u do that a lil too readily i think
but the rest of it just sounds like ur fun & charming, right ?

[heh]

[swordhardy]

What? Talk to people?

Right. A tale of brotherhood, huh... not sure how I feel about that. But, it's interesting. What's your page look like?

[pushpin]

offer ur life up

eh ? dont u have like 5 bros ?
way more boring

[swordhardy]

That's the Rangetsu way

You're right. It's only one now, though

Huh? Show me anyway, I don't mind boring

1/2

[pushpin]

i know
but if u make too many debts u cant possibly pay em all

oh
sorry

god fine fine hold on

ATTACHMENT;

[pushpin]

["sorry"? for what? he couldn't have possibly known, and Rokurou probably doesn't want to talk about it anyway]

[it's a distraction he doesn't mind offering when he sends another image, a willingness to offer himself up to be teased by the embarrassing (and, yeah, girly) description if it means Rokurou can avoid something painful]

[swordhardy]

( not everyone holds on to their favors for so long, he almost points out, but in the end decides not to. it's not wrong, per se, that if he takes on too many debts he won't be able to repay them.... but it just doesn't work that way. he'll always repay something paid to him. that's just how he is. or he'll die trying.

he scans the new image and almost laughs. it's not distracting him from something painful because those memories don't really bother him, but it does lure him away from explaining when he otherwise would have.

there's no teasing or prodding, just: )

It sounds like you

[pushpin]

ugh
great, thnx

[swordhardy]

You don't like it?

[pushpin]

its just boring & lame
im not really into nice things or like.... bein
whatever that word is
materalistic
& im not that good at makin money
.....or well i guess i didnt used to be

[swordhardy]

It's not lame

Reliable, practical, devoted, and responsible. Those all sound good to me. Oh, but I told you that that's my favorite type, right? I'm biased

Even so, I think that's much better than being two faced

[pushpin]

ur really biased

[especially when it comes to him? maybe?]

hm
i dunno i dont think ur 2-faced entirely
just that u take a while to make up ur mind.... maybe
its annoying at first but some people dont mind waitin

[could be that's why people like that are your favorite]

[swordhardy]

( there are a lot of reasons for his bias; some known, some unknown, influenced even now by old memories. spite that simply became part of who he is, what he likes, what he's inclined towards. but like usual, he doesn't say anything he's not directly asked. )

Mm. But at least once I make up my mind, I won't change it

[pushpin]

guess well see

taurus & gemini aint really supposeda go together
i think that makes me like it more

[said by the guy who "doesn't like challenges"]

[swordhardy]

( everything beansprout ever does refutes that )

It even tells you that? That's pretty detailed

[pushpin]

yea
some signs are supposed to go together more n others

[swordhardy]

So fortune telling's common, back where you're from?

[pushpin]

uh....
sometimes yea i guess
some people name their kids after the days they were born or stars from their birth
which sounds about as weird as naming them after birth order
then theres like weddings only on certain days
& shit like feng shui

[swordhardy]

I was going to say, that's not too unfamiliar

Never really thought about it much before. They probably have their own on the station too, huh?

[pushpin]

what
like star signs & stuff ?
i just guessed that there werent that many people born here
maybe down on haen

[swordhardy]

Yeah, or residents bringing their own with them and making them popular.

Man, that reminds me. I want to go down there

[pushpin]

yea ? why ?

[swordhardy]

Curious to see what's down there, you know? If there's real grass, mountains, fields, rivers... what the towns and cities are like. It's more freedom.

[pushpin]

[...what a Gemini]

[Guanshan just thinks it looks like a big and terrifying unknown, filled with -- what? aliens, monsters, more people like the ones here who spread him open and throw credits down on his night stand? fuck that]

yea shoulda guessed

[swordhardy]

Not interested?
