[rubs a hand over his face]

I had... ah, a misunderstanding with someone. I believe I gave him reason to believe I was interested in him romantically, or sexually, and as a result he kissed me. So I had to make my intentions clearer, and he seemed... displeased. And I did not feel pleased about it, either.

[foolmetwice]

[oh my god]

[RAISES A BROW]

It's probably a stupid idea to kiss someone when you don't know they're interested in you, so that's on him.

[Mars you hypocrite you're the yolo kissing type, but ANYWAY]

Who was it?

[artisticliberty]

Tenshouin Eichi, on Baritones. I was interested in painting him, of course, but that was the extent of it. It left something of a bitter taste in my mouth, and has been weighing on me ever since.

[foolmetwice]

Well, don't let one asshole keep you down.

[reaches for a card, flipping it around between his fingers]

He's just one of many.

[artisticliberty]

I am trying not to. Although... I sympathize with you a lot more, now.

[turning people down sucks, mars]

Ah, I should not linger on this topic. Let us change it.

1/2

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . . . . . . turning down people when you're like, legit into them, sucks even more]

-- right.

[but he isn't going to say or allude to that, in order to not make things more awkward for Fox, so. . .! clears his throat and reads the card]

What's your favorite thing to do in be--

[foolmetwice]

[THROWS THE CARD OVER HIS SHOULDER]

[AND PICKS ANOTHER ONE]

[artisticliberty]

[blink blink]

In be...?

[foolmetwice]

Bed. It's fine. You don't have to answer that one.

[clears his throat]

What skills do you have that would help you to survive a zombie apocalypse?

[artisticliberty]

The obvious answer to that one is sleep. Or sex.

[DUH]

And my skill with a blade would surely be of great use. I can also cook to some degree.

[foolmetwice]

I'm pretty sure the question was aiming to drag something a little more specific out of you.

[but he's amused]

-- cooking? As a weapon?

[artisticliberty]

No, as a means of survival. Fighting is an important skill to possess, but not the only one.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . . . . . oh yeah that's a thing, isn't it?? Mars may have forgotten. or maybe he has a one-track fighting mind??]

Oh.

Yeah, right. I forgot. That's a thing, too.

[artisticliberty]

What about yourself?

[foolmetwice]

Ha. That's easy.

[leans back in his chair, hands linked behind his head]

I can't die.

[not that he is physically incapable of dying, BUT RATHER he just. . . doesn't stay dead]

[artisticliberty]

You can die, though.

[doesn't get it]

[foolmetwice]

[. . . FOX]

It was half a joke, half an allusion to the fact that I die a lot and always seem to come back to life, and half truthful.

[he says blandly]

[artisticliberty]

Do you have any ideas about why that has happened to you? It is very concerning.

[foolmetwice]

[ah. . . well. not exactly date-level conversation, but that's okay. Fox is Fox. he's willing to be more open with Fox than most people]

No. Not really.

[a small shrug]

I know that for some reason, I keep reliving the same year, over and over and over again. And I keep dying in the middle of it, too. I remember. . . being killed by something posing as one of my classmates. Being killed by a Shadow. Being killed by an unknown shooter. Being killed by--

[. . .]

Well, not being specifically killed by him. But I have a memory where he boasts about it.

[artisticliberty]

... by A?

[foolmetwice]

Yeah.

[or, well. . .]

Not A. A version of A.

It might be easier to call him "Crow."

[artisticliberty]

[nods]

And even though you died so many times... you always came back.

[foolmetwice]

For some reason I still have yet to suss out, yeah.

[a bit wry]

As far as I could tell from my memories, Crow was the only one other than me who remembered the time loops. You, Haru, that redheaded girl, that cat, Panther, the blond boy. . . you all seemed clueless.

[artisticliberty]

Do you know how many times you experienced this phenomenon?

[foolmetwice]

At least seventy years.

I don't remember seventy years, of course.

[he barely remembers one year]

But I remember using that number.
