[straying]

You know... this actually isn't that bad! I mean, in comparison to what could be happening this time of year? I'm a little irritated that I can't seem to change, but that's only because it's a little chilly.

[Yes, Saya's pacing around her apartment, all dressed up. .... not that you can see most of the top portion. See this guy here? See that cloak?

She pulls it off way better than he does. :D Many thanks, Billy.]

No one's afraid of ghosts around here ri-- Aaahh!

[A surprised squeal that was attempted to be contained. She cuts off the feed quite abruptly-

... she tripped.]

Comments

... so I think I broke my laptop.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Some things are better left forgotten.

...Oh you.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

I would disagree. Everything should be remembered.

It fixed itself overnight! ... kinda.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... and her thoughts go to Naoya. She looks a bit more thoughtful now.]

.... nah, I still stand by what I said. Remembering everything sounds like... just too much.

BRB SCREWING WITH TIMELINES...?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[Naoya has confided in him as well. So it isn't hard to guess.]

Well, Naoya is a special case. He always has been.

I still think remembering is better than forgetting.

IN THE SPIRIT OF PH

[... she just blinks at that. She didn't sleeptalk, did she? Pretty sure she kept her lips zipped when it concerned other people's secrets. But... well, she didn't put anything past Matthew anymore when it came to information.

So now it's time for a bit of exchange.]

... how much did he tell you?

Well... I guess. So long as remembering doesn't hold you off from anything. [Oh, the mixed feelings of am amnesiac.]

FFFF. WE JUST CAN'T ESCAPE IT

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

[A shrug. He smiles.]

Just about everything, I think. Same to you, I assume?

Though memories...you have to live your life the way you want to either way.

NEVER. LOOK AT THIS LOLIRONIC CR RIGHT HERE

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah. A while back. I'm surprised. How'd you get it out of him?

Haha, maybe. I only know one way to live.

IDEK WHAT THIS CR IS

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

There was a bit of an understanding.

I guess that's true for everyone. It works out decently, I suppose.

IT'S FUN AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

.... you didn't aggravate him too much, did you?

Only 'decently'?

INDEED. <3

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

What part of understanding implies aggravation to you?

[...He laughs.]

Well, in your case, it got you killed. But you know. It works out decently for the most part.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Coming to an understanding implies a moderately lengthy conversation. A moderately lengthy conversation with you that wasn't even the slightest bit irritating at some point is something that I have not experienced yet. [She snickers.] And I've got a fair amount of conversations to go by, don't you think?

Oh, you just love bringing up my mistakes and downfalls, don't you?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Then no, I didn't antagonize him too much. He's the "remorseless murderer"; show some concern for me, every once in a while.

[CHEEKY GRIN.]

Someone has to.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Well, he has only attacked you once and that's because you broke into his house. I'll worry about you when you deserve it.

[A cough that sounds suspiciously like 'Like never'. And then she clears her throat. :D]

Yeah well, I can count on you to knock down my ego, huh?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

Well, that's because he's really just way too soft, much as he tries to hide it.

And of course. I'll try to never disappoint.

[/innocent face]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

He is, isn't he? Too bad most people can't figure that out.

[It'd make her job easier if they could.]

Well, you know how it goes~ 'An eye for an eye' and all that jazz.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

He is good at hiding it, I'll give him that.

[He shrugs.]

I wouldn't dream of stopping you.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I guess... Just always seemed kinda... stand-offish to me. Really helpful when he wants to be, though.

[It's weird to discuss Naoya, but she's been wondering about him for a while now.]

Always thought of him as an informant.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

He's just afraid of attachments.

[He shrugs nonchalantly.]

Though he does make for a good informant.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Is it really that hard to let things come and go?

[Yep, sounding honestly confused. sitting down at the couch, fiddling with that ornate mask.]

Doesn't he? Speaking of information, anything new happen? I figure you and Naoya wouldn't get together for a casual conversation.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

It can be. When you didn't want to let them go, and they were ripped away anyway.

[Oh, he knows.]

Nothing notable. We'll be sure to let you know when there is, though.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Oh.... Hmm, yeah. That would be pretty bad, huh?

[She feels a little bad, but... what's the point in showing Matthew pity when he seems to be fine? Instead, she shrugs. Clearly she's not really familiar with the idea of not wanting to let things go.]

Let me know a little late so you can have a headstart, right?

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

It can be. But things are different here anyway, so he really just needs to stop being such a stick in the mud.

[Snerk.]

I plan on it.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he's so... unbelievably stubborn.

[And she'd sigh, but that second comment makes her laugh.]

I'll catch up anyway. You can count on that.

[redcloakedthief.livejournal.com]

If anyone can wear him done, you can.

[It's just a statement of fact. And--]

We'll see, I suppose. You don't always win, you know.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[A confused look.] Talk about responsibility.

Not always, but more than you do~
