[ guess who has to watch his mun agonize over an app? this guy. ]

You ever consider just hitting the gym? I dunno about you, but whenever I wanna avoid distractions, I just do sets until my brain stops working. [ one casual shrug, coming right up. ] Feels pretty good to just clear your head out like that.

... Besides, I don't know how I feel about having you poke around too much. Don't really wanna give away too much of myself yet.

[ and then, a slow, knowing smile (that isn't entirely one) creeps in. it kind of just sits awkwardly on his mouth. ]

But that's what you like in a guy, right? Weirdo.

I do believe that encouraging your mundane to exercise until her mind no longer functions-- which, by the way, is impossible short of death-- is contrary to her purpose.

Unless, of course, that was your intention. Underhanded if understandable. If I could have stopped my mundane, I would have.

Brain stops working?

[couldbearockstar]

Dude, what is that even like?

:((((

[disarray]

Hey, she's the one who asked me for suggestions. [ shrugs. ] Just gave her a crazy one. It's up to her if she wants to do it or not.

And it's got nothing to do with stopping her.

[ maybe. ]

[disarray]

You've never experienced anything like that?

[couldbearockstar]

No way! There's always something to work on, or do, or stuff like that. I can't imagine just not having any thoughts at all. Sounds way too quiet. And creepy. Way too easy to become a zombie or something.

i'm so sorry this is what you're in for

[couldbearockstar]

Suuuuuuure it isn't.

i'm so ready

[disarray]

It's not.

[couldbearockstar]

Seriously?

[disarray]

It's not really as bad as you're making it out to be. Least I never felt like a zombie.

[disarray]

Seriously.

[verinumeri]

Don't misunderstand. Dr. Geiszler's mind may never shut up, but he certainly behaves as though it's stopped working.


[ ooc: disclaimer NOT A JAB AT MANIA just the whole package mmk ]

[verinumeri]

Indeed. As frustrating as reality may be, everything is her choice.

[ He also doesn't believe you, Raleigh, but he'll leave it be. ]

[disarray]

[ here we go. ]

What makes you say that?

[disarray]

So you're just gonna sit there and let her have her way?

[tremolos]

Ibuki agrees with mysterious-chan, we must all try our best to remain mysterious.

[disarray]

'cause where's the fun in sharing secrets, right.

[tremolos]

Eeehhhh? Mysterious-chan is okay with being called Mysterious-chan. This is totally different from what Ibuki was going for.

[disarray]

It's got a nice ring to it. Plus, I've been called worse.

[verinumeri]

[ You can say that again. ]

Would you like the alphabetical or chronological list?

[disarray]

[ okay.

here we go. ]

Chronological, sure.

[verinumeri]

Of course not.

[ He's already composed seven complaints.

Several pages in each. ]

[verinumeri]

I simply recognize that--

[ Only, however he finishes that protest, it will sound precisely the same --

as though he has no choice but to sit there, or stand as it were, and let her have her way. ]

[verinumeri]

[ ... ]

Then you admit by inference that it did, to some degree, have something to do with stopping her.

[ wait what. he doesn't get how scientists go from point a to point b, seirously. ]
