Game 140

[messagingly.insanejournal.com]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 229, noonish
What: [On the throne today is a smiling youth, face ringed by black curls. He has a harp-like instrument in his lap and a pen behind his ear. It's been a while since any have seen him, but, perhaps, to the oldest and most keen observers here, he seems perhaps a touch thinner than last time. The Arena is not terribly decorated for his appearance, indeed, if not for the statue sitting there, one would not be sure this was really a call at all.]


Good afternoon, duckies, good afternoon! Who's ready for some wholesome (and platonic!) self-exploration and completely non-fatal fun, hmm? I know I certainly am.  Yes, I'm sure you've all been having just unbearable amounts of fun, but you know, let's just- . . .


[clears his throat]


Ahem. Sorry, I was saying, let's just slow it down.  Maybe, oh, I don't know, talk about our feelings a while.

((Technically, yes, this is a loser game, but anyone can play.))

...

I know you have or had a crush on me, and it makes me feel really flattered and moved but embarrassed and distressed too, and I don't want it to stop because it makes me feel wanted, but I don't want to feel wanted so I also want it to stop, and I also feel bad about that because I can't return your feelings, I think, I don't think I'm the sort of person who can return your feelings so that's unfair and I'm terrible. I also feel a little patronized sometimes but I try to ignore it.

...

I think that's most of it. Also I like you. Um. We're friends. Yes.

You're one of the few people in this shithole I'd even give a fuck about pissing off.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

For good reason.

[Shrugs] Strategically and as someone that isn't a pain in the ass.

Thanks for putting up with the whole Silver-Lucky weirdness. You're a good guy, Red, and I kind of miss talking to you.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

Ah, thanks! Here, CUT ME

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[slateblank]

Do you have to sound so enthusiastic?

[but doing so.]

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Red's actually a stupid name.

. . . And you're probably one of the best people here. I wish we got along better but I . . . I guess I just suck at that.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

Red is a brilliant name. Easy to remember.

[arm out for cutting]

I like you, I just don't know how to talk to you without making you pissy. And I rather you be calm and happy than make you pissy.

I thought I made you mad.

I'm not sure why you care about hair so much. It's a little weird.

I honestly somewhat miss when we were on better terms.

I miss the Blood I use to know.

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .You're the person I tell everything. It is actually hard to come up with something you don't know to say. And I feel like you would know what I'd have to say anyway...

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

...yeah basically.

CUT ME.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

I hope you guys are doing well, even though we don't talk much anymore. I'm sorry we were the wrong team to be good partners. I'm sorry that I wasn't Jim.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[holds hand out for cutting]

Jim's not that great, he failed at seducing me.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

You are my family and I could not face this place without you. You are definitely necessary.

Re: [CEPHEUS]

[sillyrabitricks.insanejournal.com]

...I know.

[hair ruffles]

Cut me, yeah?
