uh

i mean you werent the only one

just call it even?

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

That sounds a little bit dismissive, it



Souda, what even was that?
Are you okay?

<sodapop>

[creamsouda]

you really shouldn't worry about it

[He knows. he knows. that she's not going to like what she hears.]

it's a lot y'know? i'm good

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

Okay but


It kind of scared me.

<sodapop>

[creamsouda]

I know

I'm sorry

[There's another pause as he types another message.]

it's pretty fucked up

i just wanted to scare that thing
later I got one scared enough off Sonia but it wasn't enough with you
i fucked up

[isawallflower]

The only thing that scared it was fire.
That's all it reacted to.
It was like it didn't feel anything else.

[ ...She hates thinking back to that. She's going to just. Not. ]


Don't do it again okay?

cw: PTSD, introspection relating to trauma

[creamsouda]

[it's weird. it's like, this affects him, and all the same, it doesn't. it's terrifying, but it isn't. He's bothered by having frightened Riley, but the real story would frighten her more. And then there's this one little, annoying, valley-girl-accented voice way in the back of his head telling him that this just isn't even juicy enough to be sad over yet, it could be worse and he's

definitely not listening to it.

what he is listening to are those clear cut instructions. He can abide to that.]

for sure

+ im kinda over parties for a while too i think

[isawallflower]

Honestly? I HATE parties.

[creamsouda]

im p sure they dont all go like this

but maybe a break from parties aint so bad

[isawallflower]

No, all parties are bad.
They may not be THIS kind of bad, but all of them are bad.

Maybe now when I say I don't want to go to them, everyone will listen to me.

[creamsouda]

never had a good party huh?

[isawallflower]

There ARE no good parties.

[creamsouda]

let me make it up 2 u then

next time u wanna hang out with some friends bring em 2 Insert Coin

i'll set up the machines for you to have a free day

not a party, just hanging out

[isawallflower]

What is Insert Coin?
Did you start a business?

[creamsouda]

Its my class reps old business

They called her the ultimate gamer where im from

only makes sense shed make an arcade

[just, you know, a godless one]

[isawallflower]

Someone else you knew who's not here anymore?
That seems to be common with a lot of people.
I didn't realize you were one of them.

[creamsouda]

yea i didnt even get 2 catch her while she was hefre but

*here

its still a big deal

shed wanna see ppl play there

[isawallflower]

What's her name?

[creamsouda]

[it's still kind of weird talking about her as though either nanami is alive, but... She was here, so that means something.]

Nanami

Nanami Chiaki

[and then, as he recalls once again Americans, he elaborates-]

Chiaki first

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

I'm sure she'd be happy to know a friend of hers is taking care of something she established.

<sodapop>

[creamsouda]

[Riley has no idea.]

yea

thats why i gotta get ppl playin there again

so like i said. on the house

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

I don't really play video games?
But I can at least drop by and give it a shot.

<sodapop>

[creamsouda]

just let me know
