Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

... Maybe.

[ There's some reluctance and guilt though, still ]

It might be nice to have a good bitching session every now and then, though.

nice

[leonheartedly]

[he gets it, there's plenty of understanding]

Better that than what's bothering you coming out when you don't want it. [he gestures between them] I'd be willing to listen if you need it.

[featherduster]

[ There's a little flicker of gratitude, still not used to people actually -- offering that. ]

Sure. Let's go somewhere with less emotional eavesdropping first, though.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ From here

The mention of Styx gets a little glimpse of a hole of grief that is frankly too much to contemplate. It's reeled in so fucking fast. ]

... Yeah. I've rarely met anyone more loyal. I owe him a lot.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[spinebuddyandme]

[ There's a blink and you miss it frown when he notices that, but the sharp alarm and regret-tinged concern and sympathy lingers ]

I think he felt that way about you too.

[ Maybe more. There had been a lot to worry about when it came to the things Styx would sacrifice in the name of that loyalty. ]

...It's pretty hard to believe that anyone could be more loyal than Styx though.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ Styx had his moments. Sometimes the moments were 8 months long but it's fine. ]

Did he tell you anything, about his time before coming here?

[ From here

The indignation on Crescendo's behalf wells up again. ]

We're definitely gonna secure ways to travel between worlds when we leave here, and they have no right to tell you who you can and can't love. If I have to go talk to them myself, I will.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[heavyliesthecrown]

Talk to my parents...or the idol industry?

[Mostly feels amused at the idea.]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

Both.

[ he'S DEAD SERIOUS!!!!!!!! ]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ From here

Good fucking GOD, dude

There's a little indignation, and anger, maybe? And definitely way too much understanding to be strictly okay. ]

Okay, but why does what you were made for matter?

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mourning_star]

[ coos. agreeably. 'good fucking god dude' is the appropriate response. keep that one. ]

Why, indeed.

[ it matters it matters it matters, it SHOULDN'T matter. regret and resentment and 'they always make it sound so easy, don't they, to do it the right way.' longing. a bone-deep certainty that this is a question that he has already answered wrong, many times, and that it doesn't matter if he changes his answer. ]

I posit to you that to my core I am a self-centered man, Minuet. Them or me, I chose me. It matters... because I did make that choice.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ "Making it sound so easy to do it the right way" is in fact his job, professionally.

Deadpan, ]

Bullshit.

These aren't the feelings of a guy who grasped self-indulgent fulfillment.

Claps him on the shoulder, dry ]

Thanks. Getting bored around here is definitely a big risk.

[doggonemad]

I will always keep ya on yer toes. That's a promise.

[ makes grabbyhands motions for the whiskey. ]

[featherduster]

[ He hands it over ]

Kinda rude of you to transplant and lose me a potential consistent source of hooch.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ From here

No, actually -- he's amused, and kind of delighted. Fond.

He wishes to antagonize this. ]

Two outta three, shortstack. I'll destroy you.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[heavyliesthecrown]

Do your worst!

[He feels more excited than anything else. He sticks his hand back out for Minuet to take.]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ HE DOES HIS WORST!!!



Literally though. His thumb gets clobbered again. ]

--DAMMIT

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ From here

Kind of amused but also kind of wondering if he should offer this guy a coat or towel or something ]

Honestly?

That attitude's gonna get you far.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[0hp]

[ there’s a little proud trill of feeling. He IS gonna go far! He loves going far!!! And just sill the general pleasant surprise of someone who’s spent their life somewhere grass-deprived. ]

Glad to hear it. Will you play with me then, Ser Bluebell?

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ From here

With his usual maniac certainty: ]

It's true.

[ Holds his hand out for the tequila ]

What would you do with yourself, in a world like that?

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[stabtivism]

[hands it over.]

I don't know.

[he feels lost. it's a future he wants, desperately. but he's made himself into nothing but a tool toward that goal, so he's not sure what it would make of him to have succeeded. if there's anything of him left except for love that's been rejected.]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[featherduster]

[ From here ]

How do I put this...

[ There's some (genuine) very dark amusement, but it's kinda slipshod slapped over considerable Actual Horror ]

He's already done basically everything he possibly could already. It'd just be a rehash if he tries something here. He might as well not bother.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[mykidisthebest]

[mentally reviews all of the stuff Styx told him that he definitely wasn't supposed to tell him

help he's not a qualified therapist he can't unpack all that]

Do you...want to talk about it...?
