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.))

It isn't as if he'll love you less. . .

So? You're gonna get to go home with him, so wait until then!

I had every intention to wait, but it isn't as if my feelings are one-sided...

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . . I know.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[boundbydevotion]

I will wait, and intend to continue waiting, until you and Walker sort things out.

I believe he will keep doing everything he can to keep you happy, including this, but I would ask you to please consider the weight of his feelings and what loss it truly is to you to hold him to this.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . . I get it already, but I'm still . . . I'm just the runner up, right? So I . . . can't . . .

I can't . . .






I don't . . . want him to realize he doesn't need me.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[Walker, you may wish to hug Scowl later.]


I don't believe you are. He's worked very hard to keep you close. There's nothing I could do to make him need you less.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Maybe . . . But it's me and Slick. You're more . . .

You're not . . . horrible. You—you make pancakes. And shit. And I just . . . I'm not like that. And neither is Slick, so if you . . . if he realizes . . . What would stop him from changing his mind?

[wait are they talking



are they talking in an honesty game]

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[boundbydevotion]

You needn't think so highly of me, I'm not all that much better. In any case I don't believe he's judging by any of those things. So long as you don't start hating him for some reason there is little chance of him ever changing his mind.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

There's no way I could hate him.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[boundbydevotion]

Then don't worry.

[Also, reaching over to take that care bear band-aid off your forehead...]

Besides that, he's been fairly careful about how far he's willing to go with me up until this point and I'm a bit offended that you feel he'd really think so little of you, when his desire to see you happy has been causing endless awkwardness between myself and him.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I—I didn't mean— . . . What the hell is that?

Just talk to Walker about it sometime. Perhaps when less is happening.
