Well, he didn't expect this at all! re: themainframe

[headup_stickontheice]

So... One of your friends is gonna...bring in Maya.

[He's quiet, contemplative.] I mean...Yeah. I miss her. But it's, she deserves to...move on from me.

I know it'll be a few months. But I'm not really gonna like it any better then. [Except for how he is, and he sort of hates himself for that.]

...And don't think that getting me to go out to the parade is some kind of victory. I would've done it anyway, wouldn't wanna disappoint Miss Shepard.

The mun says she's going to . . No, I'm not going to say that. That's weird.

. . . Fine. She says quote "I'm gonna wrap that kid up in a fucking girlfriend because he deserves it" unquote.

[headup_stickontheice]

[INSERT FLAIL.] She-- you-- no-- I, sh-she's not even really, my, I mean.

...She's not gonna be happy to see me. From what the mun says, she's... She should get over me instead. [That's not what the mun fucking says, you just interpret it that way.]

[yayashton]

The mun says . . . Yeah, no that's not what's going to happen because everything will be sunshine and rainbows. Also karaoke. That's apparently all she knows about this character so far.

[headup_stickontheice]

But-- she-- I, I mean, I don't care if she misses me, I did something awful to her, and she-- she's gonna.

[He hangs his head in his hands.] Just...tell your mun to watch it all first.

[clearhistory]

[Do you see this face? This is the face of Xion understanding exactly what you're saying.]

Maybe... it'll be a good thing. You never know. A second chance... It can really be a blessing.

[headup_stickontheice]

[Xion. At least you get Cam's dilemma.]

...What if I hurt her again?

[clearhistory]

That's... not something you can really... plan for, I don't think. And I don't think that it's fair to her, to decide that... you want to keep your distance from her when she arrives.

[headup_stickontheice]

...You're right. There's no way I can...keep my distance. I just... I don't know. Maybe... I'll see.

[howdidyou]

Hey.

[howdidyou]

Hey, you're that one! The hockey kid. They told me about you.

[headup_stickontheice]

Told you...? Hi. What'd they... I don't wanna know. I don't really like being called...the hockey kid.

[howdidyou]

[shrugs.] I don't know. They said to look out for the kid in the hockey jersey with the sad puppy eyes.

[howdidyou]

I guess that's you. You're kinda tiny for a hockey player, though.

I'm Kagami Taiga. [grins and holds out a hand.]

[iwashere]

Kagami-kun. [do you feel the disapproval. DO YOU FEEL IT.]

lmao i'm just doing this fake icon thing until i can get my shit together.

[howdidyou]

[!!!]

[howdidyou]

There you are, dumbass!

[goddamnbatsman]

Jeez kid, could you try to be a little more optimistic?

[headup_stickontheice]

[He grits his teeth and balls up his fists.] Look, it's hard okay?

[goddamnbatsman]

Whoa, sorry, [holds up hands in a bit of a plcating gesture] Didn't mean anything by it. Just that I don't things're as bad as her making em out to be, is all.

Tell ya what, change of subeject. Ah...nice jersey. You play?

[headup_stickontheice]

[He shrugs and shuffles and mngh, that's all people want to talk about, huh?] Yeah. Sorta. Don't really...much anymore.

[renegadedriving]

So you did end up going to the parade?

[Awww, for me?]

[headup_stickontheice]

Y-yeah. A bit. We're still...doing stuff there, sorta. It's not really all that bad.

[stuffclaresays]

What was the parade for?

[headup_stickontheice]

All of us...new arrivals. "Champions who're gonna save the world." ...It's not really just a parade, they just call it that, it's more like a carnival.

[stuffclaresays]

Save the world from what?
