CA: *he's got a stand set up somewhere in the halls where he's selling his CDs, posters behind him stating that it's Deeph<3rts new mix "an ocean of sorrowv", available early on this ship. Cronus is also wearing his sexy bard getup, so his middrift is very very exposed*
CG: *After the Great Dog Happening of Whatever Year It Is, Kankri decides maybe taking a walk to get his mind off of the destroyed legs of his desk is a good idea. This is how he stumbles upon Cronus' stand, and more importantly, Cronus' outfit. Were he drinking something, he might have spit it out. Instead, he simply stops.* Excuse y9u, 6ut were y9u aware that y9u seem t9 have f9rg9tten t9 put 9n cl9thes?
CA: *smirks and leans on his stand* vwhat? like vwhat you see? or rather vwhat you DONT see?
CG: *Makes a face and tries to find anything to look at BUT Cronus' exposed skin* I h9pe y9u realize that dressing in that manner, especially when in pu6lic, c9uld 6e pr96lematic f9r y9ur fell9w residents 9f this ship. I mean, plenty 9f pe9ple are pr96a6ly triggered, 9r at least made a little unc9mf9rta6le 6y y9ur 6razen display. While I'm sure y9ur stand is imp9rtant t9 y9u, I think y9u sh9uld g9 6ack t9 y9ur 6l9ck and find y9urself s9me pr9per attire. If y9u d9n't have anything, I'm sure I have a spare sweater in my 9ffice... *While he's talking, he picks up one of the CDs, studying it rather than looking straight at Cronus*
CA: heh, so basically im a distraction, right? thats totally vwhat i vwas going for. *leans back some, grin broadening*
CG: *"an ocean of sorrowv"? Is this some kind of cry for help? CLEARLY, Cronus has many issues which need to be worked out via a good lecture - TALK - or two or five. Kankri looks back up at him, a frown on his lips.* N9. Triggering s9me9ne, 9r even just making them unc9mf9rta6le, while I supp9se it IS a distracti9n, isn't exactly the g99d kind 9f distracti9n, especially when y9u c9nsider that s9me9ne c9uld 6e seri9usly hurt 9r upset 9r 9therwise negatively affected. 6right 9r flashy cl9thes can attract attenti9n, 6ut I seri9usly d9u6t if it's the kind 9f attenti9n y9u're l99king f9r, seeing as it seems y9u're trying t9 get pe9ple t9 purchase these al6ums. My rec9mmendati9n w9uld 6e f9r y9u t9 dress a little m9re m9destly and try instead t9 talk t9 pe9ple and tell them a69ut y9ur music -- assuming that this is y9ur music, and if it's n9t, I'm s9rry f9r having made that assumpti9n, 6ut I can 9nly guess since y9u haven't exactly made it clear.
CA: vwell yeah its my music. havwent you heard of deeph<3rt? hes the hippest musical genuis to havwe emerged this past svweep, and youre lucky enough to be staring right at him.
CG: Whether f9rtunately 9r unf9rtunately, I have n9t heard 9f this 'Deeph<3rt' 6ef9re t9day, and while I'm sure his music is entertaining, I d9n't c9nsider myself lucky t9 6e staring at him, c9nsidering his ch9ice 9f cl9thing - 9r rather lack there9f - and the fact 9f h9w unc9mf9rta6le it is t9 be 'staring right at him' just n9w. Seri9usly, y9u sh9uld c9ver y9urself. N9t 9nly is it disrespectful t9 th9se ar9und y9u wh9 may n9t want t9 see y9u dressed in such a way 6ut are f9rced t9, it's disrespectful t9 y9urself, as it distracts fr9m the myriad 9f w9nderful pers9nality traits I'm sure y9u p9ssess.
CA: vwowv you think my personality is great? i think i might be flattered. heres the REAL question, though... if i vwear more clothes, vwould i be more appealing?
CG: I'm n9t entirely sure what y9u mean 6y appealing in this situati9n, 6ut it w9uld certainly 6e easier t9 l99k at y9u with9ut feeling quite as wr9ngly as I d9 n9w, and that in and 9f itself makes the idea 9f c9nversing with y9u m9re appealing, as it were. Fr9m there I supp9se your level 9f appeal will depend entirely 9n y9ur c9nversati9nal skills and a6ility t9 sh9w the af9rementi9ned pers9nality traits in a genuine manner, which may help y9u t9 sell y9ur al6ums and perhaps make a friend 9r tw9.
CA: vwell, im all for that. so are you some kind of fashion expert or vwhat?
CG: What? N9, I d9n't think I w9uld refer t9 myself that way, despite the fact that I am m9st certainly capa6le 9f discerning what is and is n9t 'g99d' in terms 9f fashi9n, regardess 9f what pe9ple may say t9 the c9ntrary, I still w9uldn't call myself an 'expert' 6y any means. That title I think sh9uld remain reserved f9r th9se wh9m earned it thr9ugh hard w9rk and studies, as is true with all pr9fessi9nal titles. Speaking 9f which, while I may n9t 6e a fashi9n expert, I am the ship's c9unsel9r, s9 if y9u sh9uld ever feel the need t9 talk t9 s9me9ne a69ut any issues y9u may 6e having, 9r if y9u just need t9 vent, the d99r t9 my 9ffice is nearly always 9pen, and judging 6y the title 9f y9ur al6um, perhaps we sh9uld schedule y9u f9r an app9intment t9 see if we can't get t9 the 69tt9m 9f this '9cean 9f s9rr9w'.
CA: hey, vwhy not? im dowvn for hanging out. vwhat time do you vwant me ovwer? ivwe got so many deep issues that are just vwaiting to burst out of my chest.
CG: *Surprised face, which is really just the same face but with slightly wider eyes* H9nestly I expected y9u t9 immediately deny any issues y9u may 6e experiencing, and I'm pleasantly surprised 6y y9ur willingness t9 9penly admit that y9u're having pr96lems. It really says s9mething a69ut y9u as a pers9n and h9w in tune y9u are with y9urself. F9rtunately, I just checked my schedule 6ef9re I left the 9ffice, and I d9 have an 9pening t9m9rr9w aftern99n if y9u're availa6le then, th9ugh I'm sure y9u're 6usy with y9ur musical career and I kn9w it is rather sh9rt n9tice, 6ut I think we sh9uld get started 9n y9ur sessi9ns as s99n as p9ssi6le.
CA: vwell then, its a date. i might evwen bring my good clothes and a snack along.
CG: *SQUINTS. A date? What to heck?* I d9n't kn9w that I w9uld call it a date, m9re like an app9intment. That said, wearing actual cl9thes c9mes highly rec9mmended, especially since there's n9 need t9 put 9n th9se s9rt 9f theatrics 9nce y9u walk thr9ugh the d99r 9f my 9ffice, 9r when speaking with me at all, really. C9nsider my 9ffice s9mething 9f a safe space where 'real talk' is enc9uraged and there's n9 need t9 put 9n any s9rt 9f mask. Als9, there's n9 need t9 6ring snacks 9f any s9rt as my 9ffice is st9cked with hyp9allergenic gluten-free fat-free cal9rie-free c99kies, which are s9mething 9f a guilty pleasure 9f mine, th9ugh I w9uldn't mind sharing them with y9u sh9uld y9u 6e hungry.
CA: vwowv, you havwe cookies, too? this is a really cookie stuffed ship. some other babe already gavwe me a vwhole bunch the other day. it vwas pretty svwell of her.
CA: youre really setting the mood for this.
CG: While I fail t9 see h9w I'm setting the m99d f9r an app9intment t9 discuss y9ur plentiful issues, I appreciate the fact that y9u appreciate the eff9rt I put int9 making it as c9mf9rta6le a situati9n as I can. *looks back down at the CD still in his hands* F9rgive me f9r suddenly changing t9pics, 6ut I think it w9uld 6e in 69th 9f 9ur 6est interests if I purchased 9ne 9f these t9 listen t9 6ef9re 9ur meeting t9m9rr9w, s9 as t9 help me further understand this '9cean 9f s9rr9ws' and perhaps find a starting p9int f9r 9ur lecture - I mean, discussi9n. There might 6e material f9r a real 6reakthr9ugh 9n this CD, and I w9uld 6e remiss as y9ur c9unsel9r if I 9verl99ked it.
CA: yeah sure, theyre just tvwenty caegers, nice and affordable vwithout being completely cheap. *leans on the stand again, this time resting his elbow on it with his head placed on his hand*
CG: *nods slightly even tho he has no idea how much a CD is supposed to cost anyway and just...hands over the money in whatever way. money exchanges hands.* It sure s9unds like y9u've put a l9t 9f th9ught int9 this wh9le music thing. It must 6e very imp9rtant t9 y9u. Have y9u 6een making music f9r y9ur wh9le life, 9r is it a recently disc9vered passi9n?
CA: *cOUNTS UP THAT MOONAY* it vwas a recent thing. after a particularly difficult rough spot in my life i discovwered the only thing that truely made me happy vwas... *PULLS OUT HIS KEYTAR and strums it* my music.
CG: A r9ugh sp9t? That s9unds like s9mething we sh9uld discuss t9m9rr9w. I'll make a n9te 9f it when I get 6ack t9 my 9ffice, 6ut f9r n9w, I think we might 6e getting ahead 9f 9urselves. I want t9 save the hard-hitting questi9ns f9r 9ur sessi9n when I think they c9uld really d9 s9me g99d f9r my career, which is t9 say, f9r y9ur mental state and pr9l9nged happiness. That said, I'm g9ing t9 g9 get s9me listening time in 9n this al6um, and I'll see y9u t9m9rr9w f9r s9me real, meaningful c9nversati9n. *gives a face that might be a smile except his mouth is still a flat line, if a little less tight-lipped*
CA: yeah, sure, chief. i look forvward to it. *SMIRK*
CG: *AWKWARD SILENCE for like at least 5 seconds before Kankri scuttles away like a huge nerd*
