Thanks for your answers, guys. But I don't think he's much of a horror fan...
[ and personally she's lived enough horror that anything she watches might just be judged from a realistic point of view.
Moving On, ]
I'll keep it in mind for you three though! Or we can explore different genres sometime and find out what we all like best, since honestly I don't have an idea either!
just a lot of "..." for typing and then deleting and then typing again and then deleting and
okay. nevermind no that's it she's leaving it there she doesn't know how to put it anyways. it could not be more obvious she had more to say and decided not to say it. ]
It's not intimate, Takasugi. Unless you make it by getting handsy, and I'm definitely not planning on that happening.
[ again. anyway,]
And it's just Rafayel. Our mutual friend who complains but goes along with whatever so it probably doesn't matter what movie actually thanks for talking it out with me my mind is clear.
[ sssssssssshe is going to throw herself out the windo ]
I just want to make up for something that happened last month, okay? As friends! I've I've kind of been avoiding him and I feel awful about everything, so I just thought that maybe we could catch a movie and be normal again!
... ugh. it's too hard to type it, because then it's-- there, like, permanently, and staring at the words only worsens her embarrassment. so. yes, pick up, we're facetiming this conference call. malkuth's hugging her legs to her chest, cheeks flushed and eyes turned a bit away...
a beat. a sigh, burying her face into her knees as she muffles loud enough to hear: ]
I kissed him.
[ just get that out of the way right now like pulling a bandaid off. ]
I kissed him! [ she's ignoring them as her arms go up like she can't believe it either ] And it-- the circumstances were kind of bad, my other soul was acting up so I just wanted some company and he ended up in my room and--
[ deft fingers tracing lines from her neck to her shoulder, nearly a ghost of a brush down to her hand, the goosebumps nearly rise again at the thought. her temperature sure does though, and malkuth flops backwards on her bed, bringing the syntrofos with her as she curls up. ]
We didn't do anything beyond that and it won't affect us professionally. [ just so they know. she's still glum regardless. ] But I... I miss talking to him, and every time I think to try I chicken out. So I thought a movie would be fine. Since we don't need to look at each other or even talk really.
Good. There should be boundaries in the work place, right? Or something like that.
( says takasugi. )
Anyway, uhm... kissing him is pretty serious. So is missing his voice. Are you sure he's interested? He once mentioned how easy it would be to take advantage of me. I get the feeling he says things like this a lot.
So long as work gets done, I don't really care about whether you got relationships in the workplace or not, [says Rinne.] but Raffy does say shit like that.
You sure he's not playin' ya?
[He's gonna hold off on revealing other things he knows until later. Or maybe never.]
He's pretty popular, that guy. I proposed to him twice—
[There is a lot of irony here and Niki knows it, but he's been pretending he doesn't know what Takasugi's been up to, so... He's just going to ignore all of the really suspicious things he's saying right now!]
It does sound like he's tried to seduce half the people here.
