Kir💖Royale: I just had an argument with Koko about whether or not it's obvious I care Kir💖Royale: so maybe I'm starting to feel a little doubt Kir💖Royale: maaaaybe I too just need constant validation in the form of literally fucking removing your own vital organs Kir💖Royale: im gonna start demanding human sacrifice
paloma: for better or worse I wouldn't judge by her accounting paloma: I'm not sure she's really seen what it looks like before for someone to care for her like that paloma: but anyway, as I told absinthe once paloma: I may be an idol, but I'll always be a priest and therefore more comfortable holding the knife than on the altar ✨ paloma: I am here for all your human sacrifice needs
Kir💖Royale: I mean yeah I was literally about ten seconds from deciding to just bleed out on our nice carpet Kir💖Royale: but instead I did something reasonable and uncool like "provide examples of the times in which I have shown I take her feelings into account when making decisions" Kir💖Royale: speaking of, we need to talk Kir💖Royale: ..dude im like SO bad at dating apps
paloma: counterpoint: we can be bad at dating apps because we don't need them on account of being very attractive paloma: but that aside—well done with kohime, then paloma: what did you want to talk about?
paloma: I don't know what a hachiko is but I'll give you advice and pat you on the head any day paloma: you can't stop me, in fact. paloma: anyway if you want to receive pats in person I really am in the onsen
Kir💖Royale: its a dog there's a statue of here, memorialized forever for the heroics of being a dumb loser who trusted someone to come back after leaving Kir💖Royale: then he died alone. the end Kir💖Royale: see also: my profile Kir💖Royale: anyways I'll be there in sec wait for me bby 😘
I couldn't imagine. That just sounds so...lonely. I guess that's kinda my problem? I mean, dealing with...everyone on the unit who's not Wifi, I guess.
You all just seem like you wanna stay alone and miserable. I don't get it. You and Emi were fighting for something I guess, which is more than I can say for everyone else seeming like they're just content with being stuck the dumb asshole treadmill for dumb assholes or whatever.
Mm, it’s strange. I spent a lot of time working for the good of people I could never quite be myself around, and working against people I could only be a very curated version of myself around, and here, I can just...
Yeah, same here. It's why Koko thinking I only care when it's convenient dug into me so hard? I kinda hate that I get upset about it?
...I was always something cute to be used or like, creepily fawned slash lusted over, but here I'm just me. You know, whatever I end up deciding that even means. I can trust you guys with that. I feel like an idiot even saying that, hah.
Spice cake, maybe, or something with fruit? Nothing too sweet, most of the time—why do you ask?
Also I think the reason why I don't like emotional vulnerability is because I always feel stupid doing it, so I think that's just normal, for better or for worse.
Well, we got the onsen but I also got my cool tower lair! So I've been stashing stuff there, including snacks, and I thought I could bring some over...um, if you're hungry, anyway.

You may now breathe, for your goddess has arrived!
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
Well. Right on time, then.
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
[ she moves to go sit at the edge, next to Paloma. ]
You know? I don't think I'm ever gonna have kids after this.
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
I've always been quite sure I never wanted to do it full-time. Teaching's enough of it for me.
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
And dumb romance thoughts. Get married, have kids, be happy.
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
Got married early, got divorced early, remarried myself to my work.

Re: KIR💖ROYALE
...I'm reconsidering. A little.
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
Only a little?

It has a certain appeal, suddenly.

[ wheeze. ]
...that'd be nice.
[ is this. is this friendship. ]
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
[ standing up!!! ]
Unless you wanna come...
Re: KIR💖ROYALE
...in that case, perhaps I will tag along, then. I might as well tour all our new accommodations, today.

Re: KIR💖ROYALE
I mostly just looked at my tower! 'Cause I was filling it with stuff.
