no sex, no drugs, no life, no love, when it comes to today [ indie oc rp blog ]

  That’s a great idea! Maybe you can help me name my kids when I have them?

Yeah, I guess if you make the babies cry all the time then you’re probably a no good baby sitter… Look, you can help me name my kids, but no baby sitting them! Unless it’s really necessary, I guess.

[hotffuss]

Hey, yeah, that sounds like fun! I gotta start thinking of names now, with how many kids you were thinkin' of having.

Well--you're not wrong, probably. I mean, it's not that I make them cry, though! I just can't really stop them from crying once they start. And then it's all downhill from there! That sounds like a good idea, though...

[rptx-blog]

  No, you’re totally right! If they all have the same birthday and my talent, then as they grow up, they’ll grow up to be called Cupid anyways! Hm… But naming one thousand children is going to be tough…

Ah! That’s… relieving, I guess? I don’t know. You seem kinda young to have kids, but who am I to judge! But… why do you say that?

[hotffuss]

Huh, yeah, I didn't even think of that...well, maybe name them all similar stuff! Like, have 'em all start with C or something. I dunno!

Yeah. Well, you never know, I guess! Oh--why do I say what? The babysitting thing? I guess me and babies just don't get along. I kind of panic whenever there's crying, especially if it's some little kid...

[rptx-blog]

  I promise I will! I’ll call you up, and I’ll be like, “Cupid #54 learned how to walk today! Oooh, look, Cupid #369 learned how to say their papa’s name!” It’ll be so cute… 

But… You have kids?! 

[hotffuss]

You're...going to name them all after yourself? Well, do what you want, I guess! Sounds like an interesting kinda household...

Huh? Oh--noooo, no no no, I wasn't talkin' about my kids! I mean, I hope I don't have kids. I was talking like, babysitting...I did that a couple times. Never really worked out too well.

[rptx-blog]

  If it doesn’t, then I’ll have to start one by myself! I’ll have one thousand kids, but I’ll make sure they all have the same birthday: February 14th! And then I will teach them my epic skillz, and they’ll all know! It’s an ingenious plan!

[hotffuss]

See, that's the spirit. Ah, good luck dealing with that many kids, though...I usually can't handle more than one! I, uh, hope you have fun with those epic skillz though. Lemme know how it all turns out if you ever go through with it!

[rptx-blog]

  H-Huh? Oh! Oh, yes.

Sorry, I… was kind of in my own world there for a minute. I’m… sure there’s no such thing as “The Cupid race,” anyways.

[hotffuss]

Don't worry about it! Happens to me all the time...probably. Anyway, hey, there could be a such thing as that! You, uh, never know.

[rptx-blog]

  Noooo! The fate of the Cupid race is doomed forever if we don’t come up with something soon…

[hotffuss]

Th-the Cupid race? Well, hey--it's not really so bad if you're the only one, right, dude? That makes you unique, that's cool.

[rptx-blog]

  That seems like a great idea! Except…

How are we supposed to know if they have my talent if they’ve just been born?! 

[hotffuss]

Simple! We...ah...uh...

That's a good question.

[rptx-blog]

Ding-ding! You’re the winner! Maybe there’s a science to it? I’ve never met any other people with the same birthday as me, so maybe out there, there are other Cupids running around, matching people up with their love arrows! Or their friendship arrows, I guess! It really makes you think, huh? 

[hotffuss]

Oh, I knew it! And hey, maybe there is. You oughta try to find someone born on the same day as you! Maybe visit hospitals on the 14th and see if anyone's just been born...or maybe not, haha! I guess you never know, right?

[rptx-blog]

Everyone calls me an expert matchmaker! You should see some of the couples that got married straight out of high school because of me. It’s a gift! But nobody calls me matchmaker, they just call me Cupid. But it’s not just a matchmaking thing… I kind of have the strangest birthday ever for a talent like mine. Can you guess when it is?

[hotffuss]

If you say so! That's almost bordering on spooky...you sure you don't have some kind of special powers you're hiding? Voodoo love magic? But ah, if that's true, I guess it is a new nickname. And, what, you want me to guess your birthday? Okay, Cupid--it's not seriously Valentine's Day or something, right? That'd be too good to be true.

[rptx-blog]

  Are you going to give me my own special nickname? How sweet for someone you just met!

[hotffuss]

Oh, come on! If I remember right, you called yourself an "expert matchmaker" not too long ago, man. Don't give me all the credit!

[rptx-blog]

  If you say so. But if you do ever need help, you can come find me. I’ve never really tried it, but I’m sure I could make two people who are friends closer too, if that sounds like more fun!

[hotffuss]

Well, I'll keep it in mind. That does seem more my style--ah, what the hell! If I ever need a real good pal, I'll let you know, matchmaker. 

[rptx-blog]

  Not your thing? Hey, did you ever wonder for even a second why most people call me Cupid?

It’s because I’m an expert matchmaker! I’m great at hooking people up, ignoring whether or not I can get a date myself. If you haven’t met the right person yet, I can help you!

[hotffuss]

Well, I can't exactly say I never wondered...

Ah--that's some talent you got there, I guess. But I don't really think it's an issue of meeting the right person. So I'll...pass this time!

[rptx-blog]

  I’m not sure how well I’ll have to play my cards just to get to meet your mother! Marriage is another game entirely. 

[hotffuss]

Beats me! Though I'm sure she'd be eager for a chance to meet you. I don't bring folks home often--and marriage isn't exactly my thing, anyway. But I guess you never know.

[rptx-blog]

  I will! I’ll make sure to thank her for your good looks too.

No reason! I was just curious. 

[hotffuss]

Ha, great. The way that convo would go, she'd think you're about to ask her for permission to marry me or something!

Well--okay. If you say so.

[rptx-blog]

  On the contrary! I think it’s a wonderful name, Raleigh. 

…I don’t really sound like that, do I?

[hotffuss]

Eh, it's alright--but you give me too much credit. Thank my momma.

Mmm...I might have embellished a little. Why?

[rptx-blog]

  Most people would give their name back in return during an introduction.

I was right! It does sound good when you say it. [ One tries to mimic the other’s voice. ] Ceres…that fits you!

[hotffuss]

Ah, fuck! I always forget!

Name's Raleigh--some people call me Lee, I guess. My name's not interesting like Cupid or Ceres or anything.

Oy, you make me sound like a dweeb! [He jokingly mimics Cupid's voice.] It dooooooes sound good when you say it.

[rptx-blog]

  [ …One tried to ignore the comment about his look. ]

It’s nice to meet a person around who doesn’t know my name. I’m king of famous, you know! People all over know me as Cupid. However, if you want, you may call me my real name… Ceres. I’m sure it’d sound good in your voice.

[hotffuss]

Well, it's nice to meet you too--though I never know anyone, famous or not. Guess I just live under a rock, huh? But, hey--I'm flattered that super-famous Cupid called little old me handsome. Ceres...that fits you!

[He shakes his head] You're too much, you know?
