Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Because I'm pissed off about it, among other things. You can call me a hypocrite if you want. But I'm not saying you don't have your own right to be mad.

Now, back to the cupcake thing. To stir your memory, I got Mad because I told you to your face I kept that letter from you because it reminded me of you, you insisted over and over again that I somehow meant as some kind of trophy for a long con and refused to believe that maybe it was a nice thing I got during a hard time in my life and that meant something to me.

Oh.

[a long moment of silence. thinking. he almost says something a couple of times there, but in the end doesn't]

[takes a deep breath and lets it out]

And I'm bringing it up because you did it again just now. So let me state it clearly and you know I can't lie. I wasn't using you as a means to find out what was in my visions, I was using my visions as an excuse to talk to you.

[his eyebrows furrow just the slightest, and he does indeed watch Booker closely for the smallest indication of electrocution, but it doesn't happen.


a quiet, annoyed sigh.]


The person you cared about is no longer here.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Bullshit. That's not how it works. The person I care about hates himself and wants to be someone else, sure. But you're still him.

[huffs]

If you think Asura would have been capable of half or more the things I've been saying and doing lately, then I'm afraid you never knew him as well as you think.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Everyone's capable of change. You think I was born an asshole? Obviously not, I decided to be one after I saw what people pleasing got me.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

And what I'm saying is that the person I am now is not interested in being friends with you. I told you as much before.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

And what I'm telling you is that doesn't change anything for me and I'm not going to pretend like it does.

Do you still care about me?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

No.

[climbs his knee again]

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[ow tiny needle dragon claws ow]

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

[stands on his knee when he is up there]

Was that answer honestly how you felt or were you pausing to convince yourself of whatever you want to be true for Geto Suguru so that you can pass lie detection?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[a tiny shudder that Booker can probably feel, since he's standing on him]

Stop using that. I told you, it's Curtain.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

Okay. Answer my question, Curtain.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

I don't owe you explanations.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

I'm going to take that as I was right, then.

It's the only thing that makes sense really. There's no way Asura suddenly stopped caring about his parents but if you're able to just put whatever you want into a box and label is as not your problem and actually believe that, then it's no wonder my ability hardly ever works on you.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

... As someone else put it, sometimes you need to choose what's important to you, and that becomes your truth.

1/2

[thefaultinthestars]

You know, I don't even disagree with that, but I decided Asura was important to me a long time--

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

[whoa, time to suddenly start growing back to normal size again]

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[on my KNEE???]

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

[BLAME RIKA.

anyway it doesn't happen instantly and there is a moment where he can decide to jump off Geto, which would be the normal thing to do in this situation. the act of a person who was feeling normal about this

he does not he goes the other direction and drops into Curtain's lap so when he finishes growing in a few seconds you have a full Booker Storm right there]

--anyway, like I was saying--

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[I'M IN HELL]

Booker.

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[thefaultinthestars]

[GOOD, WE CAN BE IN HELL TOGETHER.

Swiftly puts his hand around Curtain's throat and presses his extremely pointy thumb talon against some extremely delicate skin.]

--I have some more questions.

Why are you doing this to me and not to your ex-wife?

Re: Day 249, 3AM

[fullcursemeal]

[what the fuck.

his breath catches, and Booker can feel Shura's pulse quicken under his fingertips. he doesn't reply right away, brain catching up with the rest of the situation that seems to be happening. and when he finally does, it's:]



Huh?
