[So, how goes the polling, Imeeji? Are we going to be welcoming some horses or game coins soon? Whatever the case, with the mix of snow and hail coming down, it may be a good time to think about taking cover wherever you can find some warmth. Maybe, you can keep the season bright with some company? This is a mingle, friends.]

...Oh yeah I sure did that, didn't I.

I'm surprised you could forget. You looked like a corpse probably feels. What the hell happened, anyway?

Ah. A ha ha ha!! You know what it was? It- oh man, I'm so embarrassed!

This is really dumb, so please don't laugh too hard, okay?

[deep breath]

...

...Right before the game, someone played a joke on me. I didn't realize it was a joke and I took it seriously, and... and I got kinda twisted up about it. It put me in a real weird mood where I didn't want to ...uh... be touched? By anyone.

Then, suddenly, I was magically beamed into the game tower, somehow! I was still tangled up about the um, the joke, and I was super not in the mood to kiss anybody at the time. I just kinda wanted to leave as fast as possible so I could get my head screwed back on straight.

I'm really sorry if I worried you. Right after I left the tower, I talked to the person and we worked everything out. I'm okay now! Just ...really embarrassed about ...falling for such a silly prank, and then getting upset about it.

OOPS.

Sounds like a hell of a joke for you to get that twisted up. You sure you're okay?

The joke itself was super benign, though, is the thing.

I dunno, has that happened to you? You see or hear something, or someone does or says some specific thing to you, and you kinda feel... reminded about something you can't quite put your finger on? Like there's something about it that's really important for some reason, and you have a big reaction to it and you don't know why?
neverbeentogeorgia: so at least I've got that going for me (dead on the inside but lookin' fine)

[ When am I NOT doing things I don't really understand the reason for? Is that not my entire outset on life crunched down into a tiny little ball?

He leans back in the chair, drumming his fingers along the top of the back. ]

Nope! Can't say I've had any visceral reactions to things that just plain don't make sense.

[ Said like a motherfucking liar. ]

[ although it IS true that he hasn't experienced anything quite as strongly as cobalt has--nothing that would make him turn completely OFF. ]

That's probably a price you pay for taking memories, you know. You're opening up who the fuck knows what in your brain--and fuck knows if it's true. You're playing Pandora's rubix cube, sliding shit around and hoping it comes out to a winning setting in the end.

You think so?

I'm not so sure... I've been having reactions like this since literally my first day here, before I took any memories.
neverbeentogeorgia: (I will never want you)

[personal profile] neverbeentogeorgia 2019-01-15 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? You must be a pretty sensitive dude, then.

[ said impassively and without feeling--like he's talking about the weather and not a deeply conditioned and irrational response to rather normal stimuli. ]

Mmm, maybe so.

I don't know what to do except roll with it, though.
neverbeentogeorgia: (I didn't hear you come in there)

[personal profile] neverbeentogeorgia 2019-01-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
You're kidding right? Just tell people to keep their dirty mitts off you.

[ you don't just have to put up with that crap, cobalt?? ]

No, hah! I meant I don't know how to not feel weird emotions about random inexplicable things! That's that part I'm just rolling with.

There's probably no getting away from that. I don't see that there's anything wrong with it, though.

Thanks for saying so. I don't really know how to change it, but maybe it's one of those things that gets easier over time.
