaderisadumbass]

[See Saki?

See Saki facepalm?

Yep. Accurate.]

Dare I ask why your mun decided to send you there?

[wantedittobeagame]

Well, that's something right?

And if she found your, uh... 'original', maybe she'll find you a boyfriend too.

[wantedittobeagame]

...she's a sadist?

[flamesfanned]

Very funny. Ha ha.

[Yes, Adachi, that's sarcasm.]

I'm not even looking for one of those, really.

[wantedittobeagame]

[Really? He couldn't tell.]

Why not?

[flamesfanned]

Kind of busy with the rest of my life at the moment. Saving the world and all that.

[Or getting lost and/or injured on the way to saving the world, at least.]

[wantedittobeagame]

I hear you.

[Saving the world is a tough gig. At least you didn't have to fight a goddess?]

But doesn't 'saving the world' go hand in hand with getting the girl? Or... guy. Whichever.

[flamesfanned]

Naw, that's Luke's job. I'm the backup guy.

[He makes a slightly disgusted expression.]

Besides, when it comes to Natalia, he can keep her.

[attended]

Sounds exciting.

[wantedittobeagame]

Aw, c'mon. There's gotta be at least one girl that's caught your eye.

[wantedittobeagame]

[...Michael, don't even try it.]

You say that, but you're secretly hoping for horrible things to happen to me, aren't you?

[attended]

[ ... Maybe a little. But he's not going to say that. ]

Actually, I was thinking you might make some friends.

[flamesfanned]

Not really. Bigger things to worry about.

[He looks a little sheepish, and quickly changes the subject.]

What's it matter to you, anyway?

[wantedittobeagame]

I thought I already had all the social links I could get?

[hedonismbot]

Many things are possible with a suitable imagination and a little grease.

I find one must simply put suitable effort into entertaining oneself in the most perverse situations.

[wantedittobeagame]

Well... 'cause it's not every day you see a guy that's completely unattached? I mean, geeze... even I got someone I've got my eye on...

[Whether or not she's trolling him... hard to say. Devil nurse and all that.]

[wantedittobeagame]

[...is he seriously having this conversation with a robot...?]

I'll, uh... I'll keep that in mind...

[attended]

There are generally considered to be seventy-eight cards to a deck, Mister Tohru.

[ A tarot deck, that is. ]

... That aside, one doesn't get anywhere in life if you look at it simply as "another link" instead of "a potential friend".

[flamesfanned]

Really? Most of the people I know aren't involved with anyone.

[He shrugs slightly.]

Yeah, well, you're way older than me.

[wantedittobeagame]

S-seventy-eight?

[Wow, that was a little daunting... and at the same time, Michael had to point out the obvious. He did that a lot, only because half the time Adachi missed it... well, when it came to relationships, anyway.]

Yeah... right, I should know that, after everything.

[wantedittobeagame]

Not that much older!

[S-stop making him feel ancient, you kids...]

You're... what? Seventeen? Eighteen?

1/2

[flamesfanned]

[There's a distinct pause. Ember runs the back of his neck.]

Err, actually...
