Re: [Day 130 sometime]

[tradesecret]

Pr— Intensity.

[ why are there food gifts? ]

...You didn't have to do that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Food gifts have been shoved at Crown.

Though wait.

Does that have a bad connotation?]

For the record, we didn't hit BARiTONES. So it's not like some fucking apology food or anything.

I just thought if you were providing the alcohol, I could provide the other half.

[tradesecret]

As I understand it, FiN wasn't hit by us. I can still give you a drink if you'd like one.

What brings you by?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That wasn't ever in doubt.

And I told the Force Commander that I would stop by.

[tradesecret]

..."Force Commander?"

[ no one calls the cat this. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Apparently not!]

...

Kohime.

[tradesecret]

Oh yes, I see. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you guys were close.

[ and she will scribble in Japanese on a piece of paper "Please don't tell her what Kohime means ♥" ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Raised eyebrow but nods. Not like he didn't just learn her name like 4 seconds ago anyway]

What? And here I thought we were best friends?

Guess I'll have to return the friendship bracelets.

[tradesecret]

That sounds so heartbreaking.

[ LOL ]

Want some tea?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

At least offer me coffee.

[tradesecret]

Black?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What did god tell me once?

Like oil.

[tradesecret]

Certainly.

[ she returns with a French press full of black coffee and a mug ]

If you don't mind me asking, how are the others? Silence, Shine and them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Shine missed the game.

The rest -- seems like one of the status effects was overheating. They've commandeered the ice machines from the kitchens and are trying to turn the dorm into an igloo.

Otherwise, they seem to be doing fine.

[For as little as he's seen them since the game]

[tradesecret]

[ ah, that's a relief. She likes them. ]

Good to hear they're alright in some capacity.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

In much better spirits than usual after these games.

And you?

[tradesecret]

[ he's asking this sincerely? He's not really one for social niceties for the sake of social niceties, but after a brief pause, she answers ]

I didn't play, so I'm fine. I had a lovely time getting cake with Song the other night.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[She underestimates how fond Intensity is of BARiTONES]

Oh good. Is she getting out and about? I rarely see her.

[tradesecret]

Not as much as Silence, whom I also enjoy seeing. We were discussing acting lessons, since she expressed an interest.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Acting lessons? ... What for?

[tradesecret]

Extracurricular activity? She said she wanted to give it a try.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is she also taking this idol roll very seriously?

[Hums thoughtfully to himself]

I wonder if she got that from Angel.

[tradesecret]

It seemed like something she wanted to do for herself, rather than entertaining others.
