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.

[yayashton]

There's . . . look, I've been in her head for a long time, and the one thing I can tell you is that people usually aren't as mad as you think they'll be. Even if you do something stupid like feed yourself to a man-eating plant.

She likes making things better. So, chin up. It'll be okay.

[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.

/I HAD TO REPLY...BEFORE SLEEPING...

[headup_stickontheice]

Things often aren't okay for me... [But he's been trying to be...optimistic. Sort of.] ...Fine. Alright. Got a few months to get used to the idea anyway.

[headup_stickontheice]

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

...What if I hurt her again?

[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.

[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.

[howdidyou]

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

GO TO BED.

[yayashton]

Things usually aren't okay in general, but they can be. They're usually more okay than you think they are, anyway.

[iwashere]

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

[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.]

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

[howdidyou]

[!!!]

[howdidyou]

There you are, dumbass!

[iwashere]

I was here the whole time.

[howdidyou]

Like hell you were!

[howdidyou]

[irritable sigh.]

This is weird. They're weird. Yours probably is too.

[iwashere]

She likes Midorima-kun. [It's said flatly, and there's no indication whether this is a bad thing or a good thing.]

[iwashere]

And his name is Cam. [Kuroko pays attention. You could learn something, Kagamin.]

[howdidyou]

............There are people that aren't Takao who like that guy?

[iwashere]

Yes. My mun finds him endearing. I suspect you mun does too.
