[Today is a terrible day! You do not know why it's a terrible day, but it is. Everything's ominous and you've probably walked into ten tables and door frames and couldn't find your favorite coat and perhaps even got robbed by a hobo. Either way, your luck is terrible! Enjoy it! Or not. Because it'll get worse.

Meanwhile in Michi's residence, a corpse has disappeared. Corpses do not usually get up and wander away. This one did and is found standing in the middle of the street staring at nothing. It is almost as terrible as your day is, and you simultaneously run away and get closer.

Both of these are terrible ideas, but there is no correlation between them whatsoever. You're silly to think that way! Go enjoy your terrible day! However you wish to.



But no really, to anyone who comes over there is nothing but terrible here. And up to three bingo squares. Have fun guys.]

Then you must be certain to give her ample time to think! You aren't allowed to die.

[screwreality]

Of course not. I can't revive anymore.

[And if Michi has even the most rudimentary knowledge of love, she will be immediately beaned upside the head with the brick known as "Why The Girlfriend Who Is Constantly Alone Is Pissed".]

[hairpine]

-- Ah...

[...... shit.]

... Is that what you traded for us?

[screwreality]

It was never 'mine' to begin with. It was Anshin'in-san's.

[hairpine]

But --

How will you see her, if you no longer resurrect?

[......... wait shit back up]

-- And you prior to deciding against leaving, you mentioned that you would allow one of those people to kill you! Please explain!

[screwreality]

Seeing her won't be the problem. The door will just be locked.

[In the moment it takes to put that answer and the question he ignored together is the moment she gets the right answer.

And then he kicks her thought in the face.] Has Liam asked you out yet?

[hairpine]

Then it would be wise for her to unlock the door!

[Which is all she really has to say on the matter. Don't die unless you're going to get better. :T]

... I'm not certain what you mean.

[screwreality]

[Except Ajimu won't because she's a bitch and can't because she's not actually able to reverse permanent death. Not even gods are all-powerful, you know?

But he doesn't explain this, because he's currently stuck in the position of not talking about her anymore they're already about to break up and not wanting to hurt her any further because her life is already kind of shitty today.

Instead, let us take the middle road, and just ruin Liam's life.] To use terms you're familiar with, he's trying to court you.

[..........................................................]

[hairpine]

What?

[The most elegant of responses.]

[screwreality]

Should I repeat myself?

[He doesn't like repeating himself-- Well, Michi can probably be forgiven in this case.]

[hairpine]

[She could've misheard. She hallucinates sounds constantly. Everyone does, with hers being of especially good quality -- "good" being sort of up for debate. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, it doesn't matter. She's used to the things that happen when she's with Kumagawa. Nausea, feelings of ants beneath the skin, general dread -- no auditory hallucinations.

She has never not heard him clearly, putting the brackets aside.]

B-But -- why? I'm not...

[Normal or sane or charming I don't understand boundaries I'm barely even a human wait no Kumagawa said to stop that I guess I'm a human but what about the rest?]

[screwreality]

He seems to like you as you are. Even if you don't like yourself. ...Hah. This discussion feels familiar. Don't you think?

[hairpine]

But --

What... do I do? This entire time...

[It makes a lot of sense in retrospect. The flushing. The gifts. This whole time she'd been totally oblivious Jesus Christ what a bitch. Shouldn't she know how having your feelings ignored feels better than anyone?]

Erm --

I don't understand.

[screwreality]

[liam is going to hunt him down and smash his head into a window





worth it]

Do whatever you feel. That's the point. But be sure to tell him you know what his actions mean.

[hairpine]

I don't know...

[In yet another fit of despair that is all Kumagawa's fault, even if it is way less negative, she just. Puts her head down on the table again. Nope can't cope. Fresh out of cope.]

Why did you tell me this?

[screwreality]

To dodge a subject.

[Blunt. Said as he rises and leaves her vision, probably to walk out and go about being a villain to the rest of the world.

Except while she's facetable'd, she gets a headpat. He's still completely out of her vision. It means she misses he smile, but the voice is genuine enough to picture it.]

I think you deserve happiness.

[hairpine]

[But
But I'm a monster and

:(((((((((((((((((((((((((

True to her word though, even if she does notice him "leave," she doesn't get up. Then she presses her cheek closer against the table at the headpat. Nnnooooooooooo :(((]

Thank you.

... But what should I say to him?

[screwreality]

Hmmm... Well. How do you feel?

[A simple question, but it's pretty heavily implied he means in any and all fashions.]

[hairpine]

... Regarding this? Or -- perhaps in a more general sense -- erm, regardless, it is not as if I am rejecting the possibility of a relationship with Mr Liam... I love him very dearly, in the same way that I love you, of course, but --

[She stops for a second to breathe. Partially because she said all of that in a single breath and partially because she was about to say something self-depreciating and Kumagawa would do that SHUT YOUR STUPID FACE MICHI THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU HE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU thing again.

She wonders if this how he feels when she does it to him. Man, what a bitch.]

... Erm. I'm uncertain.

[screwreality]

[For once, he doesn't turn Michi's attitude against her. He just gives the light, tolerated 'mmm' noise of someone watching you completely drive past the point but that's okay. Because he points it out right after.]

So tell him that.

[hairpine]

[This is a giant role reversal and she doesn't like it. :( Which makes this especially amusing --]

... Must I?

["Do I have to?"]

[screwreality]

[Thankfully for Michi, he is not a friendship terrorist. He's a delicate maiden and she gets let off with that.]

Only if you want to.

[hairpine]

If you were... so inclined, do you believe that you could tell him for me?

[screwreality]

[...Do I have to?

What would the bitch say to this?

Oh, right, something like 'you've been a douche and go do something nice to make up for it'.

But with more pin-up shots.



dammit mental-ajimu is right]

How do you want to go about it?
