menial | 10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.

Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

Good to know! [Heheheheheh.]

But you know, you sound pretty calm for a guy who's about to have the love of his life stolen away from him.

[eyeroll]

I wonder why that is.

Could it be -- you don't see me as a real threat!? How rude!

[Such obviously fake indignation...! She's pointing in an accusatory manner down at the journal.]

Yeah... yeah, that must be it. Thing for blondes or not, who can resist this bod.

[so deadpan.]

...

[Peeeeeering down at the journal. Because clearly she can somehow look through it and see more than the simple headshot the journal provides, right?]

..."bod", huh?

['I feel violated.']

That's what I said.

[Being Kyon is suffering.]

[But enough about that, time for more dramatic journal-pointing.]

Well! Then I'll just have to out-do you in that department too!

And how are you going to do that?

['And who are you going to show?']

Easily! I mean, who would choose some lanky teenage boy when they can have an adorable magical girl at their beck and call?

['Not me. You may have a point.']

And you'd be willing to put yourself at her beck and call sight unseen, huh?

Why not? I mean, every magical girl's gotta have a love interest she'd risk everything--

[Urk. Kind of like who she was aiming for back at home.]

[She'll just have to hope he didn't catch that slip.]

--everything for! Right?

... Huh. Striking a nerve, are we?

.............no!

[More like yes.]

Hey, it's okay. We can talk about it. This is a safe zone.

['Winning is so sweet, especially for a "some lanky teenage boy."']

[She is oh-so unamused. So much so that some of her real personality is actually starting to show through.]

Just. Shut up! You sound like a creepy guidance counselor. Or something.

['...Too bad you have to touch nerves in order to get some people to stop teasing you.']

Well, a lot of them are just hard-working underpaid people, trying to help young people out. But okay, maybe they're all creepy.

Well. All the ones I ever talked to were creepy!

[...]

Not. That I ever talked to guidance counselors. I mean.

...

So all the ones you talked to were also not creepy.

No, I said they were creepy! Not that I would know. Since I've never talked to--

[Wait, wait, she's got this:]

All the ones I never talked to are creepy!

[....]

Why am I even talking about this.

Because you found it too painful to talk about someone you'd risk everything for.

Wouldn't you?

[POUTING.]

Not necessarily. Some people even like thinking about people they care about. Hard to believe, I know.

Not when they're not here...

[MORE POUTING. But clearly she's getting a little too informal with this guy so she pulls back a bit.]

Meanwhile your girlfriend is here and you don't even seem to appreciate it! How's that for justice?

Ah, yes. Well, it might tell you that she's not my girlfriend.

Or maybe you're just heartless. You know, like those guys from that game where kids fight with giant keys! They can't feel emotion or anything!
