Oh. We all got them at the same time.

[He glances up at Yamato. It looks like he isn't sure whether to believe Yamato or not despite how much they have really sat here several times and tsundered about friendship.]

Are you saying you're alright with being my friend?
ghoststrums: (though I feel bad)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I be?

[ blunt. this is the friendship you are signing up for, luke. ]
darksubverted: (Riku (128))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[For a second, he looks surprised, but then it actually makes him laugh.]

No reason. Okay then. Friends.
ghoststrums: (so everything's not perfect)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ blinks because why? is he laughing? and he kind of :/ a little but: ]

... Anyway, if you didn't accept that, I'd have settled for calling you a fan.

[ so there. ]
darksubverted: (Screenshot_3)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
A fan.

[Yamato trying to make him into a groupie. Wow.]

Aren't friends meant to be some of your biggest fans?
ghoststrums: (i wish i could maybe)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ he was joking, but luke is making it almost cute, and he shakes his head a little ]

Guess that means I get the best of both worlds.

[He makes a face like he's trying not to be flustered.]

I'm going to start charging you vouchers for every sappy thing you say. Weren't you saving for something?
ghoststrums: (it's been three days)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ nyehe-- oh, right ]

Oh, that's right. I said I'd buy myself something to protect myself next, since everyone keeps telling me to. [ some people are worried for his wellbeing as a twink for some reason? wow, weird. ] Taichi mentioned maybe we could borrow our partners' powers, so... Gabumon can shoot a [ looks at wiki ] a stream of blue ice-like flames from his mouth? It wouldn't have to be my mouth.

[ and then, squinting pensively ]

... Do you think it's easier to learn to aim that or a gun...

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[His own face is slightly pinched while listening to Yamato describe what sounds like MAGIC.

Then suddenly he looks surprised, and then exasperated.]


Don't get a gun if you don't know how to use it, Yamato! Just stick to your weird ice flames!
ghoststrums: (i think i'm getting dizzy)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ fuck you, it's data, which is somehow different ]

I'm joking, calm down. [ he doesn't know how to use fire either but it's fine. surely. ] Borrowing from our partners was Taichi's idea, but he's got a normal fireball to explain.

[ yamato was just tired of trying to logic out petit fire ]

[Shut up, you turd! Making him show his true colors out here in front of God and everyone (Yamato).]

You can make it come out of your hand, or something. That's up to you. [He peers at Yamato.] How many vouchers do you have left?
ghoststrums: (you run around i run around)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hand would be better. [ but also let me use math I guess-- ] After all this... nine? So I should be good.

[ spending all his money IMMEDIATELY ]
darksubverted: (Screenshot_3)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[(luke voice) it's ten vouchers--]

You can get the ability for seven... but that's as low as I can go.
ghoststrums: (don't be upset but my heart really)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ PUT IT AT TEN AND LET HIM DIE ]

That's about what I expected. [ he won't haggle anyway. he's terrible. but; ] I'm supposed to share with Taichi how much it is, first, so I'll put them in your locker when I buy it. It'll be before Thursday night, at least.

[ this is mostly so I don't retcon my cyoa at this point, it's fine ]
darksubverted: (Riku (159))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[NO SHUT UP]

That's fine. When you're ready, you can just put them in. You'll have it as soon as you pay.

...

Don't burn down the dorm, okay?
ghoststrums: (dashing off ahead i reach out instead)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to use it indoors. [ OFFENDED?? ]
darksubverted: (Screenshot_6)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[You're in Fall Dorm for a reason, and being stupid is one of them, even if it might not always be this kind of stupid.]

Then we don't have anything to worry about.
ghoststrums: (you realized it's not my fault)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yea!! he is extremely stupid, but not that kind, ]

You never had anything to worry about in the first place. [ ... ] On that front. With me.

[ specifying because he remember a) the rest of his roommates b) the rest of this game ]
darksubverted: (Riku (103))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. See?]

I probably wouldn't call you a friend if you weren't reliable. So I'll give you that. I have to be able to count on you for something.

[Even if it's just not burning the dorm down.]
ghoststrums: (but in the end there's a drag)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Can it be something more than "not burning down the dorm"?
darksubverted: (pic#14989753)

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[He is quiet for a long time! And then he just says:]

I'll count on you to keep me grounded while things continue to get worrying.
ghoststrums: (the clock moving on it drags me along)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-29 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... hm.

he'll nod at that, serious despite the previous joking around; ]


I will. You can trust me.
darksubverted: (Riku (159))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-29 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[The reassurance is unnecessary, but kinda cute.]

I know. Thanks.
