dusting off an old muse!

[valhallan]

[ ahem, ahem. obviously someone isn't getting the attention they desire. ]

Yo, mun-san. It's been a while. I'm not expecting a welcome back party anytime soon, but it would be nice to hear you say you took me for granted!

[ being a horrible person doesn't come easily to everyone, you know. and people change. but not you, Izaya. how much did you change, in the two years or so you were living in that city? ]

It wasn't boring for me at all, but I do appreciate your concern.

[ yeah, just let that roll right off your back, why don't you. ]

It's time to wrap up all your personal problems and move on. If we're talking about who's boring and who's not, someone who can't make up their mind on their own shouldn't even have the right to speak to someone like me. That must mean I'm really kind. So, accept my kindness and let's decide already.

[ should've stayed away tbh ]

It sounds like you haven't changed at all while you were gone.

[heartboobs]

Sometimes decisions take time and consideration to make, Izaya-san. It's for the best, isn't it?

[oh look who it is]

You want to make sure you're prepared for whatever you do!

[heartboobs]

Some people have a hard time changing, Jun-kun!

[watch]

That's true... A person can only change themselves if they truly want to, after all.

[ and he knows izaya likes himself just the way he is which is just. fuckin. peachy. ]

[federalbureauofimmortals]

Isn't it a little cold to just say "wrap up all your personal problems and move on?"

[Victor seems as agitated as always.]

[valhallan]

And you say that like there's something wrong with me.

[valhallan]

[ oh, wise words from Maya-san...! just what he wanted ]

Is it really for the best if this is the last time you'll ever see my face again?

[watch]

... Well, in the end, my view of you is only one of many. What one thinks of themselves is what will always matter the most.

[valhallan]

[ maybe he has a point... but then again. ]

I've been waiting a long time. A guy like me starts to get impatient.

[heartboobs]

[u///u p'shaw]

--I thought a few months ago was the last time I'd ever see your face again.

[valhallan]

That's such a cold thing to say, even after all this time. I see I'm not the only one who hasn't changed.

[federalbureauofimmortals]

I could tell you a thing or two about "waiting a long time."

But I'm not in the mood for story telling and that shits personal. So just cool your heels a while, okay?

[valhallan]

I guess I just keep coming back to haunt you.

[ he knows how it is. ]

[heartboobs]

Mmm! What matters most is that they're capable of change. I think those who can go through with it are very strong.

[just like you jun-kun precious babbu kiss kiss xoxo big sis loves u]

[valhallan]

Sounds like you could also tell me a thing or two about telling other people what to do. I'm just trying to provide encouragement where encouragement's due.

[watch]

That, too, is just your perception of me... It doesn't matter.

And even if it's true, I'm not sure anyone has ever left Zodion a better person than they were before.

[ sure, he's better in some ways, but in others... ]

[heartboobs]

Like a ghost?

[She's really wondering, okay.]

[watch]

It's not easy.... but I can't be sure I've changed at all either, so maybe I have no room to talk.

[totallysane]

Izaya-san...

[He's definitely got a look on his face like he has an opinion about all this, but he's really not sure how to say it. He can't just be rude, as much as his thoughts are pretty rude.]

I'm sorry, I think calling yourself 'kind' might be a bit of a stretch.

[valhallan]

[ okay, he has to give him that. ]

I always appreciated your efforts to stay civil... but I think the truth is that I'm just not part of your exclusive group. Not that I mind if you don't want to invite me to your private tea parties.

[heartboobs]

... Over your time in that place? No one else probably has the best room to judge.

But I know I was happy, every day you were around. Thank you for that.

[valhallan]

[ is that an implication that he's dead? girl, please. ]

I don't think I'm that omnipotent yet.

[federalbureauofimmortals]

It sort of comes with the job. Still, don't be annoying and just wait your turn, trust me, everyone gets theirs.

[valhallan]

[ huh? isn't that pretty rude in and of itself? but it's a statement that's impossible not to say without the possibility of offending someone. he doesn't mind. ]

Then consider it a moment of benevolence.

[heartboobs]

Hmm! [more like she's just saying things lmao] Omnipotent enough to haunt someone, you think! But anyway, how have you been? It's been a while! My mun misses you.

[if only we could say the same for her]
