Hey so a couple things

1) I have weather powers (no I don’t care if you think that sounds fake) so if the heat’s still bothering you I can help. Just let me know where you are and I’ll come over
2) I’m trying to find work but it’s hard. Anyone willing to hire a 13 yo kid? (ーー;)
3) Have you guys been doing the missions? How do we know if we finished them? What happens if we don’t??? Do we even know

Thanks I guess

Well, I'm glad you have a place to stay!

[stormsoff]

Are you.
Or are you just saying that, like you just say everything.

[hippocarnival]

I am.

But I guess that doesn't really mean much. You've already convinced yourself about who I am, right?

[stormsoff]

WHAT???!!
YOU convinced ME!
dude, what the HELL is your problem???????
WHY are you trying to blame ME for the way things went that day?
You’re the one that gave up and lied and went silent and dodged all my questions
YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SAID I COULDNT TRUST YOU
Or did you FORGET

[hippocarnival]

I didn't say you couldn't trust me? I said I couldn't give you a reason to trust me. Since that's what you said, and I don't know what would change your mind.

[And he'll leave it at a gentle correction instead of everything... else, just to see how Isaac takes it.]

[stormsoff]

sure, because playing semantics is going to win you a ton of points here
what do you WANT
you’re a complete fake
I don’t believe you want anything for me
You’d have to prove it
And you can’t

[hippocarnival]

Okay. I do just want to make sure you're okay, so I'm glad you have a place to stay.

Offer's open if you ever change your mind.

[stormsoff]

what offer
The pity food

[hippocarnival]

Of course it's the pity food. I just offered it, right?

[stormsoff]

I dunno with you dude it might be another shmoopy overture at friendship
Keep it
I don’t want anything from you
And that’s a direct quote
Listen Yuya
If you wanna talk to me again
Which for some reason you keep acting like you want to
Then own up
And figure out why you couldn’t answer me
Come up with something substantial instead of dodging EVERYTHING
Be REAL, for ONCE
And MAYBE we can talk

[hippocarnival]

You're a kidnapped kid that's alone with apparently nobody to call who should be looking for you and we're trapped in a laser barrier. Almost anyone would be worried about that, it's not trying to be your friend.

[Oh, Yuya cringes a little after typing that. Maybe that's harsh when he is alone.]

Sorry. As long as you have a safe place to stay and aren't going to die, then I'll trust whoever's looking after you.

[stormsoff]

So what I’m reading is
You’re not going to try to do what I asked.
You’re just running away
Again.

[hippocarnival]

You know you can just stop replying to me if you don't want to talk right?

[Okay he has to poke a little. He doesn't even know what to say, anyway, when giving his reason for looking out for Isaac was, well, a little harshly honest just now. Was he suspicious from the start because living in this city is normal to him?]

[stormsoff]

Listen to me.
Actually listen, for once.
Unless you can convince yourself to be real with me for three seconds, just THREE whole seconds,
which you can’t, and we both know you can’t,

then leave me the hell alone, Yuya.

Don’t speak to me again unless you want to have a real talk.
