Recently dropped; someone's unamused.

[alchemicals]

And what are you expecting me to say right now? "You tried"? Don't get me wrong, that was a pretty little failure with the green-haired kid, too; I suppose it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's getting to deal with your amazing powers of decision-making.

Listen, the point is that either you're going to get out there and find something else, or you're not; I'm just getting tired of this will-I-won't-I thing you've been throwing around for weeks now. It doesn't matter either way - in the end, I'm nothing but a guy with all the time in the world. If you don't have enough, I can't really say that I care.

Passive-aggressive? Maybe. I'd think you'd prefer that over flat-out aggression, though - but if not, then you go right on ahead and let me out for a while. It'd be the most fun I've had all month.

Oh~looky here. Someone's angry.

[alchemicals]

And someone's talking tough. Your point?

[therosensaint]

Can I point out the obviously, Mister? Or is that illegal?

[alchemicals]

Do I look like someone who cares about what's legal and what's not?

[therosensaint]

Perhaps you do. But I don't know you as that well.

[alchemicals]

[...uh...huh.]

What are you even getting at anymore...

[cruelestpurity]

That's not gonna do a thing, you know~ [Said the spider to the human a good distance away.]

Just saying something's an empty way of wasting oxygen~ You've gotta make a real threat! You've gotta be a monster and show her who's in charge, human!

Come on, you can't be that much of a wimp~ [Yes, because taunting something three times taller than you works wonders...]

[alchemicals]

[...what the hell is he even looking at]

You just keep trying, kid. For now, leave the actual threats to the adults.

[cruelestpurity]

[Just a bratty spider girl, nothing more!]

Haha, that's funny! [She's smiling now, though it's taking a turn for smugness.] Then why aren't you threatening, huh? You're being an awfully useless adult, if that's the case!

And I'll have you know that I am an adult, by your year system. [Ava sticks her tongue out; she feels she's sure showed him! So she thinks, at least.]

[alchemicals]

By my year system?

[...yep, we're just going to latch on to the most useless part of that if you don't mind.]

You want to elaborate?

[cruelestpurity]

Don't you determine if someone's a child by...five or ten year intervals? [Or something close to that, she thinks. ]

Well, until you hit four hundred, you're still a baby. Another hundred years you'll be a teen, and you hit your glory years another two hundred later~ If you're still alive by then. [She says that confidently; she's so convinced that being a Jorogumo is much better than being a human.]

Humans just have to compensate for what little lifespan they have.

[alchemicals]

You'll find most of us have gotten pretty good at that - at least, those of us who know what they want, anyway.

[no really what are you

do you have some sort of bizarre tattoo

all weird people have some sort of bizarre tattoo, it's just a thing that happens, okay

i mean he's weird as fuck and he has bizarre tattoos

greed also had a bizarre tattoo

so no really where is your bizarre tattoo and what is it of]

[cruelestpurity]

Is that true? [That gets Ava curious to an extent. Have humans actually managed to find a way to extend their existence? Not that it's a bad thing, considering it's a Jorogumo's delicacy. The longer lived, the better.]

Well~ Can you prove it then? How many years have you lived? [Bring on the proof! If it can't be proven, she ain't gonna believe it.]

[alchemicals]

Oh, come on, kid, that's not what I meant. Anyway, I don't see what sort of proof words are right now anyway - I could tell you I've lived just as long as you're saying you've lived, and it wouldn't magically make it true on either of our parts.

[cruelestpurity]

I'm not a kid, I told you! [Grr. Ava stomps her foot on the ground when she says that; not proving her point, but maturity isn't in Ava's vocabulary.]

You made it sound like humans found a way to live beyond the usual seventy years. [...Second point does register as true, though.] You're too dumb to be anything but a human. Humans never could live as long as a Youkai.

[determinator]

Would you sit down, Kimbley?

[He has to follow you everywhere, doesn't he? Ugh, you're hopeless.]

Try to refrain from blowing everyone up.

[alchemicals]

[Aw, man. :<]

Fine, fine. If you say so.

...for now.

[determinator]

Really, Kimbley, there's nothing to be upset over. I can assure you my mundane will drag yours elsewhere eventually and it's only natural that you'll come with me.

[...Archer would you sit down?]

[alchemicals]

I'm not upset, just annoyed; we-

[...hang on]

...oh, really, now. Something in mind?

[determinator]

Not at the moment, no. She needs to actually look through the games instead of being lazy.

...I suppose you'll be keeping your eyes open as well?

[alchemicals]

Yeah, that just involves getting her to sit down and shut up. And shutting up the recent acquisition that insists on the dark glasses indoors, who's also prone to a lot of yammering on about everything I don't care about.

...even if the mun doesn't sit down and shut up, I'll work on that last one, he's getting annoying. Have a little fun with him, maybe.

[determinator]

...There certainly seems to be quite a lot of that where you're from.

I look forward to seeing just what you do with him. I'm sure all that leather will be amusing.

[alchemicals]

[Well, if that first part was a stealth insult it was perhaps a bit too stealthy, as it's just going to go over his head; as it stands, the second...huh.]

Depends on what it's been tanned with, but adding in all the vinyl everywhere? Yeah, I'd say it will.

[roymustangtaisa]

You'e always had the unique capacity to specialize in all sorts of aggression, passive and direct.

[alchemicals]

[Well, well, look who it is.]

You'd know.
