I'M NORMALLLLL PLEASE DATE MEEEEE

[screwreality]

[SUCH A WONDERFUL DAY! Full of snowbanks and sunshine and ~ROMANCE~. Victorian gents wander around with their ladies. Victorian hobos holler at prostitutes for discounts. Forgetful idiots swarm flower shops for last-minute attempts at getting flowers before they go home and get murdered by their wives.

IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY, YOU BASTARDS! Spam your fellow taggers! Play hard to get and stop responding to everyone but your personal favorite! Sob and eat ice cream while watching your inbox stay empty! CELEBRATE WITH ALL OF YOUR SPIRIT!]

「I WANT TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE. AND I WANT YOU TO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE OUT OF THE WAY AND SHUT UP. THEN I'M GOING TO DO A MAGIC TRICK!」

「IF MY TRICK FAILS, THAT'S IT! CONTRACT OVER, YOU'RE FREE TO DO WHATEVER. IT IT WORKS, THEN YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE ONE CONTRACT. OKAY?」

[There is now a torrent of Their voices going WHAT THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANTED WHAT THE HELL-- but the reason just smiles like he can't even hear them.

He totally can, cut that out, it's rude you douchebags.]

Only one...with you? I thought you were a married woman. I don't want to be a homewrecker.

[The smile doesn't leave, but something in the presence falters, and hard. That aura is muffling out even Them and the glazed eyes are a lot less relieving.]

...You believed that?

[The brackets are gone.

Why are the brackets gone]

[virinosa]

I believe you don't want to be committed to me.

[screwreality]

[Good enough answer. That feeling snaps back behind brackets.]

「WHY SHOULD I? THEY'RE NOT COMMITTED TO YOU EITHER! MY COMMITMENT IS TO YOUR DEMANDS. THAT'S IT.」

[virinosa]

And if you leave?

[screwreality]

「THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON ALIVE WHO CAN OVERRIDE YOU, AND SHE'S NOT HERE. NOT TO MENTION SHE WANTS SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WANT. SO I DOUBT SHE'LL STEP ON YOUR TOES, HA HA!」

[virinosa]

Then I don't have any objections!

「GREAT! WE HAVE A DEAL THEN!」

[Now Liam just has to hope Ajimu doesn't show up and go "lol quit", because he'd quit on the spot.]
