[straying]

Well... I think I've resolved all the matters of my past in the last couple days, so that means I'm back in business! Also had a nice little... birthday celebration of sorts. Heh.

Speaking of which... do we technically age here? I mean, I can technically keep calling myself nineteen, right? It doesn't really matter, I guess, but indulge my curiosity.

And... well, out of these nineteen or twenty years, I don't I've ever had such a break between brawls before- that's not encouragement to start fighting in the streets, guys, but I think my aim might even be getting a little shaky. Don't need another paintball war so soon, but... maybe a tournament would be fun...

[FILTERED TO SHIRAYUKI, ZEN, AND OBI]

So~ I'm going to assume one of two things happened with your living situation. Guess number one! Zen and Shirayuki are in a hilariously awkward situation where they're living together and feel so bad about it because it's not... proper or something, right? And don't tell me you put Obi on the couch- that's just mean.

Or... two: Shirayuki's living in an apartment all by her lonesome but close enough that her two bodyguards aren't worried. Right?

Well, here's option number three~

Shirayuki, you wanna come bunk with me now that I'm heading back to my old place? It's just one floor up from Zen and Obi so they're welcome whenever. ... Well, almost whenever. I reserve the right to kick out anyone after midnight. So... whaddya say?

[FILTERED TO ZEN AND OBI]

Okay okay, I know what you're thinking- don't want your girlfriend too far or Zen'll suffer from seperation anxiety, right? Oh. And the whole safety thing.

But I'm not a top-notch sweeper for nothing so I've got her safety covered. Not to mention it'll ease your conscience so she's not all alone in a two-bedroom apartment by herself. Don't you think she might be getting lonely? We wouldn't want that, right?

So stop being so over-protective and let her give me an answer before you say no.

Heh, that's what I thought. Maybe I'll be able to join in a fight or two myself.

What do you think I should do in terms of rules?

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Rules? You're getting pretty complicated about this, huh...?

[A pause]

No killing's an obvious one, I'm guessing.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

More than obvious.

... but besides that, I can't think of anything.

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Yeah... hmm. I think the last friendly fight I had was with Lightning Head, and the tournament would probably get pretty boring if we had a 'first to harm the other wins' rule...

[...]

So I've got no ideas!

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

First one to hit? Lame!

... but well, think it should be a forfeit sort of thing? Except I dunno if we can count solely on forfeits...

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Do that and everyone's gonna fight until someone collapses.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

"Fight until a judge consider you unable to participate"? That and forfeits should make it a pretty safe deal, right?

Not so safe that it's boring, but not life-threatening either.

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

That might work. Though with this kind of crowd, you never know what might happen.

whoa. capslock.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I'd say that's the fun part.

... Fffffffff I got the notification for that comment /after/ the second one. xD

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Unless someone dies, of course.

ssshhhhhh. I'm switching between crack and srs with your tags.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, I'll enlist some help to make sure that doesn't happen.

It's okay, I found it very amusing. C:

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

You've got more friends I don't know about?

sob sob shut up

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

no <3

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Sounds mysterious!

;;

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Depends on the friend.

C:

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Any of them an albino or wear a scarf?

D:

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

The albino is the mysterious one.

The one with the scarf has mysterious moments, but... eh. Just more generally suspicious.

:D

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Scarf Guy's also pretty nosy.

D8

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

What'd he ask?

8D

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Why you were avoiding me. He thought I did something...

;A;

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Heh, did you tell him anything?

... Okay fine I'm done hating you.

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

I told him that he should ask you about it if he really wanted to know—but that you wouldn't necessarily answer.

FINALLY. ;; /HUGS

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

... alright, that's fair.

I guess now I need to decide on an answer in case he asks.

/HUGS BACK <3

[sweepered.livejournal.com]

Why not just dodge the subject? I mean, I was pretty vague about the deal with you to my partners for a long time.

<333

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I don't think if it's fair for me to be dishonest with him.

Most of the people around here don't know because it's never come up, but...
