upcoming stuff + wat do re: mun recklessness

[worldwithoutcolor]

Mun-san, I know you've been looking forward to this one for a while, but... maybe we should... talk about it first. [read: let's opt out entirely y/y] You said yourself there are some things you like to let us keep... to ourselves, and this is kind of -- I mean, it's not like this would mean much to most of the people in the Havens, anyway, so...! You could probably pick something different and get just as much fun out of it.

["Fun." Apparently having memories broadcasted to the world at large goes under "fun" now. Muns what even--]

And I know you said you'd keep damage to a minimum, but... I'd... be more convinced if you hadn't been planning this two months in advance. Or if you'd tell me exactly what kind of damage you mean.

[In hindsight, he probably should've known better, considering how smoothly everything's been going up to now.]

[ Mikado... ]

Nervous?

[worldwithoutcolor]

[shit]

No!

[/KNEEJERK REACTION

SHIT]

I mean -- um -- I just -- maybe...

[chaoscontroller]

[ Smirks some. Unusual reaction, yet that's what the so called muns tend to do. ]

Is it really that bad?

[worldwithoutcolor]

[LAUGH ALL YOU WANT although... you're probably thinking it's just something embarrassing, aren't you]

A-Ah, well, it's... not... something... a lot of people know about, so...

[so he kind of lied to everyone ever including a cop and the Mafia and he's going to look like the Havens' biggest asshat and this is a lot to handle all at once okay]

[chaoscontroller]

[ Yes of course, why would he think a kid like him is hiding anything more than a few embarrassing moments? ]

It'll be fine.

[worldwithoutcolor]

[augh the guilt +50

since Shadow's... kinda the one he lied to the most. Or at least most directly. And right after giving that little speech about friends and trust and all that, even.

revoke his friendship Achievement he doesn't deserve it

hell just kick him off of XBox LIVE he's clearly not enough of a team player]

...I hope so. [...

Then, more to himself and with a weary kind of sarcasm,] I could probably head back to Gridania or Figaro for a while, if I have to. [obvs this is just a teenager being overdramatic about everything]

[chaoscontroller]

[ Good thing Achievements are a pain in the ass to remove, believe me, I've tried. Once earned it won't go away. Same things happens with friendships... or something like that.

If it was Shadow's thing, he'd actually laugh at that, loud and hard. But it is not so he simply snorts, a bit amused, a bit condescending, yet not trying to be rude, it's just... yep, a bit too dramatic. ]

What would that accomplish?

[worldwithoutcolor]

[no offense taken. making Shadow not-laugh is kind of an achievement, too.]

...Probably nothing, in the long run. [in all srsness, though, he's getting a bit bored with staying in Ikebukuro this long. It's about time he checked out another town, especially since he can manage the site anywhere he goes now.

but anyway]

I guess... I just hope no one looks at me too differently. That's probably hoping too much, though. [realistically speaking.]

[chaoscontroller]

[ Ah. He probably shouldn't have judged him so early, whatever the kid is nervous about seems serious enough for him to make such statement. It's a little frustrating sometimes that even coming from a mostly cheesy canon, he cannot come up with a soothing, cheerful comment as his blue counterpart. It'd be... how do they say? Out of character. ]

Different... is not always a bad thing.

[worldwithoutcolor]

[Mikado won't argue that point; he prefers different when he can get it. This is just... less new-experience!different and more how-bad-did-I-screw-up!different.]

Ah, yeah... it just depends on the person, really. [Or people, in this case. He's lost count of how many he's lied to versus how many he just hasn't told.]

Either way, I guess we'll find out. [since, y'know. no say in the matter.



"we," not "I." That's a more deliberate choice of wording than is probably obvious.]
