..are you implying that any romantic attachment I m-may have is full of issues that I must come running to you to complain about…?? 

……….

…you’re quite persistent with your obviously fake friendship attempt..

[shslallstar]

Sheeeeesh. Look, I ain't fakin' anything, ok? All I'm sayin' is that y-- eugh, I just-- I think it'd be pretty damn grim to have nobody to call yer homie.

I dunno, man, just have a think on it, maybe. Seems like you ain't ever had a good friend before. But that don't mean ya should write it off just yet.

[queenoffires]

No.

Guess again, Mister Kuwata.

[shslallstar]

...well shit, that leaves me pretty damn stumped. 

Uh.

Bono?

[toukoofukawa-blog-blog-blog]

..what m-makes you think I want friends like you….?

In my experience… friends only serve as a distraction to romance…

[shslallstar]

Uh... aintcha never heard anyone say 'bros before hos before'? I mean man, sure, doin' the dirty is great 'n' all but ya can't just... have no friends. I mean, who d'you talk to? Who d'you complain to?

[toukoofukawa-blog-blog-blog]

… t-that wasn’t what I mean’t you imbecile…

..but now that you mention it, you do strike me as one of those kind of b-boys. 

[shslallstar]

....imbecile?

Jesus, girl, if y'go round callin' people shit like that for no reason... well no offense an' all but uh.... ain't really a wonder you don't got many friends.

[queenoffires]

Guess whose birthday is in exactly 16 days.

[shslallstar]

Is it Miley Cyrus?

[lmfaoooinactive]

No no no! I liked it, honestly! I thought it was really sweet, and, um… it makes me really happy that someone could think of me like that! Dainty and pretty aren’t words I get to hear often, especially from someone like you!

[shslallstar]

Seriously? But you're so.... y'know. You tellin' me no-one ever says you're pretty as hell? Cuz that ain't right. I mean, 'cause like. It ain't true. You are. Pretty I mean. Not... not pretty. Uh. Yeah. Pretty. Like a flower or somethin'.

[toukoofukawa-blog-blog-blog]

… in my own experience, you get no further from assuming… that people like you. It is s-simply easier to assume the opposite. 

…..you wouldn’t understand. 

[shslallstar]

Eh? People like me?

An' what's that meant t'mean, huh? You sayin' I'm a type? One of those? Tch. S'what the old lady next door used to say 'bout me, an' I never did anythin' to make her hate me! Stinky ol' banshee.

[weikass-deactivated20191021]

so punk rock

[toukoofukawa-blog-blog-blog]

…Nnng… You are right… my spectacles are an eyesore.. just like the rest of me.. But I’m used to that..

[shslallstar]

Wh-- no! Shit, I didn't-- There ain't nothin' wrong with yer glasses, Jesus! They're pretty cute, even! But you can't go round just assumin' that everyone's got it in for ya, doll, or y'ain't gonna get far around here!

[lmfaoooinactive]

O-Oh my! F-Fairy?

[shslallstar]

Well uh... shit, uh, that was prolly overdoin' it. I just... y'know, I just thought 'cuz you're all... y'know. Dainty 'n' pretty 'n' shit. It's gay is hell, I can uh.. I can not. If ya want.

[degeneratis-deactivated20200821]

'What am /I/ doing here?'

Her voice escalated at the end, and she cocked her hip, shocked at the male’s blunt inquiry. Who does he think he is: the Queen of England? No one talks to you like that! Hiyoko leaned forward and stuck out her lower lip, pouting at the redheaded boy. ‘Obviously I’m here to throw pickaxes at bullseye targets, and since you’re in my way I guess you’ll be the first object to aim at! Heehee.’ Your cutesy frown made way for a smirk, which stretched across your face. You maliciously giggle, eyes crinkling in a mirthful squint towards Leon. ‘How dumb can you be, big bro? /Obviously/ I’m here to listen to music and warm-up before dawn!’

[shslallstar]

'Uh.'

He wasn't going to lie - that had been just about the last thing he'd expected. He figured the girl must have been the lost kid of a teacher or something; she only looked about twelve or so. Threats of bodily harm with sharp instruments from said 'child' hadn't really been on the agenda. 

'Y'what? Pickaxes? I just came here t'practise when no-one else is around, ok? N-Not that I don't want people to hear or nothin'! My playin' rocks, obviously!

I just wouldn't wanna make anyone feel inferior, y'know? Ain't too encouraging for all those rookies out there. 'nyway - what the hell you warmin' up for at 2AM?'

[shslallstar]

'Someone's in here!' The blonde girl widened her eyes and held her hand to her mouth, body language slouched but eyes wide and expressing artificial shock. 'I didn't think anyone would be in the music room! It's late and everyone is sleeping.' She blinked and pointed at the mysterious punkish boy on the other side of the room. 'Who're you, and why are you here at 2 in the morning?'

'Shitasstittydicks--"

Leon near enough jumped out of his skin at the sound of another voice than his own, almost dropping the guitar he was awkwardly toting in a fumbling grip. 

'Shiiiit a brick, you scared the hell outta me, don't fuckin' do that!' He straightened his shirt and tossed his hair, looking down his nose at the girl with an almost comedically snooty expression. ''Sides, I got just as much of a right to ask that as you do. So since I was here first, we'll just say I get priority: what are you doin' here?'

S-specs..? Nnnnn! I know my glasses are horribly ugly!! You don’t have to p-point it out!!!! 

[shslallstar]

Wha--!? No, I--

Dude! I was tryin'a be nice! OK, whatever, mental note taken never to give ya any nicknames. Sorry that it made y'go all batshit or whatever, s'just kind of a thing I do. Don't mean no harm, really. 

[toukoofukawa-blog-blog-blog]

I write… romance novels. Actually… they’re quite popular…! 

.. or so I’m told. I’m probably being lied to..

[shslallstar]

Uh. Think you might have some kinda paranoia thing goin' on there, Specs. Might wanna look into that. I mean, if yer here, they gotta be good, right? Don't get me wrong, I ain't exactly a reader but c'mon, you're at Hope's Peak. That's gotta say somethin', don't it?

[lmfaoooinactive]

A-Aww! I didn’t think you’d notice I was gone!

[shslallstar]

Eh? You kiddin'? Shit ain't the same without ya, Fairy. It's good to have ya back. 

...Real good.

[toukoofukawa-blog-blog-blog]

S-so many new people…

… but it’s not like they have any interest in befriending me. 

[shslallstar]

Wow, bet you're just a barrel o'laughs with that attitude, huh? Still, since I'm such a smooth criminal I'm just gonna go ahead and talk to ya anyways. Let's break the ice or whatever: what's your talent?
